  Turn Your Missed Opportunities into Manifested Opportunities      Here's a little something to chew and ponder.  Opportunities are circumstances that allow possibilities to occur in our life (Oxford Dictionaries).  Those 5 U's opportunities are often missed resulting in unmanifested, untapped, unchartered, unmaterialized, and unrealized dreams.  Here's the thing when you decide opportunities are no longer knocking you become complacent.      I am here to tell you do not give in to common routines of life where just enough is enough.  Remind yourself that you are more than the common life. You are meant for greatness and being complacent is for average dreamers not extraordinary dreamers.  Which dreamer are you?     Imagine you are on a baseball team and it is the bottom of the 9th with all bases loaded.  The opponent team is up by 3 points, your team has 2 outs, with you at the plate.  What do you do?...

  2021 is the Year of Eviction...Eviction?     It is time to serve an eviction notice to all things in your life that have brought you the 5 U's.  Life's 5 U's is ugliness, uselessness, unfunctional, unavailable, and unavailing.  These 5 U's are not capable of adding value to your life.  In the words of my sister "this is a Year of adjustments"! You heard me, adjustments!     Stop letting the 5 U's of life rob you of life's happiness and joys.  Don't allow relationships to bring ugliness to your space.  Create a space in your life for positive energy only.  Choose to accept only those things that give you purpose, value, and aspiration.     If you are the problem then make adjustments.  Take a look in the mirror to say, "We are no longer friends, I am going to find myself a new friend.  One that values and loves me!"  Understand that if you don't value and love yourself no one else will and you will not reco...

So, I have 3 ranges of grade-level children. They are an 8-year-old 3rd grader, a 12-year-old 7th grader, and a 16-year-old 11th grader.  The district was on fall break and boredom had sat in for the youngest of the 3. At their ages sometimes they often operate in the 5 U’s state of mind being unaware, unconcerned, unsuspecting, unconscious, and unwilling to engage in siblingly companionship. So, the very opinionated, adorable, little angel decided she would use her free time creating math tests for her brother's. The oldest brother happens to come downstairs just as she completes his test. "Oh! Hi, Nate here's your test!" "What? Cap! I am not taking a test. I am on break. No way! You can't be for real! Girl! Go find something else to do." In good mommy fashion, just take the test. Nate continues to protest. "Wait no!"  Even though he doesn't agree, he sits down to take the test being the good brother that he is. "Hey, Siri!" Lit...
