00:00I have a little ritual I call cleanse and moisturize you do it for your face
00:08twice a day you do it for your soul more often than that gives you the best
00:14countenance life could ever have you let go of stress and the people that bring
00:19it and don't be afraid of the emptiness that they'll leave in your life because
00:23of that if the fulfillment they were giving was stress they ain't supposed to
00:28be there and they're blocking what's supposed to be in that place
00:31Kelly Price I did not know I came here for a word I can only say it because I'm
00:35living it and I feel like people can see that I can see it look and feel good
00:40I feel so good I do I really do bigger than looking good I feel good and I think
00:44that when you feel good it just emanates differently well you deserve thank you
00:48I've wanted to do this full-time for a long time and just at many points in
00:53life and you know kind of doing the double Dutch thingy and raising kids and still
00:57working on music and I made an on-purpose decision in 2018 really
01:02before then I had a five-year plan that started with like the big change in my
01:07life when I got divorced in 2015 and there were I had a place that I wanted to
01:13see myself in five years and where I should be in each year getting to that
01:16place I was falling behind so I kicked my butt and got in gear and I was really
01:24really intentional and I stopped taking singing engagements and I enrolled in a
01:30class and I took on a full-time coach and I started auditioning for everything
01:35that came across my desk and in the beginning the auditions were special but
01:42being in a class once a week and learning from a pro and being with the
01:46coach on a regular basis quickly shifted what I already knew I had in me and in
01:52less than five months I was offered this job see this manifestation Kelly right
01:58something God will do his part if we do ours and he's faithful but we have to be
02:02faithful too I think it's unfair when people say well God I tried you need
02:05consistency and if he's gonna be consistent if you expect him to be
02:09consistent with the word then you have to be consistent with your faith action
02:14and that's really what it's all about it's a principle it's a principle
