30 Day Blogging Challenge: Day 4

MY DREAM JOB…

It’s a toss up between being a successful business owner involving my blog, and or being an entertainment news host. I guess I could combine the two.

With my blog, I would like to interview celebrities, individual in the entertainment industry about their work and brand in general. Something more positive about entertainers in the industry versus the same typical gossip. If anything, I would like to take their stories and branch them out into a larger topic.

That’s all I got for y’all.

Make sure you check out Day 1 Challenge, Day 2 Challenge and Day 3 Challenge

30 Day Blogging Challenge: Day 3

Day 3 Challenge is: Favorite Quote.

This is a hard one but I have a few:

You are never as good as they say and you’re never as bad as they say you are”   –Charlamagne Tha God

 

It is what it is, and it ain’t what it ain’t”      –unknown

 

Build a bridge and get over it

   –unknown

The quotes I like are typical “get over it and move on.” Growing up, my momma let me have my way and when the time came when I couldn’t have my way, like in my adult life, I didn’t known how to deal with it. I had to mold myself into dealing with the mishaps and getting over it. Never expect anything from anyone, never be surprised by someone’s actions. No one is “obligated” to give you anything. You have to work for it. If you don’t get your way, it may not have been meant to happen. It probably wasn’t in God’s plan for you, as cliche as that sounds lol.

Make sure you check out Day 1 and Day 2 challenges.

After her hubby became the First Black President in America, she she started getting involved in the community as soon as Barack was inaugurated. She started volunteering at homeless shelters and soup kitchens in 2009. She created three initiatives: one being Let’s Move movement in 2010, that helped reduce obesity in kids and strive for healthier foods in school and at home. Another initiate was the Joining Forces movement she started in 2010, that helps support services members, veterans and their families. The third initiative being the Reach Higher movement. This mission was to help young people continue their education past high school and helping them understand the importance of higher education and helping the kids with resources. 

Michelle has done more of her fair share of work as a first lady, as well as being a wife, a mother of two now teenagers and a leader throughout the world. She’s shown us that Black is Beautiful, Stay Healthy, Stay Educated, Be Determined, Focused and Hopeful; and more importantly “You don’t have to be somebody different to be important. You’re important in your own right.”
