From Hopeless to Hopeful


About a couple of weeks ago, my long time friend called and asked me if I were available to speak at a Career Fair in Juvenile Hall. Without no hesitation, I immediately said "Yes." Finally, the day came for me to make my voice heard to our children about how "Scentsational Soaps" was started as well as how they could start their own business based upon a driven passion from deep within. I was assigned to speak to four classes, each hour. As I spoke to each class, I could see in their eyes that what had seemed like a hopeless situtation soon turned into a dream that could still be fulfilled. Hope was not gone, rather deposited back into their spirits that "it's not where we start, it's where we end."

Many of us, who are on the outside (physically FREE), are still held in bondage. We're fighting with ourselves on issues that may have happened last week, last month or even last year that we still want to HOLD onto. The fight within, is an emotional battle that destroys our motivation to move forward. We become stagnate, depressed, and unsure of who we are, and what we are capable of doing. Release yourself, let GO of old things and start FRESH today! Forgive yourself, and those who you felt, did you wrong. Let it GO, so that others will see you spread your wings and soar like an eagle.

First person to email me with "Contest" in the subject line and their name and address to: scentsational_soaps@yahoo.com will receive our New Spring Scent "Passion" 4oz. body butter. Good Luck!

I'm sure your presence was a blessing to every student in reach of your voice. Each year we also have a career day at the elementary school I work at in Compton, CA. It is truly a fun/informative experience for the students. Thanks for giving back! Your blogs are always so positive and encouraging. Keep them coming the good energy is contagious!
