reFLECTION

Occasionally i leave little pieces of me along the footprints i make on this earth... like bread crumbs, so i can find my way home.

These are the things that bring me BACK... no matter where i have drifted off to.

They are the songs that i rarely hear on the radio that make me feel like I AM invincible

(cause every super hero needs theme music)

They are the smell of grandma's cornbread

(one pan for me, one pan for the rest of the family)

They are the signature facial expressions and sounds i make when LIFE throws me a curve ball

(yes, i come with sound effects.. and kung fu grip)

They are any time I catch an episode of Sesame Street or just a sighting of Bert & Ernie

(somehow as a baby i just knew Bert and I had more in common, than just a rubber ducky... )

Its whenever I am near the ocean

(a lot of my A'HA moments during my teenage years came while sitting indian style on the Berkeley Marina)

It whenever i see my little brother smile

(doesnt happen often cause he all grown and thugged out, but whenever he does crack a smile - he reminds me of that lil bald-headed baby i met when i was eight)

It is sharing an inside joke with my god-sister

(which aint easy when your separated by 3 time zones and your lives are completely different, but EVERYTIME we talk i am reminded of why she is the family I LOVE and I CHOSE)

It is reading a old, OLD comics and eating red licorice

(and dont ask me why, but thats also a MAJOR turn on)

These are just a few of the bread crumbs i look for when I am feeling lost- and to this day, they have NEVER FAILED to lead me home.

We have all been told that "in life, it is important to know where you are going." And.. i get that. But life, real LIFE, will take you off your path in a heartbeat. So know your way back home.

Call me crazy, but every video game I have ever played- came with a RESET button.

#itjustgottoodeepforya

So know you way back home... and (press) START again.

*Tyra Banks--- from token on the set... to SUPERMODEL... to Ms. BANKABLE productions owner/creator. This woman had taken lessons from QUEEN herself, OPRAH, to form a powerful player in the media/entertainment industry. From posing in front of the camera- to pulling the strings on EVERY ASPECT behind the camera--

habits of SUCCESSFUL people... (p.2)

11. They align themselves with like-minded people. They understand the importance of being part of a team. They create win-win relationships.

12. They are ambitious; they want amazing - and why shouldn’t they? They consciously choose to live their best life rather than spending it on auto-pilot.

13. They have clarity and certainty about what they want (and don’t want) for their life. They actually visualise and plan their best reality while others are merely spectators of life.

14. They innovate rather than imitate.

15. They don’t procrastinate and they don’t spend their life waiting for the ‘right time’.

16. They are life-long learners. They constantly work at educating themselves, either formally (academically), informally (watching, listening, asking, reading, student of life) or experientially (doing, trying)… or all three.

17. They are glass half full people - while still being practical and down-to-earth. They have an ability to find the good.

18. They consistently do what they need to do, irrespective of how they are feeling on a given day. They don’t spend their life stopping and starting.

19. They take calculated risks - financial, emotional, professional, psychological.

20. They deal with problems and challenges quickly and effectively, they don’t put their head in the sand. They face their challenges and use them to improve themselves.
