Good day to today's segment of Jus Sayn!!!

 

 

"OPEN AND EQUIPPED TO RECEIVE"

By Dionna Ophelia

 

 

 

How many times have you ever entertained the thought of yourself receiving your wildest dream?  Literally imagining the moment that you've deeply hoped for actually unfold.  When I think of that moment happening in my life my thoughts switch gears and instantaneously I'm asking myself, "Are you ready for this?"  I've come to the realization of the importance of being equipped in retaining the blessing especially when recalling stories of million dollar lottery winners hitting it big.....just the break they needed to end up broke!  Isn't that a dream turned nightmare?  Thus, being equipped in knowing you will maintain that in which you're open to receive is crucial.   Surely there are many facets of desires in which we all immensely hope to become our reality.  It could be a break-through in health, finances, relationship, a career or business.  As my great expectancy arrives, plans to be equipped will be in place to receive but more importantly sustain it.   Jus Sayn !!!

FOR ALL THAT IN WHICH YOU HAVE LABORED AND BELIEVE......
BE CONFIDENT IN BEARING FRUIT AS YOU'RE OPEN TO RECEIVE.

Fun Friday 11/2013

It's Friday and welcome to another segment of 'Jus Sayn'.  It's been a great week, kinda busy but good.  I wish you all a safe and enjoyable weekend. :)  Monday is Veterans Day and Jus Sayn will resume Tuesday.


                                                                Girlfriend vacation scenario:


A group of girlfriends are on vacation when they see a 5-story hotel with a sign that reads: "For Women Only". Since they are without their boyfriends and husbands, they decide to go in.
The bouncer, a very attractive guy, explains to them how it works. "We have 5 floors. Go up floor by floor, and once you find what you are looking for, you can stay there. It's easy to decide since each floor has a sign telling you what's inside."
So they start going up and on the first floor the sign reads: "All the men on this floor are short and plain." The friends laugh and without hesitation move on to the next floor.
The sign on the second floor reads: "All the men here are short and handsome."
Still, this isn't good enough, so the friends continue on up.
They reach the third floor and the sign reads: "All the men here are tall and plain." They still want to do better, and so, knowing there are still two floors left, they continued on up.
On the fourth floor, the sign says: "All the men here are tall and handsome. They are rich and perfectly built"
The women get all excited and are going in when they realize that there is still one floor left. Wondering what they are missing, they head on up to the fifth floor. There they find a sign that reads: "There are no men here. This floor was built only to prove that there is no way to please a woman."

"Joy Ride"

It's Thankful Thursday and welcome to the 'Jus Sayn' segment.



Joy Ride

By Dionna Ophelia

 

 

     Have you ever been in a funk then a song came on...."Turn that up, that's my song", you say all hype.  Doesn't it kind of rinse the funk away at least momentarily?  Now imagine cruising with someone while listening to some good music. Periodically glancing at each other enjoying the music, the ride, and the sights feeling the same vibe.  In this season you can catch an eyeful of the trees flaunting some of the most blended colors.

 

     I challenge you to find time to gather some music, music that you like, doesn't matter if it's new school or old school tunes....Just turn on the good music, put the gear in drive and cruise on a relaxing scenic joy ride.  Jus Sayn!!!

 

Yes, please turn that up!

 



"Freedom"

-Nelson Mandela


"For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others!"
