What time is it?👂🏽

GOOD NEWS TIME!!!🎉🎉

Hi Friends,

I’m walking into this new week with a full heart and a clear mission.

Lately, the Spirit has been leading a specific vision to my heart, a way for us to connect not just as business owners or clients, but as a community rooted in faith and abundance.

Introducing: The Money and Miracles Prayer Moment

Starting now, every Monday morning on my Instagram, I will be hosting a dedicated prayer moment. We are going to pray specifically over our finances.

I want to stand in the gap for each of you. I believe that when we align our financial goals with a spirit of expectancy, miracles happen.

I’ve already posted our very first prayer. I want you to go listen, receive it, and prepare your heart for the week ahead.

Speaking of alignment, I am still buzzing from this past Friday. I had the absolute honor of sponsoring an event hosted by an incredible client couple, Hennither B. Gant and Reginald Gant.

The Gants are truly committed to the heart of building community, and it showed. We gathered in the beautiful Transamerica building, with arguably the best view in downtown Baltimore, and from the moment we opened in prayer, the atmosphere was set.

The energy? Magnetic. The conversations? Meaningful. The people? Aligned.

What stood out most to me wasn’t just the stunning backdrop; it was the intention. This wasn’t just networking for the sake of exchanging business cards. This was about real, deep connection.

I met so many incredible business owners, especially those leading social enterprises doing impactful work right here in our communities. That is exactly the kind of room I want to be in, where profit meets purpose.

Our Accountability Group is BACK!🎉✨

By popular demand, I’m officially bringing back our Financial Planning Tasks Accountability Group.

We are almost at the end of the first quarter of 2026 (time flies, right?!), and I know how easy it is for those "CEO-level" tasks, like bookkeeping, cash flow review, and savings goals to slide to the bottom of the to-do list.

This is your space to finally get it done. No lectures, no fluff, just a focused, judgment-free co-working hour where we show up and move the needle on our finances together.

The Details:

• When: Every Friday @ 9:15 AM – 10:00 AM EST

• Where: Google Meet

• Investment: Only $67/month

Why you’ll love it:

• ✅ Real Progress: Dedicated time to plan and review your finances like a CFO.

• ✅ Better Habits: Build long-term systems for your business and personal life.

• ✅ Zero Stress: No more "end-of-year" scrambling or last-minute bookkeeping stress.

Let’s finish Q1 strong and keep your finances on the right track!

5 Ways to Make the Most of Your 2026 Tax Refund

As the April 15th deadline approaches, many executives and pre-retirees view their tax refund as a seasonal windfall. For those in the 45-to-65 age bracket, particularly entrepreneurial leaders focused on legacy and long-term security, this influx of capital represents more than just "extra cash." It is a strategic tool.

Spring Break Activities that Won't Break the Bank

With Easter Sunday falling on April 5th this year, the "Spring Break Surge" is officially hitting our wallets twice as hard. While the kids are busy counting down the seconds until freedom, moms everywhere are staring at the calendar wondering how to fill seven days without draining the savings account.
