  • DAILY PROMPT – DO YOU TRUST Your INSTINCTS?

    Do you trust your instincts?

    Do I trust MY instincts?

    Do you see the expression on Bitmoji CCG’s face? That really is how I feel about attempting to answer this question.

    Now that I am older (not yet ready for an Age Reveal), the answer is still NOT absolutely YES, but; growth, maturity,  and experience, have been IMPECCABLE teachers. 

    So it seems for me, the most honest answer would be that familiar sage wisdom,

    “I’m still not where I ought to be, but; PRAISE GOD, I’m NOT still where I used to be. ”

    My friends; THAT is saying a whole MOUTHFUL.

    Do YOU trust YOUR instincts?

  • YOU WANT To BECOME MORE INTELLECTUAL, But; DON’T HAVE TIME For READING ALL The BOOKS?

    Good Monday Afternoon!!!

    You say you want to become more of an intellectual.

    Well, how is it possible for you to make this happen for yourself?

    It often involves a lot of dedication to hours which become years of studying and research. However; between work, home, family, and the gym, the average person doesn’t have time to dedicate to those tens of thousands of hours for research.

    Apple CEO Tim Cook recommends BLINKLIST for lifelong learners, top thinkers, and anyone who wishes they had more time to learn the powerful ideas in nonfiction books.

    BLINKLIST gathers the key insights from nonfiction books into 15-minute reads and listens. There are over 7,500 titles across 27 categories including entrepreneurship, management and leadership, and personal development.  

    Check Out the list from the top photo, Give Yourself 30 Days, and; Get Ready,  Get Set, Now GOOOOOOOOO… !!!

  • STARBUCKS WORKERS ON STRIKE!!!

    Good Saturday Night!!!

    SBWorkersUnited (SBWU) is the nationwide labor union that represents Starbucks Coffee baristas.

    As of Thursday morning, November 13, Starbucks workers in over 40 U. S. cities were officially ON STRIKE.

    The strike is an open-ended ULPS (UnfairLaborPracticesStrike) and the SBWU members are committed to making THIS labor movement the BIGGEST and LONGEST in all of Starbucks history.

    However; this protest action is NOT only about Starbucks, but; the CEOs, Billionaires,  Politicians,  and, their GREED. They ensure their own monthly,  quarterly,  annual,  and,  holiday, BONUSES, while too many labor level employees struggle to make the ends meet.

    The folks in the executive suites need to be reminded that it is the WORKING CLASS people who really make this country.

    DO NOT BUY ANY STARBUCKS PRODUCTS until Starbucks and SBWU can agree upon and ratify a fair contract for the workers.

  • DAILY PROMPT – READING!!!

    What book are you reading right now?

    Good Early Saturday Morning!!!

    What book am I reading right now?

    Sadly, NONE.

    Since I began here, most of my reading has been other people’s responses to the DAILY PROMPT. 

    However, I’ve immensely enjoyed experiencing folks on their journeys by way of their written words. 

    One thing of which I am acutely aware is my lack of READING is heavily contributing to my struggles with WRITING.

    This is quite disheartening, because writing was once very therapeutic for me. And; I could really use some heavy sessions.

    What book are YOU reading right now?

  • MANDATORY FLIGHT CUTS At 40 U. S. AIRPORTS!!!

    Thursday,  November 6, was the 37th FULL DAY of U. S. Government Shutdown 2025, the longest in the history of the United States of America. 

    So, guess what?

    TSA Agents have been CALLING out SICK. Air Traffic Controllers have been Calling out Sick. These folks paychecks are now ON HOLD, and; their respective agencies still REQUIRE them to report for duty. This means until U. S. Congress can work on a plan that reopens the government, these good people are WORKING For FREE.

    H*LL YEAH, D*MN RIGHT, they’re calling out sick.

    As a result,  FAA will require airlines to begin cutting flights from 40 U. S. Airports starting as early as tomorrow,  Friday,  November 7.
