GOALS – ACHIEVABLE, ATTAINABLE!!!
Over the past two years, I have been coming across a lot of articles and writings about putting your goals in writing. Some say to write down your goals and the steps to be taken to achieve your goals. Others say to just write them down and don’t worry about how you are going to achieve them but just keep reviewing your goals and “you will become more conscious to what you want to achieve and you will take ACTION.” Then there are the ones who say to write down your five year goals, one year goals, six month goals and three month goals. Monthly goals, weekly goals and daily goals.
Well I’ve done them all. The five/four year goals, yearly goals, six month and three month goals and monthly goals. And I try to review my list (s) of goals/desires/wishes every week.
Out of the 30 goals that I wanted to achieve and/or do for the year 2009, so far I have only reached 5!!! I’ve starting losing weight, exercising 3-5 times per week, eating healthier, get togethers with friends, and increased my volunteering. Here are the 25 I have yet to reach:
7 night 8 day vacation @ Walt Disney World at the Swan Hotel
a shopping tour to Italy in November 2009
Operating LKG Designs Inc (my jewelry design firm) successfully
Become debt-free!!!
Increase savings account, house fund and fun fund
Lunch or dinner at Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill restaurant
3 spa days
lunch or dinner at the Legal Seafood restaurant
attend social/business networking meetups
explore NYC- Soho, Harlem, Greenwich Village
a Movado watch – Esperanza style
a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes
a trip to Seattle to visit family
a black EPI leather Louis Vuitton Alma handbag
Monthly breakfast. Lunch and/or dinner with my Mommy
Get togethers with certain family and family acquaintances
A ferry ride to Fire Island
A trip on the Circle Line around Manhattan and on the Beast jetboat around Manhattan
Have my hair done every four weeks
Have manicure/pedicure every two weeks
A trip to Charlotte, NC
A gemology course
A beading course
To see The Lion King on Broadway
In addition, I have yet to find a fulltime position as a Personal Assistant/Concierge at my desired salary with bonus and benefits!!!
I started getting frustrated and disappointed that I have only reached five of these goals and because the ones that I wanted to happen at a certain time didn’t happen. Then I realized that the year is not over yet and that they can still happen. I have approximately two and a half months left. With God All Things Are Possible!!!

The information in this blog post is taken from a handout that I received from a close family friend and a Sister in Christ!!! This will be the first of seven posts on this topic. God bless!!!
WHO I AM IN CHRIST
First Thessalonians 5:23 states that we are spirit, soul, and body. Normally, we feed the body three meals a day. The soul is educated and fed emotionally. This exercise is designed to nourish the spirit, that part of us in which God dwells. Study the following scriptures together and individually to discover who you are in Christ.
I am now God’s child ……………………………….......1 John 3:2
I am born of the incorruptible seed of God’s Word ……1 Peter 1:23
I am loved by Christ …………………………………………Revelation 1:5
I am forgiven all my sins ……………………………………Ephesians 1:7
I am justified from all things ………………………………………Acts 13:39
I am the righteousness of God ……………………………… Corinthians 5:21
I am free from all condemnation ……………………...……Romans 8:1
I can forget the past …………………………………………Philippians 3:13
Finally my brethen, Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Eph. 6:10
God bless!

BECOME YOUR DREAM!!!!!!!
BECOME YOUR DREAM!!! Those were the words painted in colorful paint on the wall of a school that I passed by, to and from my volunteer work at Hale House on 122nd St. in Harlem. At first, I didn’t notice these words of inspiration for a while. It took a few months before I noticed them and when I did it was like..hmmm?!?! They finally sunk into my mind, heart, and soul and they started to become an encouragement to me to pursue my dream!!!
BECOME YOUR DREAM!!!
What is my dream???
My dream is to own and successfully and profitably operate my own jewelry design firm. It has actually originated as I have incorporated it, designed several collections (with several in my mind), told quite a few people about it and speaking it. Praise Jesus!
This dream metamorphosized from fashion designing to jewelry design a few years ago as I was home waiting to go back to work after 9/11.
From seventh grade, I knew that I wanted to own my own design business and had my sights set on it. But I became discouraged a few years later after talking about it with someone and let that dream die. But Thank God for my mother! Every year she has always asked me about my designs, what am I going to do with them and that I should pursue having them created. This keep designing in the forefront of my mind, as I always was designing in my head, going to fabric shops, buying patterns, scouring fashion magazines.
But one evening, after several weeks home after 9/11 and watching the jewelry segments on ShopNBC, I picked up a pencil and notebook and started to design jewelry. God had resurrected my dream of designing but instead of clothing, it was jewelry. I put it aside for a few years, but in 2003, God stoked the flame in my heart for my own business and I started to pray, research and formulate my jewelry design business. It wasn’t until a year or so ago that I realized that God had brought me full circle to my passion, MINERALS, which came about on a school trip to the Natural Museum of History. Observing the minerals in the displays ignited this passion for Minerals, which had died down for years, but came back full force within the last few years.
Now I am moving forward with this passion, perseverance, faith, determination and willingness, to see my dream become a reality.
LKG Designs Inc. will come to pass/is coming to pass, will be extremely successful, have good success (Joshua 1:8) and live!!! In the Mighty Name of the Lord Jesus Christ! God My Savior!!!
