It's super awesome to be on this tractor enjoying quality time on the farm, but as you can see, I am NOT in the driver's seat. I was reminded that even though I'm good at strategic planning, and calculated risk taking, I'm not always in the driver's seat nor in control of all things. The past 18 months have been challenging for many of us, but in life, there are certain situations we simply cannot change. We can't control how other people treat us, if they like or dislike us, their feelings, their actions, or their thoughts, and we can't change the past or control the future. But, I have great news. For everything we can’t control, there's somethings we can control. We have control over the way we treat other people, whether we hold onto grudges or let them go, our reactions to what other people say and do, who we spend time with, where we put our energy, our mindset, expressing gratitude, and learning to love ourselves. So today, let go of that tractor wheel, release the need to control and enjoy being in the present, which is the only place we can truly live life to the fullest. Now let's enjoy this October Newsletter!

October Celebrations

I have been so blessed to work with a large global network over the years and we have some powerhouses to celebrate! So get out your confetti and a glass of champagne. You ready to celebrate? Let’s gooo!

The October celebration kicks off with my amazing friend, warrior woman, Candice Robin Davis from the southern state of Georgia. Her new best selling book Unfurled, shares her life experiences and coping mechanisms that transform a survivor to an over-comer. I couldn't stop turning the pages. You gotta get your hands on a copy. 

The October festivities keeps on rolling with Ashley Wright who I mentored in 2018. She's a goal crusher! My mentee has reached success at rapid rates and I am so proud to see her growth. She started her first business at the age of 17 and used that experience to create multiple streams of income, including her online Cryptocurrency academy. Today, she coaches individuals all around the world on how to get to the next level in their life and business.

The October party is still pumping with my incredible friend, Beverly Barker from Saskatchewan. This boss lady owns Stil Boutique+ Beauty. It's all about helping women find clothing that makes them feel amazing and confident so they can show up each day with their best self! Stil Boutique fall fashions arrived to freshen up your fall wardrobe.

KC in the Kitchen

The Karen Carrington Show foodie surveys results are in! I absolutely love hearing what my 50K Instagram + Facebook followers are loving and not loving in the kitchen! We get thousands of votes from around the world! Drum roll please! 

Do you like samosas?

79 % Voted YES

21 % Voted NO

Did you know samosas were originally named Samsa after the Pyramids in Central Asia? And now for a little a fun fact about me. Years ago, I was asked to order 500 samosas for the office Christmas party. I picked up the massive order on my own and carried them to my car in the middle of winter. Now that was a pyramid of samosas I will NEVER ever forget!

Ok! Make sure you're jumping in my social media stories to place your votes for next month!

Final Words of Faith

Before I sign off, thank you for spending time with me in this newsletter and I'll see you next month. In the meantime, I will leave you with final words: Psalm 56:4 says "I trust in God; I won’t be afraid." When you put your faith in God, there's no need to be afraid, you are always safe.

With Love,

Karen Carrington
