Press Release- KC Ford's 2011 How2Conference

 

Kc Ford is the creator of the 'How-To' Conference for Small, Minority and Disadvantaged Businesses. http://www.howtoconference.com

 

 

Frustrated with conferences that herald the millions of procurement dollars available for small businesses without much detail on how to tap into that market, business owner KC Ford of GettingThere4Him, Inc., founded the How2Conference to provide such details. This October marks the 7th conference to be held at the Comfort Inn in Bowie. These conferences are designed to help better prepare small, minority, and disadvantaged businesses bidding for prime and subcontracting opportunities with government agencies and commercial businesses seeking their services or products. Unlike many conferences where you may get just an overview on a topic, conference speakers have shared information of real value to attendees, empowering them to move forward in pursuit of available opportunities. You won't find a better venue to get answers that help propel your business to succeed in government and commercial contracting.

Venue: Comfort Inn, 4500 Crain Highway,, Bowie, Maryland, United States

Angelia Robinson- Official Music Video for Who R U?


 

Inspirational Recording Artist, Angelia Robinson, who is a spokesperson for the Diva By Cindy Brand as well as a Sunshine Promises Board Member really put her hands to the work on this day. Her music video "Who R U?" which touches the issue of being judged based on your past has been changing the lives of millions since its' debut. It was only fitting that it become a part of this very special day in order to bring even more empowerment to these women, many of whom have had their self-worth stripped from them. "I have worked in the human services field for over 20 years and at My Sister's Place Lodge for 9 years. I can say, I have never been to an event that did not parade the mentally challenged, the mentally ill, or the homeless; as these poor people let us help them. No one felt demeaned, talked down to, glared at, or pointed at because the circumstances of their lives lead them to where they are now. The greatest gift the ladies feel they received was being special and being loved; being loved unconditionally. " says Linda Day, Staff Coordinator at The Sisters Place Lodge of the feedback from the 1st Diva Project. We intend to keep this very same spirit with every Diva Project.

 The Diva Project May 2011


I would like to personally thank you for taking the time to read about and even consider supporting my vision to help women. This is my passion but I could never make it happen alone. God may be my source but he puts his people in position to help execute HIS purpose and plan for all of our lives.

 

Love and light,

 

Cindy

The Diva Project interview with Cindy Tawiah

THE VISION



The Daughter of Diplomats, Cindy Tawiah, was born and raised in Ghana, West Africa. Pushed to pursue a career in medicine by her family, Cindy got her first taste of manufacturing when a chemistry teacher gave her a helping hand for a project. "He said, 'I'd like to teach you a practical application; I want to show you how to make lipstick and nail polish.' " It was then that the beauty seed was planted. Before that seed could grow Cindy, followed her parents' wishes and went on to receive a Bachelors degree and career in nursing. Still, something was missing in Cindy's life. "I was disillusioned, depressed. I prayed for a sign. If someone upsets today, it's a sign for me to leave, I wanted to leave and open up a hair salon." That morning as Cindy, went about her duties. She saw that sign, and immediately drafted her resignation letter. But the path to Cindy's dream wasn't easy. With no formal training or experience Cindy, set out to open her first salon. She was turned away from several different banks and multiple rental properties, but she persevered. Cindy, finally found someone who was willing to take a chance on her. In February of 2004, she began reaching out to victims of domestic violence in an effort to renew their sense of self-worth and self-esteem. Partnering with two local shelters, Cindy brought 40 women to her salon, where they received new winter coats (thanks to donations from community), a home-cooked meal and a full day of beauty, complete with facials, hairstyles and manicures. Cindy felt satisfied with the direction in which her life was headed, but at the end of 2006 she noticed she had quite a turnover rate in her salon. Unsure of what to do, she turned to her friend for advice. "He said, 'You need to find your purpose' and I thought "what is he talking about?" My passion is women and beauty. My purpose," I thought was my passion was beauty products. In February of 2007, Cindy, put together a plan of action. She wanted to create a line that was natural and alcohol free. That's when the Diva By Cindy, hair-care line was born. "I wanted them to be products of integrity, something I would use and stand by, something that would empower women; Hence the name, 'Diva.' "

Redemption
What is this word redemption? And what does it stand for? We will take a look at it to see how it affects all of our lives. The Webster's Dictionary states that Redemption is 1. an act of redeeming or the state of being redeemed. 2. deliverance; rescue. 3. Theology . deliverance from sin; salvation. 4. atonement for guilt.
 
So that lets us know that we are forgiven of our sins. Well the question I want to ask is this? Do we in society forgive those that have done things that we consider to be wrong whether it effects us or not? The only person that can answer that question is you.
 
Can a person be redeem that is the question? Some might say yes they can through counseling or some other form of treatment. The people that I am going to talk about have done somethings that are to be considered wrong in GODS eye sight as well as man.s eye sights.

The first person I want to talk about is Stan "Tookie" Williams. Mr. Williams was one of the co-founders of a gang called the "CRIPS" they became one of the largest gangs in America. Mr. Williams was convicted of murder. We are not here to judge Mr. Williams one way or the other, but what we are looking at is the fact that while on death row he wanted to effectively make a change in young people lives. Mr. Williams wrote books for children in a effort to keep them from making the same mistakes that he did. Mr. Williams also was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, and he was the only person ever to be nominated on death row. They also made a movie about Mr. Williams and it is entitled "Redemption". Did Mr. Williams redeem himself? Only GOD can answer that question.

Below you will see pictures of Mr. Williams and a clip from the movie.

Redemption Movie Trailer
The next person that we want to talk about is Mr. Greg Yance. Mr. Yance was a dope dealer that got caught selling drugs in Chicago. Mr. Yance was convicted and sentence of this crime. We are not judging Mr. Yance one way or the other. By this being Mr. Yance first time in jail they gave him and option of attending a boot camp for first time offenders. Mr. Yance while in the boot camp was trying to redeem himself when the boot camp had to go to a small town and help the people of this town that were putting sand bags on the river banks trying to keep the river from over flowing into their town.
 
Mr. Yance went onto finish the program and when he had been released he was working hard to try and find a job, but no one would hire him. His friends were trying to talk Mr. Yance into selling drugs again but he refused. He also witness the murder of his best friend right in front of him. After several months of trying to find a job, he finally found one and has been there ever since. They also made a movie about him and it is entitled, "First Time Felon", you can view the clip that is below. Did Mr. Yance redeem himself? Only GOD can answer that question.

First Time Felon Movie Trailer
The final person that we want to talk about is Paul the Apostle in the bible. Saul which was his first name breathed "threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord" (Acts 9:1). Saul's hostility toward the Christians was because of his commitment to protecting God's honor. Later, he wrote how he "was violently persecuting the church of God" because of the zeal he had for his religion (Gal. 1:13-14).

Then something amazing happened. Saul headed for the city of Damascus, looking for Christians, intending to bring them back to Jerusalem to be tried for blasphemy, perhaps hoping they would all meet the same fate as Stephen. On the road, Saul was blinded by a flashing light and then came face to face with Jesus. "He asked, 'Who are you, Lord?' The reply came. 'I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting' " (Acts 9:3-9).

Saul was undone, rendered speechless and blind for several days. He recovered, but was never the same again. On the Damascus road and after Saul had his life turned completely around, symbolized by his new identity, Paul the apostle. His old world came apart.

However, because Paul did sincerely want to do God's will, he was able to receive God's direct revelation to him. He came to follow his new understanding of God's will with full commitment. That Paul had hated Jesus, also Paul came to believe, was in fact the fullest revelation of his God. Jesus was not a blasphemer, but instead was the model for genuine faithfulness to the God of Israel.

This revolution in Paul's worldview led to his transformation away from a zealous and violent persecutor of people he considered to be heretics. He became a man of peace. He remained intensely committed to serve God, but realized that the service God desires is to unconditionally love others, not to seek to do them harm when they offend his belief system.

So the question I ask is this? Can a person be redeemed? And the answer to that is yes. If they truly repent of their sins. In GOD eyes their is just sin, he has no distinction on whether it small or big it is just sin.

Prison Stats
According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) 7,225,800 people at yearend 2009 were on probationparole — about 3.1% of adults in the U.S. resident population. 2,292,133 were incarcerated in U.S. prisons and jails at yearend 2009.


Love
 We say that we love Jesus. I want to ask a question? In the six months how many people outside of your normal social circle have you talk to about Jesus. It is easy to talk to those that we feel comfortable with. In Mathew 28: 16-20 it says, 16. Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17. And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying , All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo , I am with you alway  , even unto the end of the world. Amen.

This is our charge to be witnesses unto him and we are suppose to do this out of love for Jesus. Well their is a way that you can witness to those that are lock up in prison by sending them a book to read. I have a list of the prisoners with their information. You can go to secure site link at the bottom of page and you will be able to tell us were you want book sent.

Deeper

Deeper

By Nicole Michelle A

8466464259?profile=original

 

Take me deeper

Take me deeper into Your chambers

Where I may find You,

Where I may find You

in all your glory and splendor.

 

Your arms are stretched out wide,

waiting to be embraced by mine.

Your eyes are twinkling with joy.

I have made the better choice,

to abandon my distractions

to sup with you.

 

In Spirit and in truth,

Take me deeper,

Take me deeper into your heart,

to where you are.

To the movement of your Holy, Holy, Holy Spirit

where rivers of living water flow

from your throne of grace,

 

where your healing touch is a regular occurrence.

 

In the secret place,

in the quiet place with You.

Where I may know you more,

I open up the door of my heart.

You are welcome here.

 

My soul thirsts for you.

My hunger is only satisfied by You, Jesus.

 

So mysterious, so marvelous,

So wonderful, so beautiful!

You are the object of my affections.

 

I am a tender reed, growing toward the Son.

Your light, miraculous light, is warming me.

It’s your love.

You are drawing me and I am bending gently

to the winds of Your Spirit,

Changing my direction,

leading me to you.

 

A display of your splendor,

Robed in your righteousness,

Clothed in Your holiness,

sanctified by faith and grace.

 

I am a lily in your garden,

Beautiful and yours,

Cared for and esteemed valuable,

redeemed for Your Praise, for Your pleasure.

 

Deeper,

Take me deeper into the sea of your glorious love.

Where I forget my past,

Where my wounds are washed clean,

My sins are forgotten.

Your waves of love overtake me

until You are all I see…

nothing else.

Peace overwhelms me,

the music of your Spirit communing with mine.

Swimming into a sparkling abyss

where You are my every breath.

 

Deeper in Your Spirit,

Deeper in Your Spirit,

Holy, Holy, Holy Spirit.
