🎗 Hello Facebook Family! 🎗
I have some incredible news to share, and I'm reaching out to say thank you because your support has brought me from 6th place to an astonishing 3rd place in the Fab Over 40 Grant Competition! Your support has helped me to make it to the Top 20 List, advancing to the next round, where the winner is decided by votes.

Your consistent votes and support during this competition have been absolutely remarkable, and I want to express my deepest gratitude for that. Your free daily votes, support, and words of encouragement during this competition have been a lifeline, propelling me forward and continuing in this competition.

The Fab Over 40 initiative is more than just a competition; it's an opportunity to raise awareness about Breast Cancer and support those who are fighting this battle. Cancer is a relentless foe, and it has personally touched my life. Eight years ago, I lost my beloved mom to this disease, and this competition serves as a heartfelt tribute to honor her legacy within me.

Now, you may be wondering, "Why am I Fab Over 40?" 🤔 At 44, I proudly embrace the roles of a single mother, pediatric occupational therapist with over 20 years of experience, mental health advocate, multiple best-selling author, TedX speaker, entrepreneur, nonprofit founder, life coach, consultant, and speaker. I have tirelessly served parents and children with special needs, offering my knowledge and expertise to make a difference in their lives.

Much of the community service work I've done has been funded from my own pocket, creating a financial strain on my family. I don't have a massive following or a loud public presence, so I often work quietly in the background. I consider myself the underdog in this competition, and I'm sure many of you can relate to feeling that way at times.

But I firmly believe that when we unite, we can turn the odds in our favor and achieve victory. That's why I'm pouring my heart and soul into this competition, giving it everything I've got. 🏆 Will you vote daily and share this post to inspire others to join us in this journey to the top?

Now, you might be curious about the prize, and let me tell you, it's extraordinary! The winner receives a 2-page spread in New Beauty magazine, $40,000 in cash, and a spa-cation! These rewards are not just for me; they will serve as the foundation to make an even greater impact in our society.

With the $40,000, I would use the funds to pay down personal debt accrued from investing in my youth community service initiatives related to youth and mental health. I'd take my wonderful teenagers on a well-deserved mini-vacation for the sacrifices they've made to support my community service. Lastly, I'd use the funds to invest back into my service work and nonprofit initiatives, particularly for youth, mental health, literacy, and to launch and fund the creation of a youth and young adult su***de and homicide awareness and prevention curriculum and mobile app to save lives and make a bigger impact in our society. Our youth are our future, and we're losing them at an alarming rate. Together, we can be the change!

In this competition, I was asked, "What advice would I give my younger self?" The answer is simple: I would say, "Liz, you are the most beautiful person in the world." It took me many years to realize that my beauty starts from recognizing the inner beauty within me, celebrating my kind heart, compassionate spirit, and viewing my ability to love and forgive as a strength and superpower, not a weakness.

I'd like to leave you with three important life lessons that have guided me:

1️⃣God's Glory Shines Through Obstacles! No matter the hurdles we face, God's light always finds its way.

2️⃣ Consistency is Key! It's a mantra that has illuminated my path through this journey.

3️⃣ Faithfulness in All Situations! Even in moments of uncertainty, God remains faithful.

Over the next six days in the next round of the grant competition, I invite you to stand united with me. Your vote matters and contributes to breast cancer awareness. You can cast a free vote daily and even donate to the cause by purchasing extra votes. You will be able to see where I am in the ranking when you vote. Please follow your heart and do what feels right.

Thank you in advance for your invaluable support. Together, let's make a meaningful difference.

Hello Facebook Family,
Today marks Day 8 of the Fab Over 40 Competition, and my heart is overflowing with gratitude and important reminders.
1️⃣ Consistency is Key! It's a mantra that's been my guiding light through this journey.
2️⃣ God's Glory Shines Through Obstacles! No matter the hurdles we face, God's light always finds its way.
3️⃣ Faithfulness in All Situations! God remains faithful, even in moments of uncertainty.

Eight years ago, I made a promise to God to always step forward when He says "step," regardless of my feelings. I vowed not to let my past dictate my future and to always share His grace and mercy with others.

Today, as I undergo medical tests, I'm reminded that taking care of my own well-being is crucial. I must prioritize my health to continue the work I love so dearly. In moderation and grace, I serve, while refocusing my life's priorities.

On this day, I had my first mammogram—an important step in promoting Breast Cancer Awareness. The fear of the unknown gripped me, but praise God, the results were normal, and I am thankful.

The Fab Over 40 initiative is an opportunity to raise awareness about Breast Cancer and support those in the fight against it. I encourage you to schedule your mammogram if you have not or complete your breast self-evaluations regularly.

Today, I invite you to stand in unity with me. Your vote matters and contributes to breast cancer awareness. You can cast a free vote daily and even donate to the cause by purchasing extra votes. Please follow your heart and do what feels right.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Reading Time hack
How do you carve out time with a busy schedule for reading 📖 and personal or professional development ?

For me, I set aside a few minutes either in the morning, lunch break, or at end of day and select a reading spot that is designated and comfortable to use each time. That allows my reading time to feel like self-care instead of another task to accomplish.

What are some of your reading hacks to make time?

This book is meant to be a beacon of hope, encouragement, inspiration, and offer insights and support to those who need it most.

Why Should You Collaborate?

If you're a woman of color with a story to tell, if you've faced anxiety head-on and emerged stronger, I invite you to be a part of "Face Your Fears."

Please reach out to me through Facebook Messenger or at [email protected] and send me a brief message on why you think your story should be included in my next book.

Let's join hands and make a positive difference and impact together!

Dr. Elizabeth Jennings

"Don't Quit: A Journey Through the Depths of Resilience"
In "Don't Quit," you will learn about the powerful and inspiring story of a young man who faced the turbulent storms of mental health problems with unyielding determination, perseverance, and a desire to not quit on himself. His real-life story takes you on an emotional journey through the challenges, triumphs, and transformative moments of a courageous soul who refused to succumb to the unexpected darkness and mental turmoil he faced.

As you follow his journey, you'll witness the authenticity of his struggles – the isolation, the confusion, the fear, and the internal battles that threatened him. "Don't Quit," allows you to witness the pivotal moments that shaped his resilience – the unwavering support of loved ones, the discovery of coping strategies, and the slow but steady climb towards healing and recovery.

His story is a true testament to the power of the human spirit and explores of the depths and heights one can achieve when armed with courage, perseverance, and a refusal to surrender or quit.

"Don't Quit" teaches our youth how to evolve from a place of inner struggle and vulnerability to strength, offering hope, insight, and a reminder that even in the darkest moments, the light of resilience can guide us through life.
