dec 23rd: just say hi

Its no secret that those who are outgoing and inviting to meet and be around usually make the best salemen or women. The will to want to meet  ppl and see them happy has to drive you from your core. Keeping it in your mind is simply not good enough. It is true, that which is within you will inevitably come out.  So think light thoughts, think positive, and avoid negative ppl or situations in which you’ll do more explaining to untangle yourself  than to just tell the story.

…pausing… as I sit here, I am recalling one of my more important lessons I’ve learned this year. The power of hello. A simple hi. True story, everyone wants to be respected. Everyone. Some ppl want you to chase them to say hi, to keep their friendship, to recognize them.  Ok, ok, Ok. It is our natural instinct to want love. Whatever that looks like. Love from a stranger is a genuine hello, how are you? Maybe a compliment. Love from a friend, a hello, a how are you doing, maybe personal contact. So if this is true, how can we miss out on extending that we love, or care for one another?

In business, you and I both know that if you could just put yourself infront of a different audience you may get a different result. Maybe another sale, maybe another associate, maybe a friend. I am telling you now, if you are so cute that ppl have to crawl to get your attention, or so full of yourself that ppl below can’t reach you…I beseech you to halt with that non-sense. Make yourself open to receive communication and for relationships to expand and collaspe.

The bottom line. Absolute bottom line is I need you and you need me.

dec.13th: Full 360

Laughing. Its been awhile no since I have blogged. Yeah? Wow, nov 21st was the last date. So what have I been up to?

LIFE>

LIFE, interrupted. Constant. LIFE growing, life breathing. LIFE lived.

Some moments, I just don’t think wait, let me put that on facebook or blog about it. When smiles come I dance with laughter, when frowns come I submit to what I have to do and ask for God’s strength. Ask for his will to be done.

We’re almost at the end of the year. Wow, what a ride. 2011 has been a growing, diverse, mentally challenging, rewarding, cocooned, year for me. I have dated and it failed, I revisited and it was unsuccessful. I have tried new venues and it wasn’t the best. Relationships have failed and others built. I tried God and he has not failed. My product has matured and my focus has shifted. All in all, I’d say this one year was well earned. I accomplished a lot in my 29th year of existance by my standard. Some were pretty costly. Others were well strived. Well worth the wait.

This year I sought out what church looks like to me, as I am, where I am. What will God look like to me in this year of existance or will I continue to be one of those, ” I don’t go to church because I haven’t found a church home.” or ” you know church is not for everybody” type of ppl. Turns out I’m not either anymore. And it feels incredibly good. Incredibly good. Man, I wouldn’t say that I was invincible but I have a confidence that needs no battery charging, nor person to confirm, nor item or image to bear confidence, or allegiance for belonging. I really do feel I can run and fly.

Wait fly? I mean that I can do anything thru God which gives me strength. LOL.  Have you seen my new elaborated symbol. Here is it, its my charging elephant with an omega ring above it. This symbolized God and I. When you wear it…it symbolizes God and you. The story behind the charging elephant is that you don’t have to like me, just don’t stand in my way. Is that fair?

Hmm, what else? Oh, I’m in a relationship! smiling. I am. It requires work. listening. communicating. truth. honesty. understanding. and patience. But, I reckon every relationship requires that yes? I can’t wait to see where and how this relationship will continue to grow. It feels good. It feels good people. I feel like God is deconstructing me. Like taking away and apart the things that I always did and thought and allowing me to experience the coldness of going without them. Like deliberate reconstruction, without my permission. Does this make sense to you?

As 2011 comes to an end, i’ll be having a holiday party downtown on Dec 15th, 7-11pm. If you can, join me. Inbox me or email me khollis19@yahoo.com the party entrance fee is $10.
