Looks Like Love!

Death. It is the only certainty  Went to a colleagues father's funeral today and it was hard. Hard because my mother passed away on October 31st. Hard because she was buried on November 14th. Hard because funerals make you realize your own fragility.  Make you realize that soon it will be you in that box, loved ones crying, haters peeping in yuh casket whispering and gossiping, People singing sad songs.  Yeah death is hard. It makes you think ahead, studying things like life insurance, so you don't leave debts behind, instead you leave a nest egg that hopefully if you raised the children right, they can sow good seeds that land in the beds and take root and bud into generational wealth. But I think, the real reason death is hard is because we haven't planned for it. We go about our merry comfortable way, working the job, slaving in the salt mines, consuming motivational content instead of doing the hard work Because hard work is ...

I have a problem. I can't say No.  I find it hard to say No to something specifically, something that even though I despise it to my core, I end up saying "Yes" or "Ok" to it and end up feeling deflated when it doesn't pan out. Everyone has something like this, a vice that you tried to ignore.  Vices (everyone has them) The yummy soft Kiss Cake that'll make you fat, eventually. After about twenty. But who's counting.  That Internet site with super addictive games, that chocolate bar.. the list goes on. Things like these are self sabotaging.

WOW and here you were thinking it was something serious like solving world hunger or eliminating poverty. (shut up Ghandi) Wrought Iron is my nemesis. Requests pop out of no w...

It's been a while since either of us blogged, as it has been an interesting few weeks for us (future post!) However, some things have been developing in the world have me kerfluffle. 1) Today. the Boy Scouts of America (key word BOY) made a board level decision to allow girls to enter the ranks all the way up to Eagle scout. Huh??  Even the Girl Scouts Association is against it. Hmm Spineless decision 2)  Instead of companies pushing out random pictures of models enjoying/using/tasting your products on social media, why not provide excellent customer service and handle complaints in a caring empathic way. After all  Good/ Bad/ neutral Customer service is free marketing. Which one would your company prefer? 3) I believe we are in an era where this is the norm. Men need respect, women need love. Men feel disrespected by women, verbal, emotional and physical abuse are some of the outcomes. Women feel unloved which leads to the same outcomes. Understanding the cycl...
