Looking Back to go Forward

As I stated, we are closing out the first decade of the 21st Century. I thought it would be interesting to go back to the 20th Century and see what my goals were. I went back to 1999 and suffice it to say I wasn't surprised to see the vision I had written for my life. I was relieved to see that I had accomplished some things. However, there was still more for me to do. My journal entry consisted of 13 goals. One of those 13 goals was traveling around the world. I still have that to accomplish. In addition I was looking at school opportunities as well (3 of them), business endeavors and other wonderful things. What I found interesting is that 3 of those dreams I'm still hoping to see come to past.

With that, here's what I know for sure: Not all people will encourage you and your dreams. Make sure you surround yourself with people who love, support and care for you. Those who will embrace your vision.  I  can remember when I heard the term dream killers and at the time I thought it was a harsh 2 word term. But I've learned that there are dream killers and stealers who will not hesitate to seize the opportunity to steal your dream, life and anything else they didn't have the courage to develop or dream on their own. I've also learned that you have to be just as determined to hold on to your dreams as those who want to steal them.

With that there is a famous song that says "Hold on to your dreams" and I plan on doing just that.

Moments in Love (I shared this with you in 2013) I thought it was a great way to say hello again and wish you Happy Valentines Day

Moments in Love (Reflections by Taneisa Grier) Real & true love isn't sacrificial. Only fools choose to loose time for tomorrows that aren't promised. It's our "todays" love that even carries us to the future love. Find me a "man" who’s experienced health and prosperity and see if he discounts love as being a measure of that blessing. To each its own though. But for me-bid me a love that is true and sweet. A memory of a portion of "good" love may seem like forever in a short span of time. The feeling never leaving and the essence of a touch, though fading still remembered.   "I traced his steps back to the place" where I first exhaled and realized the beauty of this moment is in the feelings that I carry away after the exchange. If fleeting, we might call it lust. But if this pure moment is lasting, we have just seen the love of God in each of us, mirrored reflection of "on earth as it is in heaven". Might I be a b...

Stairwells to the 2nd-3rd Floor Pretty Uncommon in Hospitals

I really was hesitant to write about this on my blog. The content seemed a bit dark and well not the news topic I wanted to write about on Awesome. But I couldn't help it. I was compelled because I thought for all the steps one would take on their pedometer, in some places, it would begin once you took the elevator to the 2nd floor hmmm. Getting to the point- I realized how easy it was for a women to be in the stairwell of a hospital and not be found until several days or weeks afterwards, and that's because many health professionals at hospitals don't take the stairs. What!!!!! That's right long gone are the days for steps you once trekked in jr. high, high school and college. So what if something is wrong with elevator well there must be a plan C because plan B is likely not the steps. To be fair I can understand why you'd monitor the steps and the hospitals. They should be. Good security never hurts. However, to not know the diagram or layout makes my eyes wide...

Back to School and kind gestures

So I think we're in to the swing of things. Children have an idea of teacher's expectations are and teachers have done a few assessments on their students and where their strengths and weaknesses allow. You're past the back to school jitters and have begun to actually build on the learning and education you received last year. This is why this post isn’t really amount the traditional aspect of education but about character building. I know it's a sensitive subject at times but it's time to observe and correct our children in terms of behavior. For those of you who don't have to do it it's wonderful you've probably done a great job in those early years and it's second nature for a student to think about their behavior and how they represent their family away from home. If I can digress for a minute, growing up that was a big conversation piece at our dinner table. We were always told when you walk out that door you represent our family. I don't ...
