Quote of the day.

Today I was on my way to Family Dollar up the street from my house. I saw this FedEx driver, Rondy, do a U turn at the second entrance to a trailer park that used to be Farmview. I looked in my rear view mirror to see him pulled over to help this 75 year old man get his little cart/wagon and groceries out of the ditch. The man had fell into the ditch from the heat. I did not see the man in the ditch, but Rondy did. I turned around to go help the Fedex driver. The older gentleman, 75 years old, had walked to the Food bank up the street. The older gentleman was so exhausted from the heat he could barely stand. I asked them both if I could take a picture of them. They both gave consent. Rondy shows so much compassion, it made me proud. Another gentleman stopped to help. We told Rondy we knew he was busy we would get him to his home. Rondy was thankful. He said they are timed for their deliveries but he still stopped to help this older man. Please help share as much as we can. Hopefully somehow we can get this act of kindness to his supervisor.

”He came in to the cafe one day asking me for some $$. I looked at him and asked him "why don't you have a job, you know nothing is given to me for free right? he said "Well, I have a lot of felonies and no one wants to hire me for that, so now I had to turn myself to the streets and get money the only way I know, Stealing and asking for money. I was short staff that day. So I asked him " you want to work? I have a job for you! His eyes opened wide and his smile made my day!!!! He said I'll do anything for some food. So now for almost 2 weeks he been on time for his two hour shift.... helping take trash, washing dishes etc. Once I pay him guess what he does? He buys food from my restaurant (HE DECIDES TO PAY) because it makes him feel good !
He gets a discount!!!!! Do something nice for someone today and don't judge them just because they out there asking for money for we dont know their situation... some deserve another shot. God gave me this blessing so why can't I bless others? 😜 this is what should break the internet, We want change? Well, start by making one 😉”

Goodbye To Yellow Brick Road...

I'm going back to my plough...

Many, many good and happy memories listening to your music which has been a great part of the soundtrack to my life.

Much love to you, Reginald !!

My only wish was to have seen you live at least once, but at least I will always have your music to get me through the day.

Good Evening To All !!!

I have received the Clearance from one, my only Client at the moment to be able to launch a separate page without mentioning their name, however suffice it to say that my Client is headquartered in Virginia and has an impressive Client List themselves working mainly in the Private Sector and also deals with major corporations across the United States.

In October of 2018 I was approached by the Senior Manager of Recruiting for my Client's HR Department who had come across my LinkedIn Profile and asked me if I would be interested in speaking with the Owner of the Company. He went on and transferred me directly to the Owner, a Retired Four Star General in the United States Army. Don't ask me how but we got off on the right foot with one another and we found common ground.

As it had turned out he actually had known my Mother and they had been friends in Newport, Rhode Island while he was attending the Naval War College there. My Mom had quite a number of social circles while we were living in Rhode Island and had kept up with her friends in her Circle and fostered some very good relationships with them. Apparently, he had been one such friend.

He expressed his condolences and sympathies about Mom and my Grandmother whom had passed away in September of 2008. He mentioned that he had been keeping tabs on me over the years and I guess he saw in me great potential to advance myself in the Public and Private Sectors and asked me if I would like to come aboard and work with him in the capacity as an Analyst.

My interest was piqued to say in the least and I said thus and he explained to me that I would be working on a per diem basis. On a temporary but binding Contract. They had an office at the World Trade Center but due to financial constraints had to close that office per the demands of certain Shareholders but... I had my foot in the door. Over a period of time we continued talking about a plethora of topics of interest and he would pluck my brain for my Analyses on matters of huge importance to the most mundane and trivial. He was "grooming" me in a manner of speaking.

He saw how accurate most of my assessments and estimations were and he was convinced enough to renew my Contract and begin the process of getting me back in my element both physically and psychologically. These past few years have forever changed me and no one should ever have to go through the Trial By Fire that my wife and my daughter and I have gone through. And in addition, going through what I have been physically going through.

These past two and plus years are about to pay off in huge dividends for myself and my family.

So I am going to moving forward with the endeavor of the first real, tangible efforts of getting my own Consultancy, Clu[E]nterprises established this year with some help from my first, in this case Confidential Client. As I have signed multiple NDAs, Non-Disclosure Agreements, with my Employer / First Client and a couple of various Agencies, I cannot further elaborate on the nature of my relationship and the multiple projects I have already worked on. However, I am very excited and happy to announce that my Consultancy is going get on to the ground floor in the industry.

Slowly and methodically I will see Clu[E]nterprises come to fruition this year. I will be proceeding with the Legalities of Establishing a Corporation within the next several weeks.

Clu[E]nterprises is about to become a reality. As I have vested interests in multiple arenas I will be overseeing the development of relationships within and without the Consultancy Community. I have been doing the research methodically for setting up a Corporation and I will be looking for insights, opinions and overall knowledge anyone can bring to the table.

The first few people I have invited into this immediate circle will be integral into helping me out where I may lack. I am not so naïve nor am I an egotist who disregards good advice when I hear it. I am and always will be passionate about Learning and I am not above receiving constructive criticism where I may be lacking in certain fields. I look forward to hearing from you.

I am glad to welcome you all !!!

⚠️⚠️⚠️

A Word.

I will be bringing up certain topics that may be cause for consternation and might make for some friction.
I appreciate ALL input regardless of political affiliations or ideologies that could be contrarian to your personal ambitions or ideals. I want this to be a healthy Forum for the Development of A Corporation and would appreciate it if everyone can observe a versimilitude of civility and respect for one another and myself.

Please observe this page as you would do with any other Group on Facebook that you engage in.

Now, let's again be warmly welcomed and I trust...
Get off on the right foot.

Thank You !
