Wendy GladneySeptember 18, 2024

I enjoy the various seasons throughout the year and I like them for different reasons. We are about to embark on Fall also known as Autumn, which symbolizes change. Fall can mean many things to different people, but it represents harvest time where we reap the rewards from the hard work, we put in the seasons prior. It also represents maturity. Those of us who are in the “fall” season of our lives have gone through many lessons to reach maturity and hopefully acquired some wisdom along the way. Part of that wisdom is learning when to let some things

Do You Know a Shooting Star?

Wendy GladneySeptember 11, 2024

There is a children’s song about friendship that shares the importance of making new friends but keeping the old for some are silver and others are gold. What is interesting about these lyrics is that we must value those who come into our lives and remember they are valuable, but some hold a special place in our hearts and lives forever.

The Unfinished Promise of America Top of Form

Wendy GladneySeptember 4, 2024

There are a lot of unfinished or unfulfilled promises we experience during our lifetime, but one promise we all hope to achieve is that America will live up to the hopes and dreams of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence for all mankind. Although this country belonged to the Native Americans before anyone ever crossed the ocean to so call discover it, immigrants have been coming here for generations hoping for a better life for themselves and their families.

People of mixed heritage have been part of the fabric of America since the beginning. Ironically, some white people feel superior to people of color but have no problem sleeping with them, therefore the birth of mixed races.

Black Business Month Top of Form

Wendy GladneyAugust 15, 2024

I have been a small Black woman-owned business for close to three decades and I can tell you it is not easy. Although I have worked in various markets, I have always felt the sting of being judged because of my gender and the color of my skin whenever I was competing in the mainstream arena. I felt the need to under promise and always over deliver to just be considered. However, my community has always embraced me and provided me with the guidance and support that I needed to grow and expand over the years to be successful,

This past week was a real challenge for me. My husband has a condominium on the outskirts of Chicago that we do not get back to check on often. However, due to some damage that it had sustained from a fire and a flood, on two different occasions in his building, it was time for us to go and assess the situation to see what needed to be done.

Are You Prime?

Wendy GladneyJuly 10, 2024

I recently read a book that talked a lot about the importance of being prime. When I think of the word prime, the first thing that comes to my mind is Amazon Prime and how as a member you get free shipping and even access to Prime cable television. I also think about the athlete and coach Deion Sanders because his nickname is Prime Time. What both have in common is they are consider among the best in their field.

Independence Day is Still Dependent Upon Us Becoming United

July 3, 2024

The fourth of July is the day we celebrate the United States of America’s independence and establishing it as a country free from tyranny and foreign rule. The original 13 colonies would now be free from British control. Ironically, our country may be free from foreign rule, but are we influenced by powers that cause an internal rift creating a great divide. We as a country are yet to be truly a united country. Even though we are no longer ruled by a foreign power, if we are not careful, America could be headed towards external influences that could be

When was the last time you stopped to think about what you truly wanted out of life? Most of us say we want our lives to matter and that we want to make a difference in the world, but we also get caught up in the trap of wanting to achieve a certain level of success.

It is no secret that we are living in hostile times. All we have to do is look at what is happening all over the world.
