ANNUAL MOTHER’S DAY TRIBUTE: Sister Anita Barnes, Pastor Tekoa Pouerie and Dr. Marcelline Girlie

Sister Anita Barnes – Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church, Eatonville FL covered us in prayer from Proverbs 31. Her prayer to refresh, restore and reignite women who are new mom’s, seasoned, grandmothers, aunts or godmothers was a spiritual request for Peace and Joy! She hosts an annual Mother’s Day Breakfast that has been in existence since 1998 for women in our community. Follow her on FB @ Anita L. Barnes Pastor Tekoa Pouerie shared from her newest book, “I am Courageous” about the importance of speaking words of faith over your own life as well as that of your family, business and everything connected with you. When it comes to grief during Mother’s Day, Tekoa said “You have to Feel so you can Heal!” In order to change the outcomes for your finances, relationships or career you have to change internally – so begin to speak favorably into the universe through affirmations. The former VP of PACE Center for Girls National is now the new CEO of the SharingCenter.org which is a faith-based resource organization serving the homeless in Seminole County. Her book is on Amazon, and you can connect with her on all social platforms @ tekoapouerie.com Dr. Marcelline Girlie, Author, Mom and Family & Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse shared with the grieving moms from her personal loss (husband Courtney) that there is “Peace where there is Pain and Glory can reside alongside Grief!” If you are struggling with an unhealthy relationship with your mom, Dr. Girlie said, “Accept the relationship as it is, and connect with someone else who can fill in that space.” Her book, “There’s a Juice for That!” helped her not only lose weight but realize that our gut is our 2nd brain – feed it well in order to feel good!
