via What’s Missing? Can We Solve the Problem of Gun Violence in Schools?
A year, and a few months later, and here we are again! Students are risking and giving their lives to protect their classmates, and yet, millions of adults remain quiet, apparently powerless, and unmotivated to take the smart actions to ensure that guns never are able to get into the hands of our children; to take actions to ensure that each child is provided the positive mental health supports they need; and the political acumen to force our politicians from both sides of the isle to end the ridiculous stance of continuing to allow weaponry to be as easy to purchase as a pack of gum! #Enoughisenough #Simplyputnoguns
#POWERFUL words, #POWERFUL choices, #POWERFUL actions! Find your words to become a #Learner, #Leader, #Lifer! So a year later I decided to walk through my #powerful word selection, and this is what I came up with today: #Positive #Outstanding #Warrior #Engaging #Resourceful #Fun #Unbelievable #Loving. So, several of my word are the same, and several have transformed, and that’s okay! -It is very important for each person to reflect on their personal power code, and then reflect on that code in order to empower themselves to take the actions that matter. Here’s hoping that you rethink your power, and live it to the fullest!

Father’s Day Tribute
Quote Posted on
I wrote this piece two years ago, and my father was still here with me. I simply have a hard time realizing that he is gone from this world, and yet, I know that he is at peace. As I shared in this piece, I know that through the trials and tribulations that occurred over my life, and during the times that I shared many of those with him, he was teaching me. I didn’t always know it at the time, yet, he was guiding me, and steadying me for some future challenge that would call for #Resilience. Each of us go through our days wondering if we are going to make it, and I think that the most #Resilient of us actually are more prepared to encounter the next great unknown, often due to the challenges we faced as children, young adults, and/or due to an event that might have just happened. I have initiated a few books over the last couple of months, and the ideas are flowing in my mind, yet, are not all down on paper, and yet, I can hear my father’s voice telling me to keep going, to keep striving for success, and to never give up!
The children’s book is focused on building a Recipe for Resilience, the book on leadership will more than likely be titled, “Lead with Resilience, for your heart, mind, and soul” and the more in-depth book focusing on my ideas about the overall importance on #Resilience will help individuals learn about issues of #Resilience through stories of my life, those in my family, then will take readers on a personal journey of their own resilience, which I hope will lead them to an understanding that each of us can impact the resilience development of others.
I share this with you because, I bring it back to my father, and to my mother, who passed away so many years ago. Both of them have an indelible impact on my life, and one that I hope to convey to you through these books, and my spoken words.
Simply put, I hope to help others with building their #Resilience, and support each of you in becoming an individual who recognizes that sometimes the simplest of acts can make the greatest change in a person’s life.
I plan to keep blogging as well, and to share my progress with you all.
Lead With Resilience
