The View From The Edge

This weekend I went to Dallas with my Mom and Dad. I wasn't thrilled about going, mostly because my husband wasn't going and I would be away from the kids for a whole weekend. But I went anyway because I knew it was important to my Dad. We went to The View. Most of you probably are thinking about The View, as in ABC's hit talk show with Barbara Walters. But thats not the view we went to. The View is a 3 day motivational seminar. The Director, Marc Acceta, uses characters to drive home different points, all done with humor, emotion and drama.
I was expecting to be entertained but what I experienced, I never saw coming. I've been in business for 13 years and have faced the same trials that most business owners have faced. I've trusted God and He has always been there for me. But every now and then we need someone, possibly someone from the outside, to shake us and wake us up.
Marc Acceta did that for me. My eyes were opened in a different way. I have a new outlook, not just on business but on life itself. So many of his characters spoke to me on different levels. And his wife Kelly gave an incredible testimony that ministered to me in a very personal way.
I am no longer going to let other people steal my dreams. I am in charge of my own future. God has given me dreams and visions and I will never let Satan lie to me again and tell me that those dreams and visions weren't from God! God has given me the power to create wealth and the passion to make it happen. He is my source and my provider and He wants me and my family to be BLESSED!!!
I will make a difference in this world. Today I make this statement and I mean it with my whole heart. I will give back. I will help others. I will run and not grow weary. I will not fall. I will make a difference.
I am so thankful for my husband Paul. Even though we don't see eye to eye sometimes, we can still work it out and our love is stronger because of it. My children point out my flaws and weaknesses as they see them and for that too, I am thankful. Sometimes we need to see ourselves the way our children see us. And lastly, I am so thankful to have parents who support me no matter what. They may not always see things from my point of view, but they still love me and want to see me succeed. My Dad especially. I have the best Dad in the world. He encourages me when I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. He is a dreamer also and I believe he passed that on to me and I am thankful for that.
I've seen the view from the edge and it has changed me. Thank You God for your faithfulness and for giving me dreams and the passion to make them a reality.

Love to all,
Holly
