plan – Notes by La'Rue

Speak less

For awhile now, I’ve been juggling with the idea of starting a podcast. The moniker and content will be the same, but done with a minor twist. Occasionally, I’ll peruse the internet comparing and pricing the equipment, only to do just that, and nothing more. As a promise I made to myself, I’m not goingContinue reading “Speak less”

Modified Plans

I’ve always been the overambitious one, but even I know when I’ve bitten off a little more than I could chew. I can’t begin to think of all the times I’ve had a laundry list of things I’ve wanted to achieve, and the short time in which I expected to do it all by, onlyContinue reading “Modified Plans”

Start planning

As we prepare to close out yet another year, and gear up for the new one, what are some things you’re waiting January 01 first to do? Are you waiting to go back to school? Get out of debt? Start traveling? Lose weight? Start a new business? If your answer is yes, why? Why areContinue reading “Start planning”

Where are we going?

It’s normal when you are going through tumultuous times, for you to have feelings of frustration, anger, and resentment. It’s normal that you have mood swings, an unpleasant attitude towards your situation and life, and it’s perfectly normal that you question God, “Why?” I know a lot of people take issue with questioning God, beingContinue reading “Where are we going?”

Stop the bleeding

I love what I do, but I also love when I’m not doing it. Writing books is a tedious and long process, that requires a lot of work, and almost all of your time. For the most part, I have a schedule of the days and allotted time I give myself to write. Once I’mContinue reading “Stop the bleeding”

Change of plans

Have you ever wanted to do something, but when the time came, you had a complete change of plans? When I was in Undergraduate school, my career plans were to be an Attorney, so I majored in Political Science. Although I am not “into” politics, I wanted to be a Prosecutor, so I could putContinue reading “Change of plans”

Yes, you can

You don’t have the resources to start a business, so you don’t move forward. You want to go back to school, but you’re not sure where to start, so you just quit. You want to buy a house, but your credit is low and you don’t have the down payment. There are so many thingsContinue reading “Yes, you can”

A different agenda

For two years, I practically begged this well-known Editor, to allow me to not only write a post for her column, but to become a permanent staff writer on the team. I’d given her samples of my work (my best work at that) and still, no response. I know one would think, after a fewContinue reading “A different agenda”

While you wait

You had a vision, then you wrote it and now you’re waiting to watch it unfold. Because you’re afraid it’s going to pass you by, you sit and do absolutely nothing. First, what’s yours is not going to miss you or pass you by. Second, the time you’re spending doing nothing, should be used toContinue reading “While you wait”
