Big sis wanted to leave you with some words of encouragement as you set sail towards the future that awaits you...

It's from one of my favorite motivational speakers, Jewel Diamond

Taylor.... It's called....The ABC's of Life...enjoy!

A void negative people, places and habits.

B elieve in yourself. Distance yourself from those who belittle and discourage you.

C onsider things from every angle. Think and grow outside of the box of fear and your comfort zone.

D evelop financial intelligence and discipline. Create multiple streams of income.

E ndure the tough times. Don’t give up! Trouble don’t last always. F amily and friends are a treasure. Spend more time with those who matter.

G ood character is wealth. Be someone other people can respect and depend on.

H ealth is a precious gift. Treat your body like a temple not an amusement park. I nvest in your future, because that is where you will be the rest of your life.

J ust do what matters. Remain focused on your priorities.

K eep the main thing…THE MAIN THING! Focus, concentration and perseverance pays off.

L et go of the heavy baggage of stress, worry, shame and anger.

M anage your time, money and emotions well.

N ever lie, cheat or steal. Always be fair.

O ptimism and hope can get you through the tough times. Anything is possible with faith and action.

P ray for strength, courage and wisdom to endure, excel and enjoy your life.

Q uality produces success. How you do anything, is how you will do everything. Always do your best.

R ead and learn something new every day to increase your chances for success.

S top waiting. Procrastination is a thief! Action speaks louder than FEAR.

T ake time to create balance in your life. Don't sweat the small stuff.

U nderstand yourself in order to better understand others. Heal your emotional wounds.

V isualize your plans and goals. Your mind is a powerful magnet.

W inners keep growing and going in spite of obstacles. “Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn.�

eXcellerate your efforts. Don’t settle for the ordinary. Live and give above average.

Y ou are a child of God. Maintain your self-esteem. Never compromise or discount yourself.

Z ero in on your target goals and ideas.

GO FOR IT! The best is yet to come! .

@ BB

The Greens go with the cornbread...just take your hand and crumble the bread into the greens and voila!

I also got the Kool-aid...the ribs, potatoe salad...and yes the sweet potatoe pie!

Not just so a few folks like wotsits18 and Fredblack wouldn't feel left out I brought them a basket of ....

you guessed it...Pig Ear Sandwiches...blkdevillol
