Gratitude Is The New Black

Gratitude is the new black. ~ A Wise Person I love this statement. There are so many positive ideas associated with the color black. I remember my first “little black dress”. It was the epitome of simple elegance. Older women and some younger ones taught me that you couldn’t go wrong with a “little black dress”. I paired it with some gorgeous black heels, a little black satin purse, and a piece of black kente cloth. The simple gold, burgundy and green design in the cloth

What Do You Love About You?

Take a moment and think about this question: What do you love about you? Right now, take out a pen and paper or open the notes on your phone and write 10 things that you love about you. If you need help, phone a friend or two or three. Think about the compliments that you’ve gotten. What are people telling you they admire about you? Here are some possibilities: I really enjoyed listening to your presentation. You’re very engaging. That’s a great outfit. It was really nice mee

Two Simple Strategies For A Finish Strong Boost

Simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world. Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching We’ve all heard those sayings about the KISS principle and keeping things simple. However, this message from Lao Tze reveals a power that I had not considered. Simplicity

One Of Those Things Your Grandmama Told You That Rescues You From The Bottom Of The Barrel

Whew! The last 6 or 7 weeks have been more than a doozy and some little gremlins keep adding things with deadlines to my TO DO list. At one point, I was so physically tired that I went below zero. I was definitely in the red. As you know, I do not like getting to the bottom of the barrel trying to scrape up some energy. But it seemed extra family and work responsibilities were multiplying. They were like dung beetles that roll up into little balls. Before you know that one

Speak To People, Say Please & Thank You

When I was a graduate student entering my final year, I had a clinical internship at a VA and medical school. My father’s advice was to “Speak to everybody from the janitor to the president. You never know who you’re gonna need or who might need you”. So, as I stood on the periphery of my professional life as a clinical psychologist, I set about putting into action this timeless seemingly elementary advice. Growing up in the south, speaking to others was expected and commonpl

Unleash The Power Of Gratitude

“Count your blessings”. Say, “Thank you”. It’s very likely that you heard these statements from your parents and grandparents, elders or spiritual teachers. Like many children you may have ended your day with nightly prayers or affirmations. The adults in your life coached you to say what you were thankful for and to ask for special blessings for those you love. If you ever forgot to say thank you, your caregivers reminded you until it became a seamless practice. These early

Eat Your Peas And Count Your Blessings

My elementary school was literally in the backyard of Martin Luther King Jr.’s birth home. Okay. Not exactly in the yard where they might have had family barbecues but right behind it and about 1½ blocks from Ebenezer Baptist Church. I grew up surrounded by powerful symbols of the civil rights movement with parents who gave me the message to make the world better and fight for what’s right and just and fair. And of course, do unto others as you would have them do unto you was
