Hi All!

Don't know what RebelMouse is than let me quote Mashable ,"At first glance RebelMouse looks like a digital newspaper of your social life, organized on Pinterest." After you spend some time on the site it becomes clear that its so much more than that."

RebelMouse is an aggregator that inhales your social media and churns out a dynamic website.

In their own words,"RebelMouse organizes your social presence into a beautiful, dynamic and social site -- in minutes. It's based on the idea that people are proud of what they share on social networks, but are starting to feel embarrassed about their websites. RebelMouse is your social front page and automatically updates as you post on social networks as well as when you blog directly on your site.To use Rebel Mouse you sign up and add in your social media sites. The free version allows you to:

Create navigation

RebelMouse becomes your dashboard and window to the world that folks have only dreamed of. That's why you have early adapters like Gary Vaynerchuk, Robert Scoble, and Craig Newmark using RebelMouse as their front page to the web.

RebelMouse's blog is wonderful in walking you through using the different components of RebelMouse such as navigation.

You can click here to see my Wirequeen site on RebelMouse. I've been on since it was first released and have not taken full advantage of it. I'll be spending more time this summer getting better aquainted with how I can make better use of the site.

Sunday Motivation and Inspiration May 19, 2013

2013-05-19T09:52:00.001-04:00

Hi All!

Today's Sunday Motivation and Inspiration shares the concrete steps you have to take to manifest your best life.

How are you realizing your purpose? Are you just visualizing and praying for what you want? As the video highlights you have to take concrete laser focused ACTION. Without action all your visualizing and praying will be for nothing. Jesus said , "Pick up your bed and walk!" Wanting, dreaming and praying are worthless without action to back them up.

What actions are you taking to manifest what you want in your life? Leave a comment and share so we all can learn.

For All the Mother's

2013-05-11T10:25:00.001-04:00

Hi All!

Tomorrow is Mother's Day in the United States. I remember back home in Detroit I walked into my butcher's shop and was energetically greeted with, "Happy Mother's Day". I responded, it's not Mother's Day. He replied, it is in Syria. I'm Father and Mother to my two girls so I am celebrating Mother's Day. I smiled and happily greeted him with "Happy Mother's Day".

I hope we all have his attitude on this Mother's Day, that no matter what the circumstances are celebrate your special day. I'd like to wish each and everyone of you whether you gave birth to a child or you standing in raising a child, "Happy Mother's Day".

I'd like to share a special call with you. kindly dial 1-832-225-5021.
You can contact me for more information/

Enjoy your special day.

Sunday Inspiration May 5, 2013

2013-05-05T09:31:00.001-04:00

Hi All!

Today's Sunday inspiration and motivation comes from my youngest daughter. The Y generation has not had the freedom to walk to school and play in the street as my boomer generation did. This generation also did not have recess. A fact I still think is just plain wrong. When my kids were younger I had us all enrolled in belly dancing classes before we moved to Arizona, because of my skeletal issues. The eight years we have been in Arizona my activities have been severely curtailed because of my health. Yet My baby who had never so much as tried to dance set out to find her sport.

Baby girl doing Circus yoga about 4 years ago.

Baby girl is smart as a whip. Her teachers love her and always ask if I can send them twenty more like her. She is a very good student. Yet she realized that there must be balance in one's life. So baby girl (Fifteen this year) set out to find her sport. First up was volleyball in middle school. Not good. This generation also did not have recess. A fact I still think is just plain wrong.

Next baby girl tried track. Not good. I have to give her credit she did not quit no matter how many times she came in last. An interesting aside, I would be cheering like a trained seal when she came in last. I also cheered for the other kids who came in last. One such incident, one of her teammates came over and gently told me the kid was not on their team. I said okay and kept cheering. She asked why was I still cheering for the kid. I responded how would you feel if you were dead last. She and the other kids who heard the conversation started cheering the last kid on in each race. You could see the visual change on the last kids face when we started cheering them on that the could do, it keep running. Those were the quietest parents I have ever seen in my life. Yes, I was an anomaly being the only Black parent in the stands. Thankfully the season ended. Then she had to make a decision to try out for pom or cheer at her new high school. She went with pom. When we walked in the way the coach looked at us, I new Baby girl had a snowballs chance in hell of making the team. Before you try and challenge me on this one, I've been Black 58 years, so yes I know when I'm encountering racism. She didn't make it and I talked her through it.

I don't think baby girl remembers her older sister being on the church cheer team. Yet, she discovered cheer on Youtube. Baby girl became the energizer bunny to try out for a private gym. She set up an exercise regime and faithfully followed it, tried out and made the junior team. She was a backstop base. Her flyer's loved her. The one time her flyer fell the person coaching had told them to hold their spot and her flyer fell. Baby girl's flyer had to calm her down. Baby girl swore no matter what her flyer would never hit the the ground, and they didn't. My being hit in November 2012 ended that.

Now at the end of ninth grade she tried out for cheer at her high school which was also less expensive.
She went through the three days of practice and then try outs. I said a prayer that however it turned out she would be okay with the decision. She walked through the door and said Mommy I didn't make it. I went into Mommy mode and held out my arms to hug her. She came to me and put her head on my shoulder and after a minute said, "You're hugging the newest member of the varsity cheer team". She got me!

Baby girl knows grades have to stay at the level she is now (3.3). She has a long haul to be a reconstructive and plastic surgeon. So my take away is no matter, what follow your dreams. You will reach your goals or something better.

So what is your takeaway and how have you kept going to reach a goal. Please share by leaving a comment.

Hi All!

Do you believe you can change your reality? Share your thoughts in a comment after watching the video.

I put a great deal of store in the subject of this video. In 2000 I was told by an orthopedic specialist that in 10 years I would be in a wheelchair with my head bent on my bosom. I said thank you fired him and found doctors (Naturopathic, Rheumatology, nutritionist, nuclear medicine, etc) who believed like me that this prediction did not have to be my future. Well this is year 13 and I may be rickety at times but I 'm not in a wheelchair, my head is unbowed and I'm still chugging along.

What has been your take away from the video? Leave a comment and share.

Branson Centre Mentorship

2013-03-19T09:28:00.000-04:00

Hi All!

After going through and completing their selection process, I was selected as a (Sir Richard) Branson Centre Mentor. Today's the big day when I meet the entrepreneur that I'm to work with. I was initially told I was in, then the Centre was flooded with mentor applications. The process was reopened and I had to interview in addition to filing an application. Not happy, hadn't had to interview in many years. Apparently, I did okay. I will met my entrepreneur this morning. Here's a short video in the Centre in Jamaica.

Looking back to when I started my business I wish I had better information on all the costs of starting up . You know those times when you don't know what you don't know. Smile. What are some of the things you would like to have known when you were just starting on your journey as an entrepreneur?
