I’m slowly learning a valuable – though annoying – lesson. If you’ve been following me long, then you have gotten some insight into how i think, process and formulate plans and ideas. I’m linear. Literally, any points popping up between A and B and i’m thrown off course. I’ve gotten better at rerouting for the unexpected, but damn… It really throws me for a loop! I’ve got to consciously choose to think outside of MY brain. Take Sunday, par example. I had a handful of things o

i can’t. i cannot. i cannot with this today. The things that happen in my life and that of those around me never cease to amaze me from one day to the next. Is this blog going to be about cake? Nope. Not at all. Ok, maybe i’ll touch on it, but really, nah. It’s just about being constantly mindblown. Come, ride with me… As some of you may know, I’ve changed residences twice in two months. Like full on moves. Twice. The first one was planned, the second not so much (but a huge

Dragonfly out in the sun, you know what I mean, don’t you know Butterflies all havin’ fun, you know what I mean Sleep in peace when the day is done, that’s what I mean And this old world is a new world And a bold world For me… And I’m feeling good! Why am i singing this morning? What brought on this bonheur? What is this renewing in my spirit? Is the sun shining brighter today? What brilliant color blue is the sky today? What’s put this smile on my face that’s troubling the s

I’m not one to share a whole lot of personal information, so i’ll paraphrase my current situations with a WTF… For my life to be completely upside down right now would be an improvement over the whirlpool spinning that it currently is doing. I can’t see straight, y’all. I could be curled up in a ball on my couch twitching and crying, but i’m not. It wouldn’t be a far stretch, but i can’t afford the breakdown. I could be angry, cussing and fussing at everyone just to release t

So i was going back over some of my earlier blogs and had to laugh at this one. It was fascinating/overwhelming me that new flavors and combinations wouldn’t leave me alone. I could tell i was trying to fight them, but decided to compromise, in bits and pieces. HA! I’m all in now, baby!! My imagination isn’t just a greedy mistress, she’s a harem now! People regularly ask me what flavors i offer. Well, pull up a chair America, cuz the list is infinite.  Yes, i still have my ba

Blessings tend to find me. Even when I’m not looking, thinking or anticipating any. Trust, i am not mad at that at all! Do i deserve God’s favor? Do any of us? Not really. But that’s what’s so awesome about Him. He provides for us when we have done nothing to earn it. Hallelujah! So it is my duty, and my honor, to pass these blessings along. I’m philanthroping y’all!!

When you think “con game”, you think of being swindled, stolen from, hoodwinked. But that’s not the whole story. While the original “Confidence Man” (con man) was set on deception, you have to admire the root of it (just hear me out…). The whole scheme behind “a con” is to gain your mark’s confidence by exuding confidence in what you want them to buy into. Your confidence earns their confidence. The Con.
