What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail.

I would start a nonprofit for the well-being of small children five and under to teach them how to learn adapt and grow in an environment that is not geared toward helping them succeed in life but is more geared toward showing them how to grow up too fast and navigate the world as adults before they are even able to speak I would create programs that would help them utilize their small developing adventurous imaginations so that they are able to still be children but also be the great minds of the future without having a bunch of responsibility and a bunch of unnecessary attitude around them they would have different approaches to education and learning as well as different approaches to growth and development with a myriad of developmental bases of learning where it’s fun but also Educational with different kinds of motivational people in their environment who also have a heart for children and I would advocate for them on every level whether it’s food games education athletics or just as simple as communication between children and parents activism is more than just marching and talking it is also real life action and that is what I would do if I knew I would not fail.

To become a owner by 55

On By L Corelle GreenIn black family, family, my family, self love, WomenLeave a comment

What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself?

I have always wanted to own a pregnant teens group home for a long time so I set up a goal to achieve this by the age of 55. It has become a bit daunting because I don’t know the steps by which to take in order to accomplish it I know that I need to own a building and I need support plus staff, but trying to figure out what steps to take and the people to talk to to accomplish. This is difficult to understand and how to go about getting my foot in the door to get the houses in order to achieve this feet so I have constantly stopped before really getting started. This has been a passion of mine, since I was a teenager when I went from school to school talking about being a pregnant teen myself, or I want to own a total of three, and get into the business part of it to accomplish my goal of becoming someone to help society, and girls and learn that they can still make it even after they have children early.

Speaking things into existence watching them happen and enjoying the resistance

On By L Corelle GreenIn black family, family, making money, narcissist, People, Relationships, self love, travel, weight loss journey, WomenLeave a comment

What is your favorite hobby or pastime?

I have always been a dream or a person that likes to write and a person who likes to think and then I became a person who likes to speak so the things that I would write down I started seeing them aloud and watching them happen around me. I would always see things like a person who didn’t agree with what I saw or what I had said say it’s not because of what I said that this thing happened but I knew that it was because of what I said that it came about because of the sequence of events that took place that made it happen and it would make me chuckle because I didn’t knew that how it happened the process of what happened wouldn’t have happened like that if I hadn’t said it like that so I became a habit of mine to speak it into existence and watch it happen I’ve always been an optimist and I enjoy being an optimist because things always work out in my favor even when it doesn’t look like it. There’s always room for a win and since I’m a winner I always win in the end so my hobby is winning and writing about what I won. Whether that is weight loss Money understanding or peace of mind there are always little wins in everything.

The company I keep the people I hold dear

What details of your life could you pay more attention to?

Sometimes the people in my life who I find myself sharing my life with or not the best company the little details that mattered to me the most are not held in high esteem, and it seems to bring my vibration down like if I want to celebrate an accomplishment that I feel is important You would think someone who is supposed to be your biggest cheerleader would also be your biggest fan as well but sometimes that person is only there to be your devils advocate, and be the one to always try and tell you that they are the realist or the pessimist in your life And it doesn’t help you get anywhere when you just want somebody to talk to you instead of constantly give you that underhanded backhand that you wasn’t looking for or that you didn’t need

I have learned to pay attention to those small details, and no win to stop giving details to people who were only give back. I needed rhetoric instead of needed conversation. I now talk to people who give me considerate confirmation even if it’s constructive criticism, the objective word is constructive, and it’s necessary not unnecessary always giving with love not sarcasm and I can appreciate that.

I don’t work hard I work smart

On By L Corelle GreenIn adventure, black family, family, Relationships, self love, travel, WomenLeave a comment

In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled?

I have always been taught work smarter, not harder so and everything that I have done I have always found ways to optimize my productivity with out, overdoing it on my body since I love working with children, the goal is to not over, lift them or strain myself in the process of caring for them. This way I am teaching them effort. Oh, responsibility for their bodies and their brains without hurting themselves, and using their smarts more than their ability to use their muscles your brain is the most powerful muscle in your body and using that is the greatest thing I believe you can use to accomplish things in life, along with common sense.

What happened to society?

On By L Corelle GreenIn abusive partner, adventure, black family, family, food, inconsiderate,, making money, narcissist, self love, throwback Thursday, travel, voting, weight loss journey, Women2 Comments

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

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.
