February


It's February already. I have not liked this month for years. It has been marked by death and heartbreak for me in the past and so I am not too fond of it.

However I decided that I would not live in the past..I will live in the now and i am looking forward to meeting people in their now state of being. But ..it is Black History Month? Please ...that would be every month! Slavery, the Civil Rights movement, and all the rest that impacted people of color did not happen in any given February alone.

Honor me always is the call. Standing on the backs of our ancestors and living the fruits of their sacrifice deserves recognition every single day. I salute them all in daily prayers.

God Bless their souls and grant me the spirit and fervor much like those people who sacrificed, invented, advocated, and sacrificed had to transform this time to being an even better time.

Oh and Valentine's Day? Never met that Saint Valentine and I love deeply, demonstratively every day. This however is the year that I am most concentrated on living in a way that allows me to experience my truest love. This will not be someone's picture or belief but instead it is the experiences that pull at my heart strings and make me feel most motivated to give it up, back, forever.

I wish you a peaceful and short, February 2010. I certainly know that it is my responsibility to make it worthy of a contagious smile and build better memories each day. I am on my way. So okay...Happy February folks!

LETTING GO....

  L-E-T-T-I-N-G    G-O You have seen these words before..yes? Very simply written in nine letters. “L e tting  go .” Why does it make you uncomfortable?  It is simply an action that you as a human being experience every single day, just by physically and chemically existing.  It is an action that occurs when you have complete trust in your intuition ; that heaven sent voice inside of you. You know the one you may not always agree with, but the angels are so fond of you ..they send it into your ears, head, heart , and sometimes your eyes? If you are reading this your eyes open and they shut very quickly ..it is called "blinking" but in fact it is letting go and it happens very quickly. As we blink old light goes away and we allow new light to come in …seeing the next moment. As you turned on your computer or device you may have pressed a button, touched the screen, flipped a switch. As you clicked on your mouse, stroked and released keys on the k...

Where Did It Go? The question that comes when ownership is lost.

" Where Did It Go? " This is a common question asked about time, goodness, old regimes, and old relationships, memory and other than that... money and misplaced keys. Where did it go? We hear this amongst those of us who have not set a strategy and intention for what we have. This also the question that comes particularly from those of us who become all too confident in what we have but do not own. Ownership of one's talent,work, innovation, relationships and contribution is either an old or new concept in many places. What is encouraging is the ability to list our criteria for ownership and then be honest about what we truly own. Here are a few that I was thinking of today: Ownership of material things - You paid for it , don't owe anything for it to anyone Ownership of relationships - You tell the truth, engage with grace, and express mutual respect without excuses or references to what does not apply to the person you are relating to Ownership of innovation -...

Live Your Life As if Everything Is Rigged In Your Favor ..Even in Technology

I have an educational background with a top American engineering school and an Ivy League University. Society does not expect to see someone that looks like me on the campuses much less in those classrooms. Nevertheless, I did that. Several years ago, I had a White co-worker tell me that my voice on the phone and my knowledge base made him assume that I was much older and also White; so, he was shocked when he met me. He was also quite dumb because … I mean, use LinkedIn! I told him never assume anything about someone’s race based on the sound of their voice. I was already clued into the assumptions and bias that people have and offended that intelligence and articulation are deemed ” White” traits. The fact of the matter is that there is no gender or color for intelligence. However, if you ask Apple or Amazon – you’ll find that “Siri” and “Alexa” voices are predominate in their AI. I’ll leave it at that and expect the Tech world to act on what they already seem to know. I have...
