Synergy

I just finished my cereal dinner (at 11pm)... hey don't judge me, my boys are with their father this week... lol. I was checking my email... and then I felt the urge to find words for my current state of being. I have been trying to figure out the appropriate words for weeks now, because I wanted to blog about it. The closest I got to it was my brainstormed list of feelings a few blog post back. As I drank my milk, it became crystal clear... its synergy!

syn·er·gy- (snr-j)n.The interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects.

Synergy is an amazing thing! When Casblog and I were sitting together to come up with the name of our business, Synergy and Solutions, I knew the name was powerful. Today, I can truly recognize the magic in the word as I experience it in my life.

For the last several months, I have been stepping out of faith in so many areas of my life- personally and professionally. Faith and a dream are carrying me through these days.

Dreaming use to be so scary for me, because I felt alone and/or unsupported. Many years ago, I began to truly live in my faith and understanding that I am never alone or unsupported, because God knows my heart and is always there even when its seems no one else is... I know I can always count on God. So my faith has shown me that I am never alone or unsupported, but dreaming remained a scary thing for me. I would test the waters every now and then, but in some ways I was too caught up in my present circumstances and living my crazy life to dream. Looking back, not dreaming was at the cornerstone of my internal struggles with where I am now and where I wanted to be.

Recently, I began to reflect on how different my life is now even from just last year. I was drawn to read my journal from last year. During that time, I was truly in a valley... so I decided to spend my Easter 2006 weekend in solitude (which can be hard for me at times... I am a true extrovert). In hindsight, I am so grateful that I listened and took the time for myself. That time of solitude was the next step that I needed in order to make a breakthrough out of the valley. In my journal entries, I wrote about my struggles and my mental state of despair. I released my struggles to God, and at the end of one of my entries I asked God to help me dream again!

I can truly say when I released my struggles to God, he took care of SITUATIONS in ways that I could have never imagined. He took care of ME as he always does... and Today I am able DREAM again.

God's grace is amazing! One realization that I had recently, is that not only am I dreaming again, but Today, I choose to... dream with others. The SYNERGY that currently exists in my life between me and my dream partners is phenomenal!

My friend, sometimes says how blessed he feels to have such amazing people in his life.... ditto.

A mustard seed of faith and willingness to dream... WOW!

Forever Grateful,
Wonder Woman

Sane folks please stand up!

SANE FOLKS please stand up! I just can't take it! Cameron Giles a.k.a Cam'ron was on 60 minutes... with his dumb ass commentary on "stop snitching". Where was Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton for this insanity? Where were the protest and the media outcry? Where are the SANE FOLKS?

I don't watch the news much these days, because I don't know when it happened, but "reputable" news media now promote "jerry springerish" news. Is it that news has changed or are we truly a "jerry springerish" society. I believe we have not gone that far and I ask that all the SANE FOLKS please stand up!

I hate to even post the link about this dumb ass, but I know it will be forwarded to me in a email at least 10 times today with my peers commenting about how "stupid" Cam'ron is, but I truly feel we need to do more than just comment in an email forward. SANE FOLKS please stand up!

I am a true fan of comedy and love a good laugh... it always gets me through the day... but this sh*t ain't funny and I am outraged. The ideology behind dumb ass's commentary about stop snitching is costing lives... and is so much worse for the Black community than what Imus said... SANE FOLKS PLEASE STAND UP!!!!

Here is the link to CBS News in case you are like me and don't really watch the news:

Please comment on this blog post... What I would like to see is the SANE FOLKS STAND UP and in your comments please offer a possible means for the SANE FOLKS to stand up!

New Beginnings

If you read my last post... you know that WonderWoman has been feeling overwhelmed lately. Well, Friday was my last day at my "old" day job... and this week I will be in orientation for my "new" day job.

A friend asked me how did I feel today, since I left my "old" day job. I definitely am very happy to be able to move on because my last job was becoming too toxic. I am excited about the new possibilities with this next phase of my career. I am excited to do "smart" work again, and to feel like my skills and experience will be better utilized on the day job.

I am looking forward to orientation, because it will help ease my transition... and clear my mind a bit so I can get focused on my new day job.

Today, I Choose... to stay open to new beginnings.
