Cross Country Career: Go or stay?

Before investing a great deal of energy in your career relocation decision, establish the groundwork. Begin with a balanced mindset by answering the following:

I Lost My Mind

God knows who you are and God knows what you are and it doesn’t matter what haters think, it doesn’t matter what devils think and it really doesn’t matter what you think!

Reflecting On Domestic Violence

“Reflecting on Domestic Violence” is a book that addresses the issue with solid information to women and men from why it happens, to victims becoming survivors.

Corralling The Crack Vote

After political defeat after defeat, Democratic Parties in America thought the way they could take back the government was to be more “Republican” than Republicans.

Cross Country Career

Follow your dream… period. If your dream career hot-spot is concentrated in a specific region, go for it… no matter what.

“Excessive!”

Tree limbs…ironing cords…shoes…fists…boards…extension cords…belts…sticks…scalding hot water…razor straps…paddles…profanity…and even from the barrel of a gun were demoralizing instruments used when my mommy meted her schizophrenic spankings!

Wildcats Escape Div-II Panthers 34-33

Saturday’s battle of the Cats was exactly that. It was a real battle. Damn what you heard about Florida Technical University being a Division II program. They had a chip on their shoulder, came into Municipal Stadium and BROUGHT it to the Wildcats in front of 8,431 fans.

Regress To Progress

Integration was a devilish trick! So-called “Negro leaders” suggested that we didn’t have to eat at the Black restaurant because we could now dine at the white owned restaurant even though the best tasting food there was prepared and cooked by Black chefs. The same scenario was repeated when other businesses and trades were discussed.

Career without Care

Think about it, without CARE, there can be no CAREer. Several days ago the realization that the first four letters of career is a word all by itself rushed to the forefront of my imagination.

Area Masons Celebrate Prince Hall Day

On September, 21st, Prince Hall masonic brothers and sisters of the Order of Eastern Star (O.E.S.) filled the claustrophobic confines of St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church, located in Bunnell, Florida for the Annual Prince Hall Day celebration, commemorating the life of the founder of what is known as the father of Black freemasonry on America.

Burn

The Michael Bennett family is now out of hiding and Michael Bennett is back at work with the NYPD. This time there are several complicated plot lines that take the reader along for a great page turning read to the very end. Patterson and Ledwidge have always told great stories in the Bennett thrillers and “Burn” is a welcome addition to the series.

“Rejection!”

Similarly to Jesus, Moses, Elijah, the Rev. Martin Luther King, and the Native Americans, individually and collectively, each person can attest that once you appear on the “mountain top,” be prepared to receive a “majestic glory.”

The 2014 Political Pimp Move

No matter how much love Black people show their political party of choice and the candidates that run for office under that party’s banner, Black people get screwed just like a two dollar whore on the bad side of town.

Promise Without Practice

Next time you find yourself making excuses to milk the clock, do a half-ass job, or pretend to perform, recognize the mirror reflects two ways.

Blame The Elevators

The latest uproar about domestic violence was escalated when a video surfaced that showed a National Football League player deliver a punch to his current wife on an elevator that knocked her unconscious!

Wildcats strip Tigers’ Stripes 36-23

Bethune-Cookman defended its number one ranking and secured its first victory over Grambling State since 1954 Saturday with a 36-23 “cat-fight in front of a Municipal Stadium crowd of 9,423.

NFL Shoves don’t shake B-CU Band Members

I was just as flabbergasted as every other Bethune-Cookman University student, fan, employee, alum, and even my good friend Dr. Edison O. Jackson, (B-CU’s president) when I saw the clip on ESPN while watching NFL week-1 scores.

Harvard Study: Why Big Business Should Care About America’s Struggling Families

The growing divergence between large and mid-size firms on the one hand and America's middle and working class citizens and small business on the other, is not sustainable and unlikely to improve anytime soon, according to the finding of a new study by Harvard Business School.

Motivation: An Elusive Slinky

Motivation is not elusive, it is either wanted or unwanted. Prove to me if this is untrue. Toy with me for a moment: In your life has good enough been good enough and will always be good enough?

Have a Nice Guilt Trip

Scottoline and Serritella (who are mother and daughter) are back again in “Have a Nice Guilt Trip,” a witty and fun excursion into the lives of both authors.

Meet The New Slave: Same As The Old Slave: Black American Voters

The US political party that should love Black people the most, shows their appreciation for all of the Black votes they get by spending money with every race of people but Black people.

TI (9)? I Exist… And You?

When was the last time your body thanked your lungs for air? Think about it before slighting the question.

B-CU tops FIU Again, Aggies maul Bulldogs in the 10th Annual MEAC/SWAC Challenge

This is a back-to-back victory for the Bethune-Cookman University football team. Coach Brian Jenkins is fresh off a kick-boxing match and a 2013 campaign that saw the Cats go and earn Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) championship honors.

Any Negro Won’t Do

Now is the time for Democrats nationwide to get rid of losers they have been hiring, year after year, to work on losing campaign after losing campaign!

“Nothing Could Ever Take the Place of Them!”

Upon my return from a business trip, told my husband and daughter that I was requesting a non-debatable hiatus from them. Did not matter where on “God’s green earth” their destination was to but fervidly knew that they had to pack their bags with haste and find refuge away from me for the next three to four days!

Status Quo…..For Now, But Not For Long

The final recount in the District One School Board race has been tallied and incumbent Joie Cadle has retained her seat on the board by the staggering sum of barely more than 60 votes. Josh Katz ignited a flame which is not going out. Parents are up in arms about the Board’s cavalier attitude and performance, and teachers have finally found a way to fight back.

Orange County School Board: District One Desperately Needs Josh Katz!

We can’t fire Barbara Jenkins until we elect people like Josh Katz and Regina Hellinger to the School Board. We can’t allow people like Joie Cadle to damage our kids ever again. In 2016 at least three incumbents must go!

Here’s What Thinkers in Ferguson Can Do

Black people in Ferguson must have a solid plan for progress. The civil disturbance, the riots, the mayhem and the violence will not stop until the people feel there is something better, more progressive for them to do.

Terminated Illegally (7)? Refocus the Loss

His response was long-suffering, whispery, and haunted by smothering apprehension: “Bertha used me, I feel demeaned each time I remember the discussions and moments we had at the beach; we were alone to the world, just her and I...
