Inspiration Day 2 | Time To Make A 180?

December 13, 2016 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

 

Inspiration Day 2 | Time To Make A 180?

Sometimes you must do a 360.

Other times, a 180 will do.

Either way, we must know when – and we have to be ready.

‘Tis The Season For Something Special!

December 11, 2016 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

‘Tis The Season For Something Special!

Y’all know we love you, right?

Adrienne, Rachel and I love the members of The Swirl World. Celebrating Black women and the diverse men who love us is a privilege.

Our overarching missing is to see Black women live their best life. For that reason, we’re constantly striving to bring you content designed to educate, inspire and entertain you.

That’s why we had to come through with something special for the holiday season!

‘Tis The Season For Something Special

The Christmas season brings a dual challenge. We’re participating in the holiday while simultaneously preparing for the New Year. Thus, we often don’t take the much-needed time for personal reflection.

No worries – we’ve got you covered!

Welcome To The 12 Days of Christmas

Here’s a video to tell you more:

(And let me tell you – I really, really, really, really, really, REALLY love y’all, because in this video I’m dealing with the onset of a sinus infection. My nose is red, my eyes are watery, but hey! As the Single Mom Coach Kaywanda Lamb says, “Do it anyway!”)

If it doesn't challenge you it won't change you.

What Keeps You Going?

May 9, 2016 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 3 Comments

What Keeps You Going

So, how do you start your day?

Do you begin with prayer or meditation? Read some excerpts from an inspirational book or a daily devotional?

Do you immediate head to the gym and “get your exercise on?” Drink some coffee, tea or a cold beverage?

Do you have to eat breakfast – or are you inclined to skip it?

What Keeps You Going?

So, after you get your day started, what keeps you going?

Do you view your upcoming week with dread – or anticipation?

If your goal is to maintain your drive and even build your momentum, self-motivation is imperative.

Motivation is what gets you started – Habit is what keeps you going.

Keep going!

 

Today’s featured model is Valencia Campbell, who just successfully completed her first year of law school. She’s well on her way to achieving her dream of becoming a lawyer. Woot!

Inspiration Daily – Day Three

January 3, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

shareasimageBayatiFamilyF

As the holiday season draws to a close, many of us are slowly easing back into our normal routines. If they haven’t already, family members who live in other cities and states will return this weekend.

Though we may draw physically closer during the holidays, we have the wonderful privilege of keeping our family close – and thus always present – in our hearts.

Inspiration Daily – Day 2

January 2, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

shareasimageTSWInspirationDaily2

Welcome to The Swirl World Inspiration Daily – Day Two!

I know New Year’s Day was yesterday, yet I figured we’d get started on the New Year in earnest on Day Two.

We’ve shaken off the glitter and confetti, and some even managed to go back to work today.

The New Year has officially begun, and yesterday was the day we actually started writing our 2015 pages.

What do you plan to write this year?

What will you write today?
