Living Life from the Inside Out by Troy Myree Sr.

Living Life from the Inside Out by Troy Myree Sr., is the story of the author's journey when his life began to spiral out of control financially and personally to now living a life full of joy and peace. It is a story of perseverance and faith.

The situations that he found himself are not unlike what many are dealing with in our current economy today. However, sadly not everyone handles these trials the same.

During that trying time in his life he kept focusing on not what was currently happening but how he wanted his life to become.  When anxiety would try to knock on the door of his psyche, he would repeat over and over an affirmation by Charles Haanel, "I AM Whole, Perfect, Strong, Powerful, Loving, Harmonious and Happy."

He also took this quote by Robert Collier to heart, "The spiritual substance from which all wealth is obtained is never depleted but is with you always and responds to your faith in it and your demands on it."

As he did this his mind began to open to all kinds of opportunities. His vision for helping others experiencing difficulties in their lives became a reality and Serious Encouragement.com An Inspirational Stop on the Information Highway™ was born!

The writer shows us that you have two choices when dealing with difficulties in life; You can either wallow in self pity, continuing down the same path or know that this too shall pass and you can make it to the other side and be a better person for it!

God is a loving God and the author's faith in Him never wavered. How have you handled a difficult time in your life? Did you learn anything about yourself in the process?

"I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position one has reached in life as by the obstacles which one has overcome while trying to succeed." Booker T. Washington

National Girlfriends Day-The Blessings from Social Media

I recently joined a wonderful community called Social Media Girlfriends. Please visit their website, especially if you would like some #divadust! 


All you have to do is enter your name, email address and Twitter ID to claim their badge!  Just place the badge on your blog and join in on the #SMGirlfriends fun!


The song they chose for the introduction on their website is Only You by Joshua Radin. It is so appropriate for their mission.  They are creating connections through Social Media,"So you can feel loved. So you can feel supported. So you can feel connected."  As a member I have felt all of those! 


When I saw this video this morning I thought of Social Media Girlfriends and all they encompass.

Make sure you turn on your volume to watch!

Like the geese in the movie, their Twitter messages are so uplifting.  They carry each of us higher so that we too can soar. 


You may be dealing with either stress, pain, sadness or loss and when you open your account you are flooded with hope and love.


In the movie, Pulling Together 10 Rules for High Performance Teamwork by John J. Murphy it states, "If we share a common direction and a sense of community, we can get where we are going more quickly and easily because we are traveling on the thrust of one another."


If for some reason we fall out of formation, like the geese, the messages from these awesome women help us get back on balance!


Although I have only been a member for a short time, I have witnessed the power of these messages firsthand.  They will celebrate with you when there is a joyous occasion and they will virtually hold your hand during an illness or a loss of a child or a parent.


Today is National Girlfriends Day, who do you know that needs to be uplifted with a little dose of inspiration, love and a sprinkle of #divadust?  



Although I am an affiliate of Simple Truths, by simply watching the video I will not receive any compensation. Please see the Disclosure tab for additional information. Thank you. 

Attitude is Everything by Vicki Hitzges

Today I was Blog Hopping through our great Community VoiceBoks and I stumbled upon this great post on, F.L.A.G and  her post about her Gratitude Journal.  


During life's trials and despite my tears or sorrows, I have tried to find the things that I am grateful for. Doing so almost always gets me out of that slump! 


In the movie below, Attitude is Everything by Vicki Hitzges, (make sure you have the sound on!), it says, "Count your blessings and jot them down".  "Feeling Gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it" by William Arthur Ward

How true is that? How many presents do we have stored away already wrapped?  Get them out and write your Journals or Gratitude Lists, only then can we see the gifts that are already in our lives!


Please join a wonderful community called VoiceBoks~ The Voice of Motherhood! Click the button below and take a peek, you are going to love it!
I am so happy to have joined and met some of these amazing women!






Well got to go, my grand babies and daughter-in-law are here and I am so grateful!  Until next time!
