I’m a work in progress with this. 

Today's Thought: Shine On Your Terms

 

There's no timeline when you're supposed to shine. If we're honest, some people want you to shine on their terms so they can ride your coattails.

Today's Thought

 If we're honest, some people in skilled trades make far more than college-educated people. Not everyone is cut out for college, but everyone is capable of learning a skilled trade to support themselves. Also, if the person gets good enough at their trade, they can go the self-employment route.

Ahmaud Arbery Killing, Part 1: A Mother’s Fight for Justice Brings Shock...

This case is slam dunk: Ahmaud Arbery was murdered, period. Make it so bad, William Roddie Bryant was stupid enough to leak video because they were confident they would get away with it; that’s why this case was handled very sloppy. I can’t wait for October 18th, which is the beginning of the trial.

Today's Thought

A big shout out to all the kids that don't win awards, don't make honor roll, don't play sports, and who barely make it through the school year. A big hug to the moms, dads, grandparents, caregivers, mentors, and foster parents that stick by them as they navigate the school year.

Shout out to the kids that don’t get invited to the prom, didn’t get a scholarship to college, and those who have to go straight to work out of high school....You are also worthy of a pat on the back and a Facebook post with people talking about how amazing you are.

Everyone isn't an Honors Student, Academic Scholar, Incredible Athlete or a Musical/Artistic Genius. Some kids have to work twice as hard, just to be "average". Some kids don't make the team. Some kids don't get noticed. Their achievements deserve recognition too. 

Don’t forget those kids. Please encourage them as well. 

Kindness, Creativity, Uniqueness, and Generosity are attributes that sadly don’t always get the accolades they deserve. ❤❤❤ 

Nothing To Prove

 

I'm learning to let folks look stupid when they make false accusations about me because more often than not, time will always show otherwise, and then the accusers end up looking dumber than before.

Avoidance

People weren't scared to do you wrong, why avoid accountability? Folks can't avoid consequences forever because at some point, all of us will account for everything, good and bad
