First, I would like to thank God the giver of life and the one from whom all blessings flow. With Gods grace, mercy, and favor nothing is impossible. I also would like to thank my husband, Russell Williamson Sr.; my children: Russell Jr., Lauren, and Courtney; my grandbabies: Leah and Russell III; and family members and friends for supporting me throughout my journey.

I especially want to thank the Affirmations with Cheryl Facebook Group. Because of your decision to affirm yourself and my witnessing the manifestations that occurred in your life, this book was birthed. I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Also, I would like to acknowledge and thank all of the frontline and essential workers that put their lives on the line to serve others daily. I want you to know that you are affirmed, valued, and loved by God! May the love of God continue to protect and cover you!

Peace, love, and blessings to all!

I was blessed to meet Cheryl Polote-Williamson last year in Atlanta when I attended my first meeting of Film Fatales (an advocacy group for female directors). It was at the private home of one of the members and I didnt know anyone, except for the friend who encouraged me to become a member. This friend also brought Cheryl along with her, since Cheryl was visiting from Dallas and had come to town to get more information on the film industry, as she was writing and producing her first movie script.

After the meeting was over, I walked out to my car, along with Cheryl and our girlfriend, and this is where the true purpose for us connecting unfolded. For some reason, Cheryl started asking me where I wanted to go with my career. She also asked about my family. I literally broke down. I was shocked at myself because I felt like nothing was wrong. I love my career, I love my family, and I love my life. But suddenly I realized that Id been carrying a lot, yet still holding it together like so many women do. By speaking with Cheryl that night and really receiving the blessings of her words and prayers, a friendship, mentorship, and purposeful relationship was sparked.

You see, though I LOVE my life and Ive experienced great successes both personally and career wise, Ive constantly felt as though I was in a state of proving myself and my valueto others, but also to myself. Cheryl saw all of that in me during a 15-minute conversation standing outside of my car. She immediately stepped right into her purpose of healing by reminding me of my worthiness and greatness. This is who Cheryl is and what she does. She shared herself with me, as she does with the world. Affirming through affirmations is her superpower!

Theres not a day that goes by that I do not speak power and love into myself by speaking affirmations. The one that I boldly say and write down in a journal EVERY DAY is I believe in me! It took me a while to say it and longer to feel it, but through my friend Cheryl, my daily meditation and affirmations, and my faith in God, I know Im equipped with all I need to succeed at whatever God has put on my mind and in my heart to do. I am worthy and I dont have to prove that to anyone. I am the gift, just like you are. Strengthen your mind and spirit by saying the daily affirmations in Soulful Affirmations . See how the words pour into your greatness EVERY DAY!

With love,

Understanding the power of words has totally shaped my life. Whether by example or experience, from childhood to now, I have been privy to the transformative energy and influence of the words from our mouth and the meditation of our heart. I watched my parents have what they say for years. I also watched them give, give, give, expecting nothing from anyone but God. For me, putting a vision, goal, or desire in sight, considering it done and confirming the acceptance of it with positive and affirming words, then giving and doing for others like I already had what I asked for was learned behavior. Im glad to have digested such a life altering principle early because many did not.

It has become my mission and my joy to teach others the authority of affirmations. I have seen businesses, families, and lives transform before my very eyes through positive words, thoughts, and actions. The belief that affirmations work is something off which I cannot be moved. As long as I continue to see the fruit and benefit of affirmations in my life and the lives of those around me, I will push affirming words as a vital part of the journey to obtaining the life you want.

We must get in a conscious habit of thinking higher than our circumstances allow. We must push the obstacles we see before us aside and dare to speak life to our desires, goals, surroundings, and ourselves. You are more than you think you are. You are greater than your issues have indicated. You are loved. You are magic. You deserve more! It is time to adopt these truths once and for all. You have to know youre a winner even if no one else does, and you must say so every day of your existence. I have purposed to be an example of the truth that creating this habit works. It has worked for me and for others time and time again. I know it will work for you.

To help you on your passage to finding out the best about and thinking the most of yourself, it is with great joy that I present Soulful Affirmations , the latest addition to the Soul Series. Soulful Affirmations brings the affirming words and soul-stirring lessons of 68 co-authors into one place for a daily guide of prayer, meditation, confessions of faith, and mindset challenges. Grow in the areas of faith, love, peace, joy, kindness, and self-awareness (including: assuredness, self-esteem, strength, power, and confidence). Develop in business, finances, and more; but, most of all, grow and develop in Gods mindfulness and love for you and be changed forever.

Soulful Affirmations is 365 days of thoughts, words, and actions that will change the way you see yourself and life. It is my prayer that you join me, and the thousands of others who have discovered the power of affirmations, and allow these impactful and awakening lessons to flush out the negativity and excuses and pour into you new life, positivity, and all the reasons you deserve to win.
