Summer Doldrums

Warm-weather months are a fun and busy time. It's time to cleanup the barbie, plant your flowers, and maybe take a trip to the beach. The cold weather is gone and the lazy, hazy days of summer are upon us. It just seems that so many things have been added to our plate, we have little time for anything else. But wait! Does that include the business you have worked so hard on during the winter? Unfortunately for some it does.

He endeavours to leave behind legacies of the application of his mind." -Rasheed A. GbadamosiI turned 40 few months ago, and if statistics are right and I die on or around my 80th birthday, I am halfway done. So, for me, it's half time. And that got me thinking about football, particularly about the half time events in the locker room. The coach usually gathers all the players in the locker room for pep talk.

This is not for lack of desire for good things, rather, it's like a tug of war we play with ourselves inside between us wanting something good and not feeling worthy of it. Frequently using the word should is an excellent indication that one may be experiencing self sabotaging behaviors.If there is no real reason for one to not experience good things, then self sabotage is present.Self sabotage can be a minor thing- a phase- or it can become so serious that... read full article > >

Blacks need to come out the closet to support BET News and B

We messed up. When we err, we need to admit it and move to correct the wrong. Black folks have been complaining about BET programming for ages when, in actuality, they've been checking it out on the "down low." Listening to the negativity over the years, even I was shocked to find out there were so many closet watchers secretly hooked on BET Nightly News. I've gotten calls and emails from people all over the country upset about BET's decision to cancel the program. Many of them say that BET is their only real connection to the Black community, and, for many organizations it is often the only TV coverage they receive.It's not just the over 40 crew tuning in... read full article > >
