Hello Bloggers!!!

Its about that time!! Yep you guessed it.  I'm getting a little antsy now that I am back in the swing of things.  I don't want to start any trouble but I am itching to get back out there on my own.  Not solely on my own but just to do some more speaking and teaching engagements.  April brings Spring showers and a lot of old stuff needs to be washed away.  Spring forward and do new things because Spring is HERE!!  See you on the flip side.  Stay tuned in to my Facebook page and my fan page titled UNIQUE IMAGE and the nonprofit CUREQUEST and the FACES of Leukemia campaign.  Oh yea, I haven't forgotten about that!

SO FAR....SO GREAT!!!

Okay Its MARCH and the weather has yet to realize it.

But that is neither here nor there.  Hello Bloggers!!!

Long time no hear from...well I cant wait to announce that Spring Is Almost HERE!!  The weather is not getting the memo but it is.  I have decided in January of this year 2014 will be the year that I am DEBT FREE!  I am making plans, adjustments, sacrifices, and actions to make this happen.

I am pledging this and I am going to make it happen.  This is the good part..the church I go to FWBC is having financial classes in March to help people with the same goal in mind.  You know that aint nobody and nothing but God.  He does want us to be the lenders and not the borrows.  So if you guys can join in with me and say that you will make the necessary adjustments in life to not just save money but help those who don't have as well.  God Bless!

ITS SNOWING!!!

Hello My Blogger Friends,

Its snowing outside!  It is February in Texas and those of you who know about Texas, it just doesnt snow.  So God is really smiling on us right now.  God is so good and fabulous.  He is letting us experience a real winter this year. I had to come to work today because that is just how I am.  Unless the weather is absolutely horrible, I am working.  So, this is a shout out to my boss who is just like me.  She loves to WORK!

GOD's Plan For My Life

I want to thank you all for continuing to read my blog.  Even though I haven't been as steady and constant as I wanted to be with it.  I wanted to be able to write something and inspire you every day or at least every other day. But that is neither hear nor there now.  This is a NEW YEAR and I am pushing a few dreams and visions out in 2014 that I have been sitting on for quite some time.

First, I want to finally complete my documentary of My Journey To Recovery.  I stared a few videos and stopped but I really need to get a good video person or producer to complete this vision with me.

Secondly, I want to complete my book about my life.  My struggles, my victories, my accomplishments, my failures. To inspire and encourage people to go on. To push and strive to whatever you are purposed to do in life.

Thirdly, Continue to write inspiring messages on my blog of course.

Fourth, Complete the task of getting CureQuest, Inc. certified to be a 501C3.  I still want to help people that were diagnosed with blood cancer particularly Leukemia in any way I can.

Fifth and Final - Continue to tour and make inspiring videos of people that have conquered Leukemia and how it has changed their life for the better.

Hey My Fellow Bloggers

Long time...No Hear From!!

I haven't talked to you since July and I bet you are wondering, "What in the world is going on with MonaLisa?"  Well, here we go...

In July, I was unemployed and barely making ends meet.  I quit my job in March and lived off my savings for about 2 months.  In those two months, I wanted to start my business and my nonprofit AT THE SAME TIME!!  I know...I know...ambitious huh??  How about CRAZY?  LOL

I went and got certified for the business I started and its name is Style Architect Image Consulting Firm.  It was looking pretty good.  I was pumped and motivated in getting started.  I thought everything was flowing.  Then in August and September a few deals crashed and burned.  Now that is when your girl starting freaking out!! By this time I am living off friends and family and my bills are steady piling up.  Then I turned to the ONLY one that could help such a prideful and egotistic girl like me....GOD!

I prayed like someone had died or something.  Well, to really look at it.  I had to really DIE and depend on God for my source of income and not me.  I know you are wondering what I'm talking about well let me break it down.  I decided to do what he wants me to do, instead of what I wanted to do.  I wanted to own my own business....God said not yet.  I wanted to start up a nonprofit business, God said not yet.  So I had to surrender to what he wanted for me and that was working a 9 to 5 again!!

So, the moment I really surrendered and gave God full authority on what he wanted to do with me, He blessed me with a 9 to 5 and it pays more than my last endeavor.  But the enemy tried to allow my ego to kick in again and I didnt want to really say how bad I was doing to my new boss but when I did she understood and started me immediately.  So you cant tell me GOD AINT GOOD!!

Are You A Couple??

Hello Friends..

I was playing on the internet this morning.  And you guys know I like social media.  So I was going to all my favorite sites and ended up on facebook.  You probably dont know this but I absolutely love Tamela Mann and David Mann.  Well, they are having a couple's event.  I am not a couple with anyone yet but I decided to give them a promo opportunity to push the event by plugging them here.  So if you and the other arent doing anything...I strongly suggest this event.  Have Fun and tell me all about it.

News You Can Use!!!

Pumped and Ready To Go!!!

Hello Friends and Family

I am so pumped and excited about what is finally getting ready to go down.  CureQuest is about to start its first campaign.  Its Launch will be in the upcoming posts for all you guys to attend.  What campaign you ask?  Well, we have been trying to get all the data and video needed to get this thing going.  We have set out to educate and inform our local and regional communities about the blood cancer disease called Leukemia.  It is so often that cancer campaigns and adds are letting you know of the many types but hardly about the specific disease Leukemia. We have a national foundation called LLS (Leukemia and Lymphoma Society) and a statewide foundation called Leukemia Texas but no regional foundation.  That is where we come in.  This campaign will generate funds to get the foundation CureQuest up and running or off the ground as some would say.  So please give to the cause and help get the word out about this disease.  We want to do some major stuff that will help with awareness and assist those who are already diagnosed and living with the disease. 

 If you have any questions, concerns or comments, please hit me up on facebook at the address:

https://www.facebook.com/pages/FACES-Support-Group-for-Cancer-Suvivors/133413350008374?fref=ts.

Give to the Cause at:

and?or comment on my blog.  And you can even go to the website at www.cancercurequest.com

we have a twitter page and linkedIn page as well.  

Oh yea, we are out there and waiting to hear from you!!

Playing with the video on the computer.....

Me and my son playing with the computer trying to figure some fun things out on video.  Bare with us as we continue to look a little crazy...check us out!!

BIG NEWS!!!

Hello Friends and Family,

I am starting something that will change the fight in the blood cancer war.  First, it all starts with awareness.  You know I am a survivor of Leukemia and I noticed that not a lot of people even know about the disease.  I talked to people all the time and they dont know about it or even if they are at risk of it.  So I made up in my mind that I would educate the world even more about the disease and the affects of what it could cause but better yet how you can overcome it.  You overcome by first knowing the symptoms.  So I want to start a video and social media campaign to help people all over the world that might not know or think that it couldnt happen to them.  Believe or Not Leukemia looks just like you.  Help me in these efforts by supporting the video and social media campaign by giving to the fund.  Here is the link and I look forward to spreading the news to help fight and beat this disease.

The Month of May Means.....HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!

I decided to do something different this time.  I have been reading a few books these past couple of years and they have really inspired me.  So I decided to share two books that are on my MUST HAVE list.  MonaLisa Must Have List: The first book will encourage and challenge you all at the same time. It is an Awesome read and I hope you get one for yourself and any female you may know.  How about getting one for mom? That's even better. The book is called A Woman After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George. You can get it at www.amazon.com or any book store.  I know they would have it at a Christian book store as well. The second book is called Becoming The Woman God Wants Me To Be by Donna Partow . That also would be online at www.amazon.com.  Please get them and let me know what you think.  Thanks and have a blessed night.

One Step At A Time

Hello and Good Morning My Fellow Bloggers,

I am on the grind today.  Getting extra money for the master plan that will take place in about two months.  I told you that I was starting a business, well low and behold, I have two businesses in my belly.  I have a nonprofit and a for profit company.  I am so excited.  The nonprofit of course is my baby CureQuest. The for profit business is called MonaLisa Image Consulting Group.  That is Unique Image on steroids.  I am too excited.  But my focus right now is to make some quick money to pay the bills up for a month and then close some deals that will bring me the big contracts.  Man, when God is for you, he is more than the world against you.  I just need to stay on track.  Stay focused and don't let anything or anyone distract me.  So everyone start praying now if you haven't already.  Peace.

A New Level Beating The New Devils

Well, I really don't know how to start.  I know its been a minute since I have posted anything.  So let me just back up and start over.  Well the last time I posted my Step Father Robert Earl Williams better known as Ole Folks passed away.  So since then my life has turned upside down. In February I had the makeover movement for what I didn't know until now was the last one.  In February we talked about Love.  What is Love and what does it mean to you?  The makeover movement was and always will be a blessing to me.  Even though it is no longer under that title.  We are doing some revamping and reconstruction right now.  So in March, I ended up getting me some new knowledge and understanding spiritually that I later found out saved my life.  March 31 was my son's birthday Menes Osiris Daniels.  He was the one that was killed by a teenage driver back in 2005.  That has been sometime now, but this time it really made me look at some things.  And unannounced to me, his father took it harder than me.  He set in motion an action plan to "rescue" our son that is now 8 years of age from me.  I tell you people I have been through a lot these few months.  But on a higher note.  I decided to start my own business.  It is long over due,

so I am working on getting that started now.  I will keep you posted.

NEW YEAR to break into NEW TERRITORY

OK..so not only are we in the new year, we are in February of the new year.  No one is saying to each other Happy New Year anymore.  We are moving on now.  Getting on with our lives.  We are going about our business.  Well, let me take a moment to say Happy New Year and I hope everyone is working to be a better person on earth this year and for the rest of your lives.  I want to thank God for another year because some people didnt make it. 

My beloved Step Father Robert Earl Williams passed away last month and I have to say it took everyone by surprise.  I guess when anyone dies, it catches you off guard.  But he had gotten ill in December but I guess he never really recovered.  But needless to say, I know he had a good heart.  May God continue to bless our family thru this.  As it says in the Bible, "this too shall pass."

Miss You Ole Folks aka Robert Earl Williams....

ITS ALMOST 2013!!!

I want to be the first one to tell you HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! The New Year starts tomorrow.  Can you believe it?? I am disappointed in just a few things.  I want to start out by kicking myself in the behind about not being able to keep up with the blog they way I should.  I will do better in the next year. I am supper excited about what God has in store for me and the ministry.  God have your way with me.  I know people say, "watch what you pray for" but whatever happens, he is the only one that can help you and save you.  So with that being said, "Lord Use Me" I will be getting back with you guys soon.

January 12th 2013  The MakeOver Movement!!!

Hello Friends!! I just wanted to speak a little more on the MakeOver Movement and how it went.  But before I get to that let me tell you how my Christmas went. Well, I was so excited about Christmas.  I was going to go home to see my mom and family members in Cameron Texas then I was going to stop by Georgetown TX to see my brother and his family and then lastly go to Austin to see my Sister and my niece.  Well, low and behold none of that happened.  My brother's son ended up sick so him and his family didnt have visitors over to protect them from getting sick.  My sister ended up letting her daughter spend Christmas with her father.  I ended up stuck in Dallas Tx because of the snow.  So my mom and family back in Cameron didnt get to see my on Christmas either.  Man, my Christmas surprised the heck out of me but its all good.  I love my family and they know it so prayfully we will have the opportunity to see each other after the New Year.  And speaking of the New Year...yep you guessed it...The MakeOver Movement!!! The movement is January 12th at 9:00am and I am excited and will be praying for the women to come and get delivered.  So I want you guys to continue to keep us in prayer at The Harvest and continue to read and follow.  Love Ya!!

What's Been Going On???

Hello My Fellow Bloggers!!!

I know its been awhile but let me catch you up.  The last time we talked, I was talking about The President of the USA who is of course President Barack Obama!!! I am extremly happy about that.  Now, that is a story within itself.  Thanksgiving rolled around and I spent some time with my brother and his family which was a blessing.  I didnt have any kiddos with me so hangin out by myself has been the norm lately.  Its all good though because a few years ago, I wouldnt havent been able to do it.  I absolutely needed people around me because I didnt know who I was and the little I did know, I didnt like. So the more people around the less I could focus on me.  What a long way God has brought me.  I actually enjoy chillin by myself and going to resturants alone. I love taking myself out on REALLY nice dates.  Places that I can dress up and spend a little money. Smile.  So in December, I have been working on The MakeOver Movement.  This is a movement for Women to make themselves over from the inside out.  I see why God had me alone so I could minister to women for real.  It was December 8th when the Movement gave birth.  There where women from all different backgrounds that were seeking and hungry for change and the movement gave it to them.  We had a panel of 4 women with dynamic testimonies that broke barriers that were generational.  It was a true movement from God.  So I will keep you posted

PRESIDENT OBAMA!!! FOUR MORE YEARS!!!

Wow!! We made it!! I have to admit though, that was a close one, at least for a little while.  The beginning of the race looked a little scary.  I was sitting at my wonderful church Friendship West.  We were having a revival the same night called Bishop 5 + 1.  This revival was just the ice cream on the cake, if you ask me.  Well, getting back to it. During the Bishop's sermon, I was really not trying to hear the updates...it was hard.  But low and behold the race seemed a little tight at first but we pulled it through.  So I know its not a good idea to talk about politics and religion, so to end this conversation I will say,  "And That IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT!"

ELECTION TIME!!

Hello my fellow bloggers!! It is election time again and I dont really want to know who you are voting for just as long as you vote. There has been people in our history that has died for the right to vote so please exercise that right and freedom of speech.  I know everyone in the world wants to know but really, I dont!  JUST VOTE!! It is your business and your poragative not to share your vote with anyone.  This world is not going to go crazy if you do or dont.  The leaders who are chosen are still under the main authority who is GOD.  So my prayers is that whoever is elected prays often.  This world is not getting better, its actually getting worse.  So, God please bless not just America but the whole world.  Amen!
