New Look

I had The Robots over at The Fly Lab http://theflylab.com/ hook up my site so that it would have a more polished, professional look. I'm very passionate about Kim's Keepsake. It's my own special treasure and I want my readers to enjoy it as well. JJ did a wonderful job of capturing exactly what this site is about. Here is his explanation to the header (above):

The hearts are for love (and I incorporated the kissing couple in between the KK), the flowers for growth and beauty, the mountain tops (in the very top and back) and the rivers at the bottom are for perseverance, and the stars are for hope (you know that wishing on a star type of thing).

His description and portrayal came out perfectly! Kim's Keepsake was designed to help you believe in love, faith, strength, and longevity.

I wish all my readers and followers the best in life and hope that you live the life is purposely meant for you! Hope you all enjoy the new site. Feel free to let me know what you think. Also make sure you become a fan of Kim's Keepsake on Facebook and follow us on Twitter (see the link to the right, that's new too ;)) There is much more to come and I appreciate all the support! It means more than you know!!

Thanks again JJ for your genius skill!!!

Building Blocks

One of the first steps I took when I decided to "live on purpose" was getting a life coach. In life, you have to sometimes humble yourself in order to receive the knowledge necessary for change. There are a lot of people with the experience and know-how to get you where you need to be. Shanel has been that humbling blessing. Shanel shared these tips with me a few months back on our first call in session. These are ordered steps for taking control of your life and living it with the purpose that was intended for you!

1. Clarity- Be crystal clear on what you want in order to receive it correctly. Mixed signals only bring chaos.

2. Purpose- Your dreams may not be your purpose. Create your why and then you can figure out your how.
~~~ Purpose adds value to your life, people, and world.

3. Recipe- Ingredients, Preparation, Nourishment, Serving. What is going to work for your life and purpose? What do you need to add? What do you need to take out?

4. Prepare- Prepare your life to receive the things you want. Clean out your life of all things that will hinder what you want. Take inventory on your life!

5. Delete- Burn the rope once you get across: Eliminate every option that allows you to go backwards (this includes people)

6. F.O.C.U.S- Follow On Course Until Success! (Whatever your goal may be, stay on track)

We all must crawl before walk. Remember! You can't start at the top! As much as I'd like for all our dreams to come true as soon as they're dreamed up, it's not possible. You have to put in work to get the life you deserve! Stayed prayed up and increase your faith and gratitude.

Eventually I Won't Fear....

We live in a world of so many "eventually's." Eventually I'm gonna go back to school , eventually I'm gonna commit to you, eventually I'm going to lose these last 10 pounds. Eventually I'm gonna live.. for today.. I myself, have been victim to becoming OK with foreseen thoughts. Assuming that there was time to eventually accomplish these goals, tomorrow.

When I woke up this morning, I said OMG, it's Wednesday! Which meant there was no way of making up for things that I missed out on yesterday and no way to predict what was coming tomorrow. I had been putting off posting to the blog due to insecurities within myself, worrying about what others would think, and complaining of writer's block. All of these excuses for were all stemmed from fear...

We are blessed with gifts. Whether your gift is dance, being a father, writer, or an inspiration to others, your one sole responsiblity is to live on purpose!! Live fearlessly in knowing that what is meant for you is for you! Being complacent is not acceptable. Your life will make room for your gifts, so will you make room to bottle your fear and fulfill your purpose?

I just did. :)
