Merry Christmas

It was about this time in 2009; I was preparing to have my first "Righteous Woman" brunch. Tho, I was extremely nervous, I am glad that I got over it and made it happen.
For that I have to thank my wonderful and really amazing hubby - Gene Quiocho for always encouraging me to keep doing what needs to be done. I also want to acknowledge a few specific people who with much prayer and great motivation, propelled me to "just do it" - Gene Quiocho Lynn Emma Shimuli Hoskins Liz Oseso Erika Price, Shelia Spencer, Amani Love, Mel Drake, Marcy Lawani, Verisedale Green Treva Reid, Lori Archie Priscilla QuiochoSandra Uwa (to name a few).

Because of this, we reach about 100 women and men daily with words of encouragement via blog, text, email and other forms of social media.

Thank you to all the readers (here in the states and abroad) and to my awesome mentor Margueritte Champion for keeping me focused and in the right direction. Lots of love !!

I appreciate everyone for all of your support over the years; you too have been a blessing to me!
Remember, "Righteous Living" is a deliberate action to live a life that pleases God not man. And that, my friends is worth living for.

Merry Christmas to you and your families.

Breaking Bread

Hey ladies,

We are a few days away from Thanksgiving day and the holidays are quickly upon us.  I want to encourage you during this time, that its not all about the food, but really about the people that are with us.  Take the time to gauge your friends and family, spend time with them, eat with them, pray for them, uphold them, listen to them and their needs, get to meet new people and invite them to dinner...etc. 

Thanksgiving is a very hard time for a lot of people that do not have family members with them, as this tends to remind them of their loss or absence of...however, as Righteous Women, we are to key into these needs and offer assistance as we can.

Remember to look out to others, and share what you have with them....and hopefully, your relationships will go beyond Thursday's dinner and will carry on for a period or a lifetime...

I pray for your families, and know that God will continue to shine upon you. 
Happy Thanksgiving week...and be blessed!

What a friend!

One of the greatest gifts God has given us as His children is His Holy Spirit!  Think about it! How many people do you know that you can call a friend, a counselor, a comforter, and advocate, an intercessor, a standby?  Do you know anyone that you can call all that? The truth is that the Holy Spirit wants to be that friend to each and every one of us...everyday!

He wants to help us have a good life....and enjoy it too.  He wants to strengthen us in hard times,  and comfort us when we're sad or grieving.  He also wants to listen to us when we need to talk...fight for us when we're weak..pray for us when we can't....I mean, who wouldn't want a friend like that!

With all that is going on in this world, He simply wants to give us the power to get through the situations we face victoriously.  He also wants to work in us to change us for the better from the inside out, so we can maintain victory in our everyday lives..

Be thankful for the Holy Spirit in your life!
