Martin Luther King Holiday: I’m Sick and Tired

On Martin Luther King Holiday in 2020, I realized I’m sick and tired. I am immersed in Martin Luther King Jr.’s speeches, particularly today. In my search, I discovered this video clip and it definitely spoke to me. I’m sick and tired. I’m SICK and TIRED. The non-violent approach is absolutely radical.

I imagine a time in our world where we work together to build greater. Seemingly forcing humanity on all people. There will be a time in our world where we won’t know things such as hate, poverty, violence. Instead we’ll position ourselves together, to resolve such things. There will be a world where the very least we pledge to do will be to love our neighbor. I’m hopeful there is a significant group of people who are also imagining the same. Until then, we can independently ensure that we live according to the same principles of Martin Luther King’s #IHaveADream.

Then and only then can we …..

“…hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal:”

“… sit down together at a table of brotherhood.”

“…..be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.”

“….live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

I suppose my imagination, is indeed this same thing as a dream. I have a dream, too. Imagine being able to come together for the greater good of human beings. We could do grand things like eradicate homeless and famine with the goal of creating our world, a better place, by loving and respecting its people.

I’ll keep dreaming.

Happy Holidays and Christmas Memories from Allison Todd

Sharing some childhood Christmas memories with you on this joyous day. Mommie Dearest would always make the biggest deal of this holiday. There were Christmas decorations in every room, the tree was always grand and not a ribbon or bow untied. Although, Santa hadn’t come down the chimney yet, the gifts overflowed from under the tree and the kitchen smelled like all wonderful things. And while she prepared the final details for guests, dadE entertained. He would open the doors to his den and turn his shiny stereo all the way up. Instantly, the show began. He would sing and dance as if the four temptations had turned into one. What a performer, I remember. And I would sit with the lights twinkling and watch in excitement in my fancy red velvet dress, opaque white stockings and black patent leather shoes. Before you knew it – all things met perfection – and Mommie Dearest would sit beside me. For the 10 minutes before the 1st doorbell rang, unbeknownst to me, this would become one of my absolute favorite Christmas memories.

Then, the house would fill with tons of people friends, family and neighbors. The best memories (while my parents were still married) was when both grandmothers and both sides of our family gathered – in one house. It denotes a time in my life where I was convinced, I was a princess. And it wasn’t because of all the things but the vast amount of love, laughter and togetherness that surrounded me. Aw… I tear up remembering my dad tend to both grandmothers like they were queens, rest in paradise. Mommie Dearest poured her heart in to this experience. I later learned that to be one of her greatest expressions of love. My aunts, uncles and cousins … the neighbors …their co-workers – laughing, dancing, drinking and celebrating. Love, such a commodity. It is one so greatly ignored and sometimes taken for the granted. Love, seemingly invisible, is indeed to glue to all these beautiful, picturesque memories.

I write this on the heels of my annual homesick regimen – pictures and memories are not all that is left now but they are indeed what’s left of those completely blissful times with all my family gathered and together. Oh, dear children! It’s those times when we had not a care in the world, no real responsibility and no idea of the challenges of the world. It is indeed the grace of the world through a child’s eyes. Those Christmas celebrations would go on to the wee hours of the night. All the kids would fall asleep well before the parents were done partying. And the next day we would do it all over again at another relatives’ home. While this was a time in life when I had yet to discover the wealth of gratitude, the value of traditions or the unique blessings of family – I knew enough to know that it was a gift that would continue giving for a lifetime. And here I am filled with joy decades later in the reflection of Christmas memories.  

And all of this was beautifully motivated when I stumbled on this YouTube playlist while searching for the perfect songs to play as family gathers today. While there are sprinklings of 2020, it will take you all they way back to your favorite memories. This one had to have been secretly recorded during this exact Christmas memory. Each and every one of these songs will put you back into my childhood home –Black Jack, Missouri. Today, I share with you from Atlanta, Georgia creating new family memories in a new era where my children are adults. I am joyfully giving thanks for the memories that made me who I am today. Thankful for every family and friend that can share in this memory with me. And for every new friend and family member that continues to create the picturesque moments that last in our hearts forever. Life, never perfect, is uniquely designed with love in mind. Merry Christmas to each and everyone of you and your families. Spread this gift of love and be open to what was and what can be. These my friends are happy tears for a life …well lived with love.   

This year I’ve put together a small photo gallery of a million memories to share with you and you and you. It has photos of both of my paternal and maternal grandmothers, my parents while still married(to each other), a few photos from my childhood and the twins. As you browse, you will note how mom’s love of Christmas and experience lasted long past my childhood well in to the twins childhood. And dadE’s love of entertaining, has officially become my Christmas duty. Headed to hangout with family and friends now. And so glad I took the time to create, complete and share.

xoxo,

Allison

Finding Your Purpose In Your Connections

The road to success does not have to be achieved alone. As a matter of fact, look around, you are not alone. And if you are, that can be changed with purposeful connections. Finding your purpose in your connections has high ROI. Unlike the classic networking routine, genuine connections has more depth. A genuine connection requires time, mutual interest, engaged interactions and trust. It takes a personal investment to build relationships, thus everyone is not willing to do so.

How do you attract the right people to your circle?

How can you genuinely connect with others to identify the bigger purpose and grow?

I mean, after all, it takes one right conversation with the right person to make great things happen. And who doesn’t want to make great things happen? Here are some tips to get you and the one of to a winning start to finding purpose in your connections:

  1. Offer the arm of kindness to everyone you meet. People will respond with the same (not all but most). This creates a mutual starting point of safety and respect. People are more prone to openness when they feel safe to share. The next time you meet or interact with anyone– online or in person– consider programming your mindset as if you’ll be meeting with a friend and see the difference.
  2. See the goodness in everyone you meet. Learn from them, right or wrong, there is always something to learn. And when you learn, you grow. When you open yourself up to others, it is easy to see your purpose in your connections. Remember, compassion is the core of empathy, and there’s nothing more moving than giving someone or yourself a generous dose of optimism.
  3. Walk the talk. To build genuine connections, you must first be true to yourself. You cannot demand something you are not willing to give. Simply put you can not receive sincerity and truthfulness from others when you do not embody the same. Let your positive mindset be an infectious motivation for others. When you do, it is also easy to attract the same level of optimism to truly build deeper (no-nonsense) connections.
  4. Always strive to listen for understanding, instead of listening with the intent to reply. When you increase your listening skills, your level of understanding equally increases. Accepting people for who they are becomes habit. It is a fact that no matter how purposeful your connections are, you will not have everything in common. It’s human nature to differ in opinion. The idea is to bind such a connection with respect and empathy to ensure the same level of camaraderie even during adversity.
  5. Learn to listen proactively. Understand carefully what the other says by asking questions and clarifying things which you find vague or dubious. This requires sharpening your communication skills by using your sense of hearing and all other senses. This is even more true today when technology and the Internet world can sometimes do more harm than good in building connections.

Without a doubt, building genuine connections uncovers a ton about you and others. Connecting more with others allows you to connect more with self, thus discovering more about your purpose. Connecting with others is essential to human existence as no one is meant to walk this journey alone. The idea, however, is to connect with the right ones and be able to create lasting and fruitful results.
