Misunderstood

Have you ever said something to someone and they took it all wrong? In this age of computer technology, we have forgotten the value of an old fashioned face to face disagreement. Two sides can express their feelings. Come to a resolution: win,loose, or draw. Move forward. At a symposium i visited on bullying, the speaker said something profound. Women take things personally based off the games they played as children which normally include a personified doll or bear. While men can move on because they played games that were competitive and had a winner. What are we saying? Conversations can bring about conflicting views. But, don't let a situation get you off your square. Just communicate clearly and move on. Some people will never be satisfied no matter what you do. More over, life goes on.

On Columbus Day Misa (P Diddy's ex) was on a radio show. She has a fashion school in New York. She said she doesn't like to say what is hot. This is because everyone looks great in different things. Proclaiming only trendy items will pressure avid followers to ascribe to those limited styles. I agree. We all flock to trends and the next year, we have to purchase more clothes.  I go for timeless pieces.  I mix and match and create my own version of something I seen on the street.  I love to watch people for their style.  However, I know what I can pull off and what I can't.  Wear what fits and feels good.  After all, you make the clothes, the clothes don't make you fly girl. 

Golden Rule Days

It's October and over a month of secondary education has passed us by.  Where does the time go?  Whether your little one started in August or September, a cold front has moved in on the east coast and school is in full throttle.  Everyone begins with an A.  It is up to them to keep the A.  Nowadays it is common for an elementary school teachers to send home a packet of work to be completed by Friday.  She will go over the concepts during the week. 
On the other hand, in high school, the work is assigned nightly.  Might I say, these children get way more work than I did when I was in school.  Or was it that I didn't complete the work?  Either way, if your little one is having a little difficulty now with the work, get help.  Sometimes it can be as simple as asking if the child can stay after school for an hour.  This will allow for the one on one time that the child may need to boost their studies.  Now is the time to call the schools and the nearest community centers and see what can be done to keep our little ones on track before it's too late. 

Prayer !

Prayer works! The power of prayer is great when we believe. We must believe God is one who will reward those who diligently seek Him.  The issue is we often let life situations discourage us.  We count our blessings out before God adds them in.  This puts us at a disadvantage because then we have completed Satan's job for him.  Is that what we want to do?  Help our enemy?  God forbid!  Let's gird up our loins with truth and do what we know to work.  A hymn says "O what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry, everything to God in prayer." Let's talk to God like we talk to our bff or our lover.  As oft as time allows and watch Him work.  Oh what a show.
