Happy National 🏡Home🏠 Organization Day!
What a way to place that need for order as we ring in the New Year !
Let’s welcome ☼everyday☼ with
I live by these planning approaches:
Fail to plan, plan to fail. ~ Brian , 👊🏽Toned U p💪 🏽 on Bravo!❗️ Plan to work, work to plan. ~ Alex , Carpenter from 🏡Treehouse Masters 🌳 on 🦁APL🌎
Here’s my organizational strategy:
Map out day (night before ) 🕯💡🛣🌃🌉
Visualize : Pray🙏🏽 ☝🏽️✌🏽️ 👓🌈Exercise💓💞 👣👟🏋 Breakfast ☕️🍊🍳🍞🧀 Tackle the tough things 1st 🏉🏈🏅🎖🏆

A couple of my Catholic brothers have made these remarks about planning (paraphrased):
How do you make GOD laugh? Tell Him your plans! ~ Danny Barrera , JD 👔What’s the point of planning? It takes up more time! ~ Capt. Kirk
While I’m an advocate for daily game planning to help us establish order in our lives, our plans don’t work unless we
know that we can’t implement them singlehandedly, and
that our ultimate goal is to follow GOD’s perfect plan 👏🏽🙌🏽
3:33 ~ make a wish … or, actually: a †prayer !!! ✌

Two-Day Game Warning: Almost the End of Regulation !
As I approach my Big Day (Public Dissertation Defense ) to complete my Doctor of Philosophy , my journey toward this ultimate goal may be drawing to a close while my next one toward my career advancement will begin.
However, my Ph.D. pursuit has helped me grow, not just professionally , but also personally , and most of all: spiritually . Furthermore, this undertaking couldn’t have been accomplished single-handedly: GOD’s grace provided, JESUS’ example was all-sided, and the HOLY SPIRIT’s light guided, in addition to Team Dr. D, who had my back. I forever will be grateful to the †Heavenly HOLY TRINITY† and my positive supporters here on Earth , who’ve rooted me on all the way , leading up to this Tuesday, December 8 ~ save-the-date
My next anticipated title this Advent : Tita Elaine .
We expect my future niece or nephew to arrive around CHRISTmas time ~ the very 1st grandchild of my parents , who recently celebrated their ♥wedding♥ anniversary . Yes, my family is very blessed . Regardless of these joyous times, I pray that we’ll always turn to the LORD , as we lead our lives here while preparing our eternal home in Heaven .
Sending peace and goodwill to San Bernadino, CA, in the wake of this terrorist tragedy. ✌

Happy 1st Day of School (for my students + others out there)!
As I’ve been ready for the fall term since this past spring ~ when I revamped my syllabus, & my wardrobe has been planned for awhile now ~ I’ve happily hitched myself to my dissertation , so I’m challenged with breaking away from my “spouse “!
Of course, I’ve also played my collection of movies & shows in the background + to motivate yours truly the teacher …
My 2 favorite sitcoms of all time :
I actually share common careers with my least favorite main characters from both:
Dr. Ross Gellar from Friends Ted Mosby from HIMYM
We 3 all teach at the college level !
That’s basically the extent of it. Although their 2nd best friends/players are the ones who I favor the most (as characters & the actors who played them) ~ I’m not like either 1 of them
Joey Tribbiani from Friends (who “doesn’t share food”* ~ but apparently didn’t mind sharing his women ~ I also watched his name-titled spin-off to keep me entertained during graduate school a decade ago that co-starred this chick from The Sopranos Barney Stinson from HIMYM (who can resist this tailor-made “awesome” * “legen-wait for it- dary” * “Suit up !” * “Challenge accepted! ” + author of The Bro Code & The Playbook ~ both of which I have as audiobooks on iTunes
How about you? Which character(s) do you admire the most? Who remind you of yourselves?
Are you a Ross /Ted (since they’re similar)?
Do you tend to correct people on their grammar or their pronunciation of certain words?
Do you go out of your way to impress a woman of man (depending on which way you swing)?
If YES to the above, have you worn something outrageous to impress said woman or man? (Think: Ross ‘ leather pants that he tried to remove with powder & his Casper the Friendly Ghost –scary white teeth or Ted ‘s red boots that were featured on his ex-fiancé’s baby’s daddy-turned boyfriend-then husband’s movie, The Wedding Bride )
No offense, but I wouldn’t want to be that guy ~ the one who is nit-picky about people’s grammar. However, I must be when I grade or copy edit (just not as much in my personal relationships)!
Are you a Joey or a Barney ?
Do you scheme to score your latest conquest?
Are you clever (like Barney), or clueless (like Joey)?
*Speaking of Joey not sharing food, here’s a fave food parody from the Fung Bros ~ who film on all things Asian ~ that was released exactly 1 year ago on my birthday

For a 💡dose🍊 of motivation :
My 👓Must-See👀 💿DVDs📀
Get Coached is a collection💾 of 🎬segments🎥 from 🌠winning🏆 🏉football🏈 📣coaches📢
4 NFL head coaches, including 2 Mikes ~ one (Singletary ) who played for another Mike (Ditka ) & the father (Buddy Ryan) of another featured coach (Rex Ryan ), + another one (Sean Payton ) who I actually reported on for one of my last doctoral classes
The Florida State Seminoles former coach (Bobby Bowden )
I also am including how their speeches🎤 ~ which are relevant not just in terms of athletic leadership, but 👔corporate💼 🏣business , as well ~ tie in with the 🌈exemplary💭 leadership theory that I’m exploring in my doctoral🎓 📜dissertation .
📢Cheers👏🏽 to 🏉NFL🏈 Preseason I 🎊2015🎉 👟kickoff!
