Ask Dr. Jeanette Success On “The Way”: ‘I Am Powerful! I Give You Power!’

Dr. Jeanette ParkerDecember 20, 2018

So you might say, “Who are you to give power?” And I say, “Yes! I can give power.” “How?” We are empowered by words! Speak words and decree success. What is power? Well, it comes in different forms. Some people vent negativism, bad energy could be friends, relatives speak words of power which may not be inspiring words, but at the same time they may be words of truth inspirational, spoken in well meaning, but may not be heard; may be heard and twisted into believing that the words are not truthful but meant to be demeaning.

Wendy’s Window– ‘The Art of the Handwritten Note’

Wendy GladneyDecember 6, 2018
