Yesterday, a young man and I was having a conversation and he wanted answers. The young man asked “What is the purpose of life?” I began to explain to him that, the purpose of life is to serve others, to love unconditionally, to walk in integrity and to keep peace. Additionally, I told him to believe in something greater than himself. The young man, who was 16 years old, could not wrap his head around what I had said. He thought how could that be when people are sick with all different types of cancer, and mental illnesses. How could that be when men are violent, angry, mean. How could that be when babies are dying, and people are killing each other. He just couldn’t relate... he didn’t understand because of the shambles; the state of the world. What, I communicated to him, and now to you is that we are not here for ourselves. We are here on assignment, we are here to help each other, we are here for a time, and we are here on purpose. We are not here by chance, we are chosen. We made it into the world, we are breathing, we are living this life. Surely, when we look at the world systems and things that are happening around us we become disheartened. But, we must also look for and see the good. Keep your eyes up, and remember... your living is not in vain!

How to grow your influence on fitfabandwelltube and yourtowntube and grow your local exposure
What Is Niche Marketing?
Niche marketing is an advertising strategy that focuses on a unique target market. Instead of marketing to everyone who could benefit from a product or service, this strategy focuses exclusively on one group—a niche market—or demographic of potential customers who would most benefit from the offerings.

The benefit of niche marketing is that it allows brands to differentiate themselves, appear as a unique authority, and resonate more deeply with a distinct set of customers. Rather than blend in with the many other brands that offer the same type of product or service, a brand can use niche marketing to stand out, appear more valuable, reach its growth potential, and build a stronger, longer-lasting connection with its ideal audience.

A niche market could stand apart from others because of:
* Geographic area
* Lifestyle
* Occasion
* Profession
* Style
* Culture
* Activity or habits
* Behavior
* Demographic
* Need
* Feature reduction or addition

Enjoy creating your niche marketing video content.

Between, last week and this week I’ve had three dreams where I was trying to calculate figures to get a sum. I wrote the numbers down and draw a line underneath, and just as I was about to calculate to get an answer some noise woke me up; every time! After, the third dream I concluded it wasn’t for me to figure out. Oftentimes, we spend most of our lives trying to figure stuff out, but is it necessary. Perhaps, this was a sign to me, that I’m not in control. If, you’re one that constantly try to figure out things can you trust that everything will work out in the end? Can you have faith and trust that everything will be well done on your behalf? And, if it doesn’t work out well can you trust that there is a reason it didn’t? Try it, try to breathe and let go of all the figuring out you’re currently doing. I already told you the best is yet to come. So, if you’re trying to figure it out... STOP!! Have faith and trust the process.

A New Decade Begins
The start of a new year is a great time to look back on how far you've come, and it's an even better time to look toward the future and be filled with excitement about the endless possibilities ahead of you.

Maybe you're looking for change, a fresh start, new beginnings, or simply a resolve to make this year even more amazing than the last...whatever your aspirations, whatever your dreams, stay inspired, stay motivated, stay courageous, and stay full of hope! THIS. IS. YOUR. YEAR.

You are not alone! Friends, it’s been weeks since our routine and way of life has changed!!! Listen, change is not easy...there are many who are having a difficult time navigating through feelings of aloneness. Many, who don’t and won’t talk about it! Lesson, you may feel alone, but you are not in this thing alone. Chances are there are so many others who feel the way that you do. Tip, don’t be afraid of how you’re feeling! You have a right to feel the way that you do! Just know you’re never alone. Also, try focusing on someone else. I bet you can make someone’s day! There is someone waiting to hear from you... pick up the phone, zoom, Skype, WhatsApp, Marco Polo if you have to, and let them know that they’re not alone!

To practice loving-kindness meditation, sit in a comfortable and relaxed manner. Take two or three deep breaths with slow, long and complete exhalations. Let go of any concerns or preoccupations. For a few minutes, feel or imagine the breath moving through the center of your chest - in the area of your heart.

Sitting quietly, mentally repeat, slowly and steadily, the following or similar phrases:

May I be happy. May I be well. May I be safe. May I be peaceful and at ease.

While you say these phrases, allow yourself to sink into the intentions they express. Loving-kindness meditation consists primarily of connecting to the intention of wishing ourselves or others happiness. However, if feelings of warmth, friendliness, or love arise in the body or mind, connect to them, allowing them to grow as you repeat the phrases. As an aid to the meditation, you might hold an image of yourself in your mind's eye. This helps reinforce the intentions expressed in the phrases.

After a period of directing loving-kindness toward yourself, bring to mind a friend or someone in your life who has deeply cared for you. Then slowly repeat phrases of loving-kindness toward them:

May you be happy. May you be well. May you be safe. May you be peaceful and at ease.

It is not always easy to practice METTA meditation, don’t discourage practice often or start and try a little a bit of it with this video

Namaste, Gabi

Every new day is an opportunity to dig deeper into the intention and meaning behind how we live, what we say, what we do, and how we interact with others in this world.

Welcome to today’s practice I am Gabi Johnson, and I invite you to a “Namaste guided meditation” to connect with yourself and connect with your heart

Namasté is more than a word used to end a yoga session. With respect and reverence, Namasté is a way to see and honor the reality of others.

Breath in love exhale compassion and, repeat to yourself…

Just like me everyone is seeking happiness, may we all find the happiness we are seeking
Just like me everyone is protecting themself from suffering, may we all be brave and strong enough to make space for our suffering
Just like me everyone has known sadness, may we all experience love and joy to balance the sadness
Just Like me everyone are doing the best they can, may we all offer compassion to ourselves and others

The Root Chakra is foundational. When all is well with this chakra, you’ll feel secure, calm and anchored in reality. You’ll be bold enough to tackle new challenges, and you’ll feel confident doing so. This makes a properly aligned Root Chakra vital whenever you’re trying something new or pursuing a major life goal.

Root Chakra Information Summary

Physical Location: The bottom of your spine (where your tailbone is located).
Color: Red.
Element: Earth.
Associated Animal: Elephant.

Emotional Issues and Behaviors of Blocked Root Chakra: If your Chakra is blocked you may feel threatened, panicked or anxious. This anxiety can easily infiltrate your thoughts, making everything suddenly feel uncertain. You may also find that you can’t concentrate and that you’re constantly preoccupied with worries about your well-being. In some people, this can manifest as hypochondria or general paranoia. Physical issues potentially caused by a blocked Root Chakra include a sore lower back, low energy levels, and cold extremities.

I invite you to balance and activate your root chakra with this Guided Meditation, Namaste. Gabi

In “Behind the Ivy Walls,” published in June, English, 62, reveals the story of Harold English, a vulnerable, abused boy growing up in Trenton, the boy his stepfather called “idiot.” English never intended for that frightened boy to see the light of day – until now. "This is stuff you keep inside. I had to relive things. I had to go to a place I didn’t want to go back to," said English

The greatest gift of all is family. Family doesn’t have to be those that are born of the same bloodline, but those closest to us, the ones that we let into our lives, the ones we call friend. The family can be destroyed, but only by those who are unaccepting and unforgiving. If there is a lack of forgiveness in the hearts of men, the family can be easily broken. Despite it all, the family bond is a deeply rooted one. Family, is unconditional love, a love that is great and complete. A reciprocal love, the kind you can trust (in many cases), will be returned back to you. A love that is incomparable to anything else. Family, will lift your spirits when your down, tell you when you’re wrong and steer you in the right direction. Family undeniably is everything!
Forgive, love unconditionally and cherish those you call family.
