 Hello, Everyone.  donovin  here, with today's thought: THOUGHT: It Seems Like Nothing Is Happening...but Something is Getting Done I wrote this for the hard headed like me. The people who have to learn to slow down more and have anxiety less. The people that have the million things to do today list and only get a few done. Relax!  It may seem like nothing is getting done, but something actually is. The problem I have to realize. Hopefully you will to is that we as humans have.....limitations.....yes I said it. I am not a superman. Living with that false mindset will only super burn me out! Here are somethings I have to remember when I feel nothing is getting done: 1) PRAY about It - Nothing is worth my heart rate racing, hair falling out, running to a quiet place and PRAY. When I slow down and take the time to process things.  I can get clarity and move ahead at a steady pace. 2) WRITE it down - Think about your goal and the steps to obtain it. What...

  Hello, Everyone. donovin here, with today's thought:   THOUGHT: What kind of President do you want? I'll start with this YouTube clip from the movie, Head of State staring Chris Rock.  Prepare yourself, depending on on who you are, this blog may be long or short, boring or powerful, but it still has a point especially as people cast their vote today.     The President of The United States is elected and responsible to preform and enforce the laws written by Congress and, to that end, appoints the heads of the federal agencies, including the Cabinet.   What are the roles of the president? The President is simultaneously 6 roles... (1) chief of state , the formal head of a national state as distinguished from the head of the government.   (2) chief executive , implement policy, supervise the executive branch of government, prepare executive budget for submission to congress, and appoint and remove executive officials. The head of government i...

 Hello, Everyone. donovin here, with today's thought: THOUGHT: Being A Student It's been a while since I wrote and this topic has been on my mind. I think it is appropriate to share especially at this time when students are back in school. I think also a way we should think about life. I will try to keep this short as possible...😄....no promises. Here are somethings to think about: 1) NOT EVERY STUDENT LEARNS THE SAME WAY Do you know how you learn the best?  a) Visual -  You like a diagram, picture, mind map, etc. b) Arial - You want to hear the information to understand it , rather than reading it from a book. c) Physical - You are more of a hands-on learner. Feel, touch how to make and learn.  d) Logical - You can recognize patterns, and connect 'perplexed' concepts easily.  e) Social - You learn things from socializing and communicating with people, both verbally and non-   verbally, People how are social learners might pursue counseling, t...

Hello, Everyone. donovin here, with today's thought: THOUGHT: Cursing/Profanity - Unnecessary Language This isn't an easy one to write about. Some people are probably rolling their eyes or share the sentiment of the lady in the picture of the left. That's okay and I understand, but I wanted to share my thoughts about unnecessary language of cursing as I've known it growing up and it's so called proper name, profanity. Dictionary's meaning: verb (used without object) to use profanity; curse; swear. verb (used with object) to swear at; curse: He cussed the pedestrian for getting in his way. to criticize or reprimand in harsh terms (often followed by out): The coach cussed out the team for losing. Synonyms for profanity cuss , cuss word , dirty word , expletive , four-letter word , obscenity , swear , swearword , vulgarism God's Word on the subject (just a few scriptures) 9 With the tongue we praise our...

Hello, Everyone. donovin here, with today's thought:  The Direction of Your Anger (My George Floyd Reaction)  First of all, I want to send my condolences to the family and friends of George Floyd. My prayers and heart goes out to you for your loss. May God give you strength, His love, and comfort during this time. You lost a family member and/or a friend. The world lost another black man taken away from us too soon and his absence will be missed. Though I did not know George, He was/is someone's Father, Son, Brother, Uncle, Friend, etc. And his absence from the Black community and nation has been felt since his passing. I sent the past week remembering the fears of my mother and how she'd stress to me dealing with the police and statistics of black men being murdered or locked up in prison. that I would be lucky to reach 35 years old based on statistics at that time. Thank God for me beating those statistics, but there is unrest for black men in what is call...

Hello, Everyone. donovin here, with today's thought: FEAR Or  FAITH ......Which One Are You Holding Onto? With all the concerns about COVID-19, I see there is a sense of fear going around. When I go to the grocery store and see people with masks on, I wonder if they are infected. Then they look at me without a mask as if I am doomed. There is a lot of mixed emotions about the whole thing and at the end of the day, the choice of how you react to the virus is yours. Before I thought of the question and title of today's thought...I was thinking of something my mother used to do with my younger sister and me. How our Mother would take us to the Video store (VHS) and would rent these cheesy zombie movies. You know these movies. The movie that would have you laughing on the floor beginning to end! Not with my Mother. My sister and I would be eating popcorn in front of the 25-inch console TV (revealing old age) on the grossest parts of the movie. I'd look bac...
