Excerpt from Faith and Business by Adrienne A. Wallace

I hope you know the secrets of your own heart and can find them in your business life as much as you do in your private spaces.

Trust your instincts.
Sell only what you would buy.
Don't work for anyone who does not think that you deserve to eat what they ask you to hunt.
Promote what is real.
Maintain your integrity.
Be at peace with your God and learn from every experience of embrace or attack.
Do the work and perfect your skills. Do it now.
Innovate, change, get online and connect.
Collaborate.
Listen and learn.
Write it down.
Be humble, but not shy.
Be honorable to your customers ..
Do not deny your friends or family your time or love.
Turn off the smartphone and computers and turn on the laughter.
Connect with your heart.
Care about your team. You want the same thing.
Ask about your clients hobbies and family and mean it.
Choose what to cheer and recruit for each day.
Understand what requires private counsel.
Know who has your back.
Have faith in your risks and work for the rewards.
Ask for strength to accept what you cannot change.
Change what you can.
Remember the Golden Rule.
Practice the Golden Rule.
Embrace Diversity....GOD does.
There will be opportunities as you go along the course.
I promise and so does a much Higher Power.
At the end of each day..return home with gratitude.
When you die..let it be said that you used all you were given.
Know that the paycheck will not be noted in your eulogy.
What you give will be noted and remembered.
Expect to win.
Be happy.
(from..."Faith and Business" - Adrienne A. Wallace)

Watching my Words

Watching my words Category: Life Hello Precious Ones: This is a replay that is so necessary after a conversation I had today. Every word we utter is tied to an action; a thought stimulated by an action and vice versa. The subconscious coming to surface where things can be seen. In this time when so much is changing and business-minded folks can be drawn against their better judgment and good spirit more easily than any other time, I watch my words and mean each one that I use. " Trust, happiness, compassion ." I use these words only if I can act on them. " Peace, LOVE, Light, Kind Regards "...I use these words because I live them. "LOL" - I do it often. I want you to as well. Don’t just type it. Do it often..It requires action. Otherwise it’s just text ; just words. "P&L"..I have managed them forever in business and now and use them in notes to my personal friends. It means Profit and Loss in business capital management and Peace...

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."

Finding the Center - Then and Now

Fl ashback 1996:  There was so much going on and there always is. I woke up. I felt a racing inside.  It was as if the blood inside of me had congealed and taken on race car status.  The rush. I asked myself -  Is this just coming awake?  Or is it that thing called anxiety? Why would I be anxious? I was dutiful, prayerful ( and now still I am) . I  was doing this every day.  It was law school. One of the best in the nation. Makes me a best too no? Get up, get washed, rub and oil down.  Brush and separate. Push up against the mirror.  Check my pores. Hot rag. Cold rag.  Smooth my brows. Rub the back of my neck. Smile at myself.  Check my booty.  Rise on my toes.  Stretch my body.  Dress. Find my keys Grab my 15 pound bag of books I go.  Day after day ...I went.  One day ... I stopped.  Looked at myself.  Deeper. From Terence A. Scott's upcoming Stripped Awakened 1997 to Present day No that...
