It was gratitude that God sent me an amazing gift -the friendship of Sunny who is always with a smile on her beautiful face. She is just like the sunshine; always lifts my heart.
Sunny shared many guavas, cabbages, and plants today; so thankful and grateful!
I stand before you today with a mixture of
emotions—sadness for the recent loss of a
beloved friend and gratitude for the three
decades of cherished memories we shared.
My godmother, Lee Trevor; not only lifted
my life but
became a beacon of
warmth, love, and wisdom.
RIP Lee, your smile and love will forever etched in my heart!
Honor a beloved friend who passed away at end Oct. 2023
A beacon of love

"Life is a song - sing it. Life is a game - play it. Life is a challenge - meet it. Life is a dream - realize it. Life is a sacrifice - offer it. Life is love - enjoy."

"We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from life."
"For the great doesn't happen through impulse alone, and is a succession of little things that are brought together."
"Perfection is not attainable. But if we chase perfection we can catch excellence."
"You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need."
"Believe you can and you're halfway there."

"When I hear somebody sigh, 'Life is hard,' I am always tempted to ask, 'Compared to what?'"
Maya Angelou was the source of a lot of wisdom over the course of her amazing life and career, exemplified by one of her most famous quotes: I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
Persuasive influence is like when you try really hard to get someone to agree with you or do something you want. It's super important in talking with others. Imagine you have a cool idea, and you want your friends to think it's great too. That's using persuasive influence!
Even if you're not a salesperson or someone who sells things, did you know that about 40% of the time we talk, we're trying to make others agree with us? That's a lot! It's not just about selling stuff, though. It's about getting your ideas across, like when you want to watch a certain movie with your friends. Persuasion helps us make decisions together.
Here's a cool thing to remember: When you talk to people, they care more about how something benefits them rather than just what you're offering. So, if you want your friend to play a game with you, instead of saying 'I want to play this game,' you can say 'Let's play this game and have so much fun together!' That makes them more interested.
Hey, guess what? There's a meeting coming up where we'll talk about how to be really good at this. We'll have awesome questions to practice persuading others. Want to join? It's going to be fun!"
"Key takeaway: People wouldn't care about what you can provide, but they do care about what they can get."
