Life at Random

Hey everyone! Did you miss me? I missed you too. Well, I just wanted to check in and say hello to you and let you know about the updated status of me. I've been doing well. God has been blessing me back to back and although in the mist of my blessings, I've also been encountering trials, however, I choose to focus on the good. So, what's new? As some of you already know, my book; I Just Want to Write! I'm so excited because it's been doing well. However, I postponed advertising it because I"ve had to really return back my focus on the Children's Zone of the Los Angeles Black Book Expo in which I am the Youth Director for because that has become a stressful situation. We've changed venue's twice, working on getting our third, but due to no fault of our own of course. So, deposits had to be returned, and schedule rearranging became more important because not only has the venues changed a couple of times, so have the dates. Now, I'm glad ...

I want to say somewhere around 2004 a lady by the name of Annette Moore who was my supervisor at the time, bought something for me. It was very special. The occasion was my birthday. Annette is the type of person that really shows an interest in whatever you are doing when she likes you and truly cares. That is how she is to me. Another thing about Annette, is when she recognizes a great worker, she acknowledges them, and she, acknowledged me often. The job that I had, didn't really pay me what I was worth at that time and she knew that, and without my knowledge she tried a few times to win me a significant raise, it just wasn't in her power to get me what she thought I should have. However, to make up for it, she paid attention to my likes, interest and hobbies and always provided me small gestures of happiness, which warmed my heart time and time again. To know that someone cared about me and appreciated me that way. With all of that said. What she bought me, was my secon...

There is no such thing as a friendly competition in my opinion. Simply because I believe that when you have a friend that is in someway finds themselves competing with you. Secretly that means they have a desire to see you beneath them. They have a drive to be the so called special one, they want something that everyone sees and knows about you, that they know they don't possess.  To me, that can grow into envy and then jealousy and as my mother always say "Jealousy is as cruel as the grave." So, when you start to see this happening, depending on who your friend is, because you're the only one who may know this person intimately; try and talk them, see where their head is at, and if you know for a fact and feel that this will never change. Then, ease your hand out of the lion's den until you've completely disappeared from their existence. Better to remove yourself gracefully than to stay and try and reason with someone that will not understand you, ...
