to use the wisdom of God to encourage us as women to do better, because we ARE BETTER! Each of us has the responsibility to take a serious look at our lives and what changes we need to make in order to move forward. God knows every little quirk and frailty about us - NO we are NOT perfect - but our God deserves our very best! I hope to encourage, inspire AND challenge women to...&quot;do YOU WELL&quot;, which I have found to be the MOST liberating thing ever! ;)</subtitle><link rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#feed' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://prowessandpearls.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1817390378311200949/posts/default?max-results=3&amp;redirect=false'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://prowessandpearls.blogspot.com/'/><link rel='hub' href='http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/'/><link rel='next' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1817390378311200949/posts/default?start-index=4&amp;max-results=3&amp;redirect=false'/><author><name>Michell Pulliam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01626012506118587609</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><generator version='7.00' uri='http://www.blogger.com'>Blogger</generator><openSearch:totalResults>156</openSearch:totalResults><openSearch:startIndex>1</openSearch:startIndex><openSearch:itemsPerPage>3</openSearch:itemsPerPage><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817390378311200949.post-4086773905449354022</id><published>2016-07-14T12:37:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2019-02-23T12:20:42.069-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="author website"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="books"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="moving"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="new chapter"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="writing"/><title type='text'>It&#39;s Time to Move...</title><content type='html'>&lt;form action=&quot;http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; onsubmit=&quot;window.open(&#39;http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=blogspot/mqzhh&#39;, &#39;popupwindow&#39;, &#39;scrollbars=yes,width=250,height=250&#39;);return true&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #ffffff; padding: 3px; text-align: center;&quot; target=&quot;popupwindow&quot;&gt;

Yes, it&#39;s me! Wanted to let everyone know what I&#39;ve been up to this past year. Well, I&#39;ll first start off by saying that I have missed you all so much!! But I promise, I haven&#39;t been loafing around. I&#39;ve been working on something I&#39;ve had a dream of doing for some time now. Writing books . . . yayyy&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;and &lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&quot;about time&quot; - as a good friend just told me. You know who you are, lol! ;-) !! I&#39;m currently working on some self-help books (one of them going to press as I write), a novel, and a series of children&#39;s books. I&#39;m also starting my consulting and coaching business the beginning of 2017! Sooo, excited about that one! Yeah, it&#39;s a lot, but I&#39;m absolutely loving it! Which brings me to my reason for writing this post. I&#39;ve moved, yep...taken up residency at another address on the web. I&#39;m not closing down &quot;Prowess and Pearls&quot;, just incorporating it into my new website. So please join me for my housewarming at my new place - the address is . . .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;u style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ea9999;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://michellpulliam.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ea9999;&quot;&gt;michellpulliam.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #f4cccc;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;(make sure to click the link to access it, lol). On my new site you&#39;ll find some great FREE resources I&#39;ve created just for you. Downloads, courses, etc. I thank you guys so much for all of your support over these past few years and I&#39;m looking forward to this new chapter and connecting with you over at my new site! YOU ROCK!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I guess there’s no better way to jump back into blogging than to jump back in it, right? And of course to share with everyone about my very first “Prowess and Pearls” women’s retreat I hosted last weekend! Yep yep, you heard correct…a “Prowess and Pearls” retreat! Not just any retreat though…you know the ones where every.single.minute.of.the.weekend.is.taken.up.by speakers, workshops and the such. Been there, done that.  Not that there’s anything wrong with those retreats(because they&amp;#39;re needed as well), but come on – we have to admit that sometimes after those kind of retreats, we can come out feeling like we’re in need of a vacation!

Besides, if I’ve learned anything from the untimely deaths of my mother and mother-in-law, its that the enemy desires for us to be lacking in our lives where our health is concerned. I mentioned in my last post that I would tell you about my ever-so-lovely surgery. But don’t worry, I’ll spare you the gory details.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
