BLACK GIRLS ROCK EVENING MISSION:
Believe In Yourself Fearlessly

I was focused and ready to take it all in during the time of 8:00 pm-10:00 pm PST , There was no way I wanted to be disturb. So I made sure of it by posting to all my twitter followers: Just finish a GRT8 dinner now getting ready 2 watch @BLACKGIRLSROCK on @BET I'll be N the zone so friends this is said N LOVE #DONOTDISTURB. It took everything in me not to twit all the motivational messages during that two hour time frame from both Host, Presenters and Honorees not to mentioned the entertainment by a host of Fabulous Women sounding off Anthem Songs just for "US" Women., while supported by an all girl band. A message behind the words, it was most definitely powerful.


"HISTORY"
As I sit back & watched intensely BGR honoree & celebrate many great women. You couldn't help but be inspired by the words of various artist. If you watched the show and truly listen to each & ever word you were inspired & ready to make a change in your future or give of your time to make a difference to someone less fortunate. You succeed by remembering those who paved the way to make each day a little easier for us. It's key to have supportive people to hold you up, sho should you fall they will give you the encouragement to let no one steal your light for Greatness. What may seem impossible is just a bitter vitamin, you know you must take it to stay on the path to greatness. So every time you feel discouraged say to yourself "I CAN ROCK THIS".

"GET FOCUSED"
If you're trying to accomplish a passion, a dream, a destiny. Re-evaluate your inner circle & clean house of any toxins that are contaminating what just might be holding you back. Value your "WORTH" believe in yourself & "FOCUSED" for those who don't have your back let them stay in your "BLINDSPOT". For your direction is navigated by a higher power.


"MANY THANKS"
It doesn't take alot to get me inspired, because I'm already a believer in all things great. As I watch the show & took in so much wisdom of all facets of life from extraordinary, phenomenal women. One thing I realized is ; Dreams are more than a Vision. It's a detailed thought provided by God transforming the direction to you to take lead & move forward in life. No one knows your desires & dreams more than him. Listen, take his direction & soar my Beautiful Black Sister. I want to humbly thank all the women who have paved the way & made it alot easier for me to be the confidant, empowered women I am today. I believe in Me, I believe there are greater things in store for my future & I"m embracing the vanilla black girl in me to continue rocking it 110%.

I ROCK for many reasons, but the one I live by is : Living everyday like a FABULOUS Party~not just through living, but loving "LIFE", loving "ME" and most importantly loving "GOD".
