YoTrip Celebrates Women You Should Know

 
March is Women’s History Month and I think it is wonderful that the world takes 31 days and makes a seat of honor for women. In so many faces, places and spaces in this world the value of women is not even considered. In some parts of the world women are treated as second class citizens or less. The beauty of a woman‘s ability to give birth and keep the planet populated is viewed as sport by some people in this world. I am happy to honor, showcase, uplift, and praise women during the month of March and every other day of the year!

 

Recently, I was invited to sit in a circle among some bright-eyed young ladies and some seasoned, successful women for a candid conversation. The conversation was lively and spirited in the exchange of ideas and advice. At one point, I became sad to hear a young girl offer that she did not know of any women in her life to call role models. I could not let it go, I had to express to the group that being a woman is beautiful, exciting and worthy of honor and these young women needed to find the value of seeing a woman role model in their homes, schools, churches and community at large. So often, young ladies are caught up in the media hype of the rich and famous. The portrayal of the celebrities as living the life, is often what the media projects to sell products and people. This stemmed a round table poll question: who do you consider a role model and why? Most of the seasoned ladies offered that their Mother, Grandmother, Aunt, or Sister were a strong inspiration in their lives. It is my hope that when the seasoned women shared about the power of having a woman to guide you in life impacted the young ladies.

 

For the remainder of March, I will use my blog sites to feature, YoTrip Asks Five Questions of “Women You Should Know”. Stay tuned…

How do you celebrate a woman who through an unselfish act changed a course of history? You posthumously honor her legacy with a “forever” United States postage stamp. On February 4, 2013, what would have been Miss Rosa Park’s 100th birthday, a larger than life rendering of the postage stamp was unveiled at the steps of the infamous segregated Montgomery, Alabama bus.  Additionally, there were ceremonies held in several cities in the great state of Michigan.

Over 60 years ago, Miss Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white passenger, as it was customary for Negros when the bus filled and seats were needed for white bus riders. Miss Rosa’s actions was central to the in the emergence of the Civil Rights Movement,

Her defiance and the ensuing black boycott of the city bus system helped the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. rise to national prominence.

“This is being done in sight of the bus where future generations can sit in a seat where Rosa Parks sat and refused to budge and in a seat where the world was changed,” U.S. Sen. Carl Levin said before he and U.S. Rep. John Conyers, a fellow Democrat, pulled the curtain to reveal the Rosa Parks Forever Stamp, which bears her 1950’s likeness. Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/new-stamp-honors-rosa-parks-courage-article-1.1256087#ixzz2K5iCjYgm

Thank you Miss Rosa Parks we have access because you were courageous enough to sit which was the ultimate way to take a stand. To help keep this legacy alive go to http://rosaparks.org/

Tuesday Thoughts by YoTrip for 1/29/13 MENTOR If You Sow, They Grow!


English: PENSACOLA, Fla. (Feb. 14, 2009) Satur...

English: PENSACOLA, Fla. (Feb. 14, 2009) Saturday Scholar mentor Information Systems Technician Seaman Aprentice Ashley Lumas, from New Orleans, listens as a West Pensacola Elementary School Saturday Scholar student reads out loud during the third weekend of mentoring for the 48th session of Saturday Scholars hosted by Center for Information Dominance Corry Station. (U.S. Navy photo by Gary Nichols/Released (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

 MENTOR-You Sow They Grow!

 

“You will be so enriched when you sow into the life of others.” ~~YoTrip

 

Do you have a few hours a week to spend with a young person? Mentoring and the difference it makes in the life of a child is highlighted each January for National Mentoring Month. When you sow into the life of a child through mentoring you open the door to opportunities and possibilities for the child.

 

Mentoring can do the following:

 

  • Help guide a child in their growth and development
  • Help a child with education and career goal
  • Help the child fill in the gaps in life

Created in 2002 by the Harvard School of Public Health and MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership, National Mentoring Month focuses national attention on the need for mentors, as well as how each of us—individuals, businesses, government agencies, schools, faith communities and nonprofits—can work together to increase the number of mentors to assure brighter futures for our young people. http://www.nationalmentoringmonth.org/

 

 

As a long time mentor, I have learned that children just want to be encouraged. When you give of your talent, your time and your treasures to a child you will see the impact of your involvement in their lives. A child that is connected with a mentor has another level of support.

 

For the last eight years I have had the pleasure of working with an emerging non-profit in Central Florida, Tomorrow Investments Matter (T.I.M. Works). The core mission of  T.I.M. Works is to help young ladies gain an increased self-awareness, learn to develop healthy relationships, understand their self-worth, gain financial savvy skills, and develop leadership skills. To learn more about about T.I.M. Works go to http://www.apinkypromise.net/ 

 

Let me challenge you to get involved and become a mentor.  The seeds you sow in a child, will be the foundation for growth in a child. Make the difference by being the difference in the life of a child.

 

~~YoTrip

 

Pause and pray for the families and friends of those who died tragically at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

Thursday Thinking by YoTrip for December 13, 2012-A Season of Memories (Vol.12, Iss.1)

A Season of Memories

Ruth Anderson, my beloved grandmother left this world for her heavenly home when I was still a young one (just eight years old). My brief time with my grandma was filled with experiences that left lasting impressions on my life. During the fall/winter months, grandma would love to take her beloved grandchildren along for one of her favorite past-times: picking pecans.

In Augusta, Georgia as the leaves found their way off the trees, the grounds would become littered with the dusty brown colored shells with black lines holding the treasured nuts known as pecans. I can still hear the rusting sound as the marriage of the leaves, pecan shells, and shoes all coming together as we walked through the orchards that seemed larger than life. Armed with our brown bags, neatly folder under our arms, we opened the bag and watched grandma for instructions on how which pecans were ready to be picked. 

My grandma was expert in finding pecans at their prime and she would feel her brown bag quickly. The pecans we picked would soon turn into the main ingredients in Pecan pies or toasted and rolled with sugar and spice for a wonderful holiday treat. 

Do you have any childhood memories of this season? Please feel free to share. It makes my heart smile to think of days and times gone by, how about you?

Thursday Thinking by YoTrip for November 22, 2012-A Word Of Thanksgiving (Vol.11, Iss.3)


Happy Thanksgiving

A WORD OF THANKSGIVING

 

Today is the National Day of Thanksgiving here in the United States. All over the country people cooked, cleaned and connected over meals that covered tables and filled empty stomachs. Gathering of family, friends and folks took place  all in the name of Thanksgiving.

I like so many was blessed to be able to travel and join my family for all the fun, food, and fellowship associated with Thanksgiving. I visited with two different family members homes and it was great just to all be together. The food was incredible: Cornish Hens, turkey, ham, dressing, turnip greens, mac n’ cheese, fried and barbaque chicken, chitterlings, string beans, mixed peas, potato salad, corn pudding, apple cobbler, carrot cake, sweet potato pie,  and red velvet cake.

We laugh and love so much, it was a joy. We watched Football games, Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (a classic) and then 25th Anniversary for Micheal Jackson‘s BAD. What a great day for offering a word of Thanksgiving. I have so much to be thankful and grateful for, I just cannot tell it all. 

I would also like to take this time to offer a word of Thanksgiving for all of the people who have supported YoTrip-Words and Thoughts/Tuesday Thoughts by YoTrip/Thursday Thinking by YoTrip as I seek to leave my footprints on the world.

Let us all continue in the spirit of Thanksgiving for this day and beyond!

Thursday Thinking by YoTrip for April 26, 2012- POET’S NEVER DIE (Vol.4, Iss.4)


National Poetry Month Display @ Forest Hills

National Poetry Month Display @ Forest Hills (Photo credit: mySAPL)

POET’S NEVER DIE

Our words are lasting like the memories in the corners of our mind

Poet’s Never Die

What we share is worthy of pause by all who encounter our talents

Poet’s Never Die

What we express goes on,lives on, moves on but more importantly stays on

The paper,  the pen, the mind of the reader, and the heart of those touched by the words

Poet’s Never Die

They just get worn, like your favorite pair of shoes, they get weary, like a fighter at his last round who feels like giving up

Poet’s Never Die

Yet what keeps us, makes us appealing for the young and old alike

Poet’s Never Die

Consider the great artist who are dangerous with their stokes of the pen

Still their stories are picked up off of the shelves or the  subject of Google searches

Poet’s Never Die

As long as there are faces, places and spaces for seeking to have them  in their lives

Poet’s Never Die

YoTrip 4/26/12

April is National Poetry Month

Let’s celebrate the beautiful of creative expression. Happy Sweet 16, Poets!For more information go to http://www.poets.org

Tuesday Thoughts by YoTrip for April 24, 2012- Miss Zora Meets Dr.Maya (Vol.4, Iss.4)


Maya Angelou, February 2011

Maya Angelou, February 2011 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

This post is in celebration of National Poetry Month during the month of April. Miss Zora Neale Hourston and Dr. Maya Angelou are two of my “sheroes” for being women who epitomize making your own way. Both Miss Zora and Dr. Maya set the pace for their contemporaries to try to keep up. A dear friend of mine Publisher,author,poet and  ”every woman”, Katandra  Shanel Jackson Taylor of  Freedom Ink Publishing http://www.freedomink365.com/  saw a picture of me at an event and inspired me to pen this post.  Here is the poetic piece, enjoy!

Miss Zora Meets Dr.Maya

Two sassy southern belle’s meet on a dusty road

Walking in purpose and  passion as they carry their load

I can almost hear them as they speak and share their stories

Shouting, jumping for joy and sharing in each others glories

“I Won’t Take Nothing For My Journey” Dr. Maya tells all

How about those “Mules and Men” back at her Miss Zora recalls

Walking along their path two women find their souls are intertwined

“Dust Tracks On The Road’ Miss Zora exclaims from deep within

“I Know Why The Cage Bird Sings” Dr.Maya  shares her life with her pen

These two writers,poets, authors, educated women equipped with their own way of thinking  and mind

Make no mistake Miss Zora and Dr.Maya can be called two strong women and truly one of a kind.

Thursday Thinking by YoTrip for April 12, 2012-IT IS POSSIBLE (Vol.4, Iss.2)


Tell Me Your Dreams

Tell Me Your Dreams (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Dreams Less Sweet

Dreams Less Sweet (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

IT IS POSSIBLE

IT IS POSSIBLE…A DISCOURSE IN BELIEF!

To dream, a dream into reality real… IT IS POSSIBLE!

          To have an attitude of determination, despite the arrows of deflation… IT IS POSSIBLE!

To have a “No Turning Back” mindset, when all roads are blocked along the way… IT IS POSSIBLE!

To ponder back into the past, be the pulse of the present, and focus on the future…IT IS POSSIBLE!

          To always stand for something and refuse to fall for anything… IT IS POSSIBLE!

          To rise above the HATERS of you, and rally around the HEROES in you… IT IS POSSIBLE!

To beat the odds, because you are better than ordinary…IT IS POSSIBLE!

To see defeat as a doorway to an opportunity to try again, if at first you don’t succeed…IT IS POSSIBLE!

To stay in the game, especially when others count you out of the game…IT IS POSSIBLE!

To recognize the best is yet to come, if we stay the course… IT IS POSSIBLE!

TO KNOW THAT ONE OF OUR GREATEST GIFTS IS TO RECOGNIZE AND ACKNOWLEDGE WHO WE ARE, AS A PEOPLE. OUR VAST AND RICH HISTORY, AS A PEOPLE IS TIED TO MANKIND’S BEGINNINGS AND EXISTENCE. KINGS AND QUEENS, RULERS AND ROYALTY, SLAVES AND SERVANTS ARE THE CALLING CARDS OF OUR PEOPLE. NOW IN THIS TIME AND PLACE WE PAUSE… TO HONOR, REMEMBER AND CELEBRATE, THOSE WHO SHOULDERS WE STAND UPON. THE FOREPARENTS OF OUR HISTORY AND HERITAGE, SO GREAT OUR STORIES TO SHARE.

OUR LEGACY BUILT ON THE BRIDGE OF LITERACY AND KNOWLEDGE, COMING TOGETHER IN CELEBRATION OF “WHERE WE WERE, WHO WE ARE, AND WHAT WE SHALL BECOME?

MAY WE NEVER STOP. “YEARNING FOR LEARNING”, FOR THE DAY THAT HAPPENS WE ARE DOOMED AND DESTINED TO DIE.

WE HAVE COME TOO FAR AND HAVE TOO FAR TO GO TO STOP NOW…

IT IS POSSIBLE…IF YOU ONLY BELIEVE

YoTrip-Words and Thoughts for Monday, December 27, 2010-HOW WAS MY AIM? (Vol.12, Iss.12)


AOL Instant Messenger

Image via Wikipedia

The year 2010 is quickly marching toward a close. Now is a great time to evaluate the past and prepare for the pending future. As we look to start 2011, I ponder the question: How was my AIM in 2010? Did I reach the goals that were set? I wished to ASPIRE personally and professionally. I sought to INSPIRE others by sharing my gifts. I hoped to MOTIVATE the masses to be their best self. There are four more days left let’s see what more we can accomplish!
 
(Re-posted from Monday, December 28, 2009)
 
Determined to define my outlook for the coming year, I have decided to take a three-pronged approach to my 2010 tag line.
 
“A.I.M. To Win in 2010“
 
AIM is defined- To intend or direct for a particular effect or purpose, to strive for a goal. 
 
When I think of AIM I am lead to focus on the target or goal that is ahead of me. I thought that AIM needed legs (words) that will constantly make me remember and focus on it. For me AIM now means to: A-Aspire, I-Inspire, M-Motivate
 
Aspire is defined-To long, aim, or seek ambitiously; be eagerly desirous, esp. for something great or of high value. To have a great ambition or ultimate goal; desire strongly.
 
In 2010, I will continue to seek to ASPIRE to higher heights in my personal and professional growth and development.
 
Inspire is defined-To fill with an animating, quickening, or exalting influence. To fill or affect with a specified feeling, thought to influence or impel.

 

In 2010, I will continue to INSPIRE by sharing my gifts with others with the hope that significance is achieved.
 
Motivate is defined-To provide with an incentive; move to action; impel.
 
In 2010, I will continue to MOTIVATE and push those in my sphere of influence to be their best self.
 
A.I.M., is a simplistic approach to a winning formula for 2010. A.I.M is personal (for me), is communal (for us), and is essential. I believe with prayer, determination, focus and a spirit of perseverance A.I.M. is possible!
 
I am interested in your feedback, please share your thoughts before 2009 expires.
 
Thanks for being you, it does make a difference!
 
“A Positive State of Mind 2009″

 

“A.I.M. To Win In 2010″
Aspire, Inspire, Motivate
