Dream it, Speak it, Write it, LIVE IT

“Dream it, Speak it, Write it, Live it”.  This is the motto that someone I have grown to deeply admire lives by.  But above all, she teaches the importance of LIVING IN PEACE.  Have you ever paused to think about what it means to truly live in place of PEACE?  This is more than just a word, and more than just a state of mind, but instead it is a matter and state of EXISTING!

CarolLee Miles teaches that God desires for us to find peace, and HE is the ultimate source of that peace.  CarolLee is a kind hearted person who LOVES people.  After years of experience of being a professional certified tour guide CarolLee began to consider how SHE could help others.  Carol Lee decided to write a book, to help anyone who wants to learn how they can GET PAID TO CRUISE.  I admire CarolLee and am so thankful to God that he has brought me the opportunity to meet personally such an amazing person.  

CarolLee considers it of great importance to remain professional but what I admire most is there is no hesitation for her to share about God and what HIS importance in her life is, even in those “professional moments”.  She truly has God’s PEACE in her life and she shows that to those around her.  So while I had the opportunity today to learn about “Getting Paid to Cruise: secrets from a professional cruise guide”, and I did LEARN A LOT of valuable information on how to GET PAID TO CRUISE, I was blessed in far greater ways then I could have anticipated.  I was reminded once again of the Peace that GOD brings into our lives, and reminded how accessible that PEACE can be, even in times of turmoil or when life isn’t all “sunshine and roses”.  This is important because when you are around a group of people, if your heart is full of optimism and peace in any situation that optimism and peace is translated and felt by EVERYONE around. 

Just as one negative view or thought can penetrate the hearts, feelings and emotions of a group of people, an optimistic and peaceful voice can raise above the crashing waves and drowning storms.  Shining HIS light into the hearts of those trembling and broken.  It is this PEACE and optimism that can get you through even the toughest situations, and when you are dealing with a group of people, especially a group of people cruising far away from the comforts and familiarity of home, this PEACE and optimism is key to breaking through the cycle of fear, anger or blame that occur when unpreventable situations arise.
