"The Campaign To Take Back America" started with you taking back your own life. No it wasn't about taking back America from the Government, Corporations, Republicans, etc. or Stopping the War but it was about you becoming in control of your own life again.
The weekly 90 day campaign included a 13 week lesson/action plan to help you take control of your own life.
I hope you were able to really gain some insight on what you can do to take control of your own life.
You can always go back - read and study the weekly lesson/action plans at
and make these positive changes in your life.
The campaign started on my birthday on October 6, 2015 and is ending today on Dec. 29, 2015 so that I can go into the New Year with my other new projects such as
Good luck everyone...
This week's action plan:
1. Set New Year goals.
Goal Setting for 2016
Dec. 29, 2015
Hello All and Happy New Year:
My weekly e-newsletters for my 90 day "
Campaign To Take Back America
" have been keeping me pretty busy.
As you go back and read these e-newsletters at
www.CathyHarrisSpeaks.com
, you will see they are packed with timely and relevant information on how to move forward.
It's time to refocus your energy on what really matters in your life. By the time Christmas rolled around, you should have already had a list of New Year's Resolutions written down so you would be ready to spring into action starting on Jan. 1.
When it comes to making New Year's Resolutions make sure they are reachable goals. Goals are what's going to motivate you into action and if you don't have any goals, then basically you are just drifting through life.
As an Empowerment Speaker, I have gotten really good at setting goals. I set goals not just during holidays, especially New Years, but I set weekly, monthly, and yearly goals...throughout the year.
On Sunday I can tell you what my entire week looks like -- from which day I will buy groceries -- which days I will exercise - to which events I will attend. This type of planning keeps down any unnecessary stress in my life.
If a friend or acquaintance want me to attend an event that is not on my schedule/calendar, I usually say NO because, unlike others, I don't have the 'need to please' so you have to learn how to tell people NO.
If you are a business owner, you do need to be around other business owners. The person that you will become depends on the top people in your circle, so New Years is a great time to reevaluate what type of value the people in your circle is bringing into your life.
Are they naysayers? What about doom and gloom negative people? You can see them coming a mile away. Are they family members?
You can't get rid of negative family members but you can distance yourself away from them by finding a spot in your home or another place where you can go and seriously think about the direction your life is headed in.
It's time to cut the naysayers loose so that you can move on and build the type of life that you can truly love.
Set goals but don't overwhelm yourself with too many goals. It's six weeks before Valentine's Day and despite wanting to release a new book before Valentine's Day -- "Love After 50" and becoming a "love coach," sometimes you just have to take things off your schedule - so again do not overwhelm yourself with unreachable goals.
Remember setting goals will motivate you to take action in your life, so set weekly goals along with 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 3 year goals around these three areas: 1) health, 2) family/financial, and 3) career/business.
Remember it takes 3 to 4 weeks to form new habits so think about the things you need to change in your life and set realistic and reachable goals.

National Non-GMO Health Movement
Resolutions
Some top New Year goals include:
1.
Detoxify for the New Year:
Start the New Year off with a detoxification program for you and your family. You can do a detox by fasting; engaging in a complete body cleanse for your colon, liver, and kidneys; do a colonic with a naturopathic or holistic healer, etc. Remember 80% of overweight kids will become overweight adults so think about helping them engage in a safe detoxification program. Find out how in my health book
"How To Take Control of Your Own Life: A Self-Help Guide to Becoming Healthier Over the Next 30 Days (Series 3)"
at www.AngelsPress.com.
2.
Go Organic: Eat fresh, raw and organic foods blended, juiced or steamed only especially green foods. The benefits of eating organic foods are these foods don't contain hormones, antibodies, pesticides, steroids, etc. Organic foods cost a little more and will spoil quicker but in the long-run these foods will keep down doctor's visits. Remember 90% of all illnesses and diseases are 'diet-related'.
3. Read Food Labels:
Until you can transition to fresh, raw, and organic foods read food labels and cut out all these ingredients: 1) Sugar, 2) High Fructose Corn Syrup, 3) Saturated
Fats, 4) Transfat, 5) Red and Yellow Dye, and 6) MSG.
4. Give Up GMOs:
Over 90% of all foods in neighborhood grocery stores contains Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) (also referred to as Genetically Engineered, Genetically Altered, Frankenfoods), which causes food allergies which results in depression and other illnesses. So only buy organic foods from farmer's markets, health and whole food stores, etc. or grow your foods your own self. Stay updated on GMOs by reading our
National Non-GMO Health Movement Blog or subscribe to my group on facebook "
National Non-GMO Health Movement."
5.
Drink More Water:
Commit to drinking more water and drink the right type of water. Only drink "alkaline water" from health or wholefood stores. If you can't obtain this type of water then only drink "distilled" or "pure/purified" water.
6.
Stop Eating Meat: Meat is closely associated with parasites. Parasites comes from 'undercooked' beef or pork. Over 80% of Americans have parasites. Parasites can turn into cancer! Find out how to get rid of parasites in my health book
"How To Take Control of Your Own Life: A Self-Help Guide to Becoming Healthier Over the Next 30 Days" at
www.AngelsPress.com.
7. Become a Vegetarian:
Many people believe vegetarians do not get enough protein but two of the largest animals in the world, gorillas and elephants, are plant-eaters so that's a myth. You don't need meat to survive or stay healthy.
8. Give Up Canned Foods:
Canned foods contains BPA and too much sodium, which is bad for you so transition from canned foods to fresh, organic, raw foods. The only time you should eat canned foods is during a natural disaster.
9.
Set Short Range and Long Range Goals:
Remember setting goals will motivate you to take action in your life so set weekly goals along with 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 3 year goals around these three (3) areas: 1) health, 2) family/financial, and 3) career/business. Remember it takes 3 to 4 weeks to form new habits so think about the things you need to change in your life and set realistic and reachable goals.
10. Create a Vision Board:
Cut and paste pictures and quotes so that you can stay motivated when setting short range and long range goals. Make more than one vision board and place them where you can view them every day.
11.
Meditate Daily:
It's important to meditate daily for at least 15 or 30 minutes or more. You can do this at work by taking lunch and sitting in your car; in bed or somewhere else in your home. You can listen to soft music while you allow your body to fully relax. Remember before you can make anything happen in your life, you have to see or visualize it first -- so mediate daily.
12.
Get Rid of Toxic People:
Get rid of toxic, destructive and negative people in your life -- the naysayers, doom and gloom people, the dreambusters, etc. They are everywhere and even in your family. You can't really get rid of family members but you can distance yourself away from them.
14. Start Your Own Business:
Small business ownership is the backbone of this country. Business ownership is the key to true generational wealth. Look at the things that you are really passionate about and use your talents and passion to create a thriving business. Everyone has some type of talent or passion which is of value to others. You can conduct research for a business at Libraries, Bookstores, on Google.com, Yahoo.com, and YouTube.com, with business groups including Chambers of Commerce, Small Business Administration (SBA.gov), SCORE.org, etc. Read more in the business book
"How To Take Control of Your Own Life: A Self-Help Guide to Starting Your Own Business."
Also read our "
Business Blog
."
15. Don't Get Involved with Pyramid Schemes:
Stay away from websites or people in the community trying to recruit you for Network or Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) aka "Pyramid Schemes" (Noni-juice, Melaleuca, Primerica, Pre-paid legal, YTB travel, Ameriplan, ACN, Quixtar, Body Shapers, etc.). If you have time to get involved with these types of 'unethical' schemes, then you have time to start and build your own business by using your own talents and passions.
16. Form Business Alliances/Strategic Partnerships/Co-Ops:
To move your business to the next level form business alliances, strategic partnerships or business co-ops with other "ethical" businesses. It's important to be a part of business networks so that you can grow your business by brainstorming with other businesses, especially legal, financial and marketing experts so seek these individuals out today. Every business owner should also have their own "ethical" business network that they can refer others to.
17.
Stop Looking at So Much T.V. and Read More Books:
Stop listening to mainstream media and even build your own network. It's estimated that many families watch at least 6 to 7 hours of television daily. Could this be why the obesity rate is at an epidemic level? Are we dumbing down our families? If you watch T.V. -- at least watch educational shows such as Animal Channel, Discovery Channel, Financial Shows, etc. Join our new "
Let's Read Campaign
" and read our line of motivational 'easy-to-read' empowerment books at
www.AngelsPress.com
. All books can be read by 12 year olds and above.
18.
Make a "TO DO" List: Make a "TO DO" list that you can print out and keep on a bulletin board in your work area at home, on a refrigerator or on some type of computer or mobile gadget. The goal is to place it somewhere where you will see it everyday so that you can stay focused on making your dreams come true.
19. Get The People You Love on the Information Highway:
Are you sick of those around you being uninformed on issues relevant to them? Information is 'King' and 'Knowledge is Power' so help those that you love get on the information highway. Subscribe your family members, friends, neighbors and colleagues to our mailing list at
www.CathyHarrisSpeaks.com
or
20. Support the Black Press:
Read black community newspapers and support them by subscribing, volunteering, and sending donations. Also support black radio and t.v. including internet radio. Listen to "

New Year - New You
The Truth About Your Food
and Exercising
by CathyHarrisSpeaks.com,
Non-GMO Health and Wellness Coach
Dec. 29, 2015
My new health motto for 2016 is "It's Time To Get Lean in 2016."
The bottomline is, if you want to spend 2016 feeling and looking absolutely great then you need to figure out what is happening with the food supply system in this country.
You can do that by joining one of the National Non-GMO Health Movements in this country. It'
s not enough to sit at home and be dumbfounded when things are happening around you but you need to turn your home into a learning center and become a reader because "Readers Are Leaders."
Human beings are some of the selfish people in the world so you need to share information. You can do this by forming your own positive communities using the meetup.com groups.
Foods affects every area of your life -- from your mood, to your behavior, to your happiness and your entire quality of life.
If you don't gain access to good food this year then basically you are setting yourself and your family up for failure to live another year feeling weak, sluggish and run-down as you move closer to living a 'diseased' lifestyle.
People are always telling me that I seem so positive, energetic and full of vitality so I want to share my secrets with you. I wasn't always like this but I had to work on myself - mind, body and soul.
At age 59, I only eat foods for my blood type so find out your blood type and buy the book "Eat Right 4 Your Type" if you truly want to live an energetic and positive life.
As a Blood Type B, I thrive on seafood and green foods so that's what I mostly eat, however, I can't eat all seafoods and I can't eat all green foods.
I rarely turn on the stove so that I can eat my foods in as natural forms as possible so I -- steam, juice or blend -- the majority of my foods.
If you notice I did not put down to exercise as a New Year's Resolution on the list because along with eating good food and getting plenty of rest, exercising should be a part of your daily routine.
The more fit you are, the longer you are likely to live. Being fit usually means you engage in some type of "cardio" or "cardiovascular" exercise.
Cardiovascular exercises are any type of exercise that gets your heart rate up and keep it up for at least 20 to 30 minutes or more.
Everyone should be engaged in some type of cardiovascular exercise (fast or power walking, running, aerobics, swimming, bicycling/spinning, etc.) at least 3, 4 or 5 days a week for 30 to 45 minutes (or more).
Remember if you exercise in the morning, it speeds up your metabolism more than it would if you exercise later in the day.
If you suffer from allergies, be careful exercising outside first thing in the morning, especially during allergy season.
Working out is hard for a lot of people but it's important to stay active. At age 59, I have always believed in staying active.
This year I engaged in a different assortment of activities in order to find out what I truly love to do. Each workout have left me with some really great results.
At the beginning of the year, I cleared out a space in my kitchen to exercise. This was the first time I had engaged in a home workout like this.
I had everything I needed in this space - a mat, DVDs, hand weights from 1 to 10 pounds, trampoline, Zumba stepper and a laptop dedicated specifically for my workout routines.
I started the New Year off by jumping up and down several times a week on a trampoline; worked out with Personal Trainer Shuan T with the T-25.com DVD worksouts; Julian Michaels DVD worksouts; Zumba.com DVD workouts and now at 59 years old, I am hooked on www.CampGladiator.com outdoor group fitness workouts...working out alongside of 20 year olds.
I believe meditation and yoga should be a part of your daily routine. These are definitely exercises for the brain and "when your brain works right, you work right."
It's definitely important to eat good 'brain foods' (Omega 3s, green foods, antioxidants, etc. in as natural forms as possible - juiced, steamed or blended) and take 'brain supplements' (Omega 3 Fish Oil and Flaxseed Oil, Vitamin D3, Ginkgo Biloba, Vitamin C & E - which are antioxidant vitamins that helps your cells grow) -- which I do everyday.
For many a Multi-Vitamin for Men and a Multi-Vitamin for Women will be all you need, especially if they eat a natural organic diet.
Be careful taking Vitamin E and Ginkgo Biloba because they are both blood thinners and you should never take these with other medications, especially over-the-counter or prescribed medications.
Yoga helps with flexibility, especially as you age.
Did you know because of the way you breathe when you engage in yoga and jumping up and down on a trampoline, you decrease your chances of coming down with cancer?
Parents should think about buying their children a trampoline because for most kids under age 15, cancer is the largest killer because of their weak and undeveloped immune systems.
Don't forget that cancer is caused by toxic foods and living in toxic environments -- so eat good food and clean up your environment by using natural products in your home and on your body.
As I engaged in the above exercise routines this year, I still used my GoldsGym.com and
I use my LAFitness.com gym membership when I travel as a Speaker because they are everywhere. When I first arrived in Austin, 18 months ago, there was no LAFitness.com gyms in my area so I had to join GoldsGym.com.
Now there is a gym 20 minutes from my home but I have chosen to keep both memberships. My GoldsGym.com has a track so I love gyms with tracks so I can walk and listen to my audiobooks on www.audible.com.
Organ failure (heart attacks, liver and kidney disease, etc.) is the #1 reason that people die in this country and prescription overdose is #2.
Sitting in 'dry saunas' in gyms helps you sweat out toxins, which can render your organs dysfunctional.
But did you also know that sitting in dry saunas will also help you decrease your chances of coming down with cancer because dry saunas "repairs" your cells? Cancer is the 2nd largest killer in the U.S. and is nothing but the "mutation" of cells.
I also walked and jogged in a local park while listening to my favorite books as audiobooks -- but after the park was flooded out for the 2nd time in 2 years, I looked for an alternative and eventually found the CampGladiator.com outdoor group fitness workouts.
Engaging in the same routines everyday can become boring, so it's great to have a lot of different choices for working out.
When I first started out with CampGladiator.com fitness group workouts, I could barely walk for two weeks but my mate, who works out in Gold's Gym, kept encouraging me to keep going and that eventually my body would get use to it.
Well it took at least 6 weeks for my body to get use to the workouts but many people stop short of their goals -- so don't get discouraged.
I am happy to announce that this week is my 9th week with CampGladiator.com and we have yet to do the same exercises...so again I am loving it and the variety of exercises that we engage in.
Despite many trainers being off for the holidays, our trainer showed up for several 'unscheduled' workouts because of his dedication to the group.
My main camp meets on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 5:45 a.m. for just one (1) hour but I found another camp for Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:45 a.m. with another trainer, a female, so they have camps all over and in other states.
Face it trying to exercise on your own is hard so sometimes you need these fitness trainers to push you but you do want to be careful working out with fitness trainers, especially in gyms.
Many of these trainers are there simply for their paychecks so many are "underqualified" and "untrained" - pretending to know what they are doing. You know your limits so stick to them.
B
efore starting any type of regular exercise program, see your doctor first to make sure your body can take working out.
Make sure you warm up before exercising. Your warm-up is just as important as your workout, however, with busy schedules, people forget to stretch and heat up their bodies. Many just settle for a few toe-touches, which can leave them in pain or injured.
A good warm-up will provide increased flexibility and will activate the necessary muscles for training and competition. It also speeds up your blood flow and causes your core temperature to rise, which will prepare you to train at your highest levels.
Good preparation makes for a great workout.
Remember to always start off slow (start off walking) then work yourself up over the next few weeks and months to a more intense form of working out, if and only if, you are in shape for that type of workout.
If you have been sedentary for some time, try exercising in water. Water aerobics are excellent for those who are overweight or who find walking or running difficult.
Some easy ways to add physical activity to your daily routine include:
- Park the car farther away from your destination.
- Get on or off the bus several blocks away.
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator.
- Take fitness breaks instead of cigarette or coffee breaks. Walk, stretch or do some office exercises.
- Perform gardening, yard work, heavy house cleaning, or home-repair activities.
- Exercise while watching TV. For example, use hand weights, a stationary bike or treadmill, stretch, or perform body-weight exercises such as crunches, push-ups and squats.
- Keep a pair of comfortable walking or running shoes in your car and office. You'll be ready for activity wherever you go.
- Walk while doing errands.

Did you know that many people will start the New Year off by joining a gym and by the month of March they will already be out of there?
Don't Go to the Gym...
Do a Detox Program First
Remember your health begins in your colon and if you are not having 2 to 3
EASY bowel movements everyday, you are already moving toward disease. To do this you need to engage in a good detox program for your colon; eat foods with fiber; drink plenty of water; and exercise.
My mate and I are prepared to go into the New Year with tons of energy and vitality because we just finished a
14 day full-body detox program for your colon, liver and kidneys, one of the best detoxes out there that you can read about in my health book,

Cathy's Hottest Selling Book
How To Write A Book: The Complete Guide To Writing and Selling Your Own Paperback and E-book
(Available as e-book, paperback
& audiobook)
PREFACE - NOTE TO THE READER
Are you an aspiring author who would like to know how to publish a book? Well you have come to the right place. Whether it's a paperback or e-book -- this is the ONLY BOOK you will need to make your dream of writing a book come true.
Writing a good book, compared to a bad one, involves one thing - work! No matter how you approach it, a great deal of time and commitment is required. Nevertheless, seeing a book through to completion need not be a grueling task. If you approach the process with a thought-out plan, it can actually be enjoyable.
There are many reasons that people would like to write a book -- what's yours? Defining why you would like to write a book is important on several levels. First, it helps you figure out how dedicated you will be to completing your writing project.
Your writing project can be a "short-term" or a "long-term" project. Many aspiring authors have started writing a book but were side-tracked because of unethical people who have led them down the wrong path in the publishing industry. This book will help you get back on track and make your dream of writing a book come true.
This book contains all the ins and outs of the writing and publishing industry. It was written for anyone who needs to know how the book industry works; Fiction and Nonfiction writers with a book concept who need to know next steps; Writers with finished novel manuscripts who are starting to consider submitting to editors and agents; Writers who are currently submitting their work and not getting the responses they expected or hoped for; and previously published authors who have been out of the game and need a refresher for the digital era.
Writing, as opposed to publishing, requires almost no financial or physical resources. A pen, paper and effort are all that has been required for hundreds of years. Whether you're allowing a traditional publisher to produce your book, or you're striking out on your own to self-publish, becoming an author can be a rewarding experience if you allow it to be. Good luck!

Cathy's Favorite Book
How To Take Control of Your Own Life:
A Self-Help Guide To Becoming Healthier Over the Next 30 Days (Series 3)
Available as E-book and Paperback
INTRODUCTION
Have you been feeling sick, sluggish or run-down? Do you consider yourself to be healthy? What does being healthy really means? Being healthy is simply having the energy and vitality to move forward and enjoy your life.
After conducting extensive research on how to become healthier, I learned that it's a good chance that all the following have contributed to your organs becoming clogged, turning hard and slowing you down -- eating the Standard American Diet (SAD) over the years; Swallowing undigested foods over the years; Eating junk foods over the years; and taking pharmaceuticals (either prescribed or over-the-counter) over the years - just to name a few.
Even though you are not experiencing any pain from your liver, kidneys or other organs, it doesn't mean that they are operating at 100%. The problem is if you don't do something to reverse the damage that has occurred to your organs over the years, they will eventually give out. If one organ gives out, they all will give out because they work as a team -- and you will die!
If you have bad breath, pass gas that has a foul odor or have a bad odor when you defecate, that means you have something inside of you that is dying or in other words, a disease is developing in your body.
Remember diseases cannot exist in a healthy body. The goal is to look at your lifestyle (diet, exercise, sleep patterns, etc.) and your environment (inside environment and outdoor environment) and develop good habits that will give you a disease-free body.
Don't beat yourself up if it takes some time for you to adjust to your new lifestyle. After all you did not pick up all those bad habits overnight.
Remember, it takes 3 to 4 weeks to form new habits. But you have to start today before it's too late! Also remember chances are you are the cause and you will also have to be the cure for what is happening to your body.
This is a self-help guide to renewing your life and getting back the energy and vitality you had years ago and I am living proof that you can do this and more starting within the next 30 days.
This book
"How To Take Control of Your Own Life: A Self-Help Guide to Becoming Healthier Over the Next 30 Days"
is the third book in a
3-part empowerment book series,
which provides powerful information on how to take control of your own life. Good luck!

PREFACE - A NOTE TO THE READER
The world is aging faster than many people realize. We need to remember that from the beginning to end, life was meant to be lived with dignity, using the empathy and compassion that God gives us.
Everyone should greet each day as a gift to be lived, cherished and shared with those they love. You matter because you are you, and you matter until the last moment of your life.
When you are told that someone you love is going to die, it's as if time skips a beat. And once the clock resumes ticking, nothing is ever the same again.
My mom lived until the ripe age of 82 years old and so did her mother. So I guess you can say I am descended from a line of long-livers. However, back then things were simpler and they had access to natural foods and lived in clean environments.
When my mother died, my father had passed on over 20 years earlier. My 8 siblings and I had no idea of the amount of work we needed to do.
Not only did we need to make sure all her affairs were in order but we had to make sure she was comfortable during the last days of her life.
If you have never experienced the pain of losing a loved one, especially an elderly person in your family, then you need to keep reading this book.
Due to a culture that celebrates youth and ignores the elderly, seniors and their families are largely unprepared to deal with the challenges seniors face as they age.
This book is an 'easy-to-read' guide for those who are seeking to become more knowledgeable on how to age gracefully and how to take care of the seniors in their care.
In this country, seniors are treated horribly! Many countries, Hispanic or Latino countries and others, allows seniors to move in with their families as they age.
This not only helps families out with childcare, but it's also a great support system for seniors. However, in this country as seniors age, we look for nursing homes (aka "old folks homes") to drop seniors off at as if these homes are some sought of elephant's graveyard.
This kind of mindset has been the norm in this country for a long time and despite a fallen economy, many are still looking for these homes because they lack the proper knowledge on how to care for their loved ones. Therefore, this book is a 'must-read' for the entire family. Good luck!

Preface - A Note to the Reader
You may not be standing in bread lines, but more and more people are lying awake at night worried about their jobs, their money and their future.
Are you sick of keeping your head above water? Are you sick and tired of counting your pennies? Looking for a way to be free of the constant fear that one day you're going to walk into your office and find a pink slip sitting there waiting for you? Would you like just once to be the one sitting back and making a profit instead of the one worrying about whether this will be the week your business is going to have to close its doors?
Recession is the word that no politician wants to use if he or she is in office. When the economy goes into a recession, companies lay off workers and jobs become scarce. If you are like most people, you have a number of fixed costs that you can't simply stop paying without dire consequences.
While recessions are always tough, careful planning and small sacrifices in good times, can help prepare you for the bad times.
This book will help you come out on top in this recession while you take control of your own life. It is full of 'content-rich' material to help you empower your entire family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues -- while you save your home, stay in the workplace, start your own business, and hold the community accountable. It provides the tools you need to make a profit while you get back into the driver's seat. Good luck!
The best Christmas gift that you can give your child is the "GIFT OF KNOWLEDGE."

Dedication
I will call this book my little big book. It is filled with tons of information to help any average aspiring Mother, Father or youth take a hold of their own lives.
It is dedicated to my two lovely daughters who were the true teachers in my own life. Both of you have made me very, very proud. Keep up the good work - ladies.
Preface - A Note to the Reader
Even though my childhood could be described as underprivileged, I always felt rich because of the upbringing and values instilled in me as a child.
I have had many obstacles in my life but being a mother has never been one of them. I knew from a very early age that I did want to have kids one day so from a very early age, I mentally prepared myself to be in a position to raise smart, talented and responsible children.
I did this simply by just paying attention to what was happening around me. After high school and after joining the U.S. Military, I meet and fell in love with another soldier and we were married.
But our union only lasted 7 years, however, out of our union, we had 2 lovely, adorable and incredible daughters. By the time I met my husband, I knew what I had to do.
First of all I had to put my health first because I realized early on, that a mother's health, whether it's good or bad, can be passed on to her newborn so I have always engaged in a good regular health routine -- in order to give my children the best chance they had of being born healthy.
You should always put your kids first because they are the movie stars in your lives and it's your job to nurture them so that they can grow up into responsible human beings.
As heads of the household and primary caregivers, it's up to many parents today, especially single mothers, to guide and mold their children into successful members of society.
I think I did a brilliant job of that. Both my daughters received Master's Degrees and they also became business owners in their early 20s.
I had to work through many difficulties and issues in my life but I count my blessings every day to see my family, my two daughters, bloom into the type of ethical and strong women that I could be proud of.
I taught my daughters to show gratitude and count their blessings - while they celebrate even the small victories in their lives.
EXCERPT:
Chapter 5: By Age 10 Your Children's Talents Will Come Shining Through
By the time a child reaches 10 years of age, their talents will be shining through. I saw at least 8 different skills and talents in my daughters as they grew up.
However, the things that they were most interested in, is the direction I pushed them into. So from a very early age, I helped my daughters design a life that they could truly love.
My oldest never made below a 95 in science so I knew from the very beginning, that she would end up in the medical field so today she is an occupational therapist.
She was an extrovert and very outgoing, which meant she needed friends around her so she became a cheerleader for 10 years.
My youngest was an introvert and did better by herself. Like me, she had a handful of friends and became a bookworm, which meant studies were very important to her.
Once I bought her a computer at 10 years of age, she would disappear in her room writing for hours and eventually won several writing awards for her poems and short stories. So today she is a Creative Writer and English Instructor/Professor.
Whatever area your children are excelling in, you need to push them into that direction so they can grow up in those careers and be happy.
Both of my daughters, unlike the 80% of undergraduates and graduates today, are still working in their fields.
Because I worked with my daughters early on to really figure out which direction they needed to go in, they both ended up picking the right careers.
Today half of all college students are still relying on their parents for support 2 years after graduating college.
By the time children turn 17 or 18 years old, and is preparing to leave home, if you have not instilled a certain value system and principle in them, then it's already too late.
By the time my daughters turned 18, they were handling many situations on their own. Over the years, when my daughters needed to figure things out, I would tell them to do a PROS and CONS list -- and if they had more pros than cons, then maybe they should do what they were thinking about doing.
So I taught my daughters from very early on how to think logically and figure things out on their own.

PREFACE - A NOTE TO THE READER
Do you know what to do when stopped and questioned by the police - in your car, on the streets or in your home? If you answered "NO" to this question, you need to read this book! Not only should you read this book but you should tell everyone you love and care about to read it also.
Do you trust the police? The goal is to arm yourself with the knowledge and power you need so you don't become just another victim.
Not only should young males be watchful of actions by the police but what about sexual profiling in this country? Women who often drive alone are at just a higher risk of being accosted by the police as others.
Women are just as likely to be profiled as men by local, state and federal law enforcement officers, especially since the creation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS.gov) in 2003.
Many women will no longer stop when directed by a police officer to pull over. Some will call 911 and ask for additional police to come to the scene and refuse to open their windows until backup police arrive.
Cops are known to rape or extort women for sex during highway pullovers. The situation is badly deteriorating. It comes as no surprise that unstable, aggressive bullies gravitate to police work, and quite a few are sexual predators.
Therefore, this book is an action plan for the entire family on what actions to take to protect themselves when driving a car, walking on the streets or in their homes.
As a business owner, community organizer and advocate, I have heard many, many stories about what the police is capable of and what they get away with. The reason for this is that most people do not understand their rights!
Advocates and activists don't trust local police agencies to self-investigate or police themselves. Nor do they trust district attorneys, grand juries, police commissions or local officials to be any more fair and impartial when investigating the police.
Many advocates don't understand that the Justice Department has always had on their books a strong arsenal of civil rights statutes to prosecute abusive police officers.
This office is equipped to dispatch their top civil rights lawyers to handle federal probes. But this will happen only if we demand it!
In the past it has taken major media attention, large scale protests and even a major riot, such as Rodney King LA riot of 1992, before the Justice Department has used its legal weapons.
Where there is evidence of sexual or racial profiling and/or police brutality, the Attorney General must send a strong message to law enforcement agencies that the Justice Department will go after lawbreakers, whether they wear a "mask" or a "badge."
Not only will this book help you stay alive when you encounter a police officer, but if you are violated by the police, it provides an action plan on what steps to take to receive justice. Good luck!
