Smile :)

Smile :)

Let us always meet each other with a smile,
for the smile is the beginning of love.
– Mother Teresa

Peace begins with a smile.
– Mother Teresa

If in our daily life we can smile,
if we can be peaceful and happy,
not only we, but everyone will profit from it.
This is the most basic kind of peace work.
– Thich Nhat Hanh

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word,
a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring,
all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
– Leo F. Buscaglia

Just smiling goes a long way toward making you feel better about life.
And when you feel better about life, your life is better.
– Art Linkletter

May the world be kind to you,
and may your own thoughts be gentle upon yourself.

Parents have more POWER than they realize!

Parents have more POWER than they realize!

In addition to being a Life Coach I am also a school administrator, I have worked in the education system for 24 years now. For the last 15 years I have worked, well, really played  (I LOVE My Job) as a school administrator and I have heard a lot, however, there are things that still make me shake my head!

Example:
Having a beautiful girl tell me that her dad tells her she is a drama queen as she cries to him and tells him her sister is harassing/bullying at home broke my heart this week!

My partner in crime and I had to go into damage control attempting to make this dad’s statement less lethal to his daughter as she cried her little eyes out in my office. My partner in crime in her infinite wisdom told her, hey, don’t worry about it, guys are dumb! They don’t know what they are talking about! She then turns and ask me, isn’t that right? Me being the silly adult that I am had to stop myself from cracking up. Believe it or not, this lighten up the mood, The little girl  laughed and for a minute the tears were gone, however, the hurt was real.

As a school administrator there are things I just can’t say to parents, though sometimes I tell them more than I should, I actually have life coaching sessions with some of my parents FREE of charge, however, some issues are just so out of reach.Why doesn’t a Dad know that dismissing his little girl’s feelings are causing her damage? Does he realize the POWER of his words? We are going to assume that he cares and he wants to do BETTER! We are going to assume that if he could do BETTER he would do BETTER!

Parents, your words are SUPER Powerful! None of us should use our words in a negative manner towards our children or any children for that matter.

Is that possible?
Yes, it is!
All you have to do is think before you speak! When you are angry, don’t say anything! And if by chance you do say something to your child that would dim their GOD Light, just apologize and let them know that you won’t do it again!’

Please try hard not to use negative words towards your children!

Forty-Days of a Peace Youth Symposium

peace-on-earth-islamOn Saturday, My Sorority (Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc.) had the Honor of hosting the 40 days of Peace Youth Symposium. We had over 300 individuals attend and many of them were young people.

We had a panel of experts speak to the young people. We had a pastor/professor/major of a city in Miami,  a Chief of Police for a local community college, a community college professor, a mother who after her child was murdered started  RJT Foundation, Inc.
“Women Supporting Families of Murdered Children” (please check out her website: www.rjtfoundation.com), and a pastor.

I listened as intently as I could possibly listen under the stress of thinking that I myself had to go up on stage at the end and also speak. One thing that I heard said time and time again is what I want to share here. I am sharing it because I heard this message over and over again, last week in different venues so I know I MUST share.

The main idea I heard at this symposium for our young people was,that  our thoughts create our experiences. There was one young lady who  asked how can she who lives in the inner city, who is confronted with violence at every turn, how can she have peace? How can she not retaliate when that is the world she lives in? The answer was the same. Just because you are surrounded by violence, doesn’t mean you have to be part of the violence.

I read this in a blog last week, well, this is my interpretation:

thoughts + feelings = manifestation.

I will ask parents to try this exercise for the next 40 days and reply to this blog to tell me how it worked out for you.  Consider this a Life Coaching FREE session: Reflect upon an area in your parental life you will like to change (ie: screaming excessively). Decide to think differently about screaming. Feel the feeling you will have when you are no longer in need to scream at your children. What does you not screaming look like to you? How does it feel like? What do you hear?

I can’t wait to hear from each and everyone of you that read this blog.

By the way, I decided that for the next 40 days I will not loose my Peace when it comes to my children! I am not going to get upset when they are listening to POP That Pandora and sing it, I have no clue on what they are saying and  that drives me NUTS! This is day two, so far so good!

There are no manuals for being a Parent!

Can you remember?

Can you remember?

Parents, can you remember what your mother told you when you were 6 years old? Do you remember that she told you that you could not do that! Perhaps your Dad told you that you were too little to play that game, or your sister kept calling you names. and the name calling hurt your feelings. Do you remember how it made you feel?

Now, you are an adult with children of your own. Remember those feelings when you want to tell your child that he/she can’t, or you want to call them a name or without thinking you say something that you can tell made them feel bad.

STOP!

Don’t do it!

Remember, they  won’t forget it!

2 Basic Principles for Creating Your Reality

2 Basic Principles for Creating Your Reality.

My GOD is different than Your GOD!

God

What makes this world go around is the fact that GOD gave us ALL free will! You can read it in the Bible. The first chapter of the bible called Genesis explains exactly what GOD was thinking when He/She/It  made Our world.

I had a discussion with a friend yesterday who thought my idea of my GOD was border line blasphemy, however I stand by my idea of GODGOD Is a Good GODGOD is not a punishing GOD. I personally think that GOD would have been BETTER off if He/She/It would have just left us as He/She/It  intended. You see, GOD didn’t mean for us to have FREE Will at first. When I told my friend that I thought they were going to choke on their spit, but it is true. Adam and Eve were doing just find, until, well you know the story! The way Adam & Eve were living was GOD‘s original intention! Seriously, read Genesis and you will see!

The point is that now we do have FREE Will! We can do what we want, when we want, with whom we want and the like. Now, here is how my GOD differs from the GOD that others serve! My GOD is not busy trying to keep score on who does what to whom! That is why we have Karma! My GOD Is Every where present! My GOD knows Everything there is to know! My GOD is a forgiving GOD! You see GOD ONLY wants our BEST! GOD is our Parent! For those of you that are Parents, think of all the good you want for your children and times that desire times a Billion; that is what GOD wants for each one of Us.

Here is another shocker about My GOD! There is a piece of GOD in each one of us waiting for us to bring Him/Her/It  into expression! You decide whether you will allow GOD to shine through you. How? By your actions and reactions!

Another shocker! GOD (My GOD) is not a punishing GOD! My GOD is a GREAT GOD! My GOD does not keep score of your deeds. There is no such thing as Heaven and Hell as a place that you go to when you die. In My World, Heaven and Hell are RIGHT HERE! Now, I know some of you have already deleted this post from your lives, but here me out those of you that are still here. Heaven and Hell are right here! Heaven and Hell are states of mind that we decide we want to enjoy. Sure bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people, but I will assure you  that the GOD I serve is not making decisions on who gets what! GOD Is a GREAT GOD!

There are certain experiences we all have to go through in order to become the person we were Destined to become! It ALL depends upon how you look at the experiences that you are going through right now!

Example, I have been an Assistant Principal (AP) for 15 years now, most AP’s that went through the Principal Academy with me are now Principals. My choice, heaven or hell.

Hell – I could be bitter and become a horrible worker with no ethics because the power that are in place are over looking me.

Heaven (my choice) – my time will come, I will be a Principal, I will be an Exceptional Instructional Leader. “Everything happens for a reason & everything happens for my Highest good!  In GOD‘s time! GOD‘s knows BEST, remember GOD is ALL knowing. In the meantime, I do my BEST everyday, I am Grateful for my job, and I know, that I know that my time will come and when it does, I will be the BEST Principal Ever! That is Heaven!

The GOD I serve is more than likely different than your GOD! My GOD is not a punishing GOD and My GOD  is waiting for you to bring Him/Her/It into expression! Trust me, Your Life will be BETTER for it!
