Thank God For the Weekend!

I just want to share something that blessed me this week, give a shout out and share some local Brooklyn community resources.

Shout Out to OkayAfrica, the largest US-based website focusing on new and progressive music, art, politics, and culture from the African Continent, for hosting the coolest outdoor event 'Mzansi Heat & Naija Beats' on Thursday.  ---Well maybe Dave Chapell still holds the title with his block party but I wasn’t there.

First of all before I got to the event I was able to view the live stream performance by students of Eagle Academy. Once I did arrive guides gave optional directions depending whether to sit or stand. Then there was quick but understandable security check before entry to the great space.  It was such a large and beautiful spot. Best lighting and decor esthetic ever seriously.

The changing of colors, and string of lights hanging was so nice. There was great sound. Not too loud not too low. It was just right. The night was just so chill. Now I can recommend future attendance to Damrosch Park and OkayAfrica events since I’d never been.

Most of all seeing the OkayAfrica logo in the background, brothers and sisters representing with sounds from all over the diaspora and dancing by all of the beloved community at Lincoln Center Out of Doors  #Priceless

Far as inspiration two things blessed me this week.

Toure Roberts and a prayer by Sarah Roberts Jakes. The video is “His Role, Her Movement, Our Rewards.” It’s so confirming and timely. His passionate preaching and how her prayer sealed a positive affirmation in my spirit, My God. Just watch it and pray that we can receive the wisdom.

I’ll also share some genius inspiration by Power of Positivity.

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!
