Mindful Monday is a chance to give yourself another way to renew, recharge and rejuvenate.

"Be strong enough to stand alone. Smart enough to know when you need help. And brave enough to ask for it". -- Author Unknown                 "Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another stepping-stone to greatness". -- Oprah Winfrey 

These quotes are serve as an important reminder that we are always evolving in our journey as women. It is also a reminder that it is okay to ask for assistance.

March is Women's History Month and Dr. Aginah shares her perspective on women's empowerment. Women's empowerment is defined and broken down into five categories: social, educational, economic, political and psychological. Dr. Aginah provides an in-depth analysis as to why the empowerment of women is critical to our overall progress. The empowerment of women does not diminish other genders. It's quite the contrary. When women are empowered it has a positive impact on all aspects of our community.

“I am healthy”; I am strong; I am open to receiving abundance in all forms. I am grateful for all that is unfolding in my life and all that is yet to come. Things are always working out in my favor.”

This mantra is important because it serves as a reminder that things always have a way of working out, even if they don’t always go as expected. If you are feeling uncertain or stressed about a decision or upcoming event, recite these words. You will be reminded that no matter what, everything is going to be okay and there are solutions for whatever problems come your way. Reciting these powerful words also helps to reprogram your mind so that you can see the positive aspects of life. Choosing to see the world in a positive light can increase your feelings of motivation and joy, which can allow you to live life to the fullest. Even if things don’t appear to be working out in your favor at first, reciting this mantra can help you to see things from different points of view. This then allows you to see the benefits in all situations that come your way. Life rarely goes according to plan, but it does help to know that things are always working out in your favor, as long as you believe that they are.

In this week's episode of Lite It Up, Dr. Aginah Musherah focuses on the importance of speaking life and expressing gratitude. It’s safe to say that all of us have heard that our words are powerful. Our words can bring Life or Death. Our words can build someone up or tear someone down. Our words are powerful beyond measure! The fact that our words have power is the very reason why it is so important to speak life into others, as well as yourself. We can also speak life into others and ourselves by expressing gratitude. An expression of gratitude each day, is necessary to live a life of peace and an abundance of all of the good things that life has to offer us.

This episode is dedicated to my friend of 27 years who recently passed away. The life that she chose to live is a reminder that we should express gratitude in all things as long as we are blessed to live life each day.

Proverbs 18:21 "Death and life are in the power of the tongue."

Holy Qur'an 2:263 “A Kind word with forgiveness is better than almsgiving followed by injury.”

Seven Ways to Speak Life and Express Gratitude

1. Begin and end your day with gratitude.

2. Express gratitude to yourself.

3. Practice affirmations of gratitude.

4. Make a gratitude box.

5. Compliment others.

6. Make a habit of saying thank you.

7. Celebrate the moment.

Speak life into others, as well as yourself, and you can achieve the impossible. Speak life over every situation. Speak Life. Live Life. Love Life. Forever.

In this week's episode of Lite It Up, Dr. Aginah has an in-depth conversation with Khalilah Starks Adams about the power of manifesting and the Law  of Attraction (LOA). Khalilah has a deep understanding of the law of attraction and energy; and was gracious enough to share what she knows with the audience. Khalilah has also decided to share what she knows with the world through her platform High Powered Love. 

Khalilah explains that the law of attraction is one of the 12 universal laws that states, "like attracts like". Many people talk about manifestation and the benefits to one's life. From a scientific perspective, everything is energy and constantly vibrating. Everyone attracts experiences according to their own energy or vibration. In order for you to achieve the experiences that you want in life, you must vibrate on the same frequency as those experiences. Positive vibes will attract positive experiences and negative vibes will attract negative experiences. 

Take this one-hour journey as Khalilah introduces the Lite It Up Podcast audience to the power of manifesting and the Law of Attraction.
