CONSISTENCY will get you everywhere or no where

So, I've been thinking about finding the time to write a blog...WAIT WHAT? How does that work? I've been thinking about finding the time to write a blog because I've been busy doing a whole lot of thinking and a lot more of what seems like nothing. I've moved to the place where I can say that I'm DBA Ellen Gee and building The Evolution of Perspective. I've been thinking about tactics and marketing strategies and business classes and demographics and all that jazz. And I thought about it too hard and too long and got frustrated and stopped thinking about it as much. I need help and I know it. And in the process of me needing and me knowing, I've been thinking about how I need to get focused and specifically what that takes. The one thing that always comes to mind is a schedule. AN ADHERED TO SCHEDULE. If I am to build my brand and reach the reachable masses, I definitely need to adhere to a schedule. There's a part of me that feels like I won't be successful without one. I need to designate days to tackle certain tasks. That's not hard....the designation. Sticking to it is the challenge for people like me who are distracted by shiny things. And the thought I always come back to is: Both failure and success depend on consistency. OUCH!

There's a part of me who knows that people need help. There's another part of me who knows that people need change. There's an even bigger part of me who knows that people are sometimes vehemently resistant to both. I have my work cut out for me. I need to remember this on the days when I get discouraged. I need to remember this during the times when it seems like no one is listening and no one is showing up. I need to remember to do my part regardless and as long as it makes sense to continue to do so. Somebody is listening. Somebody is watching. Somebody hasn't spoken up yet. Somebody is developing. Somebody is looking for a path. I gotta keep on moving.

What leaving Facebook showed me about myself

This will probably end up being a listicle (list/article)......because energy..... What leaving Facebook for a little under 2 weeks showed me about myself: 1. I was absolutely addicted to logging in and interacting with the toxicity on FB. I aggravated anxiety, triggered myself, and could not find the strength to turn away most days. I was annoyed with people and their thoughts, their opinions, their pity parties, their expression, and just them. But I could not find the strength to turn away most days. 2. I tricked myself into believing that I could manage the addiction (because that's what addiction looks like). I unfollowed people, muted people, unfriended people, blocked people, tried to stay on my own timeline, and tried to only go to certain people's pages. INSTEAD OF LOGGING OUT AND OFF so I am admitting to myself and to other people that my life became unmanageable. 3. I only claimed I wanted to be successful. I didn't do the things I knew I needed to do to

An Honest Assessment of My Love Life

So they say we date at our self-esteem levels. It must be at the bottom of the level. I’m laughing to myself as I type this, but I’m very serious. I’ve never dated what I consider to be a high quality man. I’m not sure I’ve ever even attracted one. I ask myself do I consider myself to be a high quality woman. Parts of me say yes and parts of me say no. The parts of me that say yes are the parts that know that I can be sweet, caring, and nurturing. The parts of me that say yes know that I am smart, ambitious, and talented. Those parts don’t attract men to me though. Not closely anyway. Those parts attract my admirers. Those parts attract the men who want to partner with me to get work done. The parts of me that I don’t consider to be high quality are the parts of me that make their way to the surface and find my partners. These men are not transparent. They are not honest. They have very questionable levels of integrity. They are not growing at the same pace that I want to grow. Are th

Beyonce, Trump, and The War on Black Unity

I don't know if I can think of a woman, black woman more specifically, who is more polarizing in 2017 than Beyonce'. She announced today that she was pregnant with twins. And like clockwork, people on the far right and others on the far left took to social media to stand (either up or down) for Beyonce and her announcement. She's been called a distraction, a queen, and a lot of things in between. I joked on social media before about putting in an application for the BeyHive when she dropped Lemonade. I'm not a hater, nor am I a stan. I sit right in the middle. I enjoy listening to and dancing to her music. I enjoy watching her perform. I'd never pay to see her live. And while I think that she's arguably the greatest performer in my children's generation, I have the benefit of having lived long enough to know other great performers. It's the first day of February. It's officially Black History Month. For some of us, it's a time to celebrate ou
