Attitude Check

-
ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING…
SO CHOOSE A GOOD ONE!
Okay Folks…

First off, springtime is here and March has been one of those glorious months for me.
Trust me, coming off the tail end of a difficult period. God has been blessing me and favoring me and I am just grateful.

Today, I want to talk about attitude and how we have to be careful of the attitudes we display.
I know everyone has moods, some good and bad and sometimes our bad moods hit us at inopportune times but we can do something about those moods right?

Well, I learned today that I have to be deliberate to keep my moods in check and have the right attitude despite how I am feeling. A friend from out of town asked me to do a huge favor and commit to picking them up early from the airport taking him in town to drop off something and then returning him to the airport. Now all of this I agreed to do on a Monday morning…

Well, nothing went right this morning, I got up a little late and rushed out; was caught in a deadlock of traffic, my phone did not work, I  arrived late after the scheduled flight and had to circle the airport at least four times, until I finally realize my friend did not arrive on schedule.

I decided to go to the service station close to the airport, to see if I could have access to a phone in order to call to my friend, however it did not work…so I  did not have a clue whether the flight came in or not.

So, I returned to the airport for the fifth time and there was my friend, who politely walked over and said Bahamasair's flight was one hour late. Well, I shrugged that is pretty much a usual thing.

Now, while all of this happening, I know I was feeling a little bit bothered and frustrated but I grinned and bore it. Trust me, I felt a mood coming on but I pushed through it, smiling and nodding in our conversations. As now I have to head in town to do a drop off and turn around again to drop my friend off to catch his International Flight well over the agreed time.

I dropped off my friend in town to deliver something and as he got back in the car he gave me an envelope and I asked what it was…he said Oh, nothing.

Well, after a while I got curious and opened the envelope, it was two roundtrip vouchers for  Bahamas air Flight and two US 100 dollar bills. I was totally in shock and in awe and inside feeling little guilty because I so wanted to be upset because nothing began right for my Monday. So here I am contemplating whether or not if my attitude would have been different, if I would have been a recipient of this gift?

Perhaps, not!
Perhaps, if I had the wrong attitude, my friend and I would have probably been at each other's throat and I would have lost out on my blessing. And a blessing it was…

All I am trying to say is this, every now and then we have to will ourselves to being positive when we can go way into the negative. Every now and then we have to check our attitudes and make sure that we always place our best foot forward. Maybe we can be intentional in keeping a smile on our faces, cause we may never know what blessings await us…

ATTITUDE CHECK…SMILE!!!

Unspoken Words...I Broke Down Today!!!

So how's this for a reel...real talk, real truth and real emotions... I Broke Down Today!!! Some would say, I had a meltdown while others would say I lost total control of my emotions. I would have been deemed emotional and yet I was unashamed... I baled, I balled, I cried out in desperation because of hurt, pain, mishandling and misinformation. You see days before I was walking tall, proud that I was keeping it all together. For what though, for a world that is growing colder and callous every day. Now has me wondering, do people truly care about people. The world today is not the world that I dreamt about...a world of peace, love, unity, equality, equity and family togetherness...just the sound of it seems farfetched now. But yet I still have a dream... that one day tings gonna get better...like the good Bishop says. I broke down today because family is not the same anymore, so much  division, so much strife, no unity and I am asking where is the love that once was had. I broke d...

Latest Release Broken Wings: From Hurt to Hope It' s already December 2016 and I made it to the last month of the year and it feels darn good!  Upon being grateful that I made it to this point in the year, I also have some wonderful news to share with you. I recently published my first book which so happens to be connected to my blog. You see, I started writing during a period of my life, where I was overcome with darkness, as I was going through a period of heartbreak and depression. This blog was therapeutic for me, it helped me write through my pain and thus one day, I sat still long enough to pen words that eventually became my first book, "Broken Wings: From Hurt to Hope.  My book chronicles my experience where I battled depression and tells my very own personal story of how I navigated through one of the most painful times in my life. It is as about as real as you can get. I hope that my book, just as I hope my blog is an encouragement to someone that needs to ...

Quarantine Chronicles-The Struggle is Real!

This is my confession....I am tired of being locked away...it has been about  a month and counting (I definitely lost count). At first, I breezed through the first few weeks like a champ. However, lately, I am fatigued, physically and mentally tired and longing for social connections, nature connections and a sense of my life...where I have a freedom to roam and do what I please within the confines of the law. . I am just overwhelmed at this moment, I am not depressed or sad but just  feeling  withdrawn and impatient. Being single and living alone....I do enjoy the quiet moments, the solitude and peace with not having to be bombarded with common family foot traffic in a multiple family living space. I love my space but I crave connection more than ever So, this week it is hitting me hard and I am drained. I have also been keeping busy working from home and  developing content for my job.  I am also working as a technical assistant and producer for my c...
