Forde January is the month we can start fresh. It’s the time of the year for new beginnings. So in that vein, I wanted to start the year off with encouraging ways we can” Keep the Spark Alive in our Marriage” “Trust the magic of new beginnings.”. Is your relationship defined more by friendship than passion but that you still love each other and haven’t given up. Rest assured – it’s common for couples who have been married for a while and have busy lives, to drift apart emotionally and sexually. Like many couples, you can seem to have lost the intense spark you once had but you can rediscover your sexual relationship and get back on track. It’s normal to feel a sense of disappointment when our desire for sexual intimacy doesn’t match our partners and can create a pattern of disconnection to develop. Your struggle is a common one for hard-working couples and baby boomers balancing jobs, parenting, and intimacy.
Marriages can be full of passion, love and laughter – but after a while, things might start to feel a little flat. If you’re feeling like your marriage is lacking that spark, don’t worry – we have several suggestions for how to get it back! Passion in your marriage doesn't have to be complicated. In fact, passion can be as simple as sneaking a quick kiss when you pass each other in the hallway or stealing away for an unexpected date night. Dancing to old songs and looking at pictures of the fun you had when you were dating.

New Beginnings written by Yalanda S. Jessie So you have made it to 2023 blessedly. If you are like a majority In order to be successful at any new of Americans, you made resolutions beginnings, one must ensure that the that you wanted to adhere to before the year 2022 concluded. As goals they set are sustainable and individuals’ we pick up habits that are attainable. Let’s use weight as an neither productive nor healthy example since that is the goal of most throughout the year such as eating people. If you set a goal of 30 pounds unhealthily, poor time management, and in the first week of eating healthy procrastination, complacency, etc. and even exercising to some degree, But the beginning of a New Year you weigh yourself at the end of the always allows those that choose to, to first week and realize you only lost 1 or make resolutions that inspires them to 2 lbs and maybe some inches and you be better than they were the year become disheartened and want to give previously. The problem with up. What you should focus on is the resolutions is that some individuals set their goals excessively high then fact that you lost 1 or 2 lbs and they become disillusioned when they celebrate that on your way to your 30- do not see immediate results. pound goal as that is a healthy amount to lose per week. The biggest problem that interrupts goals is when an individual gets disappointed midway through and just gives up altogether instead of weathering the storm and pushing through.
So on your way to making your goals a reality, do not get weary in well doing (Gal 6:9), you have to dig your heels in that much more to be successful. If you are attempting to stop eating sweets (my vice) then take it, one day at a time. Break it down into the smallest component that you can in order to feel gratified at the end of the day. Make a concerted effort to go ONE HOUR without eating any sweets, if you are successful at this endeavor, then add another hour onto that until you have a complete 24 hours under your belt without any sweets. Each achievement should be celebrated which incentivizes you to continue in that vein. Whether your new endeavor involves attending a higher university, beginning a new business, altering your eating habits, or traveling more, ensure that you begin the process slowly so that you have not given up before the end of the month of January. And remember to reward yourself for the small achievements you are making towards achieving that goal, whatever that is. Let’s make it a great one since we lived to see it. Blessings and Happy New Year!
Start New Year Insured written by Tina Young-Holman Small business owners across America are constantly looking for ways to save money, and when it comes to insurance, many opt not to purchase anything at all. But this decision may not be the best one, as insurance can safeguard your company from a variety of potential catastrophes. For small businesses that operate from their homes, insurance is an essential part of protecting their assets. Businesses without proper insurance may not be able to cover expenses such as property damage or loss of profits in the event that something goes wrong. In most cases, buying small business insurance is a much cheaper option than dealing with a costly emergency. When buying small business insurance, it is important to consider the types of coverage that your business needs. Most small business don't need comprehensive coverage, but they should have limits on their liability coverage, property coverage, and uninsured liability insurance. When considering what types of coverage your small business needs, you should also take into account the risks that your business faces. Your business may be at a higher risk of certain types of accidents or loss than other businesses. You should also consider the type of business your business is and the industry in which it operates.
It is important to regularly review your policy and make any changes that are necessary to stay compliant with the latest changes in the industry. In addition, you should also be sure to have a professional review your policy every few years to make sure that it is up-to-date and reflects the risks. When you sell goods, it’s important to have the right type of insurance in place in case someone is injured or damages property as a result of using your product. Product liability insurance can help cover you if someone is injured by your product, or if their property is damaged as a result of using it. There are a few different types of product liability insurance, and each has its own unique benefits. You may want to consider purchasing liability policy for each type of product you’re selling: Manufacturer’s liability insurance covers you if someone is injured when using your product, even if you didn’t make it. This type of policy is especially important if you manufacture and sell products that are dangerous to child or adult if not use properly. Business property insurance covers your company’s assets, like buildings and equipment. This coverage can help protect you if something happens to your business’s physical property, like a fire.Workers’ compensation pays for the medical bills and lost wages of employees who become injured on the job. This kind of insurance is important especially if you have a lot of employees or do a lot of dangerous work. A business should also have commercial general liability insurance to protect it from lawsuits from people who are injured by your products or services, no matter who was responsible. This type of policy pays for damages that are caused by your company, regardless of who was at fault.

\"Time is like a river. You cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of your life! Remember life is only for a moment!” - Matthew S. Santana Jr.
A New Beginning Starts With A New Mindset written by Janice Newman When you set forth on a new beginning, venture, goal, or mindset, you must not be afraid and have the courage to make the necessary changes to your life. Change can be daunting. We struggle with change and are firmly committed to our current mindsets that we sometimes lack the ability to recognize if it’s a healthy, productive mindset. We hold dearly to what we know, refusing to let it go, versus accepting when change is necessary and making those changes. God commands us through Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go,” (NIV). Wiping out the old and dysfunctional mindset to create a new YOU is the requirement to start a new beginning. What is required to have a new beginning? WE CHANGE OUR MINDSET! “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2) (NIV)
Her mindset and mental attitude were for the need to be accepted by her peers, to fit in, and conform. The youngest sister’s response was to say, “At least I have shoes. You like me or you don’t. There are other kids to play with.” Her mindset to the negative comment did not devalue her personally, as she focused on her value versus the opinions of others. One mindset fed on the negative and the other accentuated the positive. Of the two girls, which one closely reflects you and your current mindset? Making small adjustments to our mindset by changing our views, values, and beliefs helps create a new beginning and renew ourselves. Changing our mindset provides an opportunity for a new beginning to make even the smallest of steps towards your goals or to make large changes in your life. At the beginning of every year, people make new resolutions that they will do or accomplish this or that. They start off thinking this will be the year. A week or two goes by with making some progress and motivation is high. Then by week three, the high motivation to achieve the goal starts sloping at a downward spiraling projection to eventually fade out, to hopefully one day be picked up to start again.
You renew your life by changing your mindset on how you view, understand, respond, and interact with the world. Vocabulary.com (2022) describes mindset as “a habitual or characteristic mental attitude that determines how you will interpret and respond to situations”. Change your attitude changes your mindset. No matter if your attitude is positive or negative, it will grow based on what it is fed. If your attitude is negative your results will be negative along with your mood, emotions, and overall outlook on the situation or working towards your goals. A negative statement such as I can’t or it won’t work can defeat you before you truly start. A positive statement such as I can, or I believe it will work can give the necessary boost to project you closer to the finish line. It is important that you take responsibility for your attitude and actions. Part of that new beginning in our lives is taking responsibility for our lives. We are responsible for our actions and reactions, what we say, do, and feel. We can’t blame others for how we feel or our actions or lack of action because we are in control of ourselves or at least we should be. Some circumstances may be beyond our control but how we respond, react, and interpret each situation lies solely on us. Years ago, I counseled two young sisters, 6 and 8 years old. Both had an incident of bullying at school where other children made fun of their non-brand name shoes. The oldest sister’s response was devastation, and embarrassment, and ran away crying
YOU must decide what changes you want to make, and why you want to make them, create a map or plan for your changes, and then make the first step. So many people fail to make changes or to achieve their goals because they simply won’t put one in foot in front of the other. Heck if you don’t want to do that put them together and just start hopping toward your goal or the change you want to make. It doesn’t matter how you get there just that you do. You must accept that you need to change, believe that you can change or reach your goals, and have the ability with the help of God and the Holy Spirit to motivate, influence, and guide your path to achievement. The next step is determining what needs to change.Think about or write down the 2 top changes that are necessary for renewing yourself in the categories of physical, mental/emotional, financial, and spiritual. Choose the top 1 or 2 changes that you feel are required. I recommend choosing from the spiritual or mental/emotional categories because changing your mindset from the old to the new involves a non tangible aspect of you. Sometimes the things you can’t see, or touch have the greatest impact on your life. Money is great don’t get me wrong but having confidence, determination, and willpower can get you the money and keep it coming.
So, ASK yourself right now these 4 questions? Write your answers down. 1. How will making the change or changes benefit or improve the quality of my life? 2. Am I willing to work for it, determined to achieve it, and vested in my belief and faith in making the change or changes no matter what? 3. How would your life look after making this change or changes? You must focus on working on the desired major change that will make the most improvement in your life, then other areas will start to fall into place and align. For example, for the mental/emotional category, a major change could be learning to say “NO”. People struggle with the ability to say “NO”. They are always giving in to others’ requests despite not wanting to or it’s highly inconvenient, but they do it anyway. Sometimes not saying “no” adversely affects your life and growth.Think about your WHY that influences you to not say “no”. Is it fear? Were you taught by your parents to always say “yes”? Do you want to be liked? Are you afraid of saying that dirty two-letter word “NO”? OH MY!!! How will people react if I say “NO”? You may think they will react negatively, but they might respect you more because you’re being honest, by valuing and respecting yourself.
