#59| Love Yourself

February 28, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Today is February 28, and it signals the end of our “Swirling Singles.”

We’ve featured a dazzling array of lovely, accomplished Black women, each of whom is inspirational in her special way.

Though they are all works in progress, each woman realizes her worth and value and is cognizant of the fact you have to love yourself before you can properly love another.

We have more to come in the days, weeks and months ahead – daily inspirational images of singles, couples, teens, babies and scenic destinations from around the world.

We want you to love yourself and be the very best you can be.

You are cordially invited to continue with us on this journey of self-exploration and self-love.

Hang in here with us, won’t you?

We promise you’ll enjoy the trip!

#58| No Competition

February 27, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

So, who’s your best friend?

Is it someone from your childhood, or possibly someone from high school or college?

Did you meet your best friend at church, or on the job?

When you have a true friend, you don’t have to worry about competing with him or her.

There should be no competition, because you want the absolute best for them – and you know they want the same for you.

You can share your hopes and dreams without fear; cheer them on as they reach for success.

There’s no competition, because “they got you” – and you have them.

#57| Sweet Mystery

February 26, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Do any areas of your life remain a mystery?

Is there any part that you reserve and keep to yourself?

I dare say we all do, that within each of us is a realm of mystery waiting to be discovered . . . unlocked . . . explored . . . .

A sweet mystery.

Today, be sure to take some time for you. Time to think, reflect, refocus and center on you.

Sweet, mysterious, beautiful, you.

#54| A Great Big Adventure

February 23, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

All too often our daily routines can sometimes make our lives appear dull and boring.

Yes, we have weekly, daily and monthly activities we must engage in, such as commuting, working, going to school – and doing laundry.

Despite the mundane sameness of those things we must do, there’s no reason we can’t enjoy adventure.

Adventure is all around us, if we only open our eyes and minds. It can be found when we decide to break out of the mold we’ve placed ourselves in, and release ourselves to the sights and sounds around us.

What new route can you take – what new thing can you learn?

What do you need to attempt to do, simply for the pure pleasure of trying it?

Life is a great big adventure – resolve today to experience it to the fullest!

#53| Keep Hope Alive

February 22, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

So, what are you hoping for?

What are you anticipating?

What captivates your sense of expectation?

No matter the current state of situations or circumstances in your life, keep hope alive.

Refuse to give up on your dreams and goals, and instead of allowing setbacks to derail you, use them to fuel a steady movement forward.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.

Proverbs 13:12 NLT
