UNRIVALED POSITIVE IMPACT FEATURE OF THE WEEK

Monica Carter
Author and Motivational Speaker 
Debuts Her New Book  "Celibate, Fabulous, and Fearless"

Monica Carter is swiping the nation by storm with her new book that is instilling positivity and hope for both men and women. She shares her testimony and takes her readers along the journey towards faith and a righteous 
                               life.
 Read her full interview below.

Q1: Welcome Monica Carter! Tell us a little bit about your novel “Celibate, Fabulous, and Fearless”, and what inspired you to write this novel?

A: Just the name “Celibate” makes it unique.  Everything is about sex these days and, I want women to know you can be celibate and have values, and men can be fearless. My book is much more than just about Celibacy. It is about adultery, unholy soul ties, relationships, unforgiveness, benefits of living for God as a single or married couple, it’s encouraging to persevere through your pain, obstacles, tragedies and disappointments.  How we shouldn’t display our body to anyone other than our spouses.  It’s not just for Christians; it can be a benefit to everyone in their daily lives, like a self-help book.  The book will empower, gives people faith and constantly shows you that you have to persevere through any situation.

‘Celibate& Fabulous’ is for women and ‘Celibate and Fearless” is for men.  There is a male and woman shoe on the cover of my book and the goal is for men and women to go to heaven and walk thru those pearly gates.  The cover has pearly gates and there is a mansion in heaven. I have always journaled all my life and my initial book was going to be called “Finally Mr. Right”, so I changed chapter 10 to “Finally Mr. Right”, because  my wedding did not move forward in 2013 and I didn’t have desire to launch the book. But I was at church one day in February 2014 and Pastor KC said someone needs to “Answer the Call”.  I didn’t have the cover title or vision of the cover and GOD gave it to me in a matter of thirty days.  This is all ordained by GOD not me, because I didn’t even have the desire to launch a book after my heartbreak

Q2: What message do you hope to get across to your readers?

A: Putting my life journey and walk with Christ on display has shown many obstacles, including me being shot and almost losing my life, being in an abusive marriage, and just last year almost left at the altar.  GOD never said we would not go thru trials and tribulations, but when you focus on JESUS and put all your cares in his hand, He promises to bring you through.  As TD Jakes says; ‘your blessing is in your breaking” and you can’t grow unless you go through trials and tribulations. I want men and women to become closer to God, be inspired and empowered to live for him. I have added scriptures to many of my life experiences as it relates to family, fornication, the church, friends, relationships, etc.  I have already received so many testimonies from people who have been suicidal, depressed, discouraged, and after hearing me speak and reading my book they say their lives have been changed and no longer are in those distressed places.  This is the entire goal for GOD to get all the glory, to bring men and women closer to GOD, inspire, encourage and motivate all ages.  So many people are hurting and it comes out in their behavior (attitude, relationships, etc).  If you can sustain from sex before marriage, you can definitely be faithful to your spouse after marriage.  Celibacy resembles self-control, as one of the ‘Fruits of the Spirits’!  Do you allow sex to control you/mind or do you control it?

Q3: Do you plan to release similar types of novels in the future? 

A: Yes, I love to write and I have some more books to launch.  My passion is inspiring and motivating people through Gods words.  My next book will not be about Celibacy, but it will be in the relationship category.  This topic will live on forever, because so many people are still trying to figure out how to make a relationship last.  The answers are very simple and I talk about relationships in my current book, but stay tuned for more to come to enlighten #TeamMsCarter.

Q4: Do you have any other upcoming projects or events that everyone should know about? 

My next book signing will be Sunday, December 14, 2014 at the Beachfront Bazaar Lounge at 1900 E. Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA  90802.  We’re planning a National Tour in 2015 and much more.

The 3rd Annual Holiday Care Package Drive

UNRIVALED POSITIVE IMPACT FEATURE 

OF THE WEEK

TONYA BOLDEN-BALL

FOUNDER OF RENEWED PERSPECTIVES, LLC

Tonya Bolden-Ball is a strong, caring, and compassionate woman when it comes to paying it forward. She has tapped into her resources and support system to help make the holiday season a little better for the less fortunate by organizing her annual holiday care package drive.

Read her full interview below.

Q: Mrs. Tonya Bolden-Ball! Tell us about your upcoming Holiday Care Package Drive, and what initially motivated you to organize something of this nature?

A: The 2014 Community Care 3rd Annual Holiday Care Package Drive is scheduled for December 14th, 3 pm - 5pm at the Northgate Mall parking(corner of Castille and Moss st). In the event of inclement weather, the event will take place in the Transcom Building. My initial motivation for the event came when I realized that every year during the holiday season there are numerous community drives that focus on collecting either toys or food. Years ago, I ran a homeless shelter for women and children. As many of the shelter residents became self-sufficient and transition into the community, many of them would not have enough funds to purchase items they would need beside food. I have been blessed to have such a great support system and I just feel the need to pay it forward and bless others. I have a great group of volunteers from both Northside High School and University of Louisiana at Lafayette who also have a desire to help others.

 Q: What is the ultimate goal that you hope to achieve with this event?

A: The ultimate goal is to spread some holiday cheer to the families and individuals of my Lafayette community. I want those who receive the care packages to understand that we in the Lafayette community do care about them. No one is exempt from dealing with hard times and no one should have to deal with hard times alone.

 Q: Will the items collected go towards a specific group, or to all families in need that you are able to serve?

A: This event is done primarily with the individuals and families of the Lafayette community in mind. Income levels do not determine who receives a care package....just a need and availability of care packages. Some of the care packages will be given to the Lafayette Fire Department to assist those who have lost their belongings to a fire.

Q: This is an annual event in Lafayette, LA, do you plan to organize similar events in other cities? 

A: My current focus is serving my Lafayette community. If there is a need in other communities for such a project as this one, I would be glad to offer assistance with organizing one.

Q: Where can those who want to keep up with your movement and other future events go to stay updated?    

A: My facebook page at Renewed Perspectives LLC or www.renewedperspectivesllc.com. For more information, I can be reached at holidaycarepackage@gmail.com or 337-255-5151.
