I'm Outta Here!
In honor Iyanla Vanzants new book, Peace from Broken Pieces: How to Get Through What You're Going Through, I will take the words that changed my life the most from the pages of her book Acts of Faith.
For those closest to me know that Iyanla is a personal hero of mine. I began to watch Iyanla when she was on Oprah years ago. From there I bought her book Acts Of Faith. Next to the Bible, Acts Of Faith is the most important book in my life!! In Iyanla's new book she will discuss loosing her daughter, to her husband, to her home! WOW! This Friday I will meet Ms. Iyanla Vanzant at her book signing event in Silver Spring MD. Words can't describe my joy and excite for this day. I learned from someone that it's important to tell everyone who touched your life thank you. That person who taught me that was Iyanla Vanzant. Now I get to say thank you to her!!
Here are a few great words that changed my life!
I'm outta here! It really is just that simple. There comes a point in life when you get tired of feeling, doing and looking bad. When that time comes, you move on instantly. I'm outta here is an affirmation. A statement of truth. It gives power to your decision to no longer be where you are physically, mentally and emotionally. I'm outta here puts the world on notice that you have a commitment to be better, do better, have more than you have right now. Debit-I'm outta here! Make a budget and payment plan. Stick to it. Illnesses-I'm outta here! Take responsibility, not pills, for what ails you. Find out what you are doing that is not good for you and stop! Lousy job-I'm outta here! Figure out what you like to do, want to do and what you are good at and do it. Struggle-I'm outta here! Do not beat up on yourself. Do not criticize yourself. Above all, do not limit yourself. Pick yourself up. Put yourself on a path and let yourself know I'm outta here!

Great post Natasha. Yes, we have to take charge of all aspects of our life. We must reclaim and take control.
