TO LIFE & PROSPERITY!

THRESHOLDWORLD'S thoughts are with everyone affected by the events in Haiti. The earthquake hit 2 hours after our post yesterday. On Tuesday, we spoke about some things being broken in order to be rebuilt.

I'd like you to be enlightened about Haiti's history. Chuck Leddy wrote this piece for the Christian Science Monitor a couple of years back. Please copy and paste the following into your browser: http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0323/p15s01-bogn.html

Any thoughts after reading this information? I learned this in college and not before. Some enslaved persons during prosperous Haiti actually fought and won; Yet victory was short lived and poverty stroked the land.

Relief efforts are being conducted by many great organizations. Please research before giving. The American Red Cross is a great organization to give and get help during this and other disaster situations. Go to www.redcross.org. The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability is a trusted site and has posted a link to organizations they approve at http://www.ecfa.org/ServantMatch.aspx?Type=Haiti.
The talented artist, Wyclef Jean, also has a great organization for his native Haiti as well at http://www.yele.org/about/index.html

Our wish is that Haiti is rebuilt with love from all the nations of the world!

Be Blessed!-Lapé

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.

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...

Blessed by Nature!

Today I went to my favorite spot in the world thus far. The Brooklyn Botanic Gardens has always been my best place to think, dream, and plan. I like this picture as it captures me in the moment. Soaking it all in. The beauty surrounds me. I love it! I am greatful to have such a lovely place as this garden in my community. View www.bbg.org for yourself and visit a garden in your community. If none, build it and they will come. :) Escape for a moment. Be blessed by nature!

Sparkle and Create!

Hello World. This was a very busy week. Thank God it's Friday. I want to share two nice video's with you; especially since I didn't communicate yesterday. If you had diamonds on the soles of your shoes, would it inspire you to get up and go? Use it as a metaphor. Are you working on something that may seem hard. Well, be diligent and make it beautiful! Be creative with some of life's tasks; Add some spark. Inspire yourself!
