List three jobs you’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter.

If money didn’t matter, the three jobs that I would love to have with B writing music about life that incorporates circumstances about happy times sad times, meaningful moments and real life events. The second job or a career would be teaching people how to appreciate life skills and finishing what they start Jobs like that would encourage folks to actually finish school and pursue life skills. That would help them get further in education or in financial aspects of life my third would be teaching or helping teenagers the importance of sticking to their goals for when they become parents not all of a sudden, just dropping what their parents taught them, but actually paying attention to what is important about their parents life and what made them the way they are, and growing from that that way they are able to teach their children how to make it through hard times in life instead of not learning any lessons, and then rebel against them when they get older and especially learning about leaving a legacy because there are so many people in this world now, who have nothing to show for their life who have no legacy whatsoever, and whose name dies with them And I hate that that happens in today’s society. I truly believe no one should be forgotten, and every person deserves to live on through their family their children and the future and people forget how important that is when they only think about themselves and what they want at that moment or their feelings at the time.

What happened to society?

I sometimes wonder what happened to society I was reading a post about a person who went into a fast food restaurant to get something to eat not inside through the drive-through and they ordered some nuggets because they had a deal going on you order the 10 or 20 piece and you’ll get it a free fry with it small or large so she got a large and matter fact she got two free large fries with it. She told them the kind of sauces that she wanted for the nuggets and when I’m through the line she paid for it before she got there cause she ordered it online, the app since everything is done by app these days, but as she got through the line paid for her stuff left got home she realized that not only has she not gotten the kind of nuggets that she ordered. She didn’t even get any sauce for the nuggets as she thought about that, she just kept thinking how society is always complaining about wages and pay and how people don’t get a living wage and she just kept thinking how the government keeps lifting wages to make life easier but when she needs something and she goes to get simple things like the food that she wants to eat from a simple fast food restaurant Who is now going to be making $15-$20 an hour she can’t even get her order correct even though she’s putting so much time to learn what she’s learned at the job that she does that she hast to get correct or someone’s life could be in danger or someone’s Family could be hurt if she gets it wrong and she thinks about how all of these people don’t take their career and live seriously but they always take their pay seriously but they don’t put in the effort. It is when it comes time to go towards that future, they just want society to feel sorry for them and give them a leg up And then she wanders why are we as a society OK with that? Why are we always so willing to give give give instead of challenging people to do better with their self and their goals in life when will we start letting them know that if you want better, you need to do better you can’t expect a hand out all the time and still think that you deserve everything that other people have worked really hard for you can’t become an overnight sensation when you’ve only practice one Time, you want become a superstar singer if you only sang in the bathroom, so that record deal will not be coming your way you won’t be the lead cook at a restaurant if your favorite dish is cereal us as a society have got to begin to stand up for the things that we have worked hard for and stop letting people jump in and demand what they have not earned because it’s not fair to each and everyone of us and it’s definitely not OK when we keep getting the wrong stuff for what we paid for that was just an observation. Have a great evening.

The strength in numbers

What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in?

The aspects of my cultural heritage that I am most proud of is how we come together when something needs to be done, and we put our strength in our numbers and accomplish the goal that we are seeking out to accomplish. How we manage to put our differences aside and really focus on, the goal at hand to make whatever is the issue at hand to go away even if we all go our separate ways after that, we will stand together on that issue to make it a top priority to get it accomplished no matter how long it takes no matter how much it may Keep us from doing something else at that moment it is the most important thing that needs to be accomplished, and we will do any and everything to accomplish it until it is done for example, in Alabama when the man was being attacked everyone stopped what they were doing at that moment to go and Protect him. It didn’t matter what was happening around him or them. They stopped another example when they made Rosa parks get off the bus and was disrespectful to her. We stopped riding the bus and it took over a year, but we persisted to make it happen, so that they would give us equal rights to ride the bus freely and fairly another example is when we want it to be able to vote we stopped, allowing them to treat us any other kind of way, and we’ve been together to accomplish, making it a nationwide goal to not work with anything they have going on to make it happen every time when it’s something that we all want we will stand together to make it happen that is something that I love about my culture. We still are that way just in a different way now, and I appreciate that inner strength that we have to do that in order to accomplish the goal of having us matter things like that or what keeps us moving forward And all of us working together we still have a long way to go, but I do appreciate that about my culture, even though it takes an immense strength and something major to happen for us to do that the fact that we will do it I love it about us And I appreciate my culture for it

Mostly, Reputable brands like home and garden Corelle black owned

On By L Corelle GreenIn adventure, family, making money, People, self love, travel, WomenLeave a comment

What brands do you associate with?

If I look at it and it has some kind of class about it, I’ll go with it if I know it’s going to have lasting quality and it has been around for a while something that will stand the test of time. I used to tell my kids when they were be talking about the latest fad that they were going with I would always tell them. This thing will be around for a little bit a time and it will fade away but the kind of stuff that I use or I get well always be around like Hanes or fruit of the loom and those things are still around till today, you don’t see too many of the others that were popular during my kids days I’ve always liked Corelle dishes but also silverware has always been around when I see things that are classy and have flavor to them. Those are the things that I run with because I know they won’t shrink they don’t break easy and they last a lifetime like Tupperware.

Another thing that I enjoy our classic books and music. Those stand the test of time as well.

Not being there to make a difference

What are you most worried about for the future?

I have always wanted to be remembered as someone who helped and made a difference in my families life that I have memories to cherish with my kids, grandkids and great grands along with my brothers and sisters that I was a generous person and I built a legacy that would help not only children grow into productive human beings, but also would build well for generations to come so that my family would have a family business that was surrounded by mental health, togetherness the village concept of raising children, and the connectedness of having one generation after another know each other, and be together. This is not what I see in my family society, and the world at large, my fear is that we will become a technological society and forget what it feels like to have that connection with each other to where we understand how each other thinks how each other is dependent on one another and able to function in this world so that you understand subliminal messages you understand the simple things I decide I you understand when you’re talking too much you understand when you go out to eat, you don’t act a monkey These things are important attributes of human life and it is so important for me to be able to be there to show my grandchildren and great grands how to be great human beings. These are my fears of the future because so much time has been lost, and it seems this new thought of being a working person has taken the place of being a family unit People don’t understand how important family is and what family brings you that kind of stability. Love care, unconditional love, especially when it’s your own child so this is my goal is for the future because no matter what happens in my life I know in my heart, that I will always have the love of my brothers and sisters, my nieces and nephews, because at the end of the day, we literally grew up together and I wouldn’t ever abandon them for any reason or my children no matter what they do, even if they’re hardhead as hell I still with it because I was taught better. Thank God for a mother, who prayed and still does.

Self care and meditation

On By L Corelle GreenIn abusive partner, adventure, family, inconsiderate,, narcissist, Relationships, self love, weight loss journey, Women1 Comment

What could you do more of?

One thing I do not spend a lot of time on is self-care and time meditating for myself I spend a lot of time wondering where I should have went right when I went wrong instead of doing self evaluation’s and healing I think I would do better spending my time on self-care and self healing, and not worrying about the little hurdles that come toward me that I know, I have no power over that they are there for a reason and not to make a mountain out of a mole hill because some people are just broken and it is not my responsibility to fix them. I have to work on me and once I’m done working on me the right vibes and intensity and person will enter my life who matches my vibe, and since I know that I have to focus on what brings me peace and happiness and exit out of anything that takes away my peace and my happiness so that I stay on track and I move forward with my best life so these are things that I’ve learned and that I am working on every day sometimes I fall down but I always get back up. It might not be quick, but it is getting faster and faster.

Always follow your first mind

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

I have always been around people who have wisdom beyond their years who would always tell me never second guess the first thought you had about a situation that you found yourself in. That feeling that you get when you know something isn’t right but you try to justify it And make it be right and things just keep going wrong and getting worse the longer you try to stay in it or try to keep doing it that person that you don’t want to meet your family or that venture that you want to keep a secret because you know it is a get rich quick scheme that will probably not work. Your first mind tells you don’t do it but you push that aside and listen to the person in your ear who is saying it’ll be OK and then all fails and you realize I should’ve follow my first mind, so I realize now that first voice that I hear is always the right one to listen to because if no one is going to look out for me, I will always look out for me and I know me best one thing I know for sure is, I won’t fail me no matter what is going on and I always have fun with me even when no one else is around.
