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...

Show some respect. He is not your companion. He is your Commander -In - Chief.

The blatant and horrid disrespect of our Nation's President started long before the State of the Union address where he was called a " liar"  and continues with  even worse name calling and racial attacks. Our President may be referred to as the following:  " Mr. President", "The Honorable Barack Obama", "His Excellency,  Barack Obama", and of course President Obama.  Nothing less is acceptable. Even referencing him by first name alone (as many people do) is out of line unless you are First Lady Michelle Obama. While I think we are a global family, I also think these ongoing episodes do much to  further segregate America and give it the image of our country as a place of disgrace, disuntity, and hate. Imagine trying to explain it to a 5 year old who followed the campaign and elections with her family and proudly declared that " Our President is Barack Obama and Ms. Michelle looks like my Nana." (*my heart breaks for ...

Ask and it is answered: Companies and Social Networks - April 2009

Should a company build it's own social network or should it just join the ones out there that already exist? I think many companies will want to build their own social networks in order to moderate, control, dictate , and ultimately impact the branding message in favor of the organization. When you decide to host a dinner party, your guests are typically going to eat some of what you have decided to serve. It's like that when a company builds their own social network. PR and Marketing end up being in full play. Should they doe this? Absolutely. NING, Linkedin, and even A SMALL WORLD allow for this type of action. However, as much as a company may try ..it is truly difficult to exist in a bubble and the newer platforms ,i.e. Twitter seem to make it less likely as people choose to lend their ears or not. Who doesn't want the data and qualitative feedback of the consumers that manifest the cult at their disposal?. Companies dependent on wide scale and diverse consumer demog...
