From the Editor
In this Issue: Retreat Special Features/SpeakersThe Divine Gift Showcase / Artists Bea PowellAbout Unveiled Purpose MagazineArtistically Speaking Film ―What About the Children‖ Fashion & Beauty Sponsorship Opportunities Euclid Gray Advertisements Evangelist Ericka Ward EDITOR-IN-CHIEF What does it mean to be “SOLD OUT”? I believe that in serving God, Jesus is our best example. He helped people everywhere He went. It’s an honor to be entrusted with the great responsibility of the ministry of helps… I want to inspire every reader of this issue to champion the cause of “paying it forward” to be a blessing to someone else's life, ministry or vision. That’s what we do here at DCG & UPM. It is when you are able to look beyond your own needs, desires… wants... and see that of another and then begin to take action to be a blessing to them, it is then that you are the most enriched and fulfilled. The beauty (of doing unto others as you would have them do unto you) is that at some astounding moment, even when you least expect; you are most certainly going to reap what you have sown. (Matthew 7:12, Luke 6:38, II Corinthians 9:6, Galatians 6:7) So give, give your time, give your money, give your love, give your undivided attention to the cause of another… even if but for a moment— it may be a child in need of nurturing, a friend in need of a listening ear, a ministry in need of supporters, a vision in need of wings… You are the key to someone's locked door and when you are led by God in divine purpose to help another, you will come to know the selfless humility that is embodied by our savior, the willingness to place what we want aside in order to minister to the needs of someone else. As the scripture hath said it– no greater love than this … that a man would lay down his life for his friends… (paraphrased– John 15:13) It is more blessed to give than to receive... but certainly in giving you shall receive… Ericka 2

He still continues as the Sunday morning gospel host on Kiss 105.7/99.3. If you ask; So, why gospel?, “It’s a lifestyle. It’s what I believe in. It’s my values. It’s all about the lyrics. Gospel is like breathing for me. I really feel at home.” His Favorite quote is his own: "Make life better for everyday people. Life is fragile, so handle it with lots of prayer." Nine years ago Cavell became an ordained minister. He is the Assistant Pastor at Richmond Christian Center under the leadership of Dr. Steve A. Parsons, Sr. Even though he serves at his home church, he preaches 2-3 Sundays a month at other community churches around the area. “I have an interest in what people do daily, what makes people tick. Through the radio, I am able to soothe pains, help people rejoice. A particular song may change a person’s viewpoint; help them see the glass half full vs. half empty. I am able to look deeper into what people are going through.” Outside of radio, Cavell enjoys bowling and is a drummer. He admits that he still toys around with the trumpet and baritone horn. from time to time.

Minister Antonio Grace Sr. Antonio Grace Sr., a native from Cincinnati, Ohio. A twenty year Retired Combat Veteran of the United States Army and married to a long term personal mentor, lover and best friend. Antonio Grace is his families first God made millionaire. He is a business owner and mentor in the industry of network relationship and CEO of Twins Global Inc. He is having a blessed time building his business while helping others to do the same. Whether it’s a Mlm business or if its an Entrepreneur seeking guidance it doesn't matter. He will actively assist you in reaching your desired goal while having fun along the way. He will be the first to tell you that, even though he has enjoyed and is still learning on this journey to success, it truly didn't start off as very much fun. In fact it was rather painful if he could be 100% honest. His sponsors and mentors were qualified sales men and women and they were recognized in the time share industry as million dollar closers and top managers in the corporate arena. But, they couldn't mentor him to do what they did best. But, it was okay because he is more concerned about people, families, dreams and life long relationships rather then numbers, numbers, numbers, sales, money and did I say numbers? When Grace first started out in Network Marketing and Relationship business he struggled and he could not get any business to work at all. He was at the point where he was ready to give up..... Then one day while surfing on the internet he found all the answers he was looking for from a beautiful and talented lady by the name of Vikki Lawson. The first thing she taught him was that "My Lack of Success was NOT My Fault!" I was once part of a group called Mentoring For Free where everyone Taught Network Marketers how to have success with their company regardless of what company or business venture they may be with. The Best part is they did it entirely for Free!

Turning lemons into lemonade. If anyone can stir up a mean pitcher of lemonade, it’s probably Independent National Sales Director Beatrice Powell. She’s been dealt a lot of life’s lemons, yet still managed to land on top. Beatrice once was the vice president of sales for her husband’s company. But when the economy began to sour in the 1980s, so did their business. Their 20-year marriage was next. At the same time her personal life was in turmoil, Beatrice’s oldest daughter was preparing to go to college. The reality of becoming a single parent of three helped Beatrice re-ignite her Mary Kay business and gave her the opportunity and the courage to make it on her own. “Because of Mary Kay Ash I came to understand how important it is to have a personal relationship with the Lord.” Beatrice says, and continues, “My first place of strength is with Him.” Beatrice appreciated Mary Kay’s philosophy of God first, family second and career third. It was the foundation for raising her children. Also during this tumultuous time, Beatrice recalled the “bumblebee story.” “Like the bumblebee, I was the least likely to be able to fly, but I went ahead and did it anyway. Thanks to my Mary Kay education, I believed and trusted that I could and would survive. And I did!” says Beatrice. She not only survived, she thrived by using a good old-fashioned work ethic she learned as a child. “My mother was a single parent, and I learned a lot from her. She taught us that by helping others, you can get what you want. That led me to helping in my church, and that’s how I received
my college scholarship.” Beatrice says that her can-do attitude is the greatest inheritance she could ever leave her three children, who are all successful entrepreneurs. “They always tell me that because of me, they made it. They saw me fall down and keep getting up,” says Beatrice. She also adds that the most valuable thing she learned didn’t come from a college classroom. “My Mary Kay business has given me self-esteem, which is nothing that my degree could have given me. And, my Mary Kay business is also my ministry. I tell other women they can make it. Mary Kay Ash has given us this vehicle, but it’s truly been a gift from God.”
Bea & her Family
Emeritus National Mary Kay Sales Director was honored by family, friends, and associates, who came to show love and respect to her as she celebrated retirement from 39 years of Mary Kay. As a pioneer in Mary Kay Inc., out of over Two Million (2,000,000) Consultants and Directors in Mary Kay throughout the world, Bea Powell is the 21st African-American National Sales Director in the entire Company; and the first (1 st) and only African-American National Sales Director in the state of Virginia. Close to 200 people came from all over the United States and celebrated ENSD Bea Powell with songs, mime, dance, gifts, and tributes. Many spoke of how ENSD Bea Powell touched thousands of lives by sharing so much more than lipstick and skin care products. ENSD Powell spoke into the hearts of everyone she encountered and showed them how to become healed, delivered, and prosperous women. Her children spoke of how their college was accomplished and paid for through Mary Kay profits, and how they learned discipline and hard work ethics through their participation in their mothers business. She taught them and others that “if you help enough people get what they want, you will get what you want.” Emeritus Bea Powell spoke on points of persistence, success, self-esteem, and sisterhood. She said, “When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.” When failure looked Bea in the eye, she looked forward and didn‟t stop, she failed FORWARD, until she arrived at her destination of NATIONAL SALES DIRECTOR, which is the highest leadership position in Mary Kay Inc. Therefore, she informed everyone that “your destination becomes your destiny.” Bea Powell‟s life was built on her FAITH in God, which allowed her to make her business her ministry as well. This lined up with Mary Kay‟s philosophy of “God first, family second, and career third.” Bea was able to therefore see beyond women‟s need for makeup on the outside, and see their need for a makeover on the inside as well. Through this she has risen to a level of being one of the most sought after speakers in the Mary Kay organization and other organizations and churches as well. Now at this place of “repositioning,” Bea Powell is continuing to function as an Inspirational and Motivational Speaker, speaking into the lives of both men and women on how to be all that God has created them to be and do what He has called them to do. Secondly, she is so excited about a new Wellness Formula called “Zeal for Life,” which will enrich, restore, and protect your health. It has given her so much energy, balanced her system, and even caused her to lose weight without even trying. Everywhere she goes, people are asking how is it that she looks so good and has this „glow‟ about her. The only difference has been the improvements to her health since taking Zeal. This business is based on 3 John 2, which says, “Beloved I wish above all things that you would prosper and be in health, even as you soul prospers.

E-mail us to contact Cortez Mack
“I thought the film sent a clear message about the children, and the stress that they are facing with today, and how we as parents are the ones responsible for their actions, especially in the way carry ourselves.” Wade Smith, Sr., patron
“The message was positive, it showed the love of the church, the love and support of the family, and the love and support of the community for the children/youth of the inner city when they are faced with negative situations.” Terrence Ellery, church youth leader “The movie was excellent! I would like to see more movies with a message like this movie. It was very different the any films I've seen, and would like to see more from this director.” Shaiking Mathis, Film Editor “I greatly appreciate the films it was a positive massage it was very interesting to see what really going on with our society keep up the good work and may God continue to bless you and your family.” Veronica Mack, Blue Shield Blue Cross “This film was EXCELLENT!!!

Good job, Cortez & Jeri.” Evangelist Ann Bell Free Spirit Ministerial WorshipCenter South Holland, Illinois "What About The Children" truly delivers the message home, by taking it back to the home, where the problems and SOLUTION'S starts. The film captures up to date present problematic scenarios, and situations which makes the film multi-level, thus related to youth and adult alike, as well as, creates outlets to be showcased in environments outside the theater and homes, such as educational schools, colleges, and universities.

Shopping Buddy Inside Your Pocket ~ by Jaylynn Turner Now with the help of internet and smart mobile devices, there are several fashion mobile apps designed to become personal shopping assistants so no one has to experience the sold out blues ever again.
Snapette (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) Snapette combines the sharing of social networking, the shopping experience of malls and the satisfaction of consumption all in one mobile app. Snapette users can browse other user’s photos to identify brand, retailer and price. The app enables browsing and screening of products, specifically shoes and bags. In addition, users can keep together a wishlist of items and upload them to Facebook and Tumblr.
Have you ever heard the saying “love something let it go and if it comes back then it is meant to be?” Whoever came up with it definitely was not a fashionista. It is absolutely the worst feeling seeing the perfect maxi dress hanging in the store’s front window, coming back days later and realizing the color or the size needed is sold out. Instead of accepting the fact of an item being sold out, we go through all the extremes to reunite ourselves with the desired item. First thought: “Ask an associate to check another local store.” Second thought: “Ask an associate to go online and check the inventory of all stores nationwide.” Last and most desperate thought: “Search online and find any website that sells that item or something similar.” However, wouldn’t it be so much easier if everyone has a personal shopping assistant to do all the work for us? After all, it doesn’t really matter how the item is found as long as it makes it into the desperate shopper’s hands.
Shop Savvy (Android, iPhone, iPad, Windows) This app scans barcodes and reads QR codes to find an exact product at another store for a cheaper price. Shop Savvy reveals lower prices and reviews by others based on the mobile device’s GPS location. In addition, retailers can upload their products making it easier for shoppers to find and buy products. It’s the perfect solution for shopping on the go!
The Find (Android, Kindle Fire, iPhone, iPad) The Find aims to create a match between the two by bridging the gap between shoppers and retailers. It is an intensive search engine that feeds on the app’s products, stores, sales and coupons. Searches can be saved at its’ online website to purchase items in the future. The app caters to online shopping, local shopping, and green shopping. Which app do you use as your personal shopping assistant? Let me know which shopping app you like the most and why.
