6/10/13 Tracy Strawberry

Tracy Strawberry has a true passion to equip individuals to live out a life of freedom and purpose in Christ. Tracy is an ordained minister, traveling extensively sharing the gospel truth and the transforming power of the Word of God. Her powerful but practical systematic teachings outline the steps of how a person can achieve change and live a victorious life through the power of God and actively engaging in the process of change.

 The Painful Past
After years of dysfunctional relationships, addictions and defeated living Tracy discovered her identity in Christ. “I could never break free from my behaviors or my emotions. By the time I was 30 years of age I had divorced twice, was a single mother of 3 beautiful boys but lost in a lifestyle of addiction and a host of unhealthy relationships. I was broken and lost. I was living a lifestyle of defeat that I so desperately wanted to escape. I tried everything it seemed to turn my life around and to change. Nothing seemed to work. Change began to seem impossible for me and I started to lose hope.”

The Victorious Life
One day, Tracy’s life would change dramatically. She finally surrendered to help. She found Jesus Christ, The Savior, The Healer and The Lord over her life. “I was clean and sober for a year and did not know Jesus. I was tormented by my emotions, thoughts, desires and circumstances and was on my way back into that horrible life. A Christian woman invited me to a prayer meeting and introduced me to Jesus. From that day forward I began to grow, heal and my life COMPLETELY changed. My soul has been saved, my addictions conquered, my emotions tamed and my mind trained to be a power house of successful and prosperous thoughts.” It did not happen over-night and it was not easy to change; but my entire life has truly been transformed by surrendering my entire being over to Christ and living my life according to The Word of God (The Bible).

The Purpose
I live in the Divine Healing and Transforming Power of God and have a passion to lead others into that same Power! It is my purpose, desire and passion to teach others how to overcome defeated living, live the Victorious Life and to live out their destiny in Christ.

Life Today
Tracy cherishes her family life with her husband and their 9 amazing children. As ordained ministers, Darryl and Tracy travel extensively preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to restore people back to God and for all to experience the transforming power of The Word of God (The Bible)in every area of their lives.

6/3/13-  Steve Fugate- Love Life

Steve Fugate is sharing a positive message as he walks across America for the second time sharing his story and how he has used a tragic event to share a message to LOVE LIFE!!!

5/27/13 Lisa Scott-CEO of The AchievablesI have now completed my “Joel Kody Walk” across America, having covered more than 30,000 miles and crossing the U.S. six times. In my previous walks, I’ve encountered numerous random acts of kindness, it’s been wonderful, extremely enlightening, and rewarding. My walking isn’t as easy as it was 12 years ago when I started at age 53. The ground seems to be much harder and more difficult to sleep on. My legs are becoming indifferent to my request to walk at least 20 miles per day! I stay determined to spread the suggestion, “LOVE LIFE” as a mindset that can most definitely enable us ALL to get past ALL adversity in our lives.

The completion of my final (Joel Kody Walk) walk into Montclair Village of Oakland, California on Saturday February 25, 2012 was a very heart warming event for me. I was truly touched by the wonderful individuals who joined us along the way to help celebrate the finish of 30,000 miles of walking. And the people waiting for me at the finish line were equally enthusiastic in their cheering and congratulating. Libby Schaaf, counsel person for the city of Oakland presented me with a key to the city and read a proclamation to me showing appreciation from the City of Oakland for my “LOVE LIFE” endeavors:

A COMMENDATION HONORING STEVE FUGATE FOR HIS COMMITMENT TO LIFE AFFIRMATION AND COMMUNITY SERVICE

 WHEREAS, Stephen Fugate has spent the last twelve years talking to people across this nation, with the resounding message to Love Life, and

 WHEREAS, Stephen Fugate has spoken to individuals and large groups about loss of life and suffering, comforting countless people through the most difficult life-shattering times, and

WHEREAS, Stephen Fugate has chosen to end his most recent national walk in Montclair Village of Oakland, California because of our city’s support for the “Love Life” message, therefore be it

RESOLVED: that on behalf of the City of Oakland, I Libby Schaaf, commend Stephen Fugate for his enduring commitment and service to all people on this twenty fifth day of February, 2012  

The local Oakland media coverage was picked up by national news media, USA Today and CNN’s HLN.com Both FOX NEWS and CBS affiliates across the nation broadcast my story.

The Oakland, California fundraiser event at tha Montclair Bistro in the Village of Montclair, was a blast!! Those that attended were very enthusiastic and responsive to the “LOVE LIFE” message. NBC, Channel 3, The Bay Area was there.

Keeping them on the field she feels is a positive influence on them to stay healthy and drug free.  Due to thousands of parents and children expressing great enthusiasm over her unique and inspiring methods through the years, Scott is not only a powerful influence and mentor but was inspired to write, produce and create this impactful and much needed series “THE ACHIEVABLES^®“. She has created a unique niche by sharing her powerful and inspiring words in a fun cool way that seem to be penetrating not only children but adults. Children all over relate and take a proactive stance using her positive rhyming messages. Being an all around athlete herself Scott believes… “It starts from “within!”, She also knows her experience as a star athlete has reinforced her belief that the more positive support and inspiration you receive and are surrounded with especially your peers, will enhance and empower you more to achieve anything you believe!.  Her creative force is the answer to live and breath in the hearts and minds of every child by keeping it real and making it fun…with THE ACHIEVABLES^®!

They are healers who plan to help many of us transcend the 2012 energy we are experiencing and to acclimate to the new energy arriving on planet Earth. Reckel has recently begun to channel “The Gatherers” on her Friday Spiritual Moments show on BlogTalkRadio and the focus of the program seems to ever be moving in the direction of healing, more specifically miracle healings. With all the negativity in the world presently, we need this balance of the Light to enter our consciousness. She is not only an instrument of the Divine, she is the vessel through which unspeakable miracles  will again take place on planet earth. She is a miracle worker, a Disciple, sent  to raise our vibrations one miracle at a time. Miracles will undoubtedly raise the level of Light or spiritual consciousness exponentially! Reckel’s mantra is, “I Believe in Miracles.” Do you?

Many people may remember Reckel as the proprietor of Kenley Metaphysical Center. Credentials speak of great talents and blessings, but to be in her presence or to listen to her channel is to feel the energy of the Divine. Experience is the greatest teacher – experience the energy of Reverend Reckel and move closer to those Beings of Light who surround you in Spirit.

4/1/2013 Octavia Trimm -  Octavia Trimm International

   Octavia Trimm is an outstanding role model for others as her never give up attitude has inspired many people she has interacted with to realize their full potential and find success. Octavia has overcome many obstacles including a car accident that nearly took her life. When doctors told her she wouldn’t walk again she defied them and today walks. Her determination to help others is seen in her many workshops and through her work in the community. Here is a glimpse into Octavia’s Story a it appeared on NBC 6.

More than 20 years ago, Octavia Trimm was told she would never walk again or become a mother after she was involved in a horrific car accident.

But the Weston resident woman is taking what she learned from the near death experience and is trying to help others. She said she is doing it because it is what she was called to do.

“I didn’t know my legs were severed, broken in half,” Trimm said recalling when the car she was riding in was hit by someone traveling the wrong way on a Pennsylvania highway. “I had no idea. I had no pain.”

Trimm said has been doing what God told her on Aug. 7, 1988 – helping others with their emotional problems. She calls it butterfly renewal.

Trimm is writing a book about her experiences and said she is in talks to develop a TV show called ‘Four Corners,’ which will also focus on her afterlife experience.

“When I talk with them and touch them, they begin to heal,” Trimm said.

Her daughter, 16-year-old Lauren, has been the driving inspiration for Trimm’s work.

It took 18 surgeries for Trimm to get close to what she was before the accident. Right after the accident, she said she had an out of body experience.

“I saw the tunnel of light and I took off,” she remembered.

That’s when Trimm says she went to heaven.

“It was just like you were home,” she said. “It felt so good.”
