Morning Reading – What better way to get your mind right about family, work and personal life. Essence Magazine has my favorite twins on the cover, Tia and Tamera. They have working mommyhood. I just love it! That’s my go to read on my Nook tablet this morning.
Alright, I have to run my Metra Train stop is approaching.
Have an awesome day ladies!!!
As Lil Reese would say “We about that action.” (It’s a Chicago thing)
MommyMakinMoves is gearing up for the flood of Spring events. Expect to see us everywhere. Don’t be afraid to speak!
Hope to see you at the “50 Most Wanted Women of Distinction” event Hosted by Six Brown Chicks at Red Kiva this Thursday.
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,

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.

Be open to learn something from those people. Co-workers, business partners, customers etc. have something that belongs to you. Knowledge!
Go get it
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!

Whew! It’s been a long week. Daily work Fire drills ( that’s what we call last minute request) leave you exhausted and playing catch up.
On top of that, Commuting is a complete energy sucker but it has its perks. Not battling Chicago Traffic is a plus. Especially on days like today when President Obama will be in the Hyde Park area rallying support for Stricter Gun Control Legislation.
Yes my Metra commute is much needed . A sanctuary of peace to clear my head. A cozy seat and good book is my homie right now. Right now I’m reading “Can You Stand to be Blessed” by T. D Jakes.. It’s a throwback.
Peep the picture of Jakes with hair lol.
Have a blessed and productive day! I’ll check in with you soon.
Sincerely,
MommyMakinMoves
