“The best way to predict the future is to create it.”

– Peter Drucker

This week, I challenge you to take control of your destiny. If you have been hanging with me any length of time, you already have written goals, timelines, and Scriptures to support them. So what’s next?

Another level!

I realize that some of you are just getting started, and you need a little P.U.S.H. (Prayer Until Something Happens). However, the rest of you need a physical push because “faith without works is dead.” And right now, you are doing more procrastinating than producing.

If the latter describes you, then it’s time to “turn up.” By that, I mean it’s time you and I go for it with zeal and excitement. Let’s show up energetically and enjoy the journey on our way to success and prosperity.

Last week, I truly turned up my artistic game by stepping up my efforts. The abundance of themes for new coaster art was both exciting and overwhelming. If only I had more hours in my day and more gas in my tank, I could have easily doubled the number of coasters I created.

In the end, I developed a couple of Ocala Florida Gator coaster styles, a bejeweled “You, Rock” collection, and a Jazzy-themed coaster. Some are the original sandstone with cork backing; others are larger ceramic tiles with little feet to protect your surfaces. You can check them out at http://www.reallyleah.com/shop. If you live in Ocala, you can purchase them at the Gallery on Magnolia (on the downtown square). The artwork is either from photography, videography, or graphic design and induced with my own flavorful style.

Please check them out. I hope you enjoy what you see. I hope you think of someone who might enjoy these as a gift to celebrate a special moment. Maybe you’ll even download a digital image for your own projects. Moreover, I hope you feel inspired to press the accelerator on whatever you are talented enough to produce!

Today is the day.

This week is the week.

Let’s give it to God the Creator and make it happen.

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 40:31

We’ve got this because God has us. So kick it into gear and create your future. Really,

Leah
