Weekly blog - Visionaries, Leadership & saying goodbye to colleagues. Booked tickets to see Beres Hammond

Over this past week, I've being doing a lot of reflection because I went for a leadership course. My professional body held one for managers and because at some point I aspire to be one, I thought I would go along to see what it was all about.

It was excellent. We had two very good speakers and I left not only motivated but also equipped with tools that would help me. So my takeaways or understanding on a personal level was having a vision was very important. Well I'm the here and now person, especially over the last few years when circumstances were difficult and I was unable to think long term. It was more getting out of a situation.



However, when I reflected on this course, I realised we have visions. We are all VISIONARIES. Maybe not on a Steve Jobs level but we all think long term. Why? Because we all ASPIRE. We have ASPIRATIONS.  From those aspirations come our visions. So I was happy in that thought. Yours may be different. But sometimes it's very overwhelming to think in Visionary in terms. Even knowing what you want. However we as humans are aspirations.

This was where the crutch of the matter came for me. We all have different but familar aspirations. What motivates us are all different. So I'm not really motivated by money but security. It's not a bad thing but it does means I'm likely to stay in a bad situation longer until it really becomes bad. Truly bad.

I also aspire to be a writer. So I spend a lot of money on courses, workshops, then a lot of time writing. My main aspiration is writing. I also like to shop in nice places. So I shop in Waitrose mostly.  I also like nice shoes and bags. Note not clothes...but leather goods. So I have a range of designers shoes and bags. Put it this way most of my bags and shoes come with cotton bags.

This is where my motivation is. Writing. As for career, I'll do what I can to provide myself a better life style but it's not main aspiration for now.

Said Goodbye to Colleague.

One of my favourite colleagues has found an awesome job closer to home so it was his leaving do. We had cake, and went to pub after work.  It was a really trendy pub called the Hemmingway in Hackney. On Victoria Road.




They played opera music in the toilets. They also had quite a few stuffed animals around.

Having lunch with former colleagues


I also caught up with my former colleagues. It was awesome place to work, with premises in the city. When we met up, I realised how much I missed them and the surroundings. The only different in my new job is more money and I deal with a larger budget. But my former work place was lush. Gosh, it was even used on a TV show. That swanky. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

So everyone is doing so well, and looking forward to new and different adventures in life.  Our then little intern who is a massive Beehive, yes, Beyonce Fan, has blossomed under the guidance of my former colleague to an awesome, confident and sophisticated professional. So, yeah, I was so excited to see them! And she did go to the Beyonce concert which she said was awesome. Well she is a beehive!

Hair Dresser and the beehives.

I went to see my hairdresser early, and they were talking about Beres Hammond coming to the UK. So I’ve booked tickets to see him and will be updating my blog on that. You know I saw Ghostface Killah and Busta Rhymes. Apparently Busta must have got better after I left.

Anyway before I digress off point,  I also booked Beres Hammond tickets for my mother and sister too. So it should be good. Some of stylists had also gone to see Beyonce. Yes, the world is full of Beehives. They also said it was awesome.




So yes, that was pretty much my week.

My African American & Black Love Romance Adventure Nearly Ready After Four Years.

Thanks for dropping by and taking the time to read this. This post is going to be about my upcoming black love and African American contemporary romance release, which I think tentatively will be late this year or early 2024. It will be a six-part serialised novel, and I'll reveal the date nearer the time. It has been five years since my last black love romance novel. I have two novellas published on Amazon, and I'm  pleased to finally say, I'm about to publish again. It's been a long time.  I planned to release this book in February 2019, but after a long writer's block and other things, it had taken me this long to complete it.  If you follow this blog on and off, I've spoken about it a lot over the years. I'm thinking maybe I should relabel those blog posts as a series of how it developed.  The Story Description The names have changed well from Angelica to Pippa but it's fine.  Everyone wants someone special but PIPPA MILLER thinks not her.

On holiday And Vacation in Alcudia,Mallorca

I'm on a holiday break in Mallorca, Spain. So this means a I won't be writing the prompt. On holiday, I normally have a break from  the internet though it's difficult nowadays with free WiFi. The hotel is okay. A four star on the lower end of the scale - this means no kettle and renting the safe.   The higher end have more add ons. The room are tiny but functional and nice however in fairness it is a beach holiday destination so I doubt there is much lounging around. Food is okay. Superb beach. Everyone seems laid back and relaxed.

Finally I'm getting close to a release date for my urban Black Love African America Romance now Pippa & Leyton

I'm working on a pre-release campaign and it isn't going how I'd like it. However if you have being reading me on and off, you'll know I've been writing some novels-in-progress for the longest times!  I stopped writing about it because it just got EMBARRASSING especially when I planned to release this book in 2019. Yes, five years ago! But it's nearly there.  Leyton & Pippa The heroine started off being called Angelica but I kept on misspelling it so I changed it to Pippa. If you look under the label Angelica & Leyton a lot will come up.  Anyway I'm exciting to say, I'm getting reading for publication soon.  Its going to be a six-part serialised instalment, and I'll have details nearer the time.  Maybe A Six Months Countdown I'm planning between three to six months, however when the details are clear, I'll write a post. I'm also doing an extended blog posts on another blog but I'll keep it short and simple here.
