How to Write an Eulogy

About 3 weeks ago I completed my best work to date. I did my late Grand Mother’s funeral. It was a pivotal point in my life and I enjoyed every single bit of it. When I was asked to do it, I did not know where to start. I scrabbled for a few hours because now at this point this was all that I could think about. I pulled out my note book and began to write things down that I could remember about her. I thought to myself this is an amazing opportunity to make sure that she was remembered by all the great things that she has done and to make her live forever.

Step 1- MAKE A GOAL AND BE CLEAR ON WHAT THE PURPOSE OF WHAT YOU WANT YOUR OUTCOME TO BE. 

Then I started to ask questions. I began to ask question after question about my grandma’s life. I asked her children questions, my granddad, and her closest friends to share stories about her to me. As I asked questions I wrote down EVERYTHING I was told just randomly in my notebook. Then I went thru her photo albums and looked at all of her things that she kept. I became a reporter/ investigator. I wanted to learn about her and I enjoyed EVERY bite of it.

STEP 2- Gather as much details about your love one that is possible.

After I gathered all of the details that I needed and when I mean ALL I mean ALL details. I took about 3 days gathering more and more details. I even added things to it towards the end but for the most part it was just 3 days. So I began to number all of my thoughts in order of how I would like to talk about her. I looked for a flow between the notes I had taken. And soon found it simpler to bring her story together

STEP 3- Put together your notes by numbering the stories and information that you have gathered.                                                                                                                                                            

Then I reviewed my number notes and had to decide how I wanted to deliver the message. Did I want it to be humorous, exciting, serious, conservative, or what? This was a little bit of a struggle because she was all of the above. It was for her and about her so I decide to be and delivery has best as I thought she would like it. So I chose to be exciting with a hint of humor.

Step 4- Decide on the delivery. Be mindful that some situations may not be appropriate than others. Although I believe we should be able to laugh at anything use wisdom with what you choose. If you were asked or volunteer to do this you know what would be best.

As I began to write and bring all the pieces to the puzzle together I found many common factors about her life that different people shared about her. I found that she was an EXTREMELY consistent women valued her relationships and from there I created a theme behind that. I highlighted every single consistent thing that she did and every relationship she valued. Along with many other things but you get the point.

STEP 5- Find a theme through similarities you find about your love and stick to it.

Hopefully you won’t need this information anytime soon but if you ever have the same opportunity I had to do something as remarkable as to share someone’s life story take it has an honor. It is a big responsibility and it is an amazing thing. Now if you were extremely close to your love one like me and my grandma you may find this to be VERY therapeutic. This was the HARDEST thing I ever had to prepare but in the end it was worth all the tears and pain I experienced. I feel like I did something for her that she would be proud of and I took my time and did my BEST!

Now here are a few extra tips I would recommend….

1.        Do NOT worry about time! You will take as long as needed. I am not saying be 1-5 hours but get all that you need to about your love one. I took between 12- 15 minutes,=.

2.       Remember this is totally about your love one from your perspective. Don’t worry about ruffling feathers or if you missed something

3.       PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE! I practiced more than 7-10 times in entirety. This is the painful part but get through so you can be strong when it’s show time. I even recorded myself in front of my friend.

In closing here is the end of result of the eulogy of Joyce Gray.…. Take  a listen…..

Just Because... Kyle Morgan....

By: Trillionaire Auntie.... "Just Because"

What you be believing?

"You will Be Living what your believing" ~Myron Golden~ 

When I heard this I was floored. rb3 recently attended the 4th annual BMMF celebration and the speaker Myron Golden broke this concept down!!! 

Whatever you are believing also includes what you are assuming. So most of what you believe could not be truth but because you believe it is true. 

Then he goes on and explains how we will act in a way as if what we believe is true. So in essence we create our future and will treat our present situation to shape what we believe. Even if its just an assumption, we will act as if its true. 

POWERFUL!!!! Just like if you believe someone wants no good for you, You treat the person the way that will shape that situation!!! 

Everything is energy. We read energy no matter if we realize it or not. For example, have you ever not like someone or have an unresolved issue with someone, or heard something about them and acted like nothing was wrong? And when you communicate with them you feel tension and uneasy? Have you ever felt like that? 

Now this works for good also. Lets say your assumption is everyone around you loves you and is for you. You will treat them as if. The beauty of this is, even if you are wrong the truth will reveal itself.

Woof! That's a lot to take in! Can you remember a situation that you've done that?  Oh and shout out to Myron Golden!!!!

Making Love to Everything

Make love to everything...

One of the most beautiful things that most human beings experience is the art of making love. 

It produces the very thing that makes you and I exists, Life. 

To produce life it takes two people to become attracted to one another and connect in a way the binds them in that moment. 

Think about the most memorable experience you've had with someone sexually. Were you connected in a way that was elevating. Did everything just stopped for that moment? Did you want to feel that way forever? Did you feel connected? Did you feel like the two of you were one? 

Imagine making love to your work. What would the world be like if every single one of us looked to connect with our skills, our knowledge, and our network in a way that produced life. Imagine becoming so attracted to your skill, so attracted to your craft that you stop everything for that moment. 

One of rb3's valued reads is "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill   Chapter 11  in the book is called, "The Mystery of Sex Transmutation" 

THE meaning of the word "transmute" is, in simple language, "the changing, or transferring of one element, or form of energy, into another."

Napoleon Hill breaks down the results of using the energy of sex & love for your work and craft and how it will produce amazing results. 

Here's a link with the full chapter

Make love to everything that you do... The results will be life :(:

Social Media

Social Media 

Over the past few years we have been changing as a society with Social Media. Social Media in my opinion is one of the most beautiful tools we have access to. Over the last 2 days I have connected with old friends, business partners, and old associates. 

One young lady I hadn't spoken to in over 3 years found me on linked in. She told her partner I had a daycare which led us to reconnecting. 

During the conversation not only did I find out she had my book, Markita's Lost Diary and Billionaire Brown's  The Real Silver Dollar, some how she ended up with an autographed copy!!! 

Autographed copies are very exclusive and she had one. Now this weekend we are having lunch and catching up with each other. 

This goes to show how connected we really are. We are a few clicks away from one another. Just like anything else. We can use this for our benefit or we can abuse it. We can use it for good or we can use it for drama. 

Social Media forces one to THINK BIG! I mean what else is there to do?   

NOTHING! 

Think BIG and think of all the ways you can make social media a benefit for you and your friends.

The most precious gift you can give someone is yourself; you are a gift to anyone who comes in contact with you. Taking the time to share our talents, our most precious commodity TIME, and sharing our love is remarkable.

I Committed Suicide

I committed suicide. 

Today was a day that was character building. It was a day that I will never forget. I received an unexpected call from an associate in business. You know me I am like hello what's up and she begins to ask me some personal business questions about someone she mutually does business with. She was beginning to get loud and I was also. I was calming down when I began to realize how petty I sounded forgetting totally about her. Cat fight LOL...

Then I made the right decision I believe and ended the call in a diva/professional way. I was being questioned about my business transactions and my ethics with this person. Someone who I knew was satisfied with my services. Now follow me here.

 I began to think some crazy things about him. I thought he was the cause of her rage and the cause of all that happened. I thought because I was not satisfied with his services and he knew it. I really believed he was trying to sabotage my business.... 

My BFF said, " you think all of this and you haven't even spoken to him yet. At least give him a fair chance.  I agreed with my BFF because he was  right. Give this guy a the opportunity to clear himself. Now to my astonishment when I spoke to him everything I thought was WRONG. I used my skills and I let him talk. He was satisfied with my services. He was confused by everything but he was NOT the monster I thought he was. BOOM I SHOT MY SELF...
I shot ALL my thoughts, I shot them ALL . 

 My thoughts are to serve me not for me to serve them. I use them to give me the best perspective of people... The old me I thought I was will now give EVERYONE a fair deal.... 

I have committed suicide. Here's the new me. 

In Live we Live and we Learn and in return we Learn how to Live... :-)
