Birthday

A new day dawns Not quite an ordinary day Though it has followed the day before Precedes the day after The day of one’s birth is a momentous event A whole life to be lived Dreams to be realised Relationships to build A life lived is an individual’s decision Some of which is thrust upon one by the choices made The moments of hesitation and indecisiveness Times we held our own selves back As we age birthdays become times of reflection Of the events of our life which are coloured by the people we have encountered The day may be filled with joy or tinged with sadness The old adage remains true we must remain our own priority Only we can truly determine our own state of happiness Even on the anniversary of our birth.

80 Young Adult Books by Black Authors

Supporting Black authors is something that I definitely need to start doing more, so I’ve compiled a list of 80 YA books by Black authors. I’m putting the ones that I’ve read at the top in bold, and the rest will be books that I have looked up and have put on my list to read. I can’t do much to change what’s going on in our world right now, but I can do my part to support the Black community in any way that I can. These are in no particular order and please feel free to add more!

Grown by Tiffany D. Jackson

Become The Player & NOT the Spectator of Your Life

Don't waste your life being a passive watcher of things that you could be doing yourself! In life you must learn to be resourceful and build a drive force that can allow you to be involved in the field rather than to be an observant from afar. Get out of the stands and back on the field, be a part of the game, where the action is, where you get to hit, to score, to win.

• Average people use the tools they have at hand as a form of excapism from their reality, great people utilize the tools they have at hand in a resourceful manner to improve their quality of life.

• Average people use social media as a form of distraction, great people use it for business purposes.

• Average people become complacent with the routines and people/places they have grown accustomed to because they fear change, great people embrace change and allow themselves to get out of their comfort zones to constantly try new things.

• Average people are followers of the crowds, trends, other people's behaviour, lack the capacity to think for themselves. Great people are leaders, trend setters who don't rely on the approval of others to feel secure in themselves and do what's best for them.

• Average people seek comfort, even if that same comfort keeps them stagnated in the same mediocre place, great people learn to thrive in their discomfort because they know that growth can only occur when one pushes oneself our of the boundaries of what we have previously been accustomed to.

• Average people are ok with doing the bare minimum to get by, great people are allergic to mediocrity, complacency and the possibility of succumbing to reaching their maximum potential, they give their best to whatever it is the do or they simply don't do it at all!

• Great people have and seek for vitality, average people numb themselves down with cheap entertainment, fast/unhealthy foods, unhealthy comfort habits and a lack of vision for themselves and their lives.

Do you want to be an spectator or a player in your own life, to be average and mediocre or an over achiever and successful person? The choice and the power to choose that is yours.

Many mighty ships are sinking

Many stars are falling down

And I count it as a blessing

That you hold me up now

I can tell that you've been praying

My whole life has turned around, yeah yeah

And I can't go without saying

That I thank God for you now..🎵🎶

When your child says “Why can’t I get a puppy?”

Instead of defaulting to “My house, my rules”

Try “Any pet is a lot of responsibility. A puppy would have to be fed, walked, and taken outside to use the bathroom several times a day and taken for regular check-ups and vaccinations at the vet. You can’t do all of that by yourself, and I/we don’t have the time or money either.”

When your teenager says “Why can’t I come home at 2:00 this Saturday?”

Instead of defaulting to “My house, my rules!”

Try “The time you come home is a matter of respect and consideration. I/We will not only be concerned for your safety, but we would either be disturbed in the middle of the night when you arrive or forced to stay up for several extra hours waiting.”

When your child says “Why am I not allowed to do this thing?”

Instead of defaulting to “My house, my rules!”

Try actually communicating a legitimate reason, because children pick up on subtlety and on context and on the unspoken messages, and it’s better to teach children lessons like “You should think really hard before taking on new responsibilities” and “It’s important to show consideration for the needs of the people with whom you share a living space” than lessons like “It’s okay for people to demand your absolute obedience so long as you’re dependent on them for survival.”
