Being Neutral?

Leave a comment

Okay, let’s have an honest conversation. Many of us choose to remain neutral because it is much easier not to ruffle someone else feathers with our point of view. We sometimes believe that being silent will make an issue go away. However, being quiet does the complete opposite. Being silent often communicates that we do not have an opinion and that we are cool with what is happening to us and or around us. The issue never goes away when we are on the fence about sharing how we truly feel. Sometimes showing no active emotional involvement will allow a problem to keep growing until we put a stop to it by speaking up and sharing our thoughts.

Telling The Truth. Not Every Day Is A Good Day.

Ah, the age of social media. The place where everyone is having fun in the sun. A place where there is no sadness……zero tears. Every perfect moment documented for all the world to see. A place where we are following the advice of all the amazing Maya Angelou quotes…..Following all the rules of getting money and being a boss. The land where every memory and life moment is perfect. Trust me I get it If the highlights of life aren’t viewed online than it didn’t happen. I understand the process because, for six years now, my life and business do live in a world of social media. I’ve been conditioned like everyone else only to share the happier parts. Continue reading →

Lately, I have been listening to T.I. Song Dead And Gone, from his Paper Trail Album Featuring Justin Timberlake. I’ve had this song playing on repeat for days. This song speaks of my current mood. The old me is dead and gone…..dead and gone. Continue reading →

Unapologetic Living: Kelly Price

Leave a comment

It’s My Time.

Kelly Price is a legend in the R&B Game. She was one of my favorite musical artists in the 90’s and early 2000. I remember like it was yesterday sitting on my momma front porch on a beautiful Spring day singing Kelly Price song “It’s Gonna Rain.” Oh, you couldn’t tell me I didn’t sound just like Kelly Price. Kelly has never lip sing to any of her songs during a live performance, and you would never catch her singing auto-tune vocals. Kelly Price is an actual singer. Continue reading →
