I don't need your permission to be great!
Greetings, Good Monday Morning! I hope that you had a wonderful weekend, and that you're off to an amazing start! I certainly did, and I'm fired up to grind it out for more opportunities to come. Today, I have a brief message about your greatness. God is so good! I originally began writing this blog post on November 17, 2019, but I "put it down" because, I didn't feel it was ready for me to post. When I initially began writing it, I felt it was missing the depth of impact f

Accept the challenge and rebuke your comfort zone!
Greetings and Good Monday Morning to you!☀️🍂🍁 I hope that you've had an outstanding weekend! This is my favorite time of year! So, I spent the entire weekend getting my home "holiday ready", so that meant cleaning and organizing my house from top to bottom. I must say, it was a very productive weekend! As I finished last week, several thoughts came to mind about people being unwilling to get out of their comfort zones. To a certain extent, comfort zones are ok, but when the

Building self-confidence to become a stronger writer
Greetings, Good Morning! Happy Monday! I hope all is well and that you're off to having an amazing day.

So, naturally it was important for me to carry this self-confidence into my writing. In this blog post, I wanted to briefly share some my suggestions for becoming more self-confident in o

Start thinking like an "inspired leader"
Greetings, Good Monday Morning, I hope that you had an amazing weekend!😃 I certainly did. It was very quiet and productive. So, this weekend, I was contemplating #MondayMotivation topics to discuss in the coming weeks, and wrote down some ideas. Suddenly, I remembered a TED Talk, that I watched about 3 years ago, and I decided to watch it again to refresh my memory, and as soon as, I finished it I was inspired all over again. This morning, I want to discuss "inspirational le

"If I woke up, I'm not done!"
Greetings, Good Afternoon Everyone! We're about halfway through this week, it's hump day Wednesday, and I wanted to drop in and just reflect on my past week. This time last week, I was literally on the road and driving across country with my best friend. We were about to arrive in San Antonio, Texas finishing up on the "first leg" of our road trip. As I reflect, I think it's important that we experience everything that life has to offer. "If I woke up, I'm not done!" (Kelly R

"The golden rule"...is it dead?
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Greetings, Good Monday Morning All, I hope that your day is off to an awesome start! This morning I'm feeling great. I'm coming off of a pretty full weekend of work and celebrating my husband's 38th birthday. Happy Birthday, babe! It was also another scorcher of a weekend. Today, I wanted to briefly talk about, "The Golden Rule", an idea of the way we conduct ourselves, is something that I feel is lost in today's world. The

The Aftermath: #Mondaymotivation I'm fired up!
Greetings, Good Afternoon Everyone, I hope all is well and that you've had a wonderful weekend! I'm so fired up for my purpose today! It was hot, and this July heat was so disrespectful this weekend, LOL! If I weren't wearing braids my hair would be a disaster! I couldn't even leave the house on Sunday because, I didn't want to be assaulted by this inferno of hot weather, LOL! I was so excited to write this post today because, I'm literally still beaming from the energy I rec

MAI's Writing Corner: "Excuse me, what's my inspiration?"
Greetings and Good Afternoon Everyone, Today, I would like to talk about where I gain inspiration as a writer. We all can gain inspiration from anything and anywhere in life, if we are open to it. Many times when I'm writing for my books, I'm inspired by the music I listen to. I love to listen to "Big Band" and "traditional jazz", or R&B from the 1980's, 1990's, and earlier. I usually get a vibe that makes me want to dive right into writing. When I begin writing, I will turn

In life you have to,"just leap!"
Greetings and Good Monday Morning! This morning, I will not take too much of your time. I wanted to share with you my experience from this weekend and a comment that "hit home" for me. On Sunday, March 24, 2019, I attended a fabulous "Drag Makeup Masterclass" at The Academy of Makeup in Cockeysville, MD, where I was able to witness a live demonstration of how to create the makeup application that is used by female impersonators; as taught by Celebrity Makeup Artist, Frederick

3 Forces That Can Negatively Affect Your Inner Loyalty!
Greetings and Good Monday Morning! I hope that you're off to a great start! Feeling motivated and inspired to take on the day. This morning, I won't take up too much of your time, but I wanted to "chit chat" about a concept that I think, as individuals overlook often in our lives. Now, you may be wondering to yourself, "What the heck is she talking about? We discuss everything?", and it's true we discuss a lot of things but we don't discuss this enough. Right now, you're also

Power within a People: Resiliency and Optimism
Greetings and Good Monday Morning All!😃☀️ I hope that all is well and that you all had a fantastic weekend! This weekend was pretty low-key for me. I stayed in. It was a pretty yucky weekend here in Maryland, and it was felt much better to stay in the house; relax, straighten up and clean my home. So that's what I did. I also watched a lot of PBS Documentaries. One in particular that I would like to encourage you to watch is, The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross with
