CELEBRATE the little VICTORIES
Tough times are minor obstacles for tough people. One way to flip the script on trauma is to celebrate the little victories as you work toward success. For example, Of course, these are worst-case scenarios (for a reason). If we think of the worst thing that could happen in a failed situation, then we canContinue reading “CELEBRATE the little VICTORIES”

WHAT IS GOOD?
Doing good is good! But how do we know what is GOOD without acknowledging a Good God??? May this message reach all those in political authority over us (for an elected season, thank God!!!!). May they understand that it is not what I say that makes something good. And it is certainly not what “you”Continue reading “WHAT IS GOOD?”
A necessary respite while lending a helping hand
 I’ve been practicing Proverbs 3:27—“Whenever you possibly can, do good to those who need it” —in a different way. While doing so, I thought I’d catchup on my magazine reading in the quiet times. Do you see the deadline on the page? Yes. I’m long overdue. #writersdigest Does anyone else have a small pileContinue reading “A necessary respite while lending a helping hand”

For as long as I can remember we (members of the NAACP) celebrated Jubilee day on the first Sunday ofContinue reading “Happy Juneteenth Day!”
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY
Today is FATHER’S DAY 👔 And I celebrate all the dads and fathers, granddads, Pops, and Papas. As I stated in a previous post, I know you “guys” get the short end of the “holiday” stick. It is my belief that we have trained men to not care about that kind of stuff, but IContinue reading “HAPPY FATHER’S DAY”
FAVORITE TV OR MOVIE DADS
Since FATHER’S DAY is Sunday, June 19 👔I figured I’d celebrate them for the rest of the month. Why stop at the 19th when I did not start on the first? Right?
