Women do what we have to do even if that means not doing what we desire to do. We put the needs of others before our own and we put our dreams on the back burner hoping to get back to them later. This is why Lucinda Cross Carol Sankar Angela M Williams Jim Hernandez and Geneva Farrow decided to organize The RETREAT Conference Tour.

TRANSFORM your thinking to reaffirm you have everything it takes to win in life. Your transformation occurs when you focus more on WHERE YOU WANT TO BE than where you are. Develop your picture of life success with increased clarity every day. And when the lens gets cloudy, quickly wipe it and gain clarity again. -Cheryl Wood 

It may be slightly difficult to tell, but I am running in this picture.  You also can't see the mile marker, but I know just by the expression on my face that it is around mile 12. My body had just come to the realization that I had run 12 miles and it was telling me that I need to stop right now.  Actually maybe my body wasn't saying those exact words, but as in the famous words of the Geto Boys ...."My mind was playing tricks on me" 

Often we get mentally drained and we are willing to lay down our dreams when the finish line is right around the corner.  My body did make it to 13.1 miles, but only after I forced my mind to get on board with the idea of completing this race.  Are you at mile 12 and mentally ready to call it quits with only 1 more mile to go? My finish line picture looks drastically different. Even though I was still exhausted, my dream of finishing had been REVIVED and outweighed any fatigue that had washed over me.  

Today, I challenge you to REVIVE your dreams!  The fire that you had at the start of the race will return with a few mental adjustments. First, change your thinking! Pull up the weeds of doubt and replace them with positive mantras. On race day, I said to myself "Who Gone Stop you Now" as I listened to Kanye and Jay.  The only person that can stand between you and the finish line is you!!!  -Geneva Farrow (Dream Chaser) http://www.theretreattour.com
