You matter

Hello World!
 Flat out, 100% true for you - You Matter! With all the talk about Black lives matter (and they do), Blue lives matter (and they do), Red Yellow Green Lives matter (and they do).  It's important to remember this............. It is not the color of the person or what type of adornment or uniform they may have on but it is the content of their character.  That makes the difference in an individual’s life AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, the difference they make in the lives of others.
Simply put - You matter by making sure other people do matter.
Muhammad Ali said "Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth." Question:  Are you trying to live rent free?       Are  you?
If the answer to that question is yes, here's how you can change that right now today.
Oh yeah, yes it's going to cost you something.  The good news is you don't need any money. NO MONEY?????   That's right!
But Zoe, how am I going to pay the bill, make payment on this earthly rent?" E Z!
We're going to make some withdrawals from your already existing storehouse and deposit them into the houses(lives) of others.
Appreciation and Acknowledgement are basic human needs.   People want to know they are being seen, heard and are considered important.
Let's cover some basic rules of engagement.
When you have an encounter/exchange with someone give them your focused, time and attention, full eye contact, and withdraw some smiles from that storehouse we mentioned earlier, then deposit these things into the houses of others
 Maya Angelou said, "I've learned that people will forget what you've said, people will forget what you do, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
 CONGRATULATIONS!
You've just crossed to the other side of the street and moved to the head of the class.  You're unstoppable!  It's a SLAM DUNK! You matter by making sure others do matter.

Let there be cake

Hello World!

Often times when I think about having cake it's in celebration of something, typically a birthday celebration.  Let's talk today about constructing a cake to celebrate our re-birthdays.  The difference between a birthday and a re-birthday is this.  A birthday kinda happens upon us in the sense that we can't choose it.  Life happens it upon us.  A re-birthday can be today or any day of our choosing that we decide to happen upon life.

There are 6 key ingredients we'll need for our re-birthday cake.  These ingredients are key because they have both ebb and flow.  Ebb and flow are things we give to others and to ourselves.

1 - PEACE
Slow down, make a conscious effort to operate and flow in tranquility and calm instead of chaos.

2 - JOY
Decide to be happy and glad.  You do this by choosing to see the best in others and your situation/circumstances.

3 - PATIENCE
You know when you have patience, you know when you don't have patience.  For those times when you feel like you don't have it or you're running short, STOP count to 10, then do it again. There is a time and season for everything.  Hold on - it's coming.

4 - LOVE
The type of love referred to here is Agape love.  Love that is unconditional, not contingent upon or bound by circumstances, given freely with no expected return.

5 - KINDNESS
Look for ways to meet the needs of others.  The best acts of kindness are RAK.
RAK means Random Acts of Kindness.  It's thrilling to see someone experience a RAK.  This ingredient is a twofer, this one will also give you more of ingredient #2, Joy

6 - FORGIVENESS
Wikipedia defines forgiveness as: the intentional and voluntary process by which a victim undergoes a change in feelings and attitude regarding an offense, lets go of negative emotions such as vengefulness, with an increased ability to wish the offender well.

I can smell those re-birthday cakes baking in the ovens now.

Ah man!  these cakes ar going to be dabombdotcom!

Happy Re-Birthday to you!!!!!
