It's Our Birthday Celebration!

By -

It's our BIG day!  Double Portion Inspiration  is a year old and we are ecstatic.  We wanted to say thanks for your love and support.  We are amazed at all God has done through us.  No matter where we go, we are encouraged by our faithful readers stories of inspiration and joy.  We are honored that you take time to read the blog at work, home, in the airport or on the baseball field.

What began as a simple way to share our writing style with potential editors and publishing companies, grew into an opportunity for us to share our triumphs, trials, and lessons from our journey through life.  At the beginning, we weren't even sure what it meant to be a blogger, but with a surrendered heart, we followed God and He activated our greatness!

Here are just a few of our accomplishments this year:

    I rejoice with you on your first birthday. I met you both last year at the FCWC; it was my first year, too. I remember you as the Gator Girls. You've inspired me so much that I'm trying to set up my own blogspot. Writing is one thing--modern technology another.So, thanks so much for being such great role models. May the knowledge of our Lord's grace surround and abound as you continue to serve him as you do.

My Top 5 Tips To Stay Fit Without a Gym!

It's Fun Friday and I'm sharing some great workout tips.  Fortunately I've never struggled with working out (it's the good eating that always throws me for a loop).  I've always enjoyed going to the gym. So you can imagine when I moved to my rural community I was stressed with the fact that there wasn't a gym nearby.  Needless to say, I had to get creative on staying fit.  My business travel schedule, community and church obligations didn't make finding time to work out any easier.  I realized that my creative juices would have to flow on a alternative way to stay fit.  Here are some of my fun, no gym needed workouts: Walk/run intervals through the neighborhood Cardiovascular exercise is the foundation of most of my work- outs.  The light posts in my neighborhood provide a great way to walk & run in equal distance from the back to the front of the subdivision.  I will normally walk, jog, or sprint in intervals between each light post.

Take A Lesson From Ants

I walked into my house and a portion of my floor was covered with little, black ants.  I instantly knew the kids had dropped some sticky substance on the tile floor. That mess attracted what looked like an entire nest of these little, pesky insects.  They were all moving around in unison enjoying what was probably going to be their lunch or dinner. Ironically on Sunday, a dear friend gave me a wonderful scripture about the lesson we can learn from ants.  Really, I thought, how can I possibly learn anything from something that annoys me so much.  I guess you know where I'm going with this.  There is a lesson to learn from ants about efficiency and productivity.   The ants didn't waste any time moving into action to retrieve whatever mess my boys left on the floor.  Not only that, they called all of their "ant" friends to help them in this insurmountable task. Are you a slacker?  Do you like to procrastinate?  Do you constantly have the attitude, "I'll ju

I Am Raising America's Most Hated...

BEWARE:  This is not your normal blog post It is not easy raising children.  But raising one of our country's most hated members of society brings more complication into the equation.  Let me clarify for you...raising a black male in America IS scary.  The world easily looks at color on a male as a deterrent to any intellectual ability.  Most men of color are viewed with the ability to only perform one thing - entertainment.  It could be a stand up comedian, singer, runner, actor, football or basketball player. Black males, unfortunately, only see the world through limited lenses.  Other races, ethnicities and gender can view the world with a vast amount of opportunities, but not if you are a black male.  You walk into a room or a packed elevator and people grab their handbags.  You walk next to their car and they lock their doors.  It's the overwhelming amount of negative images that have plagued and are fed into mainstream homes via our tv, social media and newspapers.
