Chilling with the Kids

It's nice to chill at home with the kids. We did some baking yesterday, some gardening today. It will be errands tomorrow. Of course we'll play games, do work and watch TV too. It's nice to take a break from work even when the break is with the children. They can be demanding and sometimes don't listen, but they do make you laugh.

I love it when they occupy themselves and let me write in peace. I guess that's why I am so good at multitasking - I cook, write and still be a momma at the same time. There're nothing special about me doing that because most mothers do the same thing!

Enjoy your day today!

POEM: My Changes

I miss my youth
the glory days
when I thought I was a champion
and that nothing could stop me
I had vigor
I had charm
I had smart speech
and I was hardly alarmed
I had head to toe style
I was flawless
but with all of that
I was missing one time
I was missing God in my life
I was living in strife
fighting hardship
but when I got closer to Jesus
I saw that outward appearance
was only superficial
just a surface treatment
God is the one
who is in control
so now I am better
and I am living wiser
in balance
and no longer in transit
Thank God
for his mercies!

Get Up and Do Something for Yourself - Online or Otherwise

The internet offers a great opportunity for research, games and to make money legally. I'm not talking about pyramid schemes but decent opportunities. Even if it's updating a website, blogging or other writing, there are viable ways to earn a little income on the web.

I don't want to ever get rich but to be comfortable and enjoy the simple things of life. I have been to Guyana, Jamaica, St. Martin and New York because of various opportunities that I have been able to get.

I encourage everyone to seek opportunites not only online but in whatever ways they can. Look for legitimate competitions, scholarships or training opportunities to see where life can take you. Don't ever sit back and wait for anyone to ever give you anything - you have to get up, take helm and do for your self.

Businesses Must Have Good Customer Service

Customer service is a problem in both the public and private sector. I have always made an outcry about this and I think that time is coming again. People expect a certain level of respect and service when they enter into an establishment.

However, as I start to look at things a little deeper, I realize that it goes further than just customer service. The problem partially is the processes and the rules that people have to work by. Some of the rules are redundant, outdated or just plain out don't make sense. In other cases, the employees are frustrated by the poor systems and take it out on the customers.

We have to seriously start looking at the way we do things and making the processes work efficiently. Customers don't care why things don't work - they care about getting their business taken care of. Until businesses understand this, they won't move forward. Competition is tight and being sentimental has gone out of style.

It's time to wake because customers have a choice today. There are hardly any monopolies left.

POEM: Yes it is me

Yes it is me
I'm not tall like a tree
or busy like a bee
but I am someone
that you can see
so why ignore
me?
am I not smart like a pin
or smooth like
baby's skin
yes i am
and I don't spread spam
but I consider
myself a champion
a top notch
soldier
who claims
the arms of my savior
yes it is me
short
little
small
but I won't tell
it all
just know that I am here
and not
going
anywhere

Short Thoughts for March 24, 2012

It's never wise to suck up to others. Be yourself. Love yourself. You can't gain respect unless you respect youself first.

Sometimes you have to block your ears to thw world. Just pray and just live. Time is too short to play around with worrying about what people think.

Be yourself. Love yourself.
