Platforms, A Shoe Experience! Opening Soon!

I'd like to recap on a column we did back in February 2010 on Living To Be Phenomenal. We showcased a group of women (see photo below) who in my opinion demonstrated living above the circumstances of life - they were and still are living to be phenomenal. We are highlighting, Mrs. TiJuana Gholson, an innovator, entrepreneur and a show and shoe stopper! In our previous column, we showcased these women because I felt they were making their marks in their churches, communities, families and amongst their friends. Well today, Mrs. TiJuana Gholson has once again done just that. She has trail blazed a dream, while living to be phenomenal, by opening her brand new shoe boutique - Platforms right here in Hampton Roads, Virginia.


Ladies Mrs. TiJuana Gholson has come face to face with a vision that was placed in her heart some many years ago. With her loving kind spirit, tenacity for life, being a lover of giving and allowing herself to be used by our Creator, she has the tools to command her destiny - walking right into it - Platforms! Platforms is a Retailer of stylish and affordable shoes and wonderful accessories. It's located in the Historical Hilton area of Newport News at 9622 Warwick Blvd., and it's scheduled to open Saturday, July 2, 2011. Let us support our sister by supporting her new boutique, Platforms - A Shoe Experience.

Ladies, what's your dream? What's your inter most desires? Where will your destiny find you?  We all have phenomenal women around us that we can bond with, learn from and count on. Women who will help you get to your destiny and help you to fulfill someone else’s destiny. I'm not here to say do what Mrs. Gholson has done, but I am here to inspire, lift up and encourage you with inspirational columns - this is why this Blog exist. So remember that which was placed in your heart so many years ago. It's not over. It's not to late and it's not finished until you say so.  Take a look at this woman (above) she looks just as any other women, right? Yes, correct, but the diference is she's Living To Be Phenomenal. Walk in your destiny! The crawling stage is over!  It's time!

You dictate your future by Living To Be Phenomenal. I'm pulling for you!  I have decided to.

What Do You Think?

Do you think that we as women need to focus some of our caring and attention on ourselves?

What affect has not caring for ourselves had on who we are as women. What changes in ourselves have we not noticed occuring because of the lack of attention for us.

Who have we turned into. What levels and depths has we as women taken ourselves through and to in order to find that perfect him.

The Book Reader's Comment

I read the book in two days. It was wonderful and well written. You hit the nail on the head as the saying goes. Many of us forget our true value and self worth as Women. We always forget ourselves because we constantly put the world ahead. It made me feel much better and appreciated for being the Woman that I am. All Women are Super Heroes! Due to our busy lives, we often forget or are preoccupied, that we forget God is our source of energy, survival, love, patience, strength, etc. I enjoyed the book and have given it to my daughters who are now Women. Wow! I look forward to reading all your materials.

It is also great that part of the proceeds go to an excellent cause. Many Single Mothers need an outlet of support. It feels great to know that someone cares, we are appreciated and there is always some form of assistance available.

Thank you for your wisdom and time as far as writing this book. You are like the Guiding Big Sister so many of us need!!!

How Do We See Our Today?

Our today always looks better than our yesterday.

If we are reading this - we are still seeing. If we have heard the commerical on this blog - we are still hearing. If we are replying to this - we still have use of our hands. If we are pondering this - we still have use of our thoughts.

We are still here! Today is still better than our yesterday, no matter what yesterday held.
