Hi all,
Today we allocate time for the investment of time and energy in ourselves. Well what do we mean by that?
First off, you can have all the outside help in the world whether you spend a little or a lot but that outside help will mean nothing if you don't first invest in yourself. The old saying goes, "If you don't take yourself seriously, no one else will either ".
Outside help is great--that's what MY business is all about, but you have to remember to give of yourself too. In my company, I work with something we call a WINN chart. Many of my clients have not to this day filled it out or gone over it with me. It is so important that you give yourself goals both long term and short term and follow up. See where you've come, see where you need to go and what you need to HELP you get there. The investment in yourself still has to be one of desire, belief and constant update. If you want to succeed you NEED to do this.
Also remember success comes in many forms. What does that mean to YOU? How do you see yourself successful? These are all things you need to research for yourself about yourself. If you are dedicated and sincere with yourself, this should not be a difficult task. Be sure, though , that you NEED to do these things before anyone else can help you do them.
Til we talk again.

It's a new day .
Hi all,
It's Cinco De Mayo today...did I spell that right?...and we allocate time for a brand new day. I'm in Philly today looking at the beautiful skyline. It's 8:30 am and the sun is shining. I'm here with Michelle of "All Occasions by Michelle" and we are conducting some business for 4 A STAR.
Had the wonderful opportunity last night to meet locations directors and producers at a film workshop at the Prince Theatre here in Philly. It was wonderful to hear them speak about what goes into a film and how important the locations scout and director are. If you love movies, you would have loved hearing them speak. The panel worked on such films as Marley and Me, Invincible and Rocky Balboa just to name a few of the mainstream movies they spoke about.
So today is a new day. Enjoy the sun, open your mind up to something new today . Go out and do ONE thing you have never done before. It will bring a whole new perspective to your life.
I will be posting again nest week to talk about the day of Awareness coming up on May 20th.
Enjoy the day.

Who is on YOUR team?
Well, the sun is shining now and I'm so over the snow!!! Hope it lasts for a little while. It's early March and it looks like it's easier for me to get in here once a month rather than once a week. Imagine that!
So today we allocate time for teamwork!!!
Who is on YOUR team? So what do we mean by team, are we all sports figures now? Well, maybe in a way.... your team is your support team. Who is there that you trust that you are buidling ties with in your business. It is extremely important that you create business relationships with other like minded people. Seek them out. Be the one that initiates the teamwork. As in personal relationships, in life- the give and take is the same. Make sure it's a win win for all parties and build it. Make time for each other-you have to in order to thrive. Learn from each other and be that support system you each need to take you further. You may cultivate a lifelong friendhip too but you will definitely cultivate teamwork, experience and shared interest.

The Days seem to run into each other.....
Good Monday Morning....
Boy, the days seem to run into each other and it just feels like one big long day.....I never seem to wake up to a new day.....it just runs together as one big day....so let's make the best of it as we travel through it and allocate time today for AWARENESS !
Many of you know that I lost both of my parents and my brother-in-law this past year. It was very hard. It's still hard so my heart goes out to those dealing with these kinds of things. So I decided, over a half-sleep listen to a childhood mentor, that I was going to try to make a difference. So I started a non profit organization for Brain Cancer Research! We became official, at least for the first part of it, just a few days ago. It's been so crazy since the thought of it. Found out about 4 friends who have recently been diagnosed with Brain Cancer. Through the internet, I've heard about someone at least every 3rd day.....
On top of all of that, I wanted to find out about the causes in our area. I thought about all the things we fight for. So on May 20th, we will be doing a huge non profit event to just create awareness and have fun at the same time. I'd like to give a shout out to the wonderful organizations already involved in this event.
First there are 2 great women who started Pink Ribbon Gift. They are both cancer survivors and met during chemo....imagine....you can visit their site at www.pinkribbongift.com Then there is Cynthia Walker, who started a scholarship fund for children in the "Arts" field when she lost her daughter to a rare condition that there is still not much of an answer for. You can visit her at www.jan-aischolar.org. We also have the Community Food Bank involved, The Donald L. Perry Foundation, Make a Splash, and Community Quest so far.
This is going to be a fun day. We will have a "shoe" exhibition from the brand new shoe society and even a dollar dance..... So come out and join us on May 20th....you can get details right at my web page at http://www.4astar.com/
Take the time to be aware.......you never know when events will hit YOUR home that you will need others to help you deal with.
Looking forward to chatting again,
Ava Holly Lewis

Ok. Let's get back on track !
Hi all,
Today we allocate time to reflect on our lives. I know it's been some time since I posted. There has just been a lot going on. Maybe the same has happened to you. So let's take time for a moment of thanks. Be thankful and grateful for all that you have no matter how great or how small. Every moment in life is precious. You know the saying, don't put off til tomorrow what you can do today.... or so it goes !!! Grasp your life. Steer it as best you can, and be thankful!
So take a moment. What are you thankful for today? Maybe it's just waking up !!!!!
As we head to the close of a stressful economic year, let's look forward to making the future better for ourselves and for others. If nothing else, go out and perform a random act of kindness today. Buy someone a cup of coffee or pay for their toll on the road....anything..... you will feel so good and put a positive spin on whatever is going on in your life.....
Be safe, be well and we will chat next week.
