Shaking My Head - not a Harlem Shake though

Sometimes, I feel like I missed a day. Did I do anything productive that day? Or was I just loafing around? I guess that's why I love my blog because at least I know that every two days, I can post something constructive. Even a venting post can be constructive. Today was an ok day but with some silly frustration. There are days like that and I just have to shake my head - not Harlem Shake it but just shake it a little.

People really have to use common sense and live up to their responsibilities, especially when placed in a position of trust and influence. Mediocre just is not cutting it. The sad thing is that many are not even striving for mediocre - they're just there.

However, I aim to do my best - not aim to please. I do what I have to do and I do it well and seriously. I prefer to be around people like that too. However, we are always stuck with the few who don't care.

Be someone who cares and who wants to do more than mediocre. Come on! Do what you know is right!

Take a Moment Today

Today started off a little cloudy with some drizzle falling as well. However, it's a bright and sunny day now. We have to truly thank God for his blessing. It could have been flooding by now but God sent the sunlight to shine upon us. It's nice to take a walk when the weather is like this in the BVI. The views are even brighter and clearer and your body gets that vital Vitamin D that it needs.

Today, take a moment and look at your surroundings. Look at the beautiful flowers and little animals around. Everything has its purpose on this earth and it's all wonderfully made by God.

Enjoy!

POEM: My Blog

Sometimes in this web log
I'll blog
about all kinds of things
my kin, my wins, my sins
or my time just sitting
I talk about what's real
and of course how I feel
so you don't have to guess
or think it's a test
it's there clear and plain
not in a game
and not for fame
just blogged

Simple Tips for Better Financial Management

Some days are tougher than others. This 2013 has begun with its share of challenges; nevertheless I will continue to push forward. This post is to give tips for managing money.

My tips are simply:
1. Pay your bills on time because late fees are like throwing money in the garbage
2. Save little by little because it serves you better to save $10 per month and not touch it than save $100 and withdraw it after two days
3. Please prioritize your needs and wants. I re-posted a photo onn my Facebook that had a simple caption "You have an iPhone 5 and your kids have no food?" Please don't let that be you
4. Cut unneccessary costs. Do you really need to have the top cable package when you are hardly at home?

You may say that the tips are no-brainers. However, then why are so many people in heavy debt today?

Do what you know is right and spend wisely!

POEM: I Want to be the Change

I want to be the change
I want to be effective
not just selective
but an agent of change
I'm not deranged
or strange
but want to be an advocate
for those with no voice
I want to be the one
that is able to cause little ripples
that turn into big waves
because we see all that is wrong
but noone wants to make correction
so it's time for a change injection
and someone's gotta make the decision
it is no longer acceptable to just sit there
like you're not aware or just don't care
I want to be an agent of change
and get us properly re-arranged
so that we can function
and work together in unison
let's go cause we can make it happen
so don't walk with your spirits dampened
change is in you and it's in me
just be the best you that you can be
and together we can make it happen
