I am a wife and widow, I am parent but not a friend to my children, I am a community servant, I am joy, pain, sunshine, and rain. Thank you for visiting About Me.

A Closer Look

Great Afternoon and thank you for sharing this platform with me. I won’t be before you very long, but this will be strong and intentional. We live in the freest country in the world, but yet 76% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck & 50 million are on Food Stamps/D-SNAP and we’re BROKE! We are time broke, financially broke, and personal freedom broke. Broke is just broke.

We work long hours constantly and miss out on our memorable family events because we have to provide food, clothing, and shelter for our families. That is well and fine, but we are building someone else’s empire. We need to get a Plan B while we have our Plan A. We need to help one another, pool our resources when necessary, and keep each other uplifted. So, we All can WIN for our families and push the poverty line so far away that the next generations to infinity might have problems, but MONEY will not be one of them.

Life happens, but being broke is optional from this point forward. In life 10% accounts for what happens and 90% equates for how you respond. If the path is not clear…let’s make the path and push through. Life is what everyone has but Lifestyle is how you choose to live it.

It’s time to break generational curses, roll up our sleeves, and let’s Got To Work and give ourselves a Raise! Refuse to accept our current situation as our conclusion. WE will never know if something works or not unless we try. How do you think 409 was named? Because at the 408th try the inventor refused to give up and tried one more time and that’s how 409 got its name. Share your thoughts. Ciao for now♡

The Dash

Do you realize or know your schedule? Why are you here? What makes you important? Let’s delve right into this experience. First, your schedule—you may have been a planned birth or not. In any event if you are reading this, then you were born…right? Did you arrive early, late, or on-time? Nonetheless, you arrived, so you must have a purpose…yes? Your purpose in life, as God originally created man, is 1) glorify God and enjoy fellowship with Him, 2) have good relationships with others, 3) work, and 4) have dominion over the earth. In essence Your Purpose shows your importance. This is your definition on Your Dash—so self-reflect, self-inspect, be impactful, and “do not celebrate success for it’s arrival if it’s only you in the spotlight”—(Mr. Donald Bradley, documented Millionaire). Give back, pull someone else up with you and encourage them to do the same. If you struggle with this and cannot see the vision “borrow someone else’s vision until you get your own”—(Mr. Orlanda Moore, 6 Figure Earner & My Success Coach). One final inference: everyone is Not deserving of time or your talent; therefore, know this upfront and early and stop giving them your watch! Ciao for now▪☆

Vision

 

Many hands lightens a heavy load. We were born for success, but have been programmed for failure. Abundance is our birthright. (John 10:10).

 If you can’t see the vision to your success borrow some else’s until you can. Think of Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry and where they started; look at them now. How did 409 get the name? Because of 408 failed attempts and they finally got it right.

 Celebrate the small successes and embrace the failures. We all have to go through to come out; if you are going through hell—keep going! Don’t be afraid to share along the way because you never know whose rescue may be attached to you. Make today great—it is a choice! And my choice is Great because I said so and you do the same!

 

 

To Keep or Not?

To Keep or Not–when it hurts bad enough you should know, but maybe not. If we look beyond the horizon and stop wishing for what was and self-examine first, because this is a must. What lessons have you learned, what lessons have you earned, what lessons have you taught, what lessons have you fought, and what lessons have you bought? Pretty enlightening when you answer to all of those what’s…huh? Do you continue to escape when darkness falls or do you cover your eyes when the sunrise? Either way, the call to action is still unanswered—To Keep or Not?

Hello World

Did you know “Hello World” is the first output you get in writing a computer program? A little irony here for me, I happen to have studied computer programming and this was my first output and today I put out my inaugural blog post. When I first thought about blogging several months ago my first blog title I thought of was “Beer Cans & Butterflies; however, I just was not quite feeling this topic today. Nonetheless, I will be discussing different topics from time to time and also soliciting topics from YOU—the Reader(s). Ciao for Now!
