On Saturday, November 1, 2014 I had the pleasure of attending “Breaking the Chains” Empowerment Workshop hosted by Michelle Waters.  The speakers were Dawn Dunn, Pastor Kristi Whichard, Shirley T. Burke and workshop host, Michelle Walters.

The women in attendance laughed, cried and related with what was shared.  “Hope” was in the building at Stonehenge Golf &  Country Club on Saturday.

Take Aways:

“We must teach people how to WIN, BUILD and SEND… We must learn to put Christ first in all we do. Our instructions should be to win people (souls), build them up, and then send them out to do the same thing.”  ~ Dawn Dunn

“Life is about seasons. … You need to make sure you have a solid structure for when the wind starts to blow…. Get control of your “self-talk” – You are what you say.”  “If You Say So” ~ Pastor Kristi Whichard

“It doesn’t matter what you don’t have; it’s what you’re willing to do. You must have a determined mindset to be successful….You must be willing to learn….to listen…to help… You must not give up. I’m not lucky…I sowed seeds.” ~ Michelle Walters

“The day you were born, God Smiled. When you love yourself, you don’t hurt people.  Give to others what you need yourself. You matter RIGHT NOW! ~ Shirley T. Burke
