This month the word is Purposeful. It means intentional. Having a useful purpose. I know that I am here for a purpose. Why am I here? What am I called to do? Do I make a difference? If so, how? I look at my vision and mission to check how my actions are aligned. Am I really living in my purpose? Let’s see what God says.
Dancing During the Storm is a collection of stories from projects that I have written over the years. They represent a desire to praise God despite the storms in my life. As the saying goes, you are going into a storm, in the middle of a storm or coming out of a storm. All of these stories tell of people who enjoy the life that God has given them and live it to the fullest. Each character has a storm in their life which they are going into, in the midst of, or coming out of.
The first story is about the first man to ever encounter a storm and the impact on his life.
The second story is about a court case that changed the lives of three of the women involved. A Victim. A Juror. A Judge. The impact of the trial changed their thinking, yet prepared them for all that life threw at them.
The third and fourth story is a science fiction tale of the journey of a young woman who searched for peace and quiet after spending the last two years on a planet that had to resemble hell. As she emerged from the storms of her life, she saw that things were not as easy as she thought they would be.
The fifth story is another science fiction story that showed a divided world on the brink of war and two women meet to decide the fate of all the women on the planet. This meeting determined if it would either draw everyone together or increase the divide. Would it be treason or slavery?
The sixth story two bullets changed the life of a man who had cruised through life on the back of rich parents and affluence.
Enjoy these fun, thought provoking stories, and hear the underlying intent.

I have always said, We should tell our own stories. I believe our stories are best told by us. In this new podcasts I will tell the stories of Africans and African Americans throughout history because I believe their lives still have something to say to us. Remember the adage, if you don’t know your history, you are doomed to repeat it.
Lets get to learning some history
The first story is about Annie Turnbo Malone. From parents who had been enslaved, Annie was born in Illinois and grew up to become a woman who would change life for millions of women of African descent.

Also, a part of my strategy is helping others. I believe we were created to be a part of a community. I will spend time thinking about who I can help and how. Reviewing the past and thinking towards the future helps me prepare for whatever is coming.

It is difficult to get things done by yourself. I like partnering with others As I plan what I will do, I think about with who. I have found projects have more depth if it is a collaboration. Who will I collaborate with?

Strategizing
I took the opportunity to revisit goals from five years ago. It was a good moment to see where I have been and what I have accomplished. I have had wild goals, but over the years I have honed them. Where I was once, all over the place going in different directions, I am now focused. It reminds me to stay focused.

As I revisit my mission and values, I think about which ones I am accomplishing. I will think about what is relevant and where I need to change things. I will decide if this is a mission or value I can bring to life this year. If it is, how can I do it? If it is not, perhaps save it for another time.
