Momma's Monday: Joe

Joe

Welcome and welcome back. It's another amazing day in paradise . Thank you for being here. This is Joe. He's coming out of the woods with the dolly he stored there.

I originally introduced myself to him because it had originally been locked up on the corner of the pavilion with some of his other belongings. This is not normal activity for someone who's homeless so I introduced myself.

That was about 3 weeks ago. His story is heartbreaking. He had to hide the dolly in the woods, along with what's left of what he had. A lot was taken. I took it with me to put in my car.

As I've mentioned in the past, Wisdom and I panhandle. Tonight we're panhandling for Joe. He had a visit from ACORNS today and there's nothing they can do right now.

Nothing is immediate except cash in the hand so tonight is for Joe. If you're in a position to help please contribute here: https://hihello.me/p/1c3b227d-a132-4566-b9c6-26fad39a96c7. Please put "Joe" in the notes.

Thanks in advance. Continued success . The best is yet to come . Enjoy the amazing day you're creating . ...

Let's Talk Tuesday: Quantifiable Wins

Quantifiable Wins Welcome and welcome back. It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you so much for being here whether it is your first time or you're returning. Thank you for your support. This post is inspired by Jimmy Davies of Every.Black . Every few months, because of the influx of new people attending their meetings, he would showcase his story, "A 30 Year Overnight Success". I feel it's time I do something similar.  The title "Quantifiable Wins" I need to attribute to a business consultant named Tiffany. I attended one of her workshops and although I found most of her content and the manner of her delivery not to my tastes, the phrase "quantifiable wins" has stuck. I have many to name and I'm pleased with each and every one of them.    Since I'm meeting people in different areas that don't connect to one another, with each environment I'm introduced to, it's like starting from scratch to get recognized. Instead of...

Wisdom Wednesday: Someone Called CPS On Me

Someone Called CPS On Me Welcome and welcome back. It’s another amazing day in paradise 🤩. Thank you so much for being here. This is not what I planned for my next blog post. In fact, yesterday I started writing one called “Raleigh First Black Female Mayor”. Because that's what I plan to accomplish this year. You will not find my name listed because I'll be running as a write-in candidate. My treasurer is taking the course now but since I haven't spent any money I don't have to file for my finance committee. There's also this fact that I don't want to run on what I'd like to do. My goal is to run and win based on what I have done and people desiring to see change on the municipal level to support those changes. I'll leave that there for now to address the imagine.  Yes, it’s true. Yesterday afternoon (Tuesday, 8/6/2024) I got a call from a friend who works at Wegmans, where I recently admitted on one of my blog posts that me and my son were panhandling ...

Let's Talk Tuesday: I'm Pissed!

I'm Pissed! Welcome and welcome back. It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you for being here. Yes, I am pissed!  Over the past couple of weeks I was attempting to do a 13 day social media challenge that would have ended on Sunday, July 28. It ended at day 10 because I was being inundated by so many things that I was getting pissed about. I wasn't ready to be vulnerable and share. My reality is s$*t hasn't stopped (😲 I know right!). So I'm naming it and claiming it so I can move forward. I'm admitting it to be transparent.  Please don't get it twisted. Me being pissed doesn't take away from it being another amazing day in paradise. The fact is, me being pissed adds to my day being amazing. I'm grateful I'm pissed. Wanna know why?  Too often we demonize emotions. But the reality is all emotions are messengers. The actions you take with the message, that's generally where challenges arise. The emotions themselves are there to show we ar...
