Always Bet on Yourself!

Good morning Mom-preneures,

Today started early for me, 5 am to be exact. Up and at them working on a consultation summary for a potential client. One pearl of wisdom I picked up on Wednesday at the business fair is "Always Bet on Yourself'.

Moms, I must say this message was reinforcement to get on my hustle consistently and passionately. Either I can work on someone else's dream or I can work to make my own goals a full time gig. I had to ask myself, what is your decision DBC? Ten years ago, I bet on myself and launched my advocacy/educational firm. After year 5 of operation, I decided to revamp the focus and services of my educational firm. I decided that as an Educational Change Agent, I must strategically engage all stakeholders to align to my firms focus, investing in our children. Here's a link to my firm www.bibbcook.com

Currently, I work with independent schools (charter and parochial/private) supporting their teachers in providing nurturing educational communities by providing professional development, teacher mentoring and school wide behavioral interventions and supports along with special education compliance. Being that teacher support/mentoring is key to investing in a child's scholarly success, BCC has made this area of need our focus as a community partner.

Enjoy your Saturday and Always Bet on Yourself! Being Strong, Resilient and Luminous...

Yours Truly,

DBC

becoming...Pearl

Happy Day Pearl, One thing 2020 has taught me is that self-reflection is the new 'wokeness'... the master key to enjoying life. Over the last 9 months, I, like a lot of people around the world, have had quite a bit of time to sit in my home and engage in moments of, at times intense, self-reflection thanks to COVID-19. I had a lot of time to look at old pictures, read old journal entries, and continue writing on my upcoming project. But this day, I had an inspiration arrive and Pearls I am thankful for this opportunity. Self-reflection's greatest vehicle is transition. For me this time of year, August through October has always represented transition. From birthdays, the beginning of things again after some time of growth to the end of my favorite season, Summer. So here I am in this transition of seasons, work cycles, and personal growth with self-reflection as the skipper . Self-Reflection is becoming Strong , becoming Resilient , and becoming Lumi...

Keep On, Keeping On!

Hey Pearls! The day has arrived when my solo writing project is complete. It is your pathway into my circle and my village. Grace Under Pressure: A Southern Belle in the City has arrived and is ready for purchase. This labor of love took reflection, self-critique, dedication, and self-actualization. So, today, we will acknowledge how this process can result from pearl-forming activities. I took the past 22 months to write the first installment of my journey as a village keeper. Traveling down this road of reflection required a lot of soul-searching, speaking truth to those things that held mental manipulation in my life, and building my knowledge about the behaviors and psychological attributes that impact my perspective and outlook on life. Grace Under Pressure helped me build my strength as a woman because I learned a lot about myself and truly understood my pieces. Reflection and Self-critique allow one to seriously consider one's thinking, how it originated, and how on...
