Growing on Purpose

Hello. So nice to communicate with you. Happy Holidays as well. I am so excited that I am now connecting with the right people, organizations and events to make things happen!

I'm officially a public relations specialist for my worship center. In the past I'd just do what needed to be done because it was necessary and the laborers were few. I did have qualifications though. Now that my area of specialization has been identified I am amazed. Many non-profit org admins wear many hats.

Though I love hats this one is just right for any occasion. While finding this area of efficiency I've also found areas in which I need to improve. - I am very grateful. I've believed that putting God first and good deeds would help my life's purpose as surely it has. I've known for years that writing and public speaking are areas I'd work in some form but it's now happening consistently.

I've even identified the networks and organizations that will help propel my career. I'm so excited to have now become familiar with beliefnet.com. You all know I wish you peace at the end of every blog entry. During this holiday season while looking up peace I discovered the blog of Norris from beliefnet.com and his entry on peace. I immediately shared it on FB and subscribed to their newsletter. It's so impressive. Great information sharing, inspiration and faith based. Hmmm sound familiar?

What I love is that the Co-founder, Steve Waldman is an accomplished Journalist and Entreprenuer. He was once the senior advisor to the ceo of the Corporation of National Service in the 90's! I read this with excitment. Love It! Truely my concentration in school was Journalism and I was a member of the Corporation for National Service in the 90's. Mr. Waldman actually left beliefnet.com in November to become a senior advisor the the chairman of the FCC. He will be serving in strategic planning focusing on Journalism and New Media.

Mr. Waldman is a man to know about at this time in my life. Certainly -l recognize his face from news shows but fully understand his excellent contribution to Journalism, faith and entreprenual implementation. I've said much. Are you growing in your purpose? Has your area of specialization been uncovered? Are you ready willing and able to accept the call? Are you networking in that area? Work to make a difference and you will possibly find your purpose. Be Blessed! Peace

Honeydew Holistics!

Hello World,  I recently had the pleasure of introducing Alicia Hudson, owner of Honeydew Holistics , for a women's history month event at Borough of Manhattan Community College . Ms. Hudson gave a very informative presentation on womb wellness, to a diverse audience that continued to want more! I followed up by booking a Yoni Steaming, the main service provided at her new shop located in DUMBO (Down Under The Manhattan Bridge Overpass) at 53 Bridge St. in Brooklyn, NY. - A little bit of history : The neighborhoods of DUMBO and Vinegar Hill (named differently in the 1800's) housed a  free black community. Brooklyn's anti-slavery movement began in 1810 and there were black-owned businesses in this very area.  Yours truly, Melanie on site. 53 Bridge St. Ms. Hudson referenced that Essence Magazine had an event in the area some time ago which introduced her to the community. She loves her magazines as they've been the source of much inspiration in her life and business. It

Get UP! Stand UP! DANCE!!!!

My name is Melanie Shaleya Lewis and I am the founder of ThresholdWorld. This blog was started out of my personal perseverance to make a change in my life for others. I faithfully danced in the height of my unpaid work, while personal circumstances challenged me. I became inspired by a word gift from above and acted on it! Hence today! -You are reading, I am writing and experiencing what I never thought or imagined. That's a quick recap of this blogs beginning. You can view the very first post from December 2009 in the archives. My passion to serve comes from my father Jesus Christ who died for the world to be free from a life of mess and continuance of it after death. Take it or leave it for what that means for you. Transformational thinking, living, and speaking will determine your fate; I pray you choose a positive threshold in your personal world. ThresholdWorld is a space to learn ideas, information and inspiration to spur your life into transformative action! I write of
