Mimi's Thoughts: My Worst Anonymous Valentine....

 

 

 

Are you looking forward to spending Valentine's Day with your significant other? Before you answer that question, can you think about your worst Valentine's Day experience? Do you remember what happened during your date or with your partner that made it one of your worst experiences?

  I'm sure that I'm not the only one that has spent that day alone, has been stood up or accompanied an annoying person out just for the sake to say you went out on a date. Or maybe you were out and something crazy or unexpected happened. Did he think he was going to get some on the first night? Did your friend set you up on a blind date with his female friend and the chick was not cute? Would you have given that person a second chance or should they remain anonymous in your life? Did you have a little to much to drink and woke up disappointed that you had a one night stand?

  I've had a few bad experiences of my own....these are some of my favorite stories to tell. My first story would be the one about my rebound date which I had because I didn't want to be alone on Valentine's Day. This guy was totally consumed with himself and he kept talking about his relationship history with other women while we were eating. REALLY who cares your out with me and your suppose to keep my attention NOT loose it. Well to make a long story short we left the show and we walked along Michigan Avenue in Downtown Chicago. While we were walking he reached in for the kiss and I turned my head so fast that he was slapped by the wind... I told him OH No I'm not on that. I hopped in the cab and headed home immediately couldn't do it.

  Oh yeah...then I had a date with "The Mac" well he thought he was one because his game was WHACK. This guy decides to take me to his cousins' house to hang out and I ended up stepping into the washroom. I came out the washroom and realized that his cousins went into their bedroom and he cuts down the lights. He walks over to me and asks...Can I make Sweet Love to you Baby... I asked him was he serious and grabbed my coat. Don't get me wrong the brother was smart and successful but don't be thirsty on the first night. I also had a guy that digged in his nose on the sly and a guy that left the washroom without washing his hands and I smelled urine. What about the guy that wears his wedding ring on the wrong finger and picks you up... Remember, when you first met the guy he didn't have a ring on!

  Well those are just a few and I've shared many of my stories with friends and you probably still laugh with yours about it too. I alway enjoy listening to my guy and his crazy stories because they are hilarious. If you would like to share your worst anonymous valentine I would love to read about them. :)

Sincerely,

Mimi's Thoughts.......

Shared Article- How To Launch A Black Business Network Specific To Your Industry | by The Network Journal

I've always believed that networking is one of the best methods to meeting and learning more about other business owners. The amazing part of networking is the ability to re-create yourself and the opportunity to meet different professionals that maybe able to contribute to your brand. We all know that planning is an important aspect in business and adding some creativity to your networking event proves that you can have better results.

I've read information about networking but the key is catering to your industry...this article below is a reminder of that. I wanted to share this article with you and hopefully if you've got side tracked it will get you back on point.

N.B.S- My Reflections of 2012

This year has been an experience of extreme highs and lows. I'm sure more highs then lows considering that you made it through them if you’re able to read this. I know that some of you may not believe in a higher power or spirit-being; however it is important to recognize those that have been relevant in your life. We have to love those that have been unselfish and giving throughout our time of need and self-doubt. I appreciate the supporters that believe in my purpose for this world and who can see beyond my gifts.

 We also know of those that have not been there and we wish them the best as well. I understand that some people are meant to be around for a season and others for a lifetime. The love that you've been given is meant to be spread and hopefully we all learned something positive from those relationships. The relationships that were built through social networking, work or just in passing are all a part of our growth process. Considering that I experienced some lows such as being awakened by someone entering my window which I can now smile about. The reason why I can smile is because I made it through that situation amongst many others this year with no bumps, bruises, scars or broken limbs but with a testimony. The testimony of this year is that there is NOTHING that you can't accomplish or overcome with faith.

       My point of Reflections for 2012 is to discuss some of the awesome activities that I participated in or attended this year. Before I continue I have to thank everyone that allowed me the opportunity to blog about their industry of work on my site. I would like to start off with one of the most impactful events for me which was 'Blessed 2 Be A Blessing" toy drive hosted by PR-Vau've Davis of OfficialAnais. This event supported Felicia T. Simpson, Executive Director of "A New Me" Foundation to specifically assist single mothers at a local Chicago shelter. I was honored to be in attendance at Donna's Cafe in the Chicago loop along with many others who contributed to this drive. Everyone at this event was in great- spirit and shared the desire to give without expecting anything in return.
               The second highlight of my year was working at windycityunderground.com's "Fresh Fridays" event at Tiger O'Stylies. Windycityunderground.com used the proceeds made at the door to donate to a co-worker who mother is suffering with bone cancer. The funds were given to her that evening and her eyes were filled with tears because of the thoughtfulness behind the donation being made.

 My third highlight of the year was shooting my first vlog for my friend Manager, Kevin Earl of "Flawless Fashion Boutique" and I had so much fun. I learned how to do a little editing with the help of one of my students now a graduate. My fourth highlight was attending "The Conversation and Book Signing" for Sam Sylk's book titled " Men Do What Women Allow" at the Dating Game on 89th and Stony Island. There were so many people there sharing their opinions on love and relationships. This event was insightful and encouraged people to make better decisions in their relationships; well I hope anyway.

Although I attended other events the ones listed above were the most impactful throughout this year. They were group engaged and organized with great purpose to the community. I am grateful for my position and where I have been placed to assist those that seek my help. Not sure why I felt the need to share this but hopefully it will lift someone's spirit as to why you are still here. NEVER let anyone say that you are NOT here for a purpose. 

N.B.S wishes you peace and blessing for the New Year. I am looking forward to a more productive and community outreach filled year.

Sincerely,



Mimi

N.B.S Official Event Update

Sam Sylk presents...

MEN DO WHATWomen ALLOW

 

The Conversation & Book Signing

 

           If you're looking for a conversation starter with the ladies whether your single, married or in a complicated situation "Men Do What Women Allow" is the book for you to read. I've heard stories about doing the right things to keep your man...  what about NOT allowing a man to take advantage of you?

          I personally believe that you can nuture your relationship by communicating what you desire from your mate in the beginning of the relationship. What have you allowed in your past or present relationships, what negative or positive treatment have you accepted from your man and what lessons have you learned? I will be attending the "Men Do What Women Allow" Conversation and Book Signing on Friday, November 2nd; gathering some insight for myself from Sam's book. I encourage you to come out to this free event with a night filled of fun, laughs and drinks with special guest J.R. Bang, Bionce' Foxx & Monique Spence at The Dating Game. See you there!
