Leadership Lane

Who is that guy squeezed in between Maya and Nipsy?

Wow, to be listed among many of my own heroes is beyond an honor.
Thank you @missleatrice for this awesome acknowledgement.

The Girl Who Carried Too Much Stuff.
Great night for the Rhythm & Rhyme team as the rhythm part of the squad, Tevin White performed (among other jams) the theme song he composed for my book The Girl Who Carried Too Much Stuff at his gig in Charlottesville.

Dad is Acting Strange is about the ever-evolving changes that take place within the relationships between parents and maturing children, in this case, the bond between a father and his daughter who is approaching her “strange” pre-teen and teenage years.
This book is influenced by the real-life relationship moments I’ve experienced with my own daughter.

I’m very happy to be an upcoming guest on The Read with Carylee Show on Saturday, February 1st, at 11:00am. The show will be filmed at Jirani Coffeehouse in Manassas, Virginia.
The Read with Carylee is a Youtube show, dedicated to bringing “the love of literature to children and give a peek behind the scenes, by allowing them to meet the authors.” I’ll see you there!

It’s that time of year. As the days grow shorter and darker, our moods can become darker as well. Make sure you get out and bask in any sliver of sunlight we get.

Self-awareness Self-awareness is about being able

Self-awareness
Self-awareness is about being able to pay attention to what’s going on inside you. Being aware of the thoughts and feelings that cause us to make the decisions that directly affect our daily lives.
The only things in life we can completely control are our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Self-awareness is the root of conscious living and is the key component to living intentionally. When we live more intentionally we experience: - more happiness - less inner conflict - more self-control
- more tolerance for others

Self-aware folks: - take responsibility for their actions - they don’t take things personally - they live by what’s important to them
- they know that their opinion of themselves is more important than anyone else’s opinion of them

So, how self-aware are you?

Tickle Me Tuesday - Corny Book Jokes I’ve Heard

1. I’m reading a book about antigravity. It’s impossible to put down.
2. Why does the ghost always need more books? She goes through them too quickly.
3. Want to hear a joke about a piece of paper? Never mind...it’s “tearable.”
Just like these jokes! Hahaha...Happy Tuesday y’all!

Keepin’ it diverse. “A lack of diversity fails to expand a child’s love of reading or sense of self.” ~ Andrea Davis Pinkney

When children can’t find themselves in children’s books, that’s a problem.
I’m doing my part to solve it!

Parents, it’s up to us to have an impact on how our children view themselves and the world around them. Gift them a diverse book.
