On Monday, I didn't get a position because I'm looking older. It wasn't said so starkly, but words like vibrant and fresh kept popping up. It's hard to explain unless you were there. There to see their expression as they see your face for the first time. There to hear the disappointed tone in their voices before they even ask the first question. I'm no longer a dewy youth. I'm 42.

Many believe that good personal hygiene and isolation is the key to keeping children safe and effective in disease prevention. Although teaching your children how to have personal hygiene is definitely a key role to staying healthy, it is only part of a solution in disease prevention. by Diyah Pinckney
Most times the food we love looks more complex than it really is. If you love sesame broccoli like I do then this recipe will save you money and gas. You can also replace the broccoli with chicken, pork, or shrimp since this recipe is all about the sauce. Lets begin! by Lorrie Irby Jackson featured in Briefing an Edition Of The Dallas Morning News
She was tall, thin and matronly, with cat’s-eye glasses and a helmet of salt-and-pepper curls. Her name was Lola Garrison, and she was my sixth-grade teacher. A sweet, soft-spoken woman who rarely raised her voice, Mrs. Garrison once chastised a flip-at-the-lip female classmate of mine by uttering, in a sharp tone that she rarely used, a gem of advice that has stayed with me ever since: “All ladies are women, but not all women are ladies.” by Jett Ray
Amongst all the other planned activities of the weekend, I spent a great amount of time doing some soul-searching and motive-checking. Making sure the reasons I am going about my business are worth the struggle and will benefit more than just my ego. I don’t want to be self-absorbed and blind to what goes on around me. by Professor Chris Green
It's Only A Test-------Because You're the Best----Since You know you are the BEST----you know it's only a TEST What do I mean by that statement? Simple.

So what has happened to our black or African-American culture since 1615? What progress has been made? - We are no longer in physical chains. Note the word the physical by Gyan Gather At some point in your life, your definition of fun should no longer mean doing you, partying, dating, running wild, and getting drunk. It should change to loving someone, raising a family, and helping your community. At some point everyone needs to grow up and become an Elder and teach the next generation how to be better. Our children deserve better than they have gotten from the adults of today. Don't just tell them to be better, show them how to be better. by Syren
With all of the resources, we as Americans have to better ourselves, we still take the destructive route. I understand there is a recession going on. ( If you already broke, you really don’t see the difference) This can be the time to pursue what you really wanted to do instead of pulling everyone into your misery. What are you good at that can be seen publicly? What would you do without pay and still be happy? Build on those things. Misery loves company and right now this company has more friends than FACEBOOK. by Stephanie k Tru
It's 2011 and we are all blessed to be alive and well in the New Year. Just like me you’re probably working on plans to address all the things you want to improve and change for the better in the New Year. Below I’ve shared an “edited” exert from my up-coming book entitled The Stiletto Power Manual. Since its resolution season I thought this passagewas most appropriate. |
