Proverbs 31 A Virtuous Woman
This is the definition of a "virtuous woman" from Proverbs 31 and goes like this:
“Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar. She ariseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard… She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. She layeth her hands to the spindle… She maketh herself coverings of tapestry… She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant… She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her...”
"A virtuous woman sounds busy doing many, many things, including working for financial gain. This verse helped me feel better about burning the midnight oil now and then to make my own contribution to our family."
I feel the same. I have come to realize that I Can Be So Much More and Do So Much More. I have such a drive to help in our family's financial future. My husband and I work together toward all our endeavors. I put my children first. I prioritize my time and I do all that I can each day and then I do no more.
My Friend Travis Johnson said "Give yourself permissions to rest".
So with that, do all you can do, then give yourself permission to rest.

My Debute Single I'm Free
I wrote it with the help of my big Sister Amy Stepp and my good friend Aaron Bigler. They were a vital part for getting what was in my head onto paper and then into music. It was an amazing experience, I know my song was inspired. It was in my head for six weeks straight, I went to bed thinking about it and woke up thinking about it. I'm so grateful for how smoothly my song came together.
I went to see Bob Proctor in Scottsdale on Aug. 18th, 2007, He really knows his stuff and teaches effortlessly. One of the Quotes he shared
"If you are going to change your life, there are only 3 points to remember
- Do it Immediately
- Do it Flamboyantly
- No Exceptions"
-William James-
Once I heard that quote I made 2 decisions, 1- to write my song, and 2 - to start my business Anchors for Success.
I'm Free has an amazing message that tells about my story. How I used to think, what I learned, and who I am now.
In the song it says:
"Someone came into my life, told me I could change the would around me...Taught me how to change my thinking, Showed me how to change my paradigms, that I can choose my destiny".
The person I'm talking about in the song in my close friend Travis Johnson. He is that "someone" in my life.
He taught me the principles of prosperity and introduced me to The Secret. Travis is amazing and teaches in a way every one can learn.
When you listen to the song think of who your someone is, and thank them.
I'm Free is just the first of many songs to come. Now that I know I can, I am a songwriter.
My friend Aaron told me that it normally takes 1 year to finish a song, we did it in about 4 to 6 weeks. He didn't tell me that untill after we had finished the song. It is amazing the things you can accomplish when you don't know that you can't fail.
This is a question for you that My Friend Travis Asked Me... "If you knew you couldn't fail what would your goals be?"
Write it down DREAM BIG,THERE ARE NO LIMITS!
Bob Proctor Cruise
My Husband and I just got back from the cruise of a lifetime, the Bob Proctor Cruise to the Mexican Riviera. We had a amazing time we got to meet people from all over the world. We created new friendships and found new business opportunities. We met with people from Bob's team that are helping us reach our goals like
Kelly DellaSala and
Paul Martinelle.
We saw amazing speakers like
Bob Proctor,
Linda Proctor,
Mark Victor Hanson(Chicken Soup For the Soul),
Doug Wead,
Steve Siebold,
Micheal Beckwith(From The Secret),
Rickie Beckwith
Mary Morrissey,
Wendy Soderman an incredibly inspiring woman that started her own school in Florida.
My husband and I also got to sit down with Linda Proctor and spend some one on one time with her talking abut her newest business venture, Diamond Tree.
These wonderful people have forever left their mark on my life.
The Cruise was a life changing experience. They had a Kareoke slash American Idol compatition that I entered. The first night it was cut down from 20 to 10, the next time we sang it was cut 10 to 6, then from 6 to 4 and I didn't make it to the fianal four. It was such a blast I had only kareoked 2 times before the cruise and I had never sung on a stage holding a microphone. I was so nervouse. Singing on stage has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl. My Mom never had to look hard to find me. She told me that all she had to do was listen for me, because I sang all the time. Especially after church on Sundays. I would play in the back yard and make up songs about butterflies and frogs and what ever else I could think of. Singing on Stage on the Cruise boat is just the beginning for me. I've always wanted to sing on stage but was too afraid to. I faced my fear and it is only going to get easier and easier. My confidence has sored. People on the boat complimented me non stop. It sure feels great to push past a fear and come out victorious.
