Hi ladies,
This is my initial introduction of my ministry of women’s empowerment. I am just conceiving this baby, so please know that plans are still in the making, but I’m starting here at my foundation with the strongest group of women I am associated with in my life. This all started out as me celebrating my divorce FINALLY!!! But just like the process of my 2013 Nail Cutting Ceremony Video, it became bigger than me and focusing on me just seemed to be vain. So I said, “Why not celebrate my sisters!?! Hell we ALL deserve it. We all have been through and endured a whole lot of shit and it is time for us to
* Call Some Things Out
* Accept Some Things
* Live in the
Moment of That Thing
* Exhale
* See the Blessing in
It
* Praise God For it
* Put the Blame Where it
Belongs
* Let It Go
* Become Born Again
* Celebrate
I am extending an invitation to my sisters to partake in a
season of transformation, transition, and renewal. Each one of you
ladies has begun breaking chains and strong holds in your lives and
your families. If you are here it is for a reason because God has
commanded that it is your season and the time has come for you to
stand in your power.
This is not a “I’m going to find out everybody business”
meeting. Every woman in this group is entitled to her individual level
of respect and privacy. This group was chosen because of my confidence
in each lady's maturity level in knowing we will each do everything in
our power to protect each and every one of our sisters.
Many of you don’t know each other. And I know some concerns may
be why would I allow myself to be “naked” and share the depths of my
soul with people I don’t know? But HELLO!!! Ain’t that perfect!?!
People you don’t know ain’t got no need fo’ yo’ business. ;-) And my
reasons for wanting to empower you are so that you can empower others.
Our stories need to be told, and once you regurgitate; throw up all
that negativity that’s been holding your mind, body, and spirit down,
in bondage, imprisoned, your load becomes light and you’re more open
and receptive to moving in the will of God and ultimately ain’t that
all what we’re trying to do? Yep, and that is why if your name is on
here, I chose you. God chose you.
For the past five years I tell anyone who comes this close to my
realm that at that moment or season in your life it is your
transformation and transition season. You have one of three options to:
* Go Backwards
* Remain Stagnant
* Move Forward
The choice is yours and I cannot make that decision for you and
I will go on either way. But understand, there aren’t many times when
the approach of your season is so evident where someone is telling you
so try to be present in the moment and do not miss your season. My
life is not for me, it is for God and it is for you. Hell I celebrated
my divorce when I got them damn papers. LoL
There will be no judges and no jury, only sisterhood, bonding,
encouragement, empowerment, and love. There are close bonds and close
ties already formed in this group and my purpose is to unite those
bonds into one sisterhood. Individually, we are all powerful women.
Together we are a group of powerful women. Women are the foundation of
our society. If you can empower a woman, you can empower a nation.
Ok, this is enough of a summary I am giving you guys to give you
an idea of the goal I have for us, to simply form a sisterhood. In my
own way through the grace of God I feel I have been able to touch each
one of your ladies. I am here to begin this whole thing but God is
going to move me around and I won’t always be readily available and
accessible. The same may be for some of yous as well. A lot of us in
this group have our closest daily contacts right here. How antsy are
we if we can’t get out BFF, favorite cousin, sister friend, or my
sister. It is my goal to form a sisterhood that will be readily
available to each and every one of us no matter the time, day, or
night. If I can’t call Toco, or Ton Ton (Denise) I can pick up the
phone and call Jen, Stacy, Tracy, or Kris, but want to feel even more
comfortable picking up the phone calling Chee (Peatrice), Von, and
Adrian if nothing else just to vent. And always know that I will
always be checking up on you guys and all of you feel free to reach
out to me anytime.
You will randomly receive correspondences, either info I need,
or simple inspiration. I may also give you little assignments. Never
anything strenuous. But in the meantime I want each of you to become
familiar with the other ladies in the group. What other way to begin
than on Facebook? I want each of you prior to our commencement on
November 1 to once a week choose one of the ladies in the group and
friend them if they are not already on your friends list, introduce
yourselves, and in your own way become familiar with them. I want each
of us to have a certain level of comfort when we come together and
some will be coming a long ways.
In a few weeks you will receive a more formal correspondence,
which will be the RSVP to our first annual event of women empowerment.
There will be more of an explanation of the event along with
information for any funds we need for room and board and we promise to
make it really affordable. Currently we’re looking at no more than $55
per person, but we will know for sure once we've decided where we will
be staying. The tentative date for the event is November 1, 2013.
There is major significance in this date so although we do want to
accommodate everyone because many of yous are working and I am not, it
is not likely that we will change this date. Oh yea, our spot chosen
will be a later disclosed location at Myrtle Beach, SC. There is
significance in the location as well. If the date is a problem and you
already know you won’t be able to attend because of that please let us
know and if too many of us are not able to attend because of the date
we may consider changing it to a date that accommodates all. But we
are really trying to do this prior to our sister Tocacia’s nuptials in
September, 2014. Congratulations Toco!!!!!!! And I really wanted to do
this before going into a new year.
If you have not had the chance please remit to me your preferred
email address and your physical address. Tocacia (Toco) will be your
main contact for information regarding attendance, room and board,
transportation, and other mundane details. I will be accessible up to
a point at which time all correspondences will be directed solely to Tocacia.
I love you all so much and I hope you are all as excited as I am.
Now let’s get to bonding.
And as always,
Peace and Blessings,
Love and
Light,
Your sister in spirit,
Tarra~Mel
