A-Z of Happiness

A must read! Short phrases with great depth! Love it!

KT

inspired4business's avatarinspired4business

Happiness

A–Accept *
Accept others for who they are and for the choices they’ve made even if you have difficulty understanding their beliefs, motives, or actions.

B–Break Away *
Break away from everything that stands in the way of what you hope to accomplish with your life.

C–Create *
Create a family of friends whom you can share your hopes, dreams, sorrows, and happiness with.

D–Decide *
Decide that you’ll be successful and happy come what may, and good things will find you. The roadblocks are only minor obstacles along the way.

E–Explore *
Explore and experiment. The world has much to offer, and you have much to give. And every time you try something new, you’ll learn more about yourself.

F–Forgive *
Forgive and forget. Grudges only weigh you down and inspire unhappiness and grief. Soar above it, and remember that everyone makes mistakes.

G–Grow *
Leave the childhood monsters…

NOOICE!

This post is for my favorite Cocoa Drop, KT.

We are silly as all get out and started using this word a lot as of late to signify when we have spoiled something for the other person like when I accidentally told her that Chekura died on Book of Negroes before she saw it….NOOICE! She accidentally told me that Stephen was back on Scandal before I saw it yesterday…..NOOICE!

Other ways that YOU can use this word are below…

1. Someone gets in front of you and starts driving slow as hell…..NOOICE!
2. You come home with food but everybody already ate…..NOOICE!
3. You get your hair done up and it rains…..NOOICE!
4. You get your car waxed and shined up and it rains…..NOOICE!
5. The movie you’ve been dying to see is sold out……NOOICE!
6. You have a fresh pedicure but your baby steps on your big toe and messes it up……NOOICE!

This is the way we’ve been using the word but share with us your way. NOOICE!

Target Teen Gets The Job

Target Teen Gets The Job

I love a feel good story where people come together to help each other and just be nice to one another.

Well, that’s what happened to a young kid at Target last week or the week before.  He is a fifteen year old kid with an interview for his first job.  He went to Target to find a clip-on tie but they only carry regular ties.  One of the male sales associates, with 2 other associates, got the tie and helped him tie it.  All the while a customer, taken aback at their kindness, was videotaping the event.  Her video went viral and it was even picked up on the local and then national news.

It’s a grainy video (pic below) but you get the jist of what’s going on once you read the article.  If you just see the video you may not what’s going on.  LOL

All 3 sales associates talked to the teen and gave him advice on what he should do and helped him practice his handshake even.

After I saw the expose I wanted to know if he got the job and he did!  He interviewed with Chick-fil-a in a mall and they actually debuted him getting the job on tv due to all the buzz around him in Target that day.

I instantly started smiling from ear to ear and then let out my usual, Awwwwww because this is awesome.  Humans helping each regardless of race or age.  Kids these days don’t listen to us older people for real but he did.

Congrats Yasir Moore on your new job, we wish you the best in your future!

Love Me Some Leah Still

Love Me Some Leah Still

I love Leah Still and her dad Devon Still.  I found out about Devon’s story during football season when he was put back on the practice squad for the Cincinnati Bengals to help him pay for her medical expenses.

See Leah has stage 4 cancer (neuroblastoma) and she is only 4 years old!  It breaks my heart but when I see her cuterful little face I cannot help but to be happy.  I’ve been praying for her swift recovery ever since I found out about her.

Nike invited her to walk in their fashion show and she did her thing! She got to go to the Today Show also.  Devon says that Leah started a new treatment last week for her cancer and it went well.  I pray that it eliminates the cancer completely!

Keep Leah and Devon in your thoughts and prayers!

Things You Don’t Say To Your Partner

Things You Don’t Say To Your Partner

I’m a serial monogamist and I’m always looking for things I can do better in my relationships.

This article made me realize I have a lot more work to do with my words.  I started off holding everything in and then 8 years ago I ran into a partner that made me open my mouth in defense and I haven’t stopped talking since.

I think all of us have said one of the following…

You always….

Whatever

It’s not my fault

I’m sorry but…

Calm down

According to Rachel Grumman Berman, these are some of the 7 things you should not say in a relationship.

She says with these words you put your partner in defense mode automatically.  I understand that.  When I say whatever, it makes people so mad (hee hee) because I have checked out at this point.

Communication is soooo important and maybe this can help you in your relationship along with me in mine.  If you care that is!  Ahhhhh, I was deep just then.  LO

PETA And North West

PETA And North West

I knew as soon as I saw North’s cuterful little self in this coat that PETA was gonna throw a fit.

I’d like to see them try and throw paint on that baby’s coat like they do sometimes.  Kanye would go ape s**t on the person crazy enough to basically assault a child.

Anywho, I’m jealous.  I wish when I was her age, I had anything close to that kind of coat.  Not that in Alabama it ever gets that cold but North is the coolest kid everrrrrr!

I mean, she was sitting front row next to fashion royalty at her daddy’s show for Adidas x.  It’s an amazing life she has with not 1 but 2 famous parents.

I wonder how long it takes them all to get ready to go somewhere.  LOL
