✨Dinner & A Dream: Calling Teens & Parents!✨

Interested in Modeling Techniques or Etiquette Training?

At Dinner & A Dream, we’re passionate about creating spaces where young people can grow in confidence, character, and purpose. We’re exploring the idea of offering modeling technique and etiquette sessions designed specifically for teens—focusing on poise, presence, self-expression, and the kind of confidence that carries into every area of life.

Before we launch, we’d love your input:

Parents:

Would you be interested in supportive, purpose-driven sessions that teach modeling fundamentals while helping your teen build self-worth, confidence, and healthy presentation skills?

Teens:

Would you enjoy learning the basics of runway, posing, etiquette, and the mindset that helps you walk with confidence on and off the stage?

If this sounds like something you—or your teen—would love, drop a comment or send a message!

Your feedback will help shape the next Dinner & A Dream experience. 💫

Grace and Peace,

You're not crazy. There is a deep seated passion within you, however, you don't feel worthy to pursue it. You are someone's answered prayer.

Pray about it. God will confirm it with you if you ask.

Write the vision. Sit with the Holy Spirit and ask Him to give you the strategy on how He desires it to be carried out and you write it down.

Execute the plan. Begin to walk it out by working on and in it. It will not be perfect, however, God is with you and will help you if you allow Him to. Put one foot in front of the other and keep moving.

Ask God to send your Cornelius connections for they are designed specifically to assist you.

We have work to do. As I pen this, I'm speaking to myself as well. I have learned some time ago you must reflect and be honest with yourself in order to heal, proceed and succeed in life.

Everything you need, including God, is within you and you will not fail.

Your voice is Powerful

Your voice is one of the most powerful tools you have-it can spark change, challenge, injustice, and inspire those around you. When used with conviction, it becomes a weapon- not of harm, but of truth, courage, and impact. Never underestimate the the power of speaking up, whether it's defemdig your beliefs, advocating for others, or standing tall in the face of adversity.

Silence can be comfortable, but it rarely moves mountains. Let your words be seasoned with salt before spoken, let them Carey strength, and let them shape the world in ways only you can.

Never allow anyone to place an invisible muzzle on you again. Your voice matters.

Use it boldy, fearlessly and unapologetically to the glory of God.

Soil Heals

Mud pies weren't tasty and did not provide any nutrition for my body. I've seen many a harvest planted by my family which fed us all.

Never did imagine I would be doing the same thing years later. I hated harvesting beans, peas and other things as a child.

Now, I'm excited to be playing in the soil again growing a harvest, that as a child I never understand. Now, I understand.

I turned on my car lights so I could finish what I started.

I am forever grateful to my great-grandmother for what she instilled in me.

Filled with gifts, beauty, empathy, compassion and intelligence in this photograph and was clueless as to what I carried.

What I was missing was the Holy Spirit, and a relationship with God. I knew stuff about God and attended church regularly, but was missing the love of a father.

We must realize God knows everything about us before we even do it. Inspite of all the bad you have done, God still loves you. He always has and always will. You're never too far gone to come back to God.

He's waiting on you with open arms. Will you accept the call and return back to God?

He has need of you and the gifting He has placed inside of you.

Lace up your boots and get ready.

What are your thoughts?

Let's talk about it.

Perfection Is A Lie

What I've learned is trying to be perfect is a way to fail for sure. It's a lie.

Due to the trauma I endured, I thought trying to be perfect, someone would love me. In that state, I did not love myself. If anything was out of place, if it was not all figured out for business or ministry, I would fall back, thinking I'm not good enough.

I had to learn to separate me from the 'Thing'.

My thought process was if it's not perfect, it's not ready. All the while, you remain in a cycle of bo***ge trying to figure it out and feeling unwanted, unloved, unseen and uncertain.

Come out of agreement with the spirit of perfection and move towards walking in excellence. Take baby steps and get the book out there, the program or product out there. You can always revise. Tweaks need to be made all the time. Do you want a good thing or a great God thing?

Nothing in this life is ever perfect, except for Jesus.

Get to know Him and see how your life will change.
