Who I would like to meet

by Adrienne A. Wallace on Saturday, May 26, 2012 at 8:24pm ·

I think from time to time of some of the people that I would want to meet if I could transcend all time:
Gilgamesh, Sun Tsu, Plato, Confucius, Alexander, Archimedes, Caesar, Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad, Moses William the Conqueror, Hideyoshi, Shakespeare, Musashi, Basho, Voltaire, Franklin, Mozart, Hokusai, Monet, Einstein, Usui, Churchill, Ghandi, Queen Nefertiti, a woman said to be named “ Rosa Lee,” Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Dr. Seuss, Lewis Carroll, Robert Nesta Marley, Louie Armstrong, Neil Armstrong, Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, Jacob Lawrence, Uriah Wallace, Mother Theresa, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Coretta Scott King, President Barack Obama, our first woman President ( I might have already met her) my future child(ren) and their children, the person who prays for me ceaselessly that I may never meet yet I just know he/she exists...

How people respond to this list will always tell me who really wants to meet me. Truly. That is all (for now).

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."

The DNA of relationships- The easiest science I know

The DNA of relationships- The easiest science I know One night, I spoke with someone who I just met earlier in the year, This is a person who is quickly becoming a cherished friend. Talking with her and the few things we said to each other allowed me to think deeply about relationships and particularly friendships. If you knew me well, then you would know that I believe that the way to measure a relationship can be as simple as "How you feel when you hang up the phone. " I implore anyone who talks to me and also ask myself these questions: Was Love expressed? Was there Laughter? Was there Honesty? Was there good intent for tomorrow? Where we centered during the conversation? Did we listen to each other? Am I eager to see, encounter, hang with this person and talk with him / her again? These are things that I can decipher from a 5 minute phone call. The answers are revealed in the DNA© that builds the conversation. For me there are only two types and no hybrids exist. Yea...
