Watch Your Life Bloom

Welcome to the Official Blog of Author Dr. Lily L. Ratliff Jenkins, of the inspirational Memoir, The Life of a Lily: Growing in His Strength, Blooming in His Love, and many other writings.

Thanks for coming by to sit awhile and reflecting along with me on everything biblical. On this blog, feel free to share your thoughts and feelings about the various topics I present. They all do come from the heart and are meant for us to ponder, be enlightened, laugh, cry, and ultimately give God all of the praise.

You will hopefully find resources on everything from writing tips to creating your own memoir, how to journal, becoming better Christians and how to walk in your callings, destinies, and witty inventions that we have deep inside of us but sometimes don't quite know how to tap into and walk in. But GOD! It is in his wisdom along with an open mind that we will get through this together. Amen! So I welcome you my brothers and sisters!

An exciting new business venture I've partnered with!


As many of you know, I've been a writer and author for a number of years. I've had book signings, seminars and workshops on writing and publishing, been interviewed on radio and TV, and even had contests in order to promote my books. But nothing can be as good as a marketing tool as Empower Network.


I've recently learned of this opportunity through a friend on Facebook. I'm an avid Facebooker and love learning new methods of business on there. Well, this one at first, was like any other, or so I thought. Upon looking at the corporate website and seeing all of the products they had to offer, one stuck out to me and I realized I finally found what I had been looking for. 'A Viral Blogging System'. It had all the bells and whistles and allowed me to do what I love...writing and blogging, but also set up an online business platform for another service I do...edit and proofread manuscripts and other documents (another online hustle :-)). So I said, "What do I have to lose? It's only $25 to start and $25 a month to maintain and use the system."



Well, all I can say is: it works! Not only do I get so much more traffic (because of the viral component of the system) but I've received many more sales from my editing business! I guess that $25 was worth it after all, huh?


So what do you receive when you purchase this product?

  • Simplified, complete blogging and internet traffic system
  • Design structure that is optimized for marketing conversions,  
  • High converting lead capture pages 
  • Full web hosting and free system upgrades 
  • Full access to your leads and customer database 
  • Full Fast Start Training series to educate you on how to start getting results by participating in our marketing platform 
  • Access to our weekly training calls to help educate you on getting results.  

Again, ALL for $25 a month!

All you have to do is have a niche, a passion, a topic or topics in which to write about, write it, and publish! There you have your blog! Then watch the traffic come to you! Look at my Empower Network Blog that I use for my business, UpgradeU Writing and Editing Services!

Why am I writing about this business that I've partnered up with? Because I know how leery any business can be, especially one that claims to be a home-based business. But know this: you tried others only to see yourself losing hundreds, maybe even thousands of money, spinning your wheels at something you've never tried before. BLOGGING, everyone does, and if you haven't, once you try, you will see how easy and fun it is, especially when dollars start coming to your bank account, even while you sleep. I'm glad I was introduced to this business, and I plan to bring others to it as well.

Till next time...here's to your success!

A Birthday Confession



Ps. 118:24 - This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.-(NIV)

Every age has its own glory, beauty, and wisdom. (Dennis Kimbro)


WOW! Another birthday has arrived and as I sit and reflect, I have a confession to make.

Here it is! After all that I've been through, the countless hours of trial, experiences, failures and tests, I've been more blessed today all because of YOU! I now have a strength of resolve through those tests and trials for they truly help you to discover who you really are. Today, I withhold the tears to say that I am thankful for all of you who have valued my transparency as I passionately pursued the will of God for my life. And in turn tried to pour back into each of you with God's insight and revelation on here as well as the social networks we share (FaceBook, MySpace, & LinkedIn). God has placed a special anointing on my life that I just can't shake even if I wanted to. And I'm truly grateful that He has chosen me to be an inspiration to you.

So as I go on another year in God's glory, I ask that you continue to pray for me as I go to reach the masses all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ---my heavenly Father who loves me JUST that MUCH! May the God of all mercy continue to bless you with all spiritual blessings in Heavenly places and create a heaven on EARTH experience for YOU! I love you much!

Shake It Off and Step Up!

Hallelujah! This is what we need to tell ourselves each and everyday! Take a Look at This!--Lily

A parable is told of a farmer who owned an old mule. The mule fell into the farmer's well. The farmer heard the mule 'braying' - or - whatever mules do when they fall into wells. After carefully assessing the situation, the farmer sympathized with the mule, but decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving. Instead, he called his neighbors together and told them what had happened...and enlisted them to help haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well and put him out of his misery.

Initially, the old mule was hysterical! But as the farmer and his neighbors continued shoveling and the dirt hit his back...a thought struck him. It suddenly dawned on him that every time a shovel load of dirt landed on his back...HE SHOULD SHAKE IT OFF AND STEP UP! This he did, blow after blow.

"Shake it off and step up...shake it off and step up...shake it off and step up!" he repeated to encourage himself. No matter how painful the blows, or distressing the situation seemed the old mule fought "panic" and just kept right on SHAKING IT OFF AND STEPPING UP!

You're right! It wasn't long before the old mule, battered and exhausted, STEPPED TRIUMPHANTLY OVER THE WALL OF THAT WELL! What seemed like it would bury him, actually blessed him...all because of the manner in which he handled his adversity.

THAT'S LIFE! If we face our problems and respond to them positively, and refuse to give in to panic, bitterness, or self-pity...THE ADVERSITIES THAT COME ALONG TO BURY US USUALLY HAVE WITHIN THEM THE POTENTIAL TO BENEFIT AND BLESS US! Remember that FORGIVENESS--FAITH--PRAYER-- PRAISE and HOPE...all are excellent ways to "SHAKE IT OFF AND STEP UP" out of the wells in which we find ourselves!
