Reflection

As I sit here drinking my coffee with no where to go and lots to do. I reflect. I reflect on triumphs and tragedies. Mistake and mishaps. Goals reached and goals missed. Goals made and micro movements celebrated.

I am a business woman. I am a brand. I am driven and tenacious. I can be lazy and forgetful. I am Vickie R Williams Cullins, Executive director of OPN-Door Communications LLC. I amazing.
I own that. I am that. I will continue to be that!!

At least once a week, take a moment and be quiet. No sound. Reflect on the week. Review issues. Just think. With tea or coffee or juice or water. Inside or out. Just the quietness. .the stillness. .helps purge and reopens your mind to the fact you are amazing. .gorgeous. .needed..important. .viable...
You...are...all...that.

Eruption

The last week, I was in turmoil due to my choices and others reactions. I have a fixation issue. I fixate on missteps until I make myself sick. I try so hard and and I take it personal. Then I steal myself up to erupt. However, my issue is in no way that serious. It can be fixed with honesty and openness. If money  is owed it will be paid. I poised myself for eruption and did not have to.

Now, Baltimore is in turmoil as was Ferguson. This turmoil, this pain, this eruption is serious. People are hurt. Again, police and death are at the core; however joblessness, hopelessness, racism are the sores that have become infected and the pus of pain has come gushing out.

Pointing fingers won't help. We got to be calm and offer solutions. We are all one incident away from kaos; what are you going to do? How will you help? Are you part of the problem? Are you part of the solution?

Leadership & misteps

Planning. Flexibility. Leadership.
Misteps. Mishaps. Leadership.
Leaders are like willows. They move and bend. They are resilient.
They cannot please everyone  and they should not try.

The Rock, The Strong One

Are you the strong one? You know the one everyone comes to for everything.  Yep, me too.

I am thankful for my strength, but I get weary. I say I can do something  and folks draw  on this. I am learning that I cannot take everyone's stuff  on. I get it. I do.

I am learning the strong one needs a hand to hold, too

Greatness is not a cuss word.

Greatness is not a cuss  word. Being great is not bad, but we seem to think so. We hold back. Especially,  women  ( me included).
A special  young  women told  me that I was great. I perked  up. I was amazed at my vision, my dream, my abilities. Shit, I was great.

Today look in the mirror  and Say, I am____insert Name here____Great!!

Keep the Faith

After the tragedy  of yesterday,  I  was blessed  to receive  good news. One of my  sisters received great news about  her health. I received  confirmation of yet another  parenting  participant. I learned that I can foia a completed proposal  and I  will learn from someone I  knew. I received  guidance  from a mentor. I am being  considered  for another  opportunity. A part time hustle is on the horizon. Small projects  are building. I have a team that I am working  with. I am building  a brand. I am becoming  focused. I am keeping  the faith.
