How to Turn a Negative Thought to Positive
By: Cece Hymes
I try my hardest to stay positive. Sometimes I do have negative thoughts but then I try to call a friend for uplifting, or read a positive book, affirmations help also. We can’t help that sometimes those negative thoughts come but we can try to change them before we think too deep into it. I wanted to share you tips on turning negative thoughts to positive:
· Ask yourself, What Would You I Say to a Friend
· Breathe
· Talk to someone who is uplifting
· Write About It
· Think of a Happy Moment
· Read Something Positive
· Smile
· Surround Yourself with Positive People
Hope some of these tips help you when you are thinking negatively. I always say when you think positively then positive things will come your way. Manifesting is always great. Everyone needs positivity in their life. Hope that this helps when you start thinking negatively.
Remember when you think positive thoughts positive things are coming your way.

How to Bring Your Dreams to Reality
By: Cece Hymes
When I think of this topic, I think of how I am turning my dreams to reality. Some people’s dreams are to win a million bucks, to own a home, to travel the world, etc…. The thing is nothing is just handed to us we have to get out and work for it. Here are some tips on bringing dreams to reality:
· Work Hard
· Don’t Make Excuses
· Be Willing to Fail
· Dream Big
· Take Breaks When You Need Them
· Visualize Your Goals
· Don’t Be Discouraged by Small Setbacks
· Use Your Community
Now these tips will keep you on the right path to turning your dreams to reality. I have been dreaming of owning my own business and getting it to be all around the world. Every day I have been meeting different people in different countries to get my name and work where they are. It is a process but if you are consistent and work hard your dreams are going to come to reality.
One other thing I want to share. Believe in yourself. If you believe in you and your vision and stick to it. I know that those dreams will turn into reality. Don’t give up and make sure to write things down. If you can see it, then you can watch it become reality.
I want you to get a sheet of paper and whatever your dreams are, put it on that paper. Then next, visualize it. Get to work. Do one thing at a time. I am huge at manifesting. I believe anything you put your mind to you can do it. You Got This.

Book: What Looks Like Crazy On An Ordinary Day
Author: Pearl Cleage
By: Cece Hymes
This is the second book I have read by this author. Both books are really good. This book was about a lady named Ava Johnson who was from Michigan but had moved to Atlanta to start her career and make money. She made good doing hair. Now as we all know Atlanta is full of parties, celebrities and having a great time. Some years later she is doing great and finds out she is H.I.V Positive, she wants to do right and tell all the guys she ever slept with in the last couple of years to get checked. She mailed all of them letters and one of their girlfriends came to her place of work and went off.
Ava decided to go stay with her sister in Michigan for some months before she goes to San Francisco. She goes back to her hometown and sees it different than what it used to be. It’s a lot of young ladies pregnant, a lot of young people on drugs and seeing that the town went down. Her sister helps out with the youth and tries to educate them in life.
There was a baby born but the mom was on drugs, the mother’s family was on drugs also, so Ava’s sister decided to take care of the baby. Try to give her love and the best home for the baby. Ava sees an old friend and they get close. They share their past and life experiences. They accept each other for who they are. They all become close and try to help the community. It’s a pastor and his wife in the neighborhood that are not great pastors that try to do bad things to Ava and her sister.
So much transparent between the community, a lot of robbing, the older folks being scared, The young people on drugs being evil doing things they had no business doing. The pastor’s wife does something bad and gets the baby to go back to the family who really do not want the child but are doing it for the money. They hurt the child and ran. It’s sad what people do when they are on drugs. It’s sad how the mindsets are of people in today’s society. I like that Ava is honest about what she has and doesn’t want to put others in danger.
As I read this book, I feel sad for everyone in the book even though good things happen. It’s like the real world, you have to be safe, anything can happen. As women we need to learn self-defense, safe sex, and more. I have a women’s group that I will be working on adding these kinds of classes for us to take.
Make sure to check out the book and let me know what you think. Also Join Cece Book Club on Instagram and Facebook.
Lessons I Learned in my, 20’s, 30’s, and now 40’s
By: Cece Hymes
Lessons I learned in my 20’s:
Lessons I learned in these times was being a parent. That was the main lesson in my 20’s. The life of really being an adult. Paying bills, working, college, and figuring out life raising kids. That’s a lot in your 20’s. It was hard, but it was a learning process. Everyday was a learning process. You had to go with the routine of working, coming home and making sure the kids are good. It starts over the same process over and over again. These were the 20’s for me. For most people it was living life, going to campus parties, having fun and traveling. For me it was work, college, and parenting. Those were my Lessons in my 20’s.
Lessons learned in 30’s
Now in my 30’s still parenting but I travelled more. I started to get out and see the world. Invest in a business and save. I learned more about credit, loans, starting a business and finding my passion. I moved to different places and learned different things. I enjoyed life a little more. I felt like in the 30’s I was wiser, stronger, and learning to be at peace. I found my passion and tried new foods and went to events. I opened my eyes to see more of life. We have a lot that went on in the 30’s, kids growing up, mom passed away, just going through more life struggles but learning the grieving part and being at peace in life. Trying to be more positive and do more in the community.
Lessons learned in 40’s
I am just starting my 40’s club. So far Life is bringing me to do more for women and the book club. I know in my 40’s I want to learn more about culture, community work and building a business. I want to also get into ownership. Hopefully I will have my own store where people can come into and also want to make money every day. I am going to work hard on learning the business part in my 40’s. Still Travel and learn about different parts of the world.
Let me know some of your life lessons.
