Speak life into someone, even yourself

The other day, I conducted a free mediation.  The other day, I conducted a free coaching.

We have to remember that sometimes, we have to speak life into someone.

Sometimes,  we have to encourage someone to look in a mirror and say : " I am amazing. "

Words are powerful and we have to share that power.

Stay still

Opportunity comes when it is time.
Yet we have to be ready for the opportunity, when it comes.

Love letter to my Daddy, Ray C. Williams

My best dad memory was finally getting and understanding the sacrifice my dad made for his family. 

When my brother got accepted to Hampton Institute,  my father moved his entire family from Korea to Hampton.  He sacrificed a booming career to ensure his son, had his family.

Wherever my father was stationed, he brought his family.  He was only away for maybe a year, he would figure it out. Family was everything to my Dad. He wasn't perfect, far from it.

He did the best he could with what he had.
He was a good man who loved his wife & his family and that was enough.

I love you Daddy and you done good.
You raised good men and a confident daughter and that was the greatest success of all.

Orlando

In the wee hours of Sunday morning, tragedy struck AGAIN. This time LGQBT community.  They were having fun, hurting no one, bothering no one...then a psychopath enters and kills 50 people.

Semi automatic. Former police/security guard...chose to kill instead of protect. This comes just after a young budding starlet was killed on Friday ,by a fan. .in Orlando by a psychopath in the city of Disney.

What are we doing, what are we doing?

Who I am, does not give you permission to bully or kill me. Who I am does not give you permission to denigrate me. Who I am
Is my Right,  respect it and respect Who I am.

 "I ain't got no quarrel with them Viet Cong ... They never called me nigger."[7][8]

Muhammad Ali has died. Whewwwww.  Another part of my childhood gone.
My father was a huge boxing fan. He watched Muhammed Ali whenever he could.
When, we got to Virginia,  the tv fights were family events. Daddy yelling, cussing, smoking, drinking and laughing.

Muhammad and Howard Cossell. Muhammad and Frazier.  Muhammed and Forman. His rhymes. His boldness. His unabashed blackness. He spoke out in a time and era when black men were killed for speaking out.

He threw away his gold medal.  He lost his title, because he refused to be drafted. He lost millions.  Yet, he stood his ground.

Muhammed Ali was more than a boxer,  he changed how black men were thought of, he changed how black men thought of themselves.  His impact to was immeasurable.  His legacy unmatched.  He was indeed the Greatest of All Time; simply cause a little black boy from Louisville,  Kentucky named Cassuis Clay said he was.
RIP to the GOAT.

May, new ideas, working through doubt

May was a rainy depressing month. A dear friend passed. NC  tried to close my beloved ECSU. I was doubting my self. I was following the money as opposed to the opportunity. 

I failed to keep up my blog and finish projects to completion.

I am blaming it on the rain.

It wasn't the rain, it was me. I need to continue to get out my own way. My role is to create opportunities not wait for them to come.

I must stop complaining and doubting myself.  I am a bad mofo and it's time, I act like it.!!
