Karen Civil on the Live Civil playground, affirmations and what helped her evlove .

A message from Karen Civil :"Living Civil. What actually does it mean? And why did I decide to cater an entire website around it?Over the course of the past three years, I have seen my life change drastically for the better. Chances have been taken, opportunities granted and because of such, I find myself in a position where some of my biggest dreams are in arms reach. Not to sound overly preachy or too “you-can-do-too-ish,” one thing I have been blessed with has been the ability to see the positive in situations. T.I. said it best awhile back, “Life ain’t always a dream and horrible sh*t happens.” Such is true, but when taken full advantage of, life is the most beautiful gift in the world and positive thoughts, actions and vibes can pay dividends.

LivingCivil.com actually started from a series of tweets I put a hashtag. And based on the overwhelming feedback from them, I figured it would be best to have one centralized location to express my thoughts in more than 140 characters. Here at LC.com, one will be able to find those positive affirmations daily as well as career advice tips from myself. Not the normal tips you read everywhere on the Internet, but suggestions that I actually embarked on first and saw them work before my eyes. Nothing I say is is nothing I haven’t done or believe in myself. This site is built on 100% positivity. Why? Because if you feel positive, you move positive. And if you move positive, you produce positive."

SIS IN SPIRIT
The giver of life, and the nurturer of families, but as we move forward in the 2000’s we realize that

the meaning of a woman reaches and exceeds beyond those simple definitions. In my humble opinion women are the backbone to the Earth. We are strong enough to bare children, be mothers and wives while becoming CEO’s of our own companies, and being positive forces within our communities.S.I.S or the Sisters in Spirit is a panel designed for the Queens of Journalism to come together to support encourage and nature each other. A panel of well education woman coming together for their voices to be heard about a variety of topics.

 

When woman support woman, beautiful things happen. We allow the jealously of society to put us against each other. The reality is, jealously is the devils work, each and every one of us has a destiny that has already been written. My blessings cannot block yours and yours can’t not block mine. If you receive and opportunity, that I didn’t receive it simply means that wasn’t for me. We are all on our own journeys in life, and just crossing paths, why not help each elevate together instead of tearing one another down? If one of us wins, we all win.

Every sibling in the Mowry family during the late 90's were stars of hit-sitcoms on different television networks. The show ran for fifty-one episodes and three seasons.
