IT IS NOT FAILURE WHICH CAUSES DISAPPOINTMENT RATHER EXPECTATION OF SUCCESS IS DISAPPOINTING
It is often heard that despite their efforts people are not getting the desired result. There are many people in the world who work hard from day to night for nominal money with no prestige. Since the daily life of each individual depends upon the earnings from the work they do, they keep moving forward with the hope that one day they will get the desired result for their work.

From Block Life To Stock Life
"To know the game Koli, you have to play it" Thats the famous words of my close friend and big brother James Day. I remember in September of 1999 we both showed up at Heritage High School in the middle of Spanish Harlem, in Manhattan, New York. I remember him being young, ambitious, and full of life. The most talented thing he had was his listening skills. Whether he was listening to a conversation or listening to a song, he was able to immediately process the information and explain it almost instantly. That was amazing and I learned alot from him

Small Town Book
Behind the curtain of the stage Alice trembled with nervousness. You’d think by the ripe age of 29 she’d have conquered her fear of public speaking. “Courage is not the absence of fear. It is being afraid but still going after your dreams anyways. And you’ve always been the brave one,” The words rang in Alice’s ears and her mother’s voice was clear as the day. They’d both, along with her Dad and her mentor, been flown to Baltimore for this event. The event Alice had worked so hard for over the last ten years. Every minute spent from her precious family, every obstacle, every sleepless night, and all the vigorous work poured into all those years has led up to this moment.

The Utility of Making Lists
A key productivity hack that really works wonders in our fast-paced, modern era, which involves both discipline and consistency is to make a list. It is also an excellent habit to build upon and one that only requires your laptop and a ‘notes’ application or just a simple pen and piece of paper. Lists have a reputation of being tedious and time-consuming, but what is actually more time consuming is spending minutes or even hours trying to remind yourself what tasks or items you actually have to do.

The little black book
It was Sunday in Townsville, in Far North Queensland... They say its beautiful here one day and perfect the next. The heat and combined humidity in February and March can be murder. People tend to spend a lot of time in aircon malls or at our waterfront precinct referred to as the strand. Spanning 2.2 km's of waterfront it is dotted with bbq areas and benches and picnic tables. Some of the eating areas are surrounded by gardens and this is where I first saw the little black book hiding under a bush....

What it 'do?
Black women are different. Black women are unique, and we black women are particular! Especially particular about our hair. I had the same stylist from elementary school to high school graduation. I ONLY got a new one as an adult because the one I had moved from the shop up the street from my parents house. My next stylist came as a recommendation from a close coworker of mine at the time. She ended up being really good, so I continued to go back. She was my hair stylist for about 5 years. She stopped doing hair. That really sucked. As I said, we black women are particular about our hair which means we are particular about the stylist! Since I had lost my last two stylists, I had no one to do my hair. I learned how to do some stuff myself. I was my own "stylist" for a long time. Social media came through and changed the game. Social media gave us instant access to people. I could find a stylist, look at pictures of her work, read reviews AND book an appointment in the same damn place and the same damn time! That's how I saw Cynell. Ms Cynell Robertson. She is the sister in law of a person I went to school with. Our virtual friendship was completely by chance. She is a mother. She is a business owner. She is a hair stylist. Hair and Nellz is her own creation. She owns it. She runs it. She has a big personality and an even bigger smile, a positive attitude and confidence in her voice. She has a cozy salon that always makes you feel right at home. You thirsty? She got you. Music to ease your mind, reading materials or just good conversation? She got you! She has been doing hair since the age of fifteen. She is now a thirty-eight year old mother of four. She once worked in a local hospital and just did hair on the weekends. Hair has always been a part of her life. But, upon losing that job, she took that as a sign to pursue hair full time. That is how Hair and Nellz was born. As moms, we are more than willing to do whatever it takes for our children, and baby? That is what sis did. I would go to the end of the earth and back for mine...ok?

Manifesting Wealth
A techno-themed tone with vibration awakens her from a peaceful sleep. Incrementally, the sound and vibration increase to a loud noise that warrants movement. It’s 530am on a dreary Saturday morning in the Winter. She reaches for her cell phone to slide the indicator to “Dismiss” in order to quiet the noise.
