Introduction
Good, beautiful day, beautiful, beautiful souls! This is Charla Anderson, host of the Charla Anderson show collector and connector of fascinating people, and everyone is fascinating, especially you so excited.
This is our Thanks giving Eve show, and we have, you know, Thanksgiving is one of those holidays that is always on a Thursday, so my show is always on the Wednesday before. And so that’s kind of fun to have a Thanksgiving Eve show, and this, I believe, is my 3rd annual one of those. So that’s very exciting. Maybe a second.
Anyway. Thanksgiving, my favorite in everything. Give thanks, everything. Give thanks, yes, everything. Thank you for joining me today, and thank you for taking this few seconds to give our little 22 second mini vacation.
We’re going to breathe in some calm. We’re going to hold for 4 seconds, and we’re going to release gratitude for 11 seconds. So we’re going to breathe in 7 seconds of calm. Here we go! Here we go. Here we go. Hold, relax, release. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you for joining me. Thank you for being in gratitude and wanting to hear the importance of gratitude when I say in everything, give thanks. I’m not kidding, and most many of us go through life thinking, well, I’ll be thankful when everything is working right. Well.
What if you were thankful, no matter what? Because right this second. if you can take a breath if you can. If you can take a breath, if you can breathe, then you are provided for. You have been provided for up to this moment, when we don’t no longer take a breath when we’re no longer on this side of the dirt and can breathe free oxygen as my mentor Benson Agbatorgo calls it. Then then we don’t. Then we have no more option. Then we’re not provided for on this earth anymore, probably in a better way elsewhere. But in everything give thanks.
It’s it’s so. It’s so basic. I wake up. If I my my mantra, what I’m if I’m not thinking of anything else I’m hearing in my head.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I’m driving. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for your shield of protection.
Thank you for psalms 91, your umbrella protection. Thank you for the 10,000 angels that are protecting me at any given time, and I know that I have them. I just know that I’m protected because I claim those protection promises, and I live in gratitude. and when things are not as they seem or not, as I would prefer them.
I still don’t have any other place to be than where I am. If my situation is not. My circumstances are not what I want right now. It’s not my preference. I don’t have a choice to be anywhere but where I a to take that next step from right. So you want to understand that no matter what your circumstances are right, this second, it’s the only place you have to take that next step from. So you might as well love it. You might as well go. Okay, this is where I am. I choose to be in gratitude that I can take a deep breath, and I have an opportunity to take another step, and if I don’t like where I am, I might want to change a different direction, that I was different. Path that I’m on right now. Right? So, Thanksgiving
Eve, this is Thanksgiving Eve, and many people are preparing all kinds of stuff, and other people may not have much to feel thankful about.
It doesn’t matter. I mean it matters. But in everything give thanks. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Gratitude is a gift, and I have 3 of my 31 daily practices in my split second transformation. Change your words, change your life. 31 daily practices. This is a great gift. So here we are, right before Christmas 3 you know, just 3 weeks or 4 weeks before Christmas, and this is a wonderful book to give people for. It’s a great stocking stuffer, you know. What else is a great stocking stuffer might as well self promote here. Candy bar hugs. It doesn’t take much to make a difference. This tiny book with a big message.
Those are both on Amazon. And this tiny book with a big message has so many golden nuggets, and it’s a perfect stocking stuffer size. I think it’s 5, 55 on Amazon. Just you know it’s a great gift, you know. Buy multiples. Why not? And I’m going to just go ahead and promote my 3rd book, the change insights into self-empowerment. Book number 21 is the one I’m in with the forward by Les Brown here. And so that’s not on that one is not on Amazon. You can find it on Ingram Sparks, and you know we’ll have my link any hopefully anywhere you
find this. But it’s certainly going to be on my website. Right? Thank you for just indulging me with that. Because I those are powerful reminders. All 3 of those books that have powerful reminders about. You know who you are. you know you get to say who you are. You know the words I am after. You say I am. Whatever you say after that is who you are in that moment, and it’s who you become if you say it over and over again. So if you listen to me at all. You know I say this a awful lot, a whole lot, because you know every word matters, every word matters, and if those words are in gratitude. that’s all the better. so I actually was reviewing this morning this, my, my 3 chapters of gratitude in here. It’s like, okay. Gratitude. Chapter one.
What chapter? So, chapter 7. And everything. Give thanks. Part one and everything. Give thanks. Part 2. And those are chapter 7, 8, and 9 in the split. Second transformations change your words, change your life. 31 daily practices. Gratitude is key. What if it is the secret to happiness? I do believe it is, and what
You know there’s so many aspects to gratitude. But I guarantee you this is a guarantee. I think, that the more you. The more that you are thankful, the more that you are not in a complaining mode. the more that you have you look for what’s right instead of what’s wrong, you focus on what you can do instead of what you can’t do. And you know it’s a muscle, just like, just like just like building a muscle in your. You know your body.
Gratitude is a muscle, and I’m just always complaining. And I tell you what, the more upset, draws, upset, love draws more love. Be thankful for what you have, so you can have more to be thankful for. This is a this is a universal truth, and they’ve proven these things scientifically now. So why
are we still resisting and thinking that? Well, you know. But my situation is red, you know I I don’t have any. I’m not happy until I can’t be happy until everything is right, or I have this or I have that, or this person does this or that?
Sorry?
It’s not the truth you get to choose. You get to choose who you are. You get to say yes, I am a happy person who I am is bold faith, no fear who I am is outrageously optimistic. Who I am. It’s a child of the Most High who I am is who I say I am. Every word matters, and gratitude is just crucial. It’s key.
And what if we and I you, you know, I say, this is well, quite a bit. But what if we were taught? I do believe that prayer is, is we? I was not taught to pray in a way that is effective. I was, you know. Please, please God, please, please, please, please, do you think he isn’t wise enough to know? Hear you the 1st time. And just what if you said, Thank you. Thank you so much for the whatever it is you need or want. Thank you.
Ask. Thank you believe I know it’s already on its way. Be open to receive and lay it at his feet. That is how you manifest. If you’re familiar with that word term manifesting. That’s how we attract the things in our life that
is going that we want. We act as if it’s already on its way, because when you have spoken and thank you, thank you. Thank you that that new job is already on its way, and I lay it at your feet. and you live your life in gratitude, as if it’s already there, or coming soon, and so often we just totally flat out, negate our wishes, our prayers, because we say things like Well, if it’s your will. Well, honestly, unless there’s something
criminal or wrong, or hurt other people. you know God’s God’s will is, is.
he lives in you. It’s your will is his will, too, when you’re aligned and doing positive things and not
hurting people. And I know I’m not expressing this the way I’d like to express it, but I think you get the point in everything. Give thanks and lay it at his feet. Relax, release, let it go. Thank you. Yes, I needed, you know. I I’ll I’ll just say this
for manifesting, so to, so to speak. I wanted some new blush. I needed some cheek color. And I just, I was like, Okay. I you know. I’m going to manifest some cheek color. Yes, I just need it. So I’m just putting it out there. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you that some blush is already on its way, and and I went to the store and I bought a lip pencil. And, by the way, it’s your birthday month, which this is November 30th is my birthday, so Thanksgiving will never follow my birthday. But it’s close
this this year is the closest it will ever be. 28th is the latest Thanksgiving can ever be. So anyway. I’m in there, and she goes. Oh, it’s your birthday month. How about you? Get a discount on? And then you get to pick a little gift out of the basket, and she says. By the way, here’s this blush that goes great with that lip pencil, I was like.
huh! Thank you. Thank you. I knew I was gonna get some. I didn’t have to.
I didn’t know where it was going to come from. But is that a big thing or a small thing in everything? Give thanks. Big and small examples I sometimes use for the thanks. It’s like, you know, you drop something, and it hits the chair, and you don’t have to bend all the way over. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I’m so glad I didn’t have to bend over, or it bends, hits the floor and and breaks, and you’re thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I needed that exercise. And what if the policeman behind you, you know, stop you and pull you over, and you can just
be in the attitude of gratitude. So what if them pulling you over, whether you get a ticket or not? You just thank them for their service. And you know you whether you get a ticket or not. It’s not that point. What if, because of that, you’re running late, you’re kind of racing you’re trying to get somewhere, and that stop prevents something unknown that you probably will never know from you, being involved with everything. Get thanks whether it feels right or not. And I’m telling you. you know, when we go into the hard subjects like like a child dying, which I know of one recently that’s so so horrifically tragic, and
we can be so incredibly grateful that that child has 0. Pain will never have pain. We’ll never have to know any of any fear or pain, and she’s got all knowledge, and she’s got. She’s dancing with the angels. She’s happy, she’s in such a better place.
It’s not easy on those left behind, certainly not at all. But when we can get past our immense grief for a moment, and thank you that she we’ll never know the pain that
she obviously, you know, we all nobody gets there gets through this life without having something right? So that’s a that’s a hard one. but it is still finding something to be grateful for in the midst of hard things I want to encourage that a hundred percent of the time. I just I I when you. when you can stop yourself from complaining, from even cursing things that are going on in your world, and you start watching your words because every word matters. I promise you you’ll start seeing things differently. There’s quotes all over the place. And of course, Wayne Dyer, and all the you know so many people have these beautiful quotes about. When you, when you look at something different.
it changes. It becomes different when you change your perspective. things change, and this is no different. Everything give thanks giving. And what about in relationships? So you know what if you have. you’ve been married a while, and
he doesn’t put the toothpaste. He still won’t put the toothpaste back together right? Or or put the seat down on the tongue. Whatever those preferences that we all have, we have preferences. And what if we started only focusing on the things that are excellent, the things that are good the things that are light and high, and I mean.
you know you. You fell in love with them, or you married them, or you’re in that relationship for a reason. and when we start focusing on what’s wrong all the time.
it won’t. It won’t get better guarantee it won’t get better when you start looking at what’s wrong, instead of focusing on what you do, love on the things that are good, the things that they do well and right, and if you almost you see the things you don’t like. But if you kind of ignore them and lift them up on the things when they do
things, and you smile. What about a big old smile? Just smile when they come home? And and yeah, it doesn’t matter what they’ve done, what you’ve done.
Nobody’s perfect. My tiny book, this this amazing little book that I wrote in 2017. So it’s been out a little bit. But you know I did what I did this. I this is in the dedication in this little book. I did what I did. I didn’t do what I didn’t do. I did all that I knew to do with what I knew at the time. just like you did and are doing in your life right now.
I love you. I call it a forgiveness, release, and it was written in a dedication to my children. And it’s a universal truth. What what if we could acknowledge that people are only doing what they know to do. Very seldom is it against someone else. Very seldom is what I do against you. It’s just what I’m doing right now. It’s just my, it’s I. And so when we live our life that way, when we understand that that we’re not the one we’re not the end all be all. We don’t have. All the answers, and other people are raised differently and have different perspectives, and when we are walking in looking for what’s wrong and focusing on what’s wrong all the time. You’re not going to get what’s right. You’re going to get more of what you focus on. And that is the truth. You get what you focus on. You get what you think about, you get what you speak, you become who you say you are so totally and encourage you in relationships. In spouse children focus on the behaviors you love, speak kindly, and
you know I. And and this this book also has UN conditional love, unconditional forgiveness. not unconditional boundaries. Okay, so we don’t. We’re not speaking unconditional boundaries. We’re not. You know, we we want to maintain our space. But if you can just walk, you know, start releasing these these negative things we’re carrying around. And I guarantee you one way to do it is to start minimizing your screen time. You’re you’re inundated 24, 7 with with messages. Vast majority are negative, either negative or he’s not positive. Not helping. You think better have critical thinking skills. It’s telling you what to be. You know what’s funny, and I’m
I’m witnessing it all the time. That entertainment is just the highest value in our society, I believe, and they are. Believe it’s it’s a. It’s programmed for a reason. It’s called programming for a reason. So when we are only searching for what’s like. Funny? What if we have you? Have you stopped reading books? Do you read books? Now? Here’s a great one to start with. Look, it’s a 25 min. Read, I said. Listen to an on audible 25 min, that’s it. But it’s got so much power in it. Power packed information and encouragement, you know, if you don’t know what it’s about. I started buying a candy bar for the checkout people and then offering a hug.
and I didn’t like the elbow bump years. But anyway, I I have stories that came out about that, and it’s just a small thing that makes a big difference, right? And people, really
or it’s just unexpected. Oh, no, no, you don’t need to do that. I’m like, well, no, I don’t. I just want to. I’m offering a candy bar. What’s your favorite one?
And a giver can’t give if a receiver won’t receive. So some people aren’t able to receive and don’t. Yeah. Oh, who wants to be around people that just don’t have joy? And what the deal is? This is the key to that. People don’t love themselves enough.
They haven’t learned to love themselves enough to be able to just relax and love others as who and where they are. I’ll guarantee you that God loves you exactly who and where you are. Right this second. And when I’m talking about God, and I’m talking about that, you know I’m not talking religion even a little bit. Nope, not religion. I’m talking about relationship. And when you can have a let go of the religion, the god in a box. You know my God’s better than your God. My religion’s better than your God. When you can let some of that go and just have a relationship with the Creator.
Oh, everything changes. You have a relationship, and you start learning that you can’t be loved more or less. By God, there’s nothing you can do to be loved
more or less. You are loved. If God is love, he can’t be not loved. So this is a message to you to understand that if when you start releasing that. you’re not good enough because you are. you might have made some bad choices who hasn’t
in the religion world man, you know David was a murderer, that you know the the God’s favorite person, I mean he, you know he was an adulter and a murderer, and and and so many things. But he was a man after God’s own heart. Okay, so nobody is perfect. Not one person is perfect in the Bible other than Jesus, and God uses
imperfect people, God, none of us are perfect, none of us have done no wrong, none of us is, and none of us has done something so bad that we cannot be forgiven for none. None of us, every single person can be forgiven. That doesn’t mean justice doesn’t need to happen if something some people are doing have done bad things. You know this child trafficking stuff, man. Those people deserve their punishment, their justice for hurting innocence. but that doesn’t mean they can’t be
forgiven if they chain if they choose to change. And that’s the you know. Anybody listening to this have never done some of them bad things that I’m talking that I could be referring to. But what if you could just relax and receive that you are loved.
What if you could just relax and go? Huh? I’m okay. I’m okay, just like I am exactly exactly right now who I am. I’m okay. and I am loved by my Creator. What if you can start receiving that in finding? And if you’re in a depression, there’s people so far deep into depression. Take a deep breath, just take a deep breath.
What is one thing? Can I just be grateful for the free oxygen? Small thing, maybe. Consider who lot of people have it better off than you do, all of us.
and a lot of people have it worse off. And when we can just find that we’re not the worst. We’re not the best. We’re just all of us just trying to get through life the best we can with the tools we were given, and how can we make a difference?
How can we make a difference in the depression piece? Sometimes you find if you find somebody some thinged. an animal a bug. I don’t know something that you can go. Okay, I don’t have much, but here’s a quarter. I don’t have much, but I found this penny, and and and they add up, you know, can I? I don’t have much. but I can pick up a piece of trash and make that world a better place, so another. You can’t change the world. But you can change your world, which changes the world. Another piece of wisdom in this tiny book.
Yes, you can’t change the world. but you can change your world picking up trash, buying a cup of coffee for somebody. You know. Just type in your taking your grocery cart back to the, you know, doing something just because it’s the right thing to do or why not? Why not? And tomorrow is thanksgiving, thanks giving, and everything. Give thanks. So whether you have a feast, or whether you have. you know, a happy meal, or whatever you’ve got. You know you want to be grateful
that you can take a breath and and and just to toss one other thought out there I do short shows on on. on my solo days, but just to toss this out there. the collective of humanity, the collective of everybody in the United States, especially mostly on Thanksgiving. That’s our holiday. Us. Holiday. Other countries celebrate it. Simple, too, but not always the same day. But what if the collective on the on Thanksgiving Day any given year. I believe that our if we’re walking in gratitude, if we’re grateful for what we have, if we can be thankful that we live in the greatest country, on, ever in history. in spite of all the issues. we’re still in United States of America, and they’re not another country in the world that has the word dream after it. Main one.
There’s no Polish dream. There’s no Brazil dream. There’s the American dream, and people all over the world still want to come in and and and you’re invited all over the world. You’re invited. Just do it legally. Just do the right way. Do it, do the right way, so you can stand in the United States of America as a American. That’s the way to do it. And we, you know, we we welcome people. Day one. We’re all nobody, nobody’s, you know, just not not hybrid from somewhere else. Right? We all come from somewhere else. So when we’re here. just just be here. Do and love America the way it is, and when you love something, for where it is as it is, you can extend in a stance of. Here’s some ways we can make it better and work together. Let’s work together and make our country better. Let’s make a world a better place, my mama said, leave the world a better place. Do it make things better than you found them? Why not just do it? Simple examples, you know, in a, in a public bathroom. If you happen to have a paper towel.
you know, wipe it up for the next person. Little things make a big difference, and it makes you feel like you’re contributing to a better world. Look for things to be grateful for. Look for things to be thankful for. And this tomorrow, as we’re all you know, just thanking and being in a day of of thanksgiving, you know. Don’t forget 2. Raise your energy, smile, smile a bigger smile. love the person in front of you
love the person. That’s where I started with this, you know, with candy bar hugs, I was like, how can I make a difference for the person right in front of me. What if this is another nugget in this book? What if you don’t have to go searching for your purpose. your purpose? What if your purpose is just? Who you are, and how you treat the next person? What do you think you know? Join me on being in everything. Give thanks, gratitude, thanksgiving, love one another. love each other, and the harder. That’s another thing. In the same book, and the harder people are to love the more they need it. You know, victims. Bullies are victims, too. People that are not nice
don’t love themselves enough to know how to love other people so we can help them. We can be a good example about it. Can’t we just just show kindness, show kindness. May you be blessed. You are perfect exactly who and where you are. I’m so incredibly grateful that you chose to spend a few moments with me and listening to my little rants, and I’m you know, when I don’t think that anybody that knows me well would think that I’m when I say all these things that I’m making it up.
It’s really who I am, so I’m grateful that you would take time. I’m thankful for Thanksgiving. I’m thankful that I’m going to have a little time with some family, and
then birthday weekend Grandbaby is going to be 3. We’re going to go cut down Christmas trees. I’m going to be 71 on Saturday on the 30.th So let’s just celebrate, celebrate, celebrate, celebrate, celebrate! And then we count down to the the big Christmas. Oh, my goodness, it’s sneaking up. How how to get? How’d it go so fast? Well, blessings to you! Blessings, blessings, blessings! And I’m grateful that you are here. I want you to remember that, as
I always say, choose joy.

Get In Touch

I’ve got resources, programs, books, and coaching or whatever it is that you need to change your words or change your life. Every word matters. I invite you to go to my ever involving website, CharlaAnderson.com, and grab a copy of those two bestselling books that I’ve held up, as well as I’ve got a chapter in the Change, Insights Into Self-Empowerment, book number 21 with Les Brown on the cover with some amazing stories and authors in this book series.
I invite you to take a look at that, grab that book, and glean this wisdom of twenty of us. If you’d like to have that credibility factor of being in a book with Les Brown, shoot me a message. We’ll connect you. I have a free gift for you. This is on my website at CharlaAnderson.com. It’s called 7 Ways To Transform Your Life By Changing Your Words. It’s an amazing workbook or eBook. It’s one of my free resources on there. Please let me make a difference in your world.
Upcoming Book
Also, here I am, Charla Anderson. The Charla Anderson Show, collector and connector of fascinating people, and everyone is fascinating. You can find out more about the Win-Win Women Network. Find out about that. It’s a global initiative to bring information to 3.9 billion women. That’s pretty broad. Paula Fellingham is a visionary and it’s coming to fruition now after all of her years of work. This Win-Win Women Network is powerful. I would love to share more information about that.
I have a forthcoming book. Guess what it’s called? Outrageously Courageous: Bold faith, No fear, Step Towards The Gun. Sherry will have a piece in that. That’s the story we’re talking about here. How do you step towards a gun and have no fear? Who I am is bold, faith, and no fear. If you say it often enough, it’s who you become in the moment. At that moment, I can’t tell you how impactful that has been and I still say it all the time. Why not? Why not speak what you want? I want to be bold. I want to be faithful. I want to have outrageous faith. That’s what I think.
After The Incident
I’m going to go ahead and tell a snippet of the rest of the story, so when that book comes out, you will want to get it for sure. For Sherry, it was very inconvenient to have to go through insurance. Her keys and a little bit of money were stolen. Everything in that backpack, she handed over. It’s a lot of work to figure out all that stuff. Fortunately, I did not release my purse, my phone, and my keys. It would have been a whole different story. It is a big inconvenience, and we had it back.
After this conference was over, I had another conference the next week in Tennessee as well. I drove on over to the Nashville area and I went to another conference. I stayed with my sister Marsha who lives not too far from Nashville. I stayed there for a week or two because trying to deal with all the insurance, police reports, and all that.
It was nice. Going back, I headed from there. I’m driving back to East Texas. To make a long story short, it became a big story. As I was driving, I found out that the room I was going to rent was not available anymore. She changed her mind. What had happened? Carlene’s dream had motivated me to take new action and move, but it wasn’t where I was supposed to be.
I went and stayed with her a day or two and I said, “This isn’t it.” I got out of my beautiful comfort zone and my little house and had some adventures, and then another transition. Here I am. All my stuff is upstairs at my ex-husband’s house where I raised my kids. I said, “How about if I move into one of those bedrooms upstairs and help with the rent or whatever.”
I came back and moved in upstairs with my ex-husband. It turned out to be a blessing for both of us in a lot of ways. It was a chaotic mess amid all the boxes and all the stuff. Miraculously, I ended up getting my book self-published. The Candy Bar Hugs: It Doesn’t Take Much to Make a Difference, got self-published. Interesting? I couldn’t even begin to tell you how that happened during all that time, but it did.
I went through that. It was the end of 2017. Seven years ago, it’s hard to even fathom how much has happened and continues to happen. Everything in our world has been changed. I ultimately was able to buy the house back from Ed and I’m living here as we speak. It’s been 30 years since we originally bought this house. I’m grateful for all of those situations that brought me where I am.
God’s Love And Being Present
Where I am is all I have and that’s what I’m going to tell you now. I want to remind you that you are perfect exactly who and where you are right now. You are loved. God loves you. If God is love, you can’t be not love. I love you. You are loved. If you are loved, if you can receive that, if you can’t receive that, if you don’t feel loved or lovable, let’s talk because you can’t do one thing to make god love you more or less. You are perfect exactly who and where you are.
I’ll add this first. Unconditional love, unconditional forgiveness, not unconditional boundaries. The harder people are to be loved, the more they need it. Is that you? You might want to take a look. Is there a reason? Many of us were hurt when we were little. All of us were hurt when we were little one way or the other, but many of us say, “I will never be hurt like that again.” You start building walls.
The harder people are to be loved, the more they need it. Share on XSometimes it takes some digging to get back to that, “You are perfect and exactly who and where you are.” I want you to begin hearing that if that’s not how you feel right now. When you embrace it, you will realize that right here, right now is the only place you have to take the next step. You can’t change that. You can’t change that week. You can’t change that mistake. You can’t change anything that has happened in your past. You can’t change your grandparents’ meeting or anything.
Everything has divinely brought you here for this message right now. There is nothing else you can do. Nothing to change that. Whether you’re in the gutter, whether you’re in the castle, whether you’re in the jet, where you are right this second is all you have to take the next step from.
If you listen to me much, I’m going to continue nailing that in. If you ever say, “I get it now. You don’t have to keep saying it,” let me know. I’d like to know because I think it’s a reminder we all need, but you cannot change anything there. Everything is a choice. Where you all are is all you have. You might as well love it. You can change the next step, the next word.
If you don’t like where you are, that’s your opportunity to change the next step, the next word because it’s all a choice. You get to choose if you speak life, not death. You get to choose who Charla is, and who I am. I choose gratitude. I choose in everything, to give thanks. I choose unconditional love. I choose to be outrageously optimistic, outrageously courageous, and outrageously bold, faith, and no fear.
I know some people say, “That’s not the reality.” I will say it’s my reality because I chose it. Do I know stuff is going on out there? I know stuff is going on. Do I like it? No, but I believe that it’s getting better despite the craziness. I don’t have to walk in the fear of it, the confusion of it, or the divisiveness of what the media is trying to keep us divided. If you don’t believe that, we can talk.
I don’t watch TV. I don’t watch the media. I have a lot of good sources of information that do not include propaganda machines. I know it’s controversial. I am outrageously courageous. I am bold faith, no fear. I want to change that to a question. Am I outrageously courageous? Am I both faith and no fear? I like you to say, “Who I am is absolutely what I am.”
Prophetically, my name means to chat in Spanish and joy in Greek. I named my coaching program, Charla’s Outrageously Courageous Life Mentoring System a week before I stepped towards a gun. What do you think? Is it prophetic? Do you think my parents were prophetic? They didn’t know. I didn’t know for most of my life.
I am who I say I am. I choose to spend time with my friends at Bri Talks and learn how to learn with Terri Lee Harrison and I am very grateful that she’s helping me learn how to step on stage and be a better speaker. If you want more information about that, it’s for faith-based speakers, Bri Talks. Amazing group of folks globally.
Episode Wrap-up
As I always do in all of my shows, I’m going to go ahead and end this. When I fly solo, I end it in less than half an hour. I appreciate that you would take the time to listen to this little 70-year-old lady. Those guys in Memphis think two little old ladies walking up the driveway were easy targets. Don’t mess with Texans is what I say. I am who I say I am. I am bold faith. I am outrageously optimistic. I would love to hear who you say you are. Who do you say you are? Check out my ever-evolving website. Reach out to me. How can I support you? Remember to always choose joy.
