In Rememberance of Me

Have you ever experienced a hurricane or seen the effects of one? Many lost precious items, loved ones, homes, jobs and even themselves. Oddly enough I say themselves because when you are coming out of a storm, or trial, in life it is very difficult to process the image of the sun coming out soon. We've all heard the encouraging words of:

 

 It will get greater later!

God won't give you more than you can bare!

 

 

While going through, I can be honest and say that I truly wasn't in the mood to hear those words because the issues of life stung so bad that I wanted to give up BUT GOD! God did it once again! Once I am completely out of this storm... Hurricane Hughes to be exact! Then I can share the details of the great trials that we have endured that have brought us out shining like the jewels that we are.

 

Proverbs 31:¹⁰ A capable, intelligent, and virtuous woman—who is he who can find her? She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above rubies or pearls.

 

I know my worth and I am pleased to be of service to other women and young ladies to assist them in loving themselves again. I realize that in the book, Raising A Proverb 31 Woman, available at www.RaisingAProverb31Woman.com and Amazon.com, it was critical to go back and remember those situations that occurred in our lives to gain the strength needed to endure life's situations. You have a testimony that is available to be a blessing to other. Embrace the process and watch God move!

 

No matter what the name of your storm is remember in Hebrews 4:9 (GW) Therefore, a time of rest and worship exists for God’s people. It is possible to find contentment, rest, peace, and joy in any situation.

 

Remember you are still here through it all.

Balancing Act

Its been a while since we last connected and I know that it is partly my fault since I basically feel off the face of the earth after the baby was born but this picture explains a lot. Lets catch up a bit then I will tell you the great news, the good news and the bad news. Well as you know we were blessed with our bountiful bundle of blessings Purpose Angelique in December. Previously being a successful Work At Home Mother (WAHM), I felt like I had things under control. NOT!!! With the older girls being 10 and 14 now, I imagined that being mommy wouldn't be that difficult to maintain especially since I assist others to walk in their purpose on a daily bases.

I was widely mistaken by the concept that I could be a WAHM to a newborn as well as two preteens. Then to add to the pot; Preston and I decided to get married (with a huge ceremony by the way) in the Spring of 2013. Oh, the fun doesn't stop here because our 10 year old, Razaria, was acting and singing all over the United States. Traveling by vehicle with a baby for over 8 hours to stand in lines at the auditions with a hyper 10 year old while working virtually from these location was the most outlandish idea I could have come up with but NO; I decided to downsize and move to a smaller house in the middle of it all.

Living life with little to no sleep, being a newlywed, in a new home, juggling a business and family was the greatest until I found myself stopping to smell the flowers. Yes, as beautiful and sweet smelling they were realized that I wasn't giving quality to anyone or anything. Have you been there?

 I was miserable because I love my family; yet felt unsuccessful in all that was on my plate. BUT HOW? I had a brain tumor, survived cancer, a divorce, moving cross-country and more only to get to this place of emptiness. I coached others who where "Stuck on Purpose" but how could I truly be a successful coach, mother and wife if I were stuck myself?

Month and months have past and I truly thank my coaches and mentor, Tykesha Boone, MPH, CHES,CNC. Who walked hand and hand with me as I transitioned to this place of Perfecting Wellness www.TyBooneEnterprises.com. As well as Denise Mock, "Go-to Girl for helping small businesses www.denisemock.net. Both believers in God but also in me that no matter what transitions that I was facing that they wouldn't  give up on me nor allow myself to either. God handpicked these ladies just for me. Who would have thought that my madness brought them together as well.

So, nine months later I find myself using what "life experience" has taught me to continue on this "Journey to Purpose" ©WE Purpose 2013. ***Here is your first hint***

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them~Romans 8:28 NLT a scripture that I live by no matter how gloom things look. So, I come to you all refreshed, renewed and restored. Everyday isn't perfect and not ever load of washed, folded and put away but I can tell you that we love each other and have created a system for our household that works for us. Now on to the news! Which would you like to hear first? The great, the good or the not so good? 

Lets start here with the news updates: *On Tuesday, September 10, 2013 at 7pm CST we will have a the unveiling of WE Purpose www.facebook.com/events/424492801001811/  please visit for more information. I know you are wondering about WE Purpose and what it truly means. Please subscribe and comment and tell me what you think. I'd love to reward you for your great suggestions.

That was the great news and please stay tuned to the good new and the not so good news in the next blog. It was great reconnecting with you all and to inform you of all the exciting things that have occurred in my life. Can't wait to see what the unveiling can do for you and your family. See you soon.

THIRTY-ONE GIFTS

In Celebration on the 10 Year Anniversary for Thirty-One Gifts I am super excited to share the celebration with a free zipper pouch to one lucky blogger! This pouch is a $15 value and is perfect to organize everything from make-up to baby supplies in a self-contained, stylish fashion.

Thirty-One hit the direct sales scene in 2003 and began as a vision desiring to help virtuous women nationwide find financial peace while serving their families and churches. As a business we focus on the principals of the Proverbs 31 woman so respected in scripture. Our goal as a company is that each woman we touch is celebrated, encouraged, and rewarded while in our presence.

This home party plan is power packed with free and half price items for home party and catalog hostesses, as well as a dynamite compensation plan for our consultants. A business equally beneficial for the college student, new mom, hobby seeking empty nester, and busy commuter is sure to please those seeking its perks.

As I found Thirty-One by trying to help my cousin reach her goals within the business. I was VERY clear that I was not gonna be that direct sales lady. To be honest I didn't like myself much. I was in debt, over weight, felt like overwhelmed by teaching full time and raising two boys, and my marriage was on the rocks. The LAST thing I needed was to add direct sales to the mix right? Ladies the friendships, debt relief, and empowerment I found through my business has led me to place I never dreamed God had planned for me. I see a light at the end of the debt tunnel, my joy is back, and my ability to reach out and serve feels endless. God used Thirty-One to grant me the ability to find the woman he created again, and I am forever grateful. If you are interested in receiving a mini catalog, a phone chat, do a catalog party, or join my growing nationwide team enter this drawing! What do you have to lose?

Three years ago a $99 investment changed the lives of myself, and my children. There's something here for you!

Today's Mantra: GO!!!

 

 

 

 

 

The Lord had said to Abram, "Go from your country, your people and your father's household to the land I will show you. "I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you." (Genesis 12:1-3 NIV)

2012 is over and their is no need to look backwards but to walk forward into your destiny. The lessons, plans, dreams and visions that are in your heart should be implemented from this point on. I am grateful for this opportunity to be a blessing to you and your journey.  I ask that you take the time necessary to heal from past hurts to move on into your purpose. You are no longer stuck on purpose any longer.

Out with the old…In with the new

Ecclesiastes 3:1

To everything there is a season, a time to every purpose under the heaven:

 

During my journey, whether days were good or bad, I was able to continue on daily with the prayers of others and I am forever grateful. Over the course of time I was divinely connected to a young lady by the name if Kelly Thorne Gore. At some point in our new friendship Kelly shared with me the vision that God gave her for iBloom and she gave me tools of empowerment. From that point iChoose 2 Love My Life was not only a seed planted but it became a movement that embodies my affirmations daily.

 

choose

~make a deliberate decision: to make a deliberate decision to do something

 

I made the decision on that very day in the spring of 2012 to be strategic when making choices in my personal and professional life. Although, I have created resolutions to bring forth change in my life for not only this year but as we begin to close out this year going forward into 2013 I take pride in enjoying every moment of this journey.

love

~like something very much: to like something, or like doing, something very much

 

iChoose2 Love My Life, the book, was just one of the blessings I received this year and I am forever grateful to have a tool written by Kelly Thorne Gore and the iBloom team to show me that no matter what I go through in this year and those to come I can make the conscious effort to love every minute of it. This book is a one year journey toward living a life you love, iChoose2…is only the beginning as we join together in this journey to engage in the tools given each week of the year.

 

life

~living things considered together: a group of living things, usually of a particular kind

 

During 2012 I prayed for opportunities to enlarge my territory and be a part of a community with women that desire to invest in themselves without regrets. Then the opportunity of becoming an ambassador for the iBloom company became available. After being accepted to be a part of this group of Christian Women designed to empower other women I was honored.  It wasn’t a coincidence that collaboration happened this year and to elevate in the upcoming year. Trust that this is only the beginning. So, let the celebration begin!

The iBloom team is having a New Year’s party http://ibloom.co/2013party like no other and this is my special invitation just for you! Kelly and the ladies at iBloom want YOU to be a part of a party where you will be inspired and equipped to begin living a life you love in 2013!

You are invited to grab a copy of the book iChoose2 to Love My Life for $10 or join without the book. The goal is to SIMPLY BE THERE http://ibloom.co/2013party– book or no book- because it will be a blast! But I can tell you having the book in hand will be beneficial and you can’t beat that cost for entrance to a party that will literally change your world and help you move up a level in your thinking and being!

Let’s move into 2013 together by loving a life you love!

Are you investing in yourself?

Raise your right hand and repeat after me...

I solemnly swear to invest in myself from this point on in my life.  Sounds easier said than done, right? I know that every successful person has a coach and is prospering in whatever field they are in. So my question to you is why are you in fear of investing. Is it the money? Fear? Contentment?

Only you can answer these questions! I encourage you not to go into the journey alone. Yes, I am a Purpose Life Coach and Business Consultant that is available to assist you with the process but I believe in the importance of Coaching and Mentoring so much that if I am not the person for you that I would refer you to one of my colleagues.

Transparency

Anyone who truly knows me understands my love for the Asian Culture and Geisha Dolls. Realizing their beautiful and poise yet their secretive natural describes me perfectly.

As I sat up all last night, in a spirit of meditation, I counted my geisha dolls and thought about the representation of the era that was going on in my life when I purchased each one. Symbolizing a growth or deliverance in some sort. Each wore a different garment, simple makeup with bright lipstick, a bright kimono, and an up do hairstyle which made her ready for whatever.

I am a lot like these dolls and I raise my daughters in a similar manner. Always remaining a lady in this fulfilling fantasy; yet ready for battle at any given moment. Yes, positioned to be ready for whatever comes their way. Trusting the destination is set for them and God knows the GPS route. Sitting high but looking low.

Can you say that in your journey of being Stuck on Purpose that you've "positioned" oneself for what is to come. No matter what the circumstances are always stay in position to be exposed before being elevated into the next level.

Dressed for the occasion with your head in the game. Understanding that each move you make must be strategic. I thank God for ordering my steps in this process, guiding my tongue, and allowing me to embrace each day prepared.

Are you prepared for the day at hand?

LaTracey Copeland the Purposeful DIVA Testimony and Journey 10/25 by clarapeters | Blog Talk Radio

LaTracey Copeland the Purposeful DIVA Testimony and Journey 10/25 by clarapeters | Blog Talk Radio

Get yourself in position

Isaiah 42:15-17

 I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar path I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do I will not forsake them.

God has a way of making us uncomfortable in order to move us out of our comfortable/set places. Instead many fight what God is trying to do in their lives. As children of God we are not to be locked into a place. God elevates, promotes, increases & much more. God uses our uncomfortable situations to PUSH US INTO SOMETHING GREATER!!

~Virginia Gail Howard

Many of us, like myself, have been called by God to have a larger purpose in life then what is just within the city limits of Minneapolis, MN. My gifts were expanded 2 years ago from Minnesota but I am grateful for the opportunity to leave seeds in Minneapolis that have harvested to the younger generation. There is absolutely no reason why you cannot pass on information, opportunities or blessings to others. Because of this very reason I am honored to introduce you this gifted young man, Brandon Johnson, 21 who has decided to go above and beyond the odds to follow his dreams and aspirations to live out his dreams no matter the distance from the norm. I asked Brandon what was the most difficult part of him following his dreams and he said, "It was leaving his mother, Ne Ne Hollie Jones, siblings and dog."

 Pictured above is Brandon Johnson, Drummer and Artist Kelly Price.

Brandon proudly accepted the position as the new drummer for "Kelly Price" thanks goes all to God ! #Favor

 

As difficult as it was for this talented drummer, Brandon Johnson, deciding to walk out on faith after utilizing everything that he has learned in Minneapolis, MN growing up in church to move to Los Angeles to pursue his dreams and to educate himself further in his skill. Not asking for a hand out nor a door to be open, Brandon positioned himself to be blessed. Being in the right place at the right time and with the right skill set needed to be elevated was key. So many desire to be blessed and to have supernatural doors to be open but don't want to put in the work. Faith without works is dead and this principle has been taught to him since he was born.

Believing in your dreams won't always be easy yet the possibility is always there IF you decide to put God first. Coming from a strong spiritual and natural family, Brandon has always overcome the odds of society to walk out of the plan that God has set for him. Trusting God makes things work out for your good and for His Glory.

A few weeks back Bishop T.D. Jakes had a sermon at the Woman Thou Art Loose conference entitled the P.E.C.K.ing Orders. The key points were to Positioning, Exposure, Courage, and Knowledge. Knowing that this conference was just for women the message remains the same for men as well; I was reminded of this very sermon when I saw the accomplishments of Brandon. He did what was necessary to get into the correct P.E.C.K.ing Order to receive what God had for him.

When you get there (where ever God calls you to go in your purpose and calling) the provision will be made step by step by step. Brandon is a living witness to this opportunity and I thank God that I could be a part of his blessing. Honoring him is my pleasure because he has shown us all that no matter the obstacle that comes up during the task given it is critical to trust God. Throughout the process, things can't always be easy because the outcome won't be appreciated. Continue to work the plan that God has set for you and embrace the process. Just as Brandon has decided to increase his knowledge of his skill, playing the drums, his purpose is far greater than that in life. He has solicited the help of coaches and instructors that have paved the way in the journey of success. Although Brandon has his own path to take, he realizes there is nothing wrong with getting help along the way.

I recommend you doing the same.

For more information about getting the assistance you need to follow your dreams and create the reality please feel free to contact me at www.latraceycopeland.com or comment below. Thank you so much and continue to be blessed on purpose.
