Eye Spy...We Spy...

Out the other day on me and Caydens walk we spyed a cool grungy trash can! So small but i love this kind of stuff...



Its the weirdest things that grab your attention. The norm gets overlooked, so if you're looked at as the weird one as long as you're true to YOU...you will stand out to those that matter. I want my son to never be afraid to be who he wants to be not what others feel he should be because peoples change and trends change so you will never be able to keep up. I love our walks, we were all over Capitol Hill and Eastern Market and Cayden actually stayed up and enjoyed the walk :-)

We also came up on the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop...they have tons of classes so we will be checking them out in the future. Spend time with the kiddies, it does make a difference...a walk a talk a hug a good laugh, anything! The best things in life are definitely FREE...

TUPAC BACK!!

It's soooo amazing how technology allows you to pretty much bring people back from the dead! Below is a video from the Coachella music festival showing a hologram performance from the late and great Tupac!

I was just saying to myself I have to make it to this music festival one year. They have sooo many great artists and performances and I definitely have to experience it in the future...

 

I hope you enjoyed....I know I would've been stuck in a zone during the entire performance!

LA....

Just thinking about LA...I can't wait to get back!!  We are planning to go in October for my Mom's marathon and I'm sooo anxious already!  LA weather alone will make you want to book a one way flight, minus the earthquakes lol

This pic is from when I was there a few years ago and I can't wait til we meet again.  Until then I'll stay in La La Land in my dreams....

Hopefully we'll get to stunt in the Benz again!!

Positive Flow...

I saw this post on twitter last week and meant to blog about it but I had forgotten...


Im sure we all can relate to this...we all have those we want to help so bad but they just always seem to have issues, many they bring onto themselves and we feel obligated to save. Many people dont want to be saved they just are accustomed to chaos and hope you give them the advice they want to "hear" but they really dont want to take action to live a peaceful life...

Taking on the burdens of others slowly tears away at your inner self. Of course if you care about the person you will get frustrated, mad, sad etc and those are emotions we want to experience the least so its best to stay far far away unless truly necessary. But if you find yourself constantly listening to sob stories, drama and just downright negativity...runnnn....really really fast!! Before you know it you will find yourself feining for that chaos subconciously..

Sometimes we have to give tough love, they will thank you later.

Just Talk...

I think I've spoke on communication before but it is a bigggg contributing factor to whether or not a relationship (friends or significant others) will sink or float!  But the hardest part is to get a person to communicate or feel comfortable enough to communicate with someone else.  At the end of the day it boils down to detaching from your fears of the reaction you will get.  Playing both sides as a good listener and communicator can affect and improve communication skills.  We at times feel that a person will over react because that is what WE will do if we hear something that doesn't line up with what we want to hear.  But we definitely have to be receptive to the truth or just another persons feelings or opinions.  It takes one time to criticize a person for how they feel and the walls of communication come tumbling down....

I know I can be on the side of holding things in because I don't want to hurt a person's feelings, I don't want to hear their real reaction (even though we say we do...WE CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH)!!  I also seen someone post on twitter how it is necessary to express yourself, good and bad things....that is how we remove those who aren't meant to be around and gain those who ARE meant to be around.  I definitely agree but a lot of times we want to keep around the same people and are afraid to grow and get what we need from the new friends and associates that are waiting to help us move forward....

Just a random thought and reminder to myself of how I need to constantly work on communicating and being an even better listener....

"Marcy to Barclays"

New ad from Jigga man...one word to describe it...EVOLUTION

One small idea can snowball into man great ideas. Like my previous blog stated, never despise small beginnings (Zechariah 4:10). That's what I'm trying to focus on now days, the small things and small beginnings. Taking advantage of ALL opportunities presented, not just ones that seem like will make a quick buck but ones that will allow me to mature and grow on the road to success.

I surely prayed for patience...God is definitely answering this prayer :-)

First Day Back....

So today is my first day back to work and apart from my little man! :-(( I'm only in on MOndays and Tuesdays for this month then 5 days a week! I'm doing good...I haven't harassed my Ma to death, she's actually called me because I'm sure she knows I want to call her LOL! His Tia Morgan and Maikia are there also so pray he doesn't come back spoiled :-) I've loaded my office with his pics and I can't stop looking at the clock waiting for us to be reunited again...I love that little guy!

Just had to write to keep a sane mind...thank you Lord for your strenffff!

Mommy Loves You Cayden Mannnnnnn <3

Appreciation...

Just a quick post, people love to know that they are appreciated. Take the time out today to show a friend, loved one etc. how much they are appreciated. Whether it's a text, card or just a call to say thank you. When gratitude is shown it makes others want to continue to do more and not feel their actions are going unnoticed.

Just something that was on my mind and I thought I'd share! :-))

Never Despise Small Beginnings....

I'm a big fan of Tyler Perry, not just because of his movies but his overall message he sends as well as his story. I saw this video posted on FB and had to post it!

This was so on point for me!!! I have the tendency to despise small beginnings especially if I'm putting my all into something and it seems like efforts are going unnoticed. I'm always looking for the fireworks and the big break when like in the video, things can change instantly AT THE RIGHT TIME. I will just continue to prepare as far as my passion is concerned and the progression of my family.

Everyone has to start from somewhere and that waiting period is for a reason. Anything worth having is waiting for. Sometimes we feel like what's the point of taking the long way to our goals and dreams but staying the course promotes longevity. Shortcuts have short results....

Continue to be inspired!
