Monday Motivation - "Click Refresh..."

Monday Motivation - "Click Refresh..."
Greetings!

One of my favorite functions on the computer is the refresh button.  According to Google, the refresh button allows a static page to update information that has been changed.  As Winter has folded into Spring and March gives way to April it's due time to click the refresh button on our lives. 

Think about the things that happen when you click the refresh button on the computer...

The current page will reload and the browser will look for an updated version of the page...

New things appear and old things are gone.  Sometimes we get in such a stagnant place in our lives, that we only see that static page. We only see what is in front of us as it is, even if it's not the correct or most up to date information.  Let's take a long term relationship for example.

You met your mate in high school or college and they were good looking, charming, popular and had all of the potential in the world.  Fast forward ten or twenty years.  You are still looking at what they were, when in reality, that potential was never realized and they are still living in and on their past fame and acclaim.  Do you want to see who you are really with and whether the two of you are on one accord?  Click refresh...

Sometimes images don't load until you click the refresh button...

Have you ever gotten to a page that should be full of colorful images, but all you see are empty spaces and red X's?  Well, when you click refresh, all of the images become visible and show clearly and vibrantly.   Let's liken this to our outlook, perception and mental health.  When you are depressed or caught up in that stinking thinking you step outside and you see trash, graffiti, dirt, bums, and litter.

When you change your mindset and mood to a more positive one, you see a beautiful clear blue sky, a bright shining sun, and opportunity to help or minister to a person in need, and a city that despite the odds, remains resilient and has a plethora of hidden gems. Do you want to see these wondrous things? Click Refresh...

Sometimes you can't transmit information properly until you click refresh...

 Have you ever been trying to send an email or a tweet and no matter how many times you hit the send button, it just won't go through? 

Sometimes when we're under stress or duress it directly affects our ability to communicate effectively.  How many times have you been having a bad day, or someone in particular got under your skin, then you go and speak to the next person you encounter in an unkind way?

Sadly, often times it's the people that we love the most that get the negative talk, complaints and argumentative dialogue.  We need to dump that old information or situation that upset us, take a deep breath and treat every present and future situation as a new one.  Do you want to communicate with kindness and love no matter what? Click refresh...

Do you feel that it's time for a positive change in your life?

Taste My Soul by Monica Marie Jones
I'm so excited to announce that the Taste My Soul Audio Book/Spoken Word CD is now available for download on several sites including iTunes!  Download your favorite poem, or the entire album.  The actual CD will be coming soon and stay tuned for details about the Official Taste My Soul Listening Party!

TASTE MY SOUL is set up as a full, five course meal because it satisfies all of the senses. Once you open the book you will dip your sensory spoon into a savory soup filled with poetry, sprinkled with a pinch of prose and accompanied by a side dish of imagery that will take you on a mental expedition into the depths of the author's soul.

As always I want to thank all of my readers and supporters. 

This week I want to send a special thank you to Venus Mason-Thues of E3 Publications. They organized and produced an amazing event, The 2nd Annual Seminar for Aspiring Christian Writers at Greater Grace Temple in Detroit. I had the privilege of not only presenting, but also being spiritually and professionally fed by amazing speakers including Pam Perry, Jillian Blackwell, Sylvia Hubbard, Jackie Moore and Kimberly Brooks.

I want to thank all of these wonderful ladies for being an inspiration and a powerful force in the literary community.

I also want to welcome all of my new subscribers this week! Thank you!

Now...if you like what you read in my newsletters every week, please forward it to a friend using the Forward link below.

Walking In You Purpose Saves Lives
We were all placed on this earth for a purpose. Unfortunately many of us have no clue what that purpose is. Out of the small number of people that do know what it is, fewer still are actually walking in their purpose. I was inspired to contemplate these concepts when I heard a wise man say something to this effect,

"Our purpose really isn't about us at all. It is about all of the other people that are supposed to be blessed by our gift."

He then went on to say something so powerful that I don't even think he realized the impact of what he said until he witnessed the explosive reaction of those that were listening. He said,

"Someone died yesterday because I wasn't doing what I know I was supposed to be doing last week."
