U in the USA

Hello,

Are you looking for ways to unlock your full potential and achieve excellence in your personal and professional life? I'm excited to offer you a unique opportunity to discover and develop your innate talents through CliftonStrengths coaching.

Uncover Your Natural Talents with CliftonStrengths
CliftonStrengths is a powerful assessment tool that helps you identify your top talents - the patterns of thought, feeling, and behavior that come naturally to you. By focusing on these strengths rather than trying to fix weaknesses, you can:
- Boost your engagement and success at work
- Enhance your confidence and well-being
- Improve your relationships and teamwork
- Achieve better results in all areas of life

My Journey with CliftonStrengths
Since July 2024, I've been receiving intensive CliftonStrengths training , which has transformed my approach to personal and professional development. As I prepare for my certification as an accompaniment coach, I'm eager to share these insights with others.

Special Offer: Discounted or Pro Bono Coaching
To gain more experience and help others benefit from this powerful tool, I'm offering CliftonStrengths coaching sessions (in English and or French) at significantly reduced rates or even pro bono. This is a limited-time opportunity to receive personalized guidance on applying your unique talents to achieve your goals.

I'm excited to give praise to God for the affirmation of my book through this new review.

You might be aware that my book is in the beta reading stage.
There are signs pointing towards the Lord's desire to employ my book as a means of healing, reconnecting, and providing guidance for young adult men (ages 18-25) from broken homes. Reaching them has been quite a challenge.

How to get my book into the hands of young men who may not know they need the book?

At the Fiat Self-Publishing Academy, my instructors Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers and Greg Johnson advised me to connect with influencers who support and pray for young adult men, including mothers, aunts, priests, deacons, and chaplains.
I sent two copies of my manuscript to a woman a month ago, whose nephews have experienced a broken family situation. The oldest child chose to live with his aunt and uncle, moving out of their parents' home. He's been really angry with his dad. His uncle offered him consolation and guidance during his difficult time.

This week, his aunt shared an inspiring and hopeful testimony with me. (cf picture enclosed)

I'm looking for people who can relate to this cause and assist me in reaching out to more beta readers, specifically young adult men (18-25) from broken homes, struggling with dysfunctions and lacking a father figure and connection with God.
I am looking for :
- Married moms who raised/are raising boys in abusive homes
- Tired single Catholic mothers and devoted Catholic grandmothers, praying to maintain their sons’ connection with God.
- Priests, Deacons, Chaplain, Youth Ministers

Never forget 9/11.
"The Cross is the most powerful weapon that offends the demons, and defends me from all of their claws. Therefore, the soul who possesses the Cross is the envy and admiration of the very Angels and Saints, and the rage and indignation of the demons."

Fewer workers have been moving for new jobs during the pandemic. Will anyone want to when it’s over?

Move to a New City for Work? No Thanks Job seekers are hesitating to relocate, a trend accelerated by the pandemic but also related to family and financial factors.

There are too many things to be grateful for, and I am so thankful for the gift of life. Thank you, God for everything. Thank you also for my family and friends from around the world. Thank you for you who are following U in the USA.
Happy Thanksgiving.

I started to learn about American culture by exploring and celebrating American holidays.

My favorite one has always been Thanksgiving.

It started in 2007 after my English teacher, Mina, organized a film screening of Planes, Trains and Automobiles and a discussion about Thanksgiving.

The comedy introduced me to an important element of Thanksgiving, which is going home to be with family members and friends. I still enjoy watching this movie every year or so. Tonight, it's the perfect timing for this funny and heartwarming comedy.

I pray for all the people and families who won't be able to gather to spend Thanksgiving this year. May the Lord comfort and console you wherever you are. May we be grateful for having another day.

Celebrate at home with those you live with. It’s the safest choice.
As one nurse said, "Let's make it through this holiday so we can have future holidays." Help stop the spread of COVID-19 and save lives.

Planes Trains and Automobiles A man must struggle to travel home for Thanksgiving with an obnoxious slob of a shower curtain ring salesman as his only companion.

Good morning,

With the crisis, we all know people and or families who are going through a hard time.

I like what Walmart and its parters are doing to help the less fortunate families on Thanksgiving. They provide all the Thanksgiving items to cook on your own. So this might interest some people you know.

If you want to do more, you could get the items, prepare the meals and donate to families around you.

What do you think?

“If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.” –Mother Teresa.

Walmart partners with other companies to offer free Thanksgiving dinner for families in need Walmart is partnering with mobile rewards app Ibotta and several other companies in an effort to feed hungry American families this Thanksgiving.

The pandemic has been devastating for us adults, but its impact on teenagers is arguably far greater. Many teenagers are feeling depressed, angry and bored. How to help them find their significance and purpose in the midst of this chaotic world? This uplifting documentary called Dream: Live with Purpose, Learn to Dream should give them some inspiration.

It is a documentary series featuring the stories of diverse people from around the globe, who found purpose when they embraced their God-given dream. Subjects include Grammy-Award winning artists, a former Sudanese child soldier, a disaster grief counselor, and a young Canadian boy who is partnering with a Tanzanian girl to bring about change through a simple stuffed elephant.
