A conversation between two...

Every major decision should be given thought and made with great care. That is why I do not believe in or agree to unspoken expectations or hidden agendas. They are of no positive consequence and do not add value to your life.

While talking with someone they used a comparison that involved two family members and their birthrights. The analogy is derived from a famous story in the bible. I was really perplexed by the analogy and had to give it a great deal of thought. I didn't understand what they were trying to convey put it did provoke my consciousness regarding the strength and love of relationships.

To honor or value any relationship you must have open communication. It would be dangerous emotionally and otherwise to share your life with someone who did not value what is significant to you or what is rightfully yours. Value added relationships are a positive addition to your life not a detraction. Be cautious with those who have no thought to the important things in your life. Communication allows individuals in a relationship to determine best interest. We go through life and share a great deal with many but important factors should be reserved for a select few. Why?
There are several types of relationships and you can distinguish them by how well you communicate and value you each other. How you value one another determines the strength of the relationship. Love does not put one in bondage but it finds an agreeable means by which two or more can exist together.

I grew up hearing, how can two walk together unless they agree. The older I get the more I know it to be true. This can apply to every important relationship you have.

During this month heading into the next, look for thought provoking questions and discussions on the value and impact of positive relationships

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...

TO THE GRADUATE 2016

TO THE GRADUATE 2016 August 1, 2016 To myself, students, and life learners who understand the value of education, knowledge and wisdom. Getting to graduation feels like a voyage with topsy turvy winds. You finally get the hang of it and realize wow I made it –destination arrived. The last day of your final class come and gone or in the fast approaching and the walk across the once elusive stage is near; it’s actually within reach closer than it’s ever been. The day to change the tassel on your graduation cap to the left has arrived. The last door to the academic building you spent the most time in closes behind you. It was designed with lecture rooms and they happened to house many of your secret dreams over the last 4-5 years. And the sometimes sun shadowed hallways lead the way to several doors that will take you to success and journeys which lead to accomplishments.  photo courtesy of the internet The Commencements both an end and beginning to the possibilit...

Where to...

Thought for the day Ethics should not be reduced so low that we ravage the innocence, moral character, or integrity of society. To do so is to morally bankrupt the fabric of our existence. You don't want to look around and have to wonder if there is anything good left to hold on to. I'll tell you the truth, TV has really opened my eyes. As I've said in previous posts, I've never been a big TV watcher. But the past several months has been a provocation of sorts. Many revelations have been positive and insightful but a great deal more have been heartbreaking. Albeit most shows are meant to entertain but, they still create opportunities to learn, often indicating we've got to check our internal compass to make sure we are headed in a positive direction, making our world a better place to live.
