I told a couple people that I was fasting and their responses were, “I need to fast so I can lose weight” and “You look fine.” All I have to say to both of these people: Fasting is NOT a diet plan! Yes, you do lose weight when you fast but the purpose is to [...]

I thank God for people in my life who support me in my endeavors.  Sometimes it’s just a matter of listening to me rant and rave about a whole lot of things they don’t understand, but they encourage me anyway. As I near financial independence with The Write Design Company, I get overly excited.  I [...]

People mistake tears for weakness.  Sometimes you have to have a big, hearty cry for emotional and spiritual cleansing.  It’s OK to breakdown, have a fit and release all your frustrations as long as the pity party ends.  And when it’s over, you will  either be heavy or walking on air because the weight has [...]

If someone gives you compliment but adds a sarcastic negative remark, is it still a compliment? I was told that I would reach my goal – it may take awhile – but I’ll get there.  Was that extra stuff really necessary? Anyway, this person called himself being positive and encouraging, but there was always a [...]

I hate when people argue with me about things I know that are absolutely true. I hate when people tell me things about me even though they have not a clue about me or what I do. I hate the parking meters in Chicago. I hate the low status of black people in America even [...]

So much has been going on. I am going to start blogging live from events starting this month.  While I don’t know what will happen at the Internet Retailers Conference next week – and I’m not really concerned – I have to get started. This is the only way I can prove that my service [...]

Something happened recently, and I could not upset.  I could only comply with what happened because I was disobedient and I knew it.  You can’t argue with God when you know you’re wrong.  He’s been trying to get my attention, and I’ve been doing what I wanted to do.  When He got fed up, He [...]

I hear a lot of people complaining about things amongst their peers.  This is OK, if it’s just an observation, and you move on.  However, if there is something festering, and you feel something more needs to be done, do it! Generally speaking, the issue you’re discussing is the one you’re most passionate about. It [...]

I am so close to my goals. I just know it.  The Write Design Company is going to take off really soon.  Shorty: Your Chicago South Side Resource is a close second. I just need a little marketing assistance to get me there.  I’m actually getting it, but until it comes to fruition, I just have [...]

I’m trying to be a nice person.  I’m trying to be the bigger person.  But, my neighbors to the north are fucking pissing me off.  First of all, it is two years later and we are still in court for the tree that was destroying my property. Now, I  come home tonight and my basement [...]
