Don't Renege on The Opportunity To Thank Someone If They've Made Implemental Positive Contributions to Your Organization

Happy New Year everyone!!!! Wow 2013 was full of surprises some good and some not so good. That being said it seemed like the year moved so quickly. I was down to the final week of the year getting set goals accomplished... whew!!!! Some of them seemed trivial but was great in getting 2014 started on the right track. I have some goals in 2014 that I will build off of from completed or started objectives in 2013.

2014 is the year of overhaul. A year of review, adjustments and actionable measures and steps toward areas of needed improvement and on to the finish line with great momentum (hopefully with more things accomplished than anticipated)

As I was reviewing guess what I learned? If you are hard on yourself others will take it as a sign not to honor you properly. Being vigilant about set goals can make others look past your contributions and magnify areas that perhaps have not been as significant as the contributions you've made.

Here's the example, let's say you donate funds to 3 areas and you can readily see these donations at work. You've given something to build on. However, the next year you only donate to 2 but you're never thanked for the 2 areas because the previous year it was 3. There's something to be said about never wanting to give credit where credit is due. Of course this is just an analogy to help your understanding.

The point is to connect your words to your dreams and your dreams to your words. While in the process it's okay to thank others for their contributions it does go toward good morale. It's disheartening if you provide wonderful project leadership that advances the company in areas of profits, leadership, recognition and no one ever says a heartfelt word or thank you. Wouldn't it be nice to be thanked respectfully for that. I'll say it would.

So let's connect our visions to our words and join one another in celebrating leadership.  Of course we work on areas of improvement but we don't forget to make acknowledgements either.

Here's to a wonderful and exciting year in 2014!!!!!

Be Very Blessed....

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 ...
