Following your dreams

My great friend Karen is following her dream and opening an herbal apothecary in Brooklyn in just a few short weeks. I think that's pretty damn fabulous! And how amazing for her children to see their mother have the courage and positivity to follow her dreams.

I've always been one of those people that are too practical and hesitant to follow their dreams. But now I'm choosing to use my friend as inspiration to find ways to overcome the obstacles (real and self-created) to achieving my dream of one day being completely self-employed...Now if only I could narrow down exactly what I want to pursue, I'm interested in too many things - it's the Jamaican in me :)

"If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress." - Barack Obama

On this historic day, I wanted to share some wise words from Barack Obama, our newly inaug 44th President of The United States of America.

I'm so glad that he is now the person that is leading this country (and to some degree the entire world) down the path to progress. I know that I am follwing him on that path!

Ask the Black Man >> The Commitment Question

This is so relevant to what's going on with me! I've given my situation lots of thought and consulted my aunt, the one person I'm closest to that has experience with significant long-term relationships. She recommended that I don't give up too easily on something that has the potential to be great just because I'm not getting what I want right now. After all, anything worth having is worth waiting for!
