Letter from a Homeless Teen Series Part 1
Last year several of my friends and I set out to put a dent in the homeless teen population in Detroit. We found out some despairing things that we were not aware of concerning this population. The one thing that wasn’t a secret is that we MUST do something to prevent teen homelessness and I believe early entrepreneurship training and enlightened mentorship are the answers. I’ll tell you more about my thoughts later in this series but for now, this is your first of thirty-nine letters from a homeless teen that we were able to give housing, food and clothing for six months. She was asked to journal each day about whatever crossed her mind. Join the dialogue about how we can help end teen homelessness.

30-Days of Self Improvement: Tips for People in Transition #5
REPENT: To turn away from …what?
As we continue to reflect on ways to enhance our lives while in transition, let’s look at the word repent. I know you’ve heard it before, if you have ever attended church. But if not, picture this, the robed preacher stands on a platform dripping with sweat, with bible in hand shouting “repent for the end is near.” He usually continues with “turn away from sin because God hates sin.” The boisterous preacher typically goes on for what seems like hours, listing each and every sin we humans commit.
Now that you have the most common picture one sees when they hear the word repent, let’s move back to your favorite chair or couch in front of your computer and look at the word repent and the act of repenting from the perspective of aspiring toward success or enhancing your life. The definition of the word repent is; to turn away from. So the act of repenting is an ongoing turning away from. But turning away from what, is probably your question. In order to answer it, I’d like to talk about what being a success requires us to turn away from for a few minutes.
In general, to be a success one must turn away from any habit, action or person that stands in the way of us being the best we can be. This includes; your boyfriend who doesn’t support your aspirations, your girlfriend who wants all your time but won’t assist you with learning how to better manage your business, smoking Chronic with your girls/boys which causes you to be lazy and nonchalant about accomplishing goals, hanging out at the club all times of night not getting proper rest, getting out of bed after 10am because you are depressed an unwilling to rise up out of despair, not eating nutritional foods further compromising your immune system and healthy cellular reproduction, not engaging in physical exercise causing atrophy and obesity, speaking negativity into your life and the lives of others… Well, you get the picture; we allow all kinds of stumbling blocks to keep us stuck in mediocrity.
Click “comment” below to share the habits, actions or people that you want to repent from. Name it and turn away from it today! I am here as your witness and accountability partner. Repent is an action word. So let’s get moving. We can do it. We are powerful. We are healers. We are teachers. We are jobs creators. We are inventors. We are innovators. We can change the world, starting at home with ourselves. But we can’t continue to carry around useless baggage; it slows the process of walking in our greatness.

My friend Sandra Epps posted on her Facebook page a few days ago, Are you truly happy with your present life circumstance? What do you truly want from your life at this point? Are you unclear of your future and are afraid to move forward? It is time to MAP Your Life Family! Put what you want in writing or picture form. Make a chart or timeline to complete your goals. Don’t waste another day. It’s time to work you MISSION. Let’s do this Family! This post got great responses and I have to believe that our most recent session together inspired it. I had shown Sandy my weekly action plan on a previous occasion, but this time I explained a key adjustment I made to my daily chart, Sandy replied, more people need to be doing this. I asked her to use her creativity to come up with a catchy name for this workshop and I would facilitate it. In that same post the other day, she named my workshop Map Your Success, and so it is. Thanks Sandy for being my accountability partner. You are the best!
Now it’s my turn to follow through. And there couldn’t be a better time to do it. September is International Self Improvement Month and I am going to kick-off this program by offering an introductory special offer for my four-week Map Your Success series. So, what does this series entail? Well, I’ll start by saying, as a Self Improvement Teacher, I work with clients who are seeking clarity and direction in their career, health and relationships all the time. Most of the time however, a broader form of mapping takes place as clients journal their experiences and create action plans. The Map Your Success series that will take place over the next 4 weeks will merge journaling, music, creating financial spread sheets and vision boards together.
For the next four-weeks, participants will write, speak and visualize the success they desire. Two-hours each week they will commit to their own personal and business growth through Map Your Success. I highly recommend that participants bring their accountability partners with them to the sessions. Virtual success mapping is also available via phone and Skype sessions. Here is the series overview:
Week 1
- Introductions
- Mind clearing & Clarity of purpose
- Introduction to visualization
- Affirmations of intent
Week 2
- Review week 1 exercises
- Create vision board
Week 3

30-Days of Self-Improvement Tips for People in Transition #2
- Look around, you may feel lonely but you are not alone.
- See things as they really are. Many are experiencing your same plight (problem). Many are not. Do not fall into the trap of hanging around people who are feeling sorry for themselves, having a pity party. Look for people who have a positive outlook on life and connect with them. Ask them to be your mentors.
- No one is better than you. We are all made from the same good stuff so don’t feel intimidated by your new mentors. If they don’t have time to work directly with you but you feel like there is an invisible connection between the two of you, search them out on-line and make them a virtual mentor. Link up with them on social media sites, read their books and publications written about them. Just put their name in the Google search bar and you should find something, maybe even an extra mentor.
30-Days of Self-Improvement Tips for People in Transition #1
- Find a safe, quiet place to rest and reprogram your mind. What you think of most is what you will manifest or make real.
- Take control of your thoughts by repeating positive affirmations and prayers throughout your day.
- Put a rubber band around your wrist and pop yourself every time you think of negative things. You must replace (reprogram) those thoughts or they will continue to come back and haunt you.
- You are not a victim. You are more than a conqueror. Speak back to the voices in your head that tell you anything that doesn’t serve your higher good.
- You are experiencing a transition that is going to take you higher!
- Don’t look down or you may miss the signs and directions along the way.
Your life coach, Versandra Kennebrew
