    Day 13

    A Memorable Stranger

    One day I was out with others, and we were feeding the homeless. We walked around the park we were at to let them know it was food up there and they could get some. Some were asleep and others were just laying there. This one man was on the bench and as we approached, he started talking to us about God and history. He had a book in his hand, and I just stood there and listened. He was very intelligent.

    Even in the state he was in he seemed to be happy, smart, and still sharing the word. I would never forget that moment and that stranger because no matter what situation you are in you still have to believe and know that something good is going to happen. He made me feel good and since then I told myself if I can help or do something in the community at least every 3 months than I am.

    With that being said everyone has a story and testimony, and you can never judge anyone. So that’s been my tradition to give if I can. This stranger opened my mind and heart in many ways, and he did not even know he did. His words and wisdom touched my soul.

    A Friend

    I had a friend I have known since I was 9 years old. I had the biggest crush on him. We would talk on the phone all the time. He could sing and he would sing to me all the time. We stayed friends all these years. He was a really cool dude.

    A couple years ago he passed away and it really hit me hard. All the memories, talks and just being friends for so many years. Any time I would go to my hometown I would always make sure to try to see him. I am thankful I did. You just never know when it’s your time.

    With that being said, tell your friends you love them, just pop up on them, see them if you can. Life is too short.

  • Self Made Boss Book by Jackie Reses & Lauren Weinberg

    Book: Self-Made Boss

    Author: Jackie Reses & Lauren Weinberg

    By: Cece Hymes

     

    This Book was for small businesses. It shows you what you need to do to start a small business. It talks about business plans, LLC’s, marketing and more. It had different stories of how people started their business and succeeded in life.

    This book had great tips for businesses. As I was reading, I took plenty of notes. Some things I already knew but refreshing my mind was what I needed. I love hearing people’s journeys and testimonies. It gives me the position to keep pushing and some things that stand out that I need to research that I have missed in starting my business.

    If you are thinking of starting a business or just getting started this is the right book for you.

    Q. Traffic

    This traffic in Atlanta is horrible. It’s overpopulated and you will be in traffic for hours. One day I was leaving my friend’s house and on 285 a Truck had an accident and covered all the lanes. I literally had to sit in that traffic until 7 AM. It was horrible. I was thankful I had a full tank of gas. It was cold that night. I put my car in park and I dozed off and on. I had to call off work that day for not getting any sleep. Can you Imagine being stuck in traffic for over 5 hrs.? All I can say is Atlanta traffic is horrible.

    I remember when I was maybe 8 or 9 years old, and we were in the mall in one of the stores. I saw some chocolate and I snuck it in my Jacket and ate it. My uncle asked me what I had and I was like nothing. Mannnnnn when they opened my jacket it was chocolate everywhere it had melted and smeared everywhere OMG lol. I got my butt torn up for stealing that chocolate but it was good lol.

  • Reach for the Skai book by Skai Jackson

    Book: Reach for the Skai (How to Inspire, Empower, and Clapback)

    Author: Skai Jackson

    By: Cece Hymes

     

    I picked up this book because the words on it caught my attention. I did not know who she was, but my daughter did. It was a good read about her life and her journey. I loved that her mother supported her and pushed her in the right direction, always a good thing to have a great support system. If you do not know who Skai is, she is an actress and played on the show Bunk’d and Jessie.  She created her own fashion line, and a lot of doors have opened for her.

    Skai went through a lot especially being in the social media world. Just like everyone else you have your ups and downs in life. These days becoming a celebrity and dealing with social media is hard.  She managed to clapback on some on social media but not in a bad way. Her story will encourage the youth to reach for the sky and follow their dreams.

    I wanted my daughter to read the book because I was hoping it would inspire her in a way.  It was good to read about her journey as a little girl and how she got to where she is today.
