Its that time again….JANELLE MONAE….
Just signed to Bad Boy records and introduced to insiders last week by Diddy with the following statement: “I’ve been blessed with artists like Jodeci, Notorious B.I.G. and Mary J.
Blige in the past, but this artist right here … you’ve just got to see it to believe it. I don’t know if you ever felt the Holy Ghost, but that’s the only feeling you’re going to feel tonight,”
Is she that good, probably not, but she is nice and the jams are tasty.
There are more…LeBron & Garnett is hot too…but Diesel and The Assassin…great idea.
Carlos Whitt, blogger supreme, wrote this post today about his adopted son. This is a self serving post for me because just last weekend I had the same thoughts racing through my mind as we celebrated Isaiah’s 6th birthday. If you have not been adopted, or adopted a child, you probably do not understand the full effects of these emotions. Happy Birthday Zaya…and Losiah
It is days like today that I think of her.
And I know, she is thinking of you.
She is wondering what you are doing.
She is wondering how you are.
I am wondering what she is doing.
I am wondering how she is.
Today is the day that my heart is so full it is about to pound out of my chest.
Today is a day that her heart may be deflated and in need of filling.
Today we are going to eat some cake and you are going to watch American Gladiator reruns on my lap.
Today she will probably eat some kimchi and pray that you are taken care of.
Today I will speak to you in English.
Today she will remember you in Korean.
So you know what son?
I am going to make you a promise.
For as long as I can call you mine, we will remember her.
We will remember the bravest lady in the world who allowed her life to become incomplete in order for my life to become complete.
I am going to spill tears on the back of your head as I let you fall asleep on my chest tonight.
And I will think of her.
Because in a really strange way,
I love her just as much as I love you.
Happy Birthday Losiah.
Daddy
All to often people get so excited about their announcement that they let the cat out of the bag early and ruin the impact. Churches, organizations, relatives, super sleuths, all can ruin the surprise that may be created for impact. I have worked in a lot of organizations and had more than a few times have we tried to protect a secret for impact just to see it exposed early because someone either wanted the attention or just could not keep quiet. Enter Starbucks. The masters of creating environment and culture. Not only are they great at creating a mood around coffee, they also now make a great Sweet Tea (only in the southern states). What will the big surprise be this week? Better yet, what is your big surprise that you are protecting to give a major impact in your organization?
