Retreat Recap

Thu, 30 Sep 2010 03:44:26 +0100

Friday afternoon the ladies began to arrive, many of them traveling long distances and in need of some inspiration. Frankly, I was a little battle-weary, myself, but it was a good feeling to see the vision finally become reality.

After I welcomed them, LuJuana opened us up with her rendition of Jill Scott’s “Golden.” That loosened everyone up and we were READY! I discussed the purpose of the retreat and then we had a quick “Hey, Sistah!” meet-and-greet segment. The ladies had an opportunity to meet other ladies and find out what they hoped to get out of the retreat. Next, LuJuana made the debut of the Inspired Sistah Anthem, “Inspired,” and rocked it like only she could. That led us into the evening’s workshop entitled, “My Vision, My Worth.” The ladies were encouraged to develop “Vision Books” utilizing magazines, craft and scrapbooking materials. During this time, I went around and had intimate laser-coaching sessions with each of the ladies to encourage them on their journey. Afterwards, we adjourned for the evening, but not before (3) special sistahs were selected to share their vision with us the next morning.

We started on Saturday with another welcome from me and LuJuana jamming, Mary J’s, “Just Fine.” Excited, we were eager to hear the ladies’ visions. Encouraged by them, we were ready for the next workshop, “It’s in the Bag.” Each lady received a “purse” filled with things you might normally find in a lady’s bag. The bag represented their “outer man” and the contents represented the “inner man.” They had to choose a few essential items and share with us what those items symbolized in their life. This was a great exercise because it gave them an opportunity to examine areas in their life that were already working and other areas that may need a little adjustment. One that stands out to me was Angela’s analogy that chewing gum represented a “nasty little habit!” Hmmm….

After lunch, LuJuana blessed us with her version of India.Arie’s “Beautiful Flower.” That led us into the “My Essence” workshop where the ladies had an opportunity to receive words of affirmation and strength from each other. I closed the retreat out with my keynote, “Possessing Your Worth,” where I shared some of my testimony and a few points on fully valuing themselves. We ended with LuJuana’s testimony and the Inspired Sistah Anthem, “Inspired.”

Overall, the retreat was truly amazing! Testimonies are coming in. Ladies are inspired and encouraged to move forward with their purpose and are already talking about coming next year. I guess I better get to work! LOL!

Already on it!

Three more weeks and it's coming to pass!

I am in absolute awe of what is going to take place. It's going to be such a life-changing opportunity for everybody. So many great things have already manifested as a result of this effort. I hope you're ready for change, 'cause it's going down! LOL! Stretch your neck out and get your faith up because it's going to be awesome. That's all I can say...

Stay tuned for updates!

Blessings!

It's Coming Together...

Fri, 30 Jul 2010 04:22:38 +0100

I have to let you in on a little secret…This retreat is a total act of faith. When the idea was first presented to me, I was minding my business doing whatever it is that I do. LOL! But when a beautiful sistah posed the idea to me, something in me ignited. And without a lot of background information, I was booking the retreat center within weeks. Something about it just felt right and I went with it.

Every step of the way has continued to confirm what I was already sensing in my spirit. When I say it’s going to be phenomenal, I’m not just whistling Dixie! LOL! As the weeks draw near, I will give you more details, but let me just share with you that a beautiful sistah, who will also be the guest psalmodist, wrote a theme song for me. My husband is composing the music and it is just beautiful!

It has been placed in my spirit that there are certain women that desire to come to the retreat, but there are obstacles that have been set up to hinder them from coming. Just know that I am in total agreement with those roadblocks being removed. I hope to be able to post a clip of a revelation that I got about the retreat so you will get a feel for how incredibly powerful it’s going to be. Although this is not a “religious” event, it will be a spiritual one that will be like no other. So come prepared to receive…

Don't Miss It!

There has been a lot of interest in the retreat & I'm always humbled with the fact that I've been entrusted to deliver such an amazing gift. I want to share it with the world! This is definitely an opportunity you don't want to miss. It will be life- changing & like no other. I know you've heard that before, but I'm fa' real! LOL!

I've extended the Early Bird Registration rate of $125 until 7/1/10. So if you were teetering on the edge of decision, here's your confirmation: REGISTER TODAY! ;-)

I can't wait to meet all of you and share.

This Event is Going to be Fantastical!

Sat, 15 May 2010 18:42:28 +0100

Okay...so maybe fantastical is not a word, but I had to find some way of describing how great this event will be. It's not going to be your regular, ol' women's gathering where we sit around and size each other up. No ma'am! This is going to be an opportunity to not only be inspired but empowered to do great things in your own life. We'll achieve this with a series of activites geared toward developing the "greatness" that lies within. You will feel renewed, but also convinced that you are the greatest thing since sliced bread! Believe it, Sistah!

Do something good for yourself and join me. I can't wait!!!1

Blessings,

Excited About the Shift!

Thu, 08 Apr 2010 21:23:55 +0100

Since the inception of Inspired Sistah last year, God has continuously unfolded His ultimate plan, layer by layer. And each time He shows me something new, I am awe-struck. My original intent was to just write a "little, old book" to encourage and inspire my sistahs and now here we are hosting a retreat. I am too thrilled about the shift, but I would be lying if I said that I didn't have any trepidations. But I encourage myself on a daily basis with the fact that I know God has prepared me for this and has already made the way plain. I just need to be obedient to the vision. Something that He has affirmed in me is that there will be thousands of women that will be "watered" by this ministry. That fact both excites and frightens me. But I abate the fear by staying focused on the vision, sitting and His feet and obeying His command.

I hope that you will avail yourself of the opportunity to be "watered" from God's Garden.

Blessings,
Tangie
