Refections #1: Find your Purpose and Live a Happy Life.....

From time to time, I tend to reflect. Reflect on life and all the blessings it has offered me..........

Upon this reflection, I pay homage to those who help shaped and paved the way for me to find this place of contentment and happinesss. These individuals were family members, friends, childhood teachers, et al. Particularly in my life, the strong influencers were my grandmother and mother…Two ladies of true distinction and class!! Also, many of their friends as well....my elders as one may call them. Listening to elders and learning from their life experiences I found was the secret to finding your place of being and happiness. Because it is through the experiences and lessons learned by way of your elders in which you can leverage to help navigate your own vessel in life. Each of their teachings and conversations, though I found strange or uninteresting at that time, offered an essential clue to establishing my place of being. A frequent topic in my family with my mother and grandmother in the kitchen, around the dinner table, at family gatherings, on the porch (in HOT SAV-GA, HILTHEAD, SC, and HOT ATL) and conversation in general.....was the topic of living a happy life. I did not fully "get the lesson" as a kid but now as an adult in the busy life that we all tend to lead, I realize we forget the simple things and the enjoyment of what it really means to be happy! Happiness is not found in a job title, salary, notoriety, car, or home....instead it is found in you...your state of mind and how you view life....while trying to live it with a purpose!

My Grandmother put it best....."Baby!!! Do what you love to do, do it better than anyone else...and all the REST will follow!"

What she was saying was.....find in life your purpose and enjoy doing it...and all other external things (i.e. the money, car, and various materialistic things) will follow....if that is what you are seeking in life! My grandmother or mother is no longer here with me...but their teachings and learned experiences are! I feel their presence and live by both of ther words daily.

R.I.P.....Annie Bell and Lucille.

Happy 4th of July!! A BLOG is Born!!!

Today Marks the Birth of our Nation and this Blog Site!




Welcome, to all who may subscribe and/or visit this blog site! It is my first blog site and I am excited about journalizing life in the eyes, as I see it. My name is Donne B. Good. I reside in the Nation's Captiol. Friends know me to be wild-fun-crazy, but sincere; debonair and flirtatous but with class; soft-spoken but real... when I have to be!! This site will contain interesting post that chronicalizes (if there is such a word..lol) my life and just everyday, ordinary occurences. You would be surprise if you could just take the time out of your busy day to just....."Stop, Look, or Listen!!" Life opens so many doors to opportunities, beauty, happiness, sadness, bleeps, bloops, and blunders! Within this blog site and postings I will capture these occurences seen and/or heard with the curious mind.

See the world and life objectively......sometimes scary, oftentimes hilarious if you don't always take it serious!! We as people sometimes do not realize one of the greatest gifts "Life and appreciation" for the many occurences of life. I live in the Nations capital....and sometimes see some of the most provactive and sometimes outrageous things. Come for a ride with me on this journey!!

With that being said.......here is an..... interesting email that I thought I would share as one of my first post:

I am very sorry for you (My Name), is a pity that this is how your life isgoing to end as soon as you don't comply. As you can see there is no needof introducing myself to you because I don't have any business with you,my duty as I am mailing you now is just to KILL you and I have to do itas I have already been paid for that.WARNING: DO NOT THINK OF CONTACTING THE POLICE OR EVEN TELLING ANYONEBECAUSE I WILL KNOW.

GOOD LUCK AS I AWAIT YOUR CALL AT 585-991-3301 OR 585-237-3346.

Now, I could of done one of two things......become frantic, call the police and fear my life for whatever extended amount of time/days. Or, simply,blow it off as a hoax and delete the email.

Frankly speaking, I was a little disturbed by this email. It caught me off guard, especially since I had the day off and am looking forward to enjoying the holiday weekend. But when I truly thought about it, I realized that someone has too much time on their hands. Besides, I kept thinking to myself that this had to be a hoax/scam....because who in the "HELL" would want to pay someone to kill my broke azz!!? LOL!! I know some of you out there may have taken this a lot more serious than I did. Live your life because, when it's your time, it's your time! You can't be afraid in Life and hide in fear.

What would you have done?? Would you have taken this serious?
