September On My Mind



 September On My Mind



 

Scribbling cramped in is not going to do it

Elevate to bursting out of the wall’s rudiment

Pause and appreciate all that has happened already

Then trumpet slap and let your wings be free

Enter into the new month like a warrior slaying

Make the moves you need to make to win

Bet on yourself and invest all the energy you have to give

Excellence is the aim and the hope is to swim

Ready for September now and it’s time to jump in

 

Let’s start September with “Soul Aerobics.”



Storming the Page: Soul Aerobics is a book by Stephanie Jeannot.  The pages of it are filled with a plethora of different prompts the author added for writers looking for added help to get those words flowing onto the page.

Back To School

Image
It is the unofficial last weekend of summer. Are you ready for what is ahead? Here are some things to think about as you walk through the gates of the first day of school. The morning stretches open before you like it has not in the endless array of summer moments. But don’t get overwhelmed by the idea. Choke back the tears and step out of the shadows. It is the first day of school; time to man up. Either it will be the alarm sounding off or the school bus beeping its horn outside that will give you the stark realization that the summer is over; back to the hustle and bustle of learning. Make sure to walk past the sun dappled gardens on your way to school with your head held up high and be sure to have your gear draped over your body neatly so that you can emit self-confidence and proudly embrace the circumference of the other students and the teacher that will be yours for the next nine months. Don’t skirt around the fact that this is the first day of school. It might be just ...

What is a Breakthrough?

  What is a Breakthrough? Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary defines a breakthrough as "an act or instance of moving through or beyond an obstacle." I think that we all go through obstacles that we need victory over.   And sometimes, we do not know how to find success over our problems and try to deal with it on our own without trying for a good solution. I remember going to a church service one Sunday morning and listening to a preacher talking about the many things that we go through and face, and then heard him talking about getting ready for victory over them and inviting God into our storms to receive our breakthrough. I had yet to hear words that spoke so personally to me until that very moment.  The idea for the song “Breakthrough” came directly from that message.  How many other people might be going through something that they need an encouraging word such as the one that I heard that might help them to get through it with success? How many times have we sha...

Is Brooklyn in the House?

Image
Brooklyn  I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY and I can’t say that there was not a moment that I did not love it. I have seen so many good sides of it, not to mention the bad sides of it but overall, I love it. I've been to many places along my travels and have come to find that no matter where I go, I can find someone who either once lived in Brooklyn or has a cousin or friend who lives somewhere in Flatbush. Oh The Things You Will See Manhattan may be one of the most popular tourist destinations in New York City, but Brooklyn has a variety of different things worth seeing too like the Botanical Gardens, Coney Island, Dumbo Park, Brighton Beach, Canarsie Piers, the Medgar Evers Jazzy Jazz Festival, the West Indian Day Parade, Basquiat’s Bottle, Essence Bar & Grill, Brooklyn Tabernacle Church, Kings Theatre, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Christopher Wallace Basket Ball Courts, Prospect Park, the annual tribute to the ancestors of the Middle Passage, the wall of jus...
