Putting CommUnity Ideas To Work!

Hello World! -Thank God For the Weekend!

Over the past three years I've worked to promote education, mentorship, emergency preparation and faith based initiatives in communities undergoing development. While serving to get the word out about services and supporting non-profit organizations and agencies, I've come across many amazing people and events in which many community members may not be aware.

I intend to highlight some of the entities in which I've engaged in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, East New York, Brooklyn, Far Rockaway, Queens, South Jamaica, Queens, Brownsville, Brooklyn, East Harlem, South Bronx, North Shore, Staten Island and more! I believe these are all areas to keep an eye on for old and new services which assist the community in addition to events which enrich the lives of friends and neighbors alike.

If you live in these areas and would like me to promote, host or cover your next community event ...Email your Beloved Community Ambassador Today! Blessmelanie@gmail.com

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...

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!
