Walk through Wynwood Walls

We recently visited Miami, Florida during our time there we visited the very colorful Wynwood Walls area! This area is located just a few minutes down the street from downtown Miami. We explored this area by foot and enjoyed the art that is painted all over the buildings in the area. My son and I stopped at so many different places and took photos and videos.

Here are a few spots we stop along the way to capture fun images. We initially was going to visit the Museum of graffiti. Instead we decided to just walk around the streets of the area and enjoy the art on the walls street signs and the ground.

I was able to get my son to pose in a photo with me! That’s always exciting.

As we were finishing up our walk we did come across The Art of Hip Hop Museum and so we decided to stop in and pay a visit. We will post another blog for that visit.

A Visit to The Book of Hov Exhibit

My Visit to The Book of Hov Exhibit

Earlier this summer I heard about the exhibit that was put together at The Brooklyn Library for Jay-z by his company Roc-Nation

At the time I was thinking how cool is that to put together a cool exhibit of all paraphernalia of the past / present. It wasn’t until I saw the interview with Faye King that I felt as though I would love the opportunity to check that out.

That thought put something in motion… I need to make time to be able to make this personal journey…. The 1st date was the 1st week in December until I found out the exhibit is closing Dec 4. So I was able to push my plan back about a week before which was perfect. Week after Thanksgiving and a week before the close of the exhibit I can make a trip in and out. As time moved on I created additional activities to make use of the one day that I would be in the city! All in all 1 day trip to NYC to check out an exhibit which was a fleeting though turned out to be one of the highlights of my year! Great trip Great exhibit! A wonderful solo adventure!

Selfie Images so I can show I was in the building :)

There were so many neat exhibits to take a look at photos, memorabilia, clothing, awards, writing pads

Catching up

Well September 2023 has arrived and we are already in the middle of the month. I really need to take time out and reflect on this past year up to this point. I mean I have not did my monthly recaps in just about any of the months of 2023. I enjoy doing the recaps to help me to remember how much stuff actually goes on throughout 30-31 days in a month. Also to be grateful of everything that month has brought to me.

Funny thing is when I do my monthly recaps I literally have to go through my mobile phone to look at what images and media was captured to reflect the activities.

So tonight I'm going to go back and make notes of all the months recaps I'm missing from 2023 and work on reflecting on the what has taken place so that I can catch up the blog with all this year past activities. Before we start at the beginning of the year I will start with August, since its the closest month to remember.

How about you do you recap your months and doing a monthly reflection of activities and how productive you may or may not have been? Comment below to let me know. If you have any tips for monthly reflections please share that information as well.

Stay tuned for all the recaps!

Street Corner Preaching - with Wall Street Trapper

Yesterday we decided to go to an on the corner classroom hosted by Wall street Trapper.

I initially saw his invitation to attend a couple days prior and wasn’t sure if I was going to go or not.

Well after having an afternoon free to move around I decided on driving to the other side of town to attend. I’m so glad that I did. Not only did I get some great financial lessons I was able to fellowship with some of the members of The Morning meetup (which is my Monday - Friday entrepreneur network that meets daily)

It turned out to be such a wonderful day! Once decision to go turned out to be such a great rest of the day!!!! I love a day like that!!!! Thank you more please!!

Being Everything for Everyone

Today we had the pleasure of being a vendor at Parent Academy that was held at Rockdale Career Academy located in Conyers, Georgia. We’ve participated in the past years, but this was the 1st in person event they have held since 2020.

We were a vendor and we did a pop up shop for our Novelties and Gift online store That Extra Piece. It is time to clear the way from our old inventory and work on what’s next for our gift shop.

It’s been awhile since we’ve done any vendor events and today was one of those days to remind you that You cannot be everything to everybody.

During our in person sales and all the conversations being help with those persons that approach the table. We had all the stuff out on the table that we are wanting to sell. As clients ask for various sizes, colors, shapes etc. for the different items we had displayed.

In the past, I use to try my best to have everything for everybody. Your wish was my command. I wanted the sale so bad I was willing to get them whatever it takes. Yes, I can have that color, Yes I will get that size, Yes I would do this Yes I would do that.

As I’ve matured in this commerce world I was reminded today that you cannot be everything to everybody. What is available is for those individuals that is interested in the items that you have here for sell. There is no need to go to far out the way to please each and everyone that shows a bit of interest in your products and services. If you are able to meet the demand of request by all means do so, but if not. Do what you are able to do and worry less about being everything to everyone.

That was my reminder lesson of the day.

Great remembrance of my journey

Make Moves Monday

It's Make Moves Monday and we have been on the move today. We were able to get my son off to school after a nice weekend and I was able to get my 30 minute walk in today.

Initially we came home made a list of things that we needed to get done in the business today and this week. One thing that I have not completed up until today was my manifestation list for this year. I still had my 2022 Manifestation list posted up in my office, today I completed the manifestation list for 2023 and look over last year list to see what happen what didn't happen and what is in progress. After reviewing everything we had quite a few items in progress.

Reviewing the list let me know to make sure that I'm being mindful of my manifestations. It felt like a breath of fresh air to make sure I completed the list and posted it up.

We were also able to create some content for up coming quirky holidays this month.

Saturday with my son

Today was one of those days where we got up and out the house today. My son and I was headed to a place to have some inside fun and entertainment once we arrived at the indoor trampoline park the parking lot was so full we knew this was not a good day to visit being that the place was crowded. We than was looking for something else to do with our day. It was a nice one temperature was 62 degrees . What we end up doing is going to 5 Below picking him up a new basketball (seeing that he lost he other one) stopping by a park on our way home. My son shot a few baskets until he was tired and we headed on home for the evening.

So much for our not too much adventure Saturday. It was nice to spend a little time with him even if things didn’t go as planned.

For my birthday last month a good friend of mine gifted me with a book. It came at a wonderful surprise. I was visiting her while out of town and we scheduled a meetup. As we were finishing up our meeting and it was time for me to head out she handed me a present. I’m like what is this and she goes on to tell me it was a birthday gift. I was so delighted to receive I opened it up and soon as I read the title it spoke very clear to me! You owe You! At the present moment I absolutely needed that message.

I was so happy to receive the gift! It came at such a perfect time.

Throwback Thursday- My 1st Subject

#tbt 2006 this is a photo of my 1st son. When I first started in photography he was my first subject to capture and well as my text subject. Oh boy what a job he had to do for me as I work to get my composition right and lighting. Those were the earlier days. As time went on he no longer wanted to pose for the camera for me. So today when I can get both of my sons to grab a photo with me I’ll take what I can get.

Make Moves Monday- Motivation

It’s Make Moves Monday and I see that 2023 is in full swing! This is the 2nd Monday in the new year. For us everything is going pretty smoothly. We are still working on organization in our daily activities. We are working to maximize our time that way at the end of the day we can feel productive as though we have accomplish somethings.

I don’t know about you , but I have a running to do list in my head that I fail to write down. I know I need to do it, but I just simple refuse to jot it down so that I can get it crossed off the list.

Today was a battle, I made myself write down those little task that need to be brought to completion. It is imperative to cross them off the list and write done by them. I’m always trying to rush on to what’s next with out fully completed the previous project. I’ll get all the way down to the finish line and than go real slow….

Well today we wrote it down and was making it happen.

I will give a little grace. Prior to sitting down and getting stuff done in office, we were outta office earlier this morning to drop my son off at school and than off to run errands. The main errand was to get a new sticker for my car. My birthday is coming up and I almost forgot that its that time of year to renew your tags…

Flashback to the 1st Saturday 2023!

It’s already been 7 days in the new year. Flashback to last Saturday as I was preparing to meet members of my family on Zoom so that we could bring in the New Year together. The funny part is… As I dressed up from the top half I had big plans to have such a great online party and things went all the way south.

#1 Folks were having a hard time jumping on to connect on the Zoom Call calling me on the phone to get a password based on the link that I provided their was no need for the link. The process did not start smooth than after I decided to go into our family room on Facebook and create a room, here lies the problem I had people able to get in on Zoom and a few others were in the room on Facebook and everybody was talking to me while I was trying to figure it all out in which it was not coming together at all for me.

#2 You got 1 minute left that was message I was receiving from Zoom, I had decided (not before hand) to order premium during the call with the family, well that didn’t work out at all I was having a hard time trying to login to get to a place where I can upgrade from the 40 minutes free and because of ALL the technical difficulties I burned up the free time and wasn’t able to upgrade so it cut off the few people that logged on off.

#3 Back to Facebook I started another live room and was trying desperately to reach out to members to have them just click the link in our private room and log on…. geez it took a minute but those members who could figure it out did so.

We finally were able to get online and start chatting it up. I was so embarrassed and exhausted from all the technical hassle.

One things for sure we were able to be together and bring the new year in despite all the technical challenges!!!

Cheers once again to a productive year ahead!

Peace & Blessings in the New Year!

For years we would be preparing to have family and friends over for a themed out party, but as this young man became older he settles for a nice dinner out with the family.

Tonight we went to one of his favorite restaurants and have a nice dinner to celebrate his special day.

Happy Birthday Cameron! May you be blessed with many more.

Make Moves Monday!

It’s Make Moves Monday and we’ve have been on the move. Today was a day when we had to put things back in place from the busy weekend that occurred. 1st things first we returned our camera equipment back to the rental company. We then went on to run a few personal errands to pick up some much needed items for the home. My sister and I enjoyed a great lunch at The Cheese Cake Factory and we finally traveled back home to the other side of town. We had an unexpected pleasant day. Sometimes when you say yes, the unexpected happens and in some cases it can turn a regular day in to an extraordinary day!
