Meet Ebony Robert, founder and CEO of Ebony’s Beauty Hair and Skin Care, whose handcrafted all-natural hair and skincare products are now available in Walmart stores nationwide. Ebony, a mother of five boys, launched the business two years ago, but says that her love for the beauty industry started at a very young age.
Based in Lafayette, Louisiana, Ebony built her business from the ground up and continues to fulfill her dream of being a woman entrepreneur. Last year, she grossed
One day, as I was thinking of some different areas that frustrated me about my life, I came to a startling conclusion. Many of my so-called problems were simply a lack of self-discipline. I made a little list of improvements to incorporate. Maybe something here will help you, too. These may seem
oversimplified, but sometimes I need to get back to simplicity!

When I work during the week, I am forced to comply with this. But as a teacher,

Michelle Obama is continuing to reflect on her time as First Lady, especially in a current moment when racial justice has reached an international spotlight. Ms. Obama particularly recounted her experience with racism, both inside and outside of the White House.
The “Becoming” author and public speaker gave details on the latest episode of The Michelle Obama Podcast. On the episode, she chatted with her longtime friends — Kelly Dibble, Denielle Pemberton-Hea
Throughout 2006 I decided to do a study on Proverbs 31 via a blog. It was partly an exercise to practice using the software and I'd always wanted to explore this book in greater details so combining the two seemed an ideal way to do it. I had no idea that the blog would end up being a very popular one which still draws in thousands of visitors every month a year after I began writing it.
During the course of doing this study it became clear to me that the Proverbs 31 Woman a
There is not a marriage counselor, self-help book, or marriage retreat that can save a marriage as much as the Bible. God’s Word is equipped to provide help for whatever circumstances we face while married.
Here are ten verses that can help to save and heal your struggling marriage. They are verses to remind us what love is and what God has created in your union with your spouse.
“Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not pu
I love the movie Pretty Woman. I have seen this movie countless times, and each time I look at it, I get a fresh outlook on life. It’s like a modern upgrade of Cinderella. The story focuses on a young woman living a degraded lifestyle and a rich business man who offers to pay her to be his date at elite business and social functions.
In one of the scenes, Vivian, the lead character, struts into an elegant ladies’ boutique on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, California. I
"Wisdom is the principal thing"
Therefore get wisdom. " Proverbs 4:7 a-b. New King James Version. (NKJV)
Since creation, the roles of wisdom in the affairs of mankind cannot be over-flogged. Both in the life of a man and a woman who are created in the image and likeness of God their Creator. Confirm this in Genesis 1:26.
As a woman, it is not a difficult thing to know whether or not you are wise. You only need to look at yourself closely well and ask yourself salient quest
Woman, lady, female, miss, Mrs., or madam, whatever you title yourself to be you are a woman or are you? What is the true meaning of a woman? What is she created to be? What are her true qualities and characteristics?
God's created plan for a woman is a spectacular and phenomenal being. She is filled with inner beauty and grace. For she knows that her exquisiteness lies not in skin, hair, figure or attire but in the treasures of her Spirit. She is as her creator, wise, glori
Here are 7 suggestions to take your summer to the next level!
1. Volunteer. Walk dogs, drive food for Meals on Wheels, babysit for free for a single mom, ask around how you can serve those in your community!
2. Take a break from social media. Help center and refocus yourself by going offline for a while.
3. Try out different spiritual disciplines. Here are a few of them to give a go: prayer, confession, meditation, fasting, worship, study, rest, solitude, giving, serving.
4. Go somewhere y

Although I am sure there are more, here are 34 things the LORD showed me that a Righteous Woman (a righteous bride, a daughter of Yahweh, the King of kings) does:
Refreshes others by sharing the goodness of God with them in the way she lives, what she says, and what she does and doesn’t do, according to His Word
Reveals the Truth to others--first by living it, then by speaking it or other means, as the LORD leads
Rejects falsehood
Returns to the LORD and helps others to
YOU HAVE EVERYTHING INSIDE OF YOU TO WIN! Are you sick of hearing those words without a map for HOW, a navigation system for WHERE, or a smart phone app for WHEN? Consider Skylar Kierra Diggins, third pick for the 2013 WNBA draft. While she may not appear how you expect her to, she was chosen. Not only was she chosen; there's more behind her beauty, brilliance, and boldness than you would know. She is literally "changing the game", as a star basketball player.
Skylar Kierra Diggins is nicked n
"And Rebecca lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the Camel." Gen 24:64. King James Version (KJV).
To alight is to descend from a train, bus, or other forms of transport. In ancient times, animals were used as a form of transport. At the time, only those who were comfortable and were able to afford to buy it and had as many as they could afford. Such people are in their own different classes.
An ass or camel was a common means of transport in cer
Sometimes, your fears may overwhelm you to the point that you feel like giving up. When this happens, the next step is to put your faith in God. Using the help of God can make a big difference in overcoming your fears, anxieties, and depression.
The one source that a woman should use as a basis in managing their fears and anxieties is using God as a basis in dealing with their fears. The power of God is the one power that is stronger than your fears and anxieties. Also, God
I can still remember the moment when I came face-to-face with a real Proverb 31 woman for the first time.
I was a struggling baby Christian, trying to figure out how I, a recovering daughter of the women's movement, was ever going to learn to be quiet and subservient.
After all, that is what a Christian woman is - Right?
But, then I met her.
Sure, I had met other Christian women in church. But, there was something different about her.
She wasn't a church mouse. But, she

My favorite Mothers' Day scripture is found in Isaiah 49:15-16. Here the Lord personifies His love for His people as a nursing mother.
"Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands;" (KJV)
What an awesome expression of love. In its context, Israel is in captivity to her enemies as a result of her disobedience to Go

Our inner beauty is from God. We have His love, compassion, power and heart within us. It's up to us as mighty women of God, to activate these unfailing(DNA) traits. We are virtuous women, our price is far above rubies. You can't put a price on God's daughters. We have the mind of Christ! The joy of the Lord is our strength. Our roar is as the Lion of Judah. We see others and ourselves through the eyes of God. We thank you heavenly Father for graciously giving us our inner be
When did it become an 'every mother for herself' world? Didn't it used to be a sisterhood of women raising their children together once upon a time?
I think often of what that would be like. To have the women in your life around you supporting you and befriending you. And how you would do the same for them. I imagine children playing while their moms sit together giggling about what silly thing their husband said to them this morning. Or how little Johnny got in trouble
