Spelmanite of Excellence

Yesterday I squeezed some extra tasks into my agenda ,but that usually happens when I go out of town.I started Spelman College last year and this now will be my second semester and my major is English you are probably like why not a Business Major? Well I am already in businesss. I have been studying business and tactics for over ten years now.English will help me grow as a person and a Business woman. Life is amazing and time flies when you are having fun. Yesterday I had some things I had to handle on campus before the fall semester starts.I decided to challenge myself and take a computer graphics class. It should be very interesting.Here I am a person who never enjoyed interaction with a computer to creating websites, blogs,and now this computer class.I will now learn how to design my own fliers , marketing materials,and most of all labels for my product line.It is easy to hire someone to do things for you but there is nothing like knowing how to operate a main vessel of your company.Fro example Mr.Tyler Perry...it really is funny to me how people see only what is in front of them .Tyler Perry was homeless doing shows and wearing all the hats.He was the Make-up Artist,Ticket booth person,Director,Writer,and Actor.i am reading the book "The New Earth" and as the author explained "when people work so diligently whereas they are able to perform tasks that are out of their duty description ,are said to be working in a very spiritual state of mind"Tyler Perry,Oprah,Cathy Huges,myself Nekesa J Smith,and others are visionaires who walk in faith everyday.Tyler Perry is worldwide,but it took him believing wholeheartedly in his vision.I am so sure some people thought he was crazy.That is the part that amazes me that people see that you are doing something extraordinary,your heart is truly exposed until you go big then they comment on they always knew,can I have a job etc ,etc.God ha given us the strength to do anything we put our minds to.My thing is support new visionaries in their early stage.Who knows you might get inspired to create your own lane of greatness.Until again Look Beatiful,Feel Beautiful,Smell Beautiful with Nekesa' Natural Radiance

Executive Decisions

Today Tuesday July 15 ,2008. Have you ever had to make a major decision that you are torn between but your first mind has pretty much ........kicked in. Well that is my dilemma today .My agenda for this weekend is crazy. Saturday, July 19 I am expected at a pampering party for for an organization in Atlanta.Then I am do in North Carolina to an event called Escape2Sisterhood retreat.I already had everything planned.My assistant Natasher and I would go to the retreat in North Carolina. Two of my best clients Zipporah Taylor and Maxine Brown would work the pampering party in Atlanta.They have been trained already and they have worked a show before so it would be a breeze for them.The last appointment is my children's golf sign up.Now any of you who have children know that when it comes to their education or enrichment activities it is always , always a waiting list ,lines ,etc.I figured that my father could go Saturday morning July 19 and bring the registration form and they would be ready for phase two of the golf lessons.Monday morning I received the email that the actual guardian would have to sign the children in.They stressed NO RELATIVES, FRIENDS, etc.I was floored ..What will I do.My first mind is always serves me right and everyone knows that my Mom duties first. My children come first so the Executive decision ha been made.I will have to cancel The engagement in NC. What I will Have ti do is end the products through the mail with literature and marketing materials. I usually do not like to cancel but things happen and that is the reason I work for myself, and I loving it! My super perk of the day is that Terri is getting her hair done today...You know Terri is one of my supermon friends handling business.She owns www.StilettaBoutique.com Every time she comes she has fabulous footwear for me so Good!!!!Everyone knows that I love , love , love shoes.
