Clap For Your Damn Self!!
That's the lesson every child should be taught as soon as they're big enough to do so. Yep...My youngest is 7 months and she be clappin'!! It builds confidence and strength when it comes to dealing with other people.
My son got in the car chanting his name Moana style and so the appropriate response is "You're So Awesome!" I was completely excited just because he was so excited. We chanted together twice before I said OK WHY!?
Laughing, he told me he earned Super Star Student Of The Week!!! Now I got loud for real "GO YOU! GO YOU! AAAAHH!! YOU'RE SO AWESOME!!"
Wait! Okay Why!?
His teacher and classmates felt that he was the most responsible student in class and for that he is a star. At that point my Mommy thoughts went left...I wish he was that damn responsible about cleaning his room and doing chores!! But of course, I smiled big and said "That's Great Baby!" He was given a bumper sticker and we put it on my car. Very proud Mom!
I love when my children shine because it reminds me that I too need to continue to shine. As the quote goes, "And as we let our own light shine, we subconsciously give other people permission to do the same." Most of the time, those people are children.
About a week ago I saw that my good friend Tatiauna was writing a regular column for a news site. I thought it was great so I asked her for the details and if they had any more positions available. Turns out they did and I am now a featured writer for Newzbreaker!!

I am thankful and so excited!! My column is called the Neighborhood Watch. It's a commentary on (strange) people and watching the craziness of this world. There are current events, book reviews and music as well. Check it out!
So far everyone really enjoys my writing but I am well aware you can't share every good thing with everyone. There are those that called to congratulate me or they text with fiftyleven exclamation points and 70 emojis and shared my articles as many times as they could.
You're Awesome! Thank You!!
Then there are those that couldn't match my vibe for 2 seconds. Pay attention to the ones that dont clap for you. People like that are always interesting...they will flip it and talk about themselves and in doing so quickly reveal their negative perspective of their life. They cant be too excited because they would rather me be stuck to just work, pay bills and die right along with them. Not Gonna Happen!! I have 3 awesome children to raise. My shine effects their shine.
Children are not the end of the world and killers of dreams, they are more reason to go for your dreams. Do your best at everything and remember to clap for your damn self...And LOUD!! Don't ever be afraid to shine, someone is always watching...waiting for permission to shine too.
