Good Afternoon to all of my readers! Today, I just feel good and I
wanted to
share my happiness with you. Days like this do not happen all of the time and I
am going to cherish the fact that I am feeling truly splendiferous today. That’s
a real word; I promise I did not make it up. I also wanted to share that I
received quite a few Blessings over the weekend from my Sorority Sisters
because of the dedication and willingness to work that I have shown thus far. I
promise you I am holding in tears, as I have realized two very important things
this past Saturday. Number one: If you complete and care deeply for everything
that you attach your name to, you're hard work will be noticed. If you take on
every task that you are given like you have something to prove and others will
take notice. I believe Martin Luther King Jr. stated it best in the quote
below.
"If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep
streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or
Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of
heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did
his job well."
Number 2: I am here to say that everyone that is in your life is there
for a reason. Yes, Gawd!! I love everyone in my life, even if they have only
crossed my path to teach me a lesson. I just pray that I am smart enough to
catch those lessons as they come. I believe that Tyler Perry spoke on it,
saying that the people that are in your life are placed there for a reason, to
be a blessing or a lesson. Take heed, my friend.
As an educator I love the process of learning and encourage everyone to
learn something new every day. I rejoice in the fact that I can learn from
everything that I am going through. This has become an essential part of my
journey to my own classroom. I just hope that my struggle may encourage someone
else through theirs. Lastly, I am still waiting on JCPS to give me the ok to sub;
tomorrow will be the end of week two, so hopefully I will hear something soon.
I am as they say, keeping the faith and fighting a good fight.
3 A Day Rant
1) Last night, I had the pleasure of watching the Black Girls Rock Award
Show. I was in return so inspired by the amazing women and young ladies that I
saw last night. I hope that I am on my way to making an impact in this world
through my love for education. As Ms. Janelle Monae stated, "There is
still work to be done!" I also love this quote from her, "Perfection
is the enemy of Greatness." Yes ma'am, she just better teach!!!
2) I am Blessed. I can’t say this enough.
3) My friend introduced me to this amazing motivational speaker on YouTube,
this weekend. No words for how this woman’s words have gotten my thinking gears
rolling. Learn more HERE:)
Until the next time that life has checked me.

P.S. I thought I would share this story about my kiddies.
Kid:"Ms.Tia my brain hurts!!!" Me: "Fabulous, that means its
working!!" If looks could kill, I wouldn't be here right now! The kiddos
will thank me for all this work and thinking that we do, when they get to
kindergarten:D
