“Ladies, let me ask you: What is holding you back from living freely, loving fiercely and pursuing your dreams? We should all treasure every moment we have in this fleeting life and take every opportunity to pursue our passions. Life is too short put things off.

You can do anything you put your mind to, and today is the day to start making your dreams happen. I believe in all of you!”

What’s really holding us back? What is it that you need to see your goal through to the end?

You Got One More Time: Method for Dealing with Non Listening Kids (besides whooping)

Leave a comment

So you’ve whooped your son, taken his favorite game away and he’s still acting up. As parents we’d like to believe our words are enough to encourage the right action. Yeah Right! These smart tale kids are an advanced bread (straight from my granny’s mouth)

I was a teen only 10 years ago and from what I remember, my mom’s yelling voice and whooping threats where like going to the bathroom. It occurred often. It didn’t scare me any more. No I didn’t purposely disobey her. It’s safe to say all her messages stop getting through because I tuned her yelling and threats out.

My mom being the innovative lady she was had another method of communicating. BOOKS! She knew I hated to talk to her about anything but loved to read . Luckily my son loves to read also. He’s tuned out my threats at 4years old. Sad, I know. (Teach your kids with what they like to do.)

Growing up means learning and as much as I’d like to believe my son is perfectly well mannered all the time, he’s not. To help him understand right and wrong we read about different situations and how kids handle them. We then apply those to his life. I have him verbally report what we read and I pray he gets it. (The real test is when he actually applies it)

While we won’t abandon whooping all together there are other methods to explore before I wear myself out chasing a kid,

TGIF – Morris Chestnut’s Pics to Chocolafy Your Day

Leave a comment

Yes I took a screen shot of this pic with my iPhone. No I didn’t crop it! I’m a mommy on the move, didn’t have time for that

Now to the point, chocolaty Mr. Chestnut! He is aging quite well. His new movie “The Call” with Halle Berry comes to theaters today.

(Sounds like a date night movie)

He also dropped the goods to Rolling Out, on how his wife feels about his leading roles with hot co-stars and “The Best Man” sequel. The original “Best Man” is a black cinema classic

Where is she?

Passionate and Driven – I pray they find her. She’s a devoted teacher that uprooted herself to contribute to the improvement of New Orleans schools.

Gifts and Opportunities: Put Your Best Qualities on Blast

Leave a comment

One of my mentors once told me that my gifts would make room for me. You cant keep Your goods to yourself!!!! Let the world know you’re out here and you mean business.

1.)Recognizing your own gifts is the first step. (What makes you happy and comes natural to you?)

2.)Next have confidence in your gifts. Opportunities notice confidence and will seek you if you have a pleasing personality and gifts.

3.) Stay prepared to perform. If you stay ready you don’t have to get ready.

4.) Always be professional and personable. Be the person people enjoy working with and have a successful track record. You’ll stay the topic of discussion in your expertise.

Now go make those moves!
