What do you bring to the table?

Last month at my local Urban League Young Professional meeting we had a speaker who had us take an honest assessment of who we were and it got me thinking about what Rhonda is good at. I urge you to do the same...In my own humble opinion, I think that we can be our worst critics. In 2006, I am committing myself to love me more and to give myself props (circa 1990's) even if no one else does. But in true me fashion I have to keep it real... the good and the bad

Rhonda is:
Spiritual-my religious background keeps me sane. Trust that if it hadn't been for God on multiple levels not only would I might not be here... there are a few people I know that would have been "Sleeping with the fishes."
Dedicated
Loyal
Blunt, meaning that I speak my mind
Caring-even when I am blunt I consider the feelings of another
Committed to the community- I hear people all the time talk about how down they are for the black race as if it is something that shouldn't be expected. I have learned to not judge people based on my own moral thermometer, but are you serious... when you won't go into the hood to help those who need you the most. Church shouldn't be the only time when you interact with people who look like you. Just because you are now making six figures... don't forget from whence you came... Perhaps you were born into money, does that exempt you from helping other arrive to where you are? I can see now that this warrants its own blog entry. So I will leave it at that.


Bad:
Sarcastic- Either you love me or hate me... there is rarely lukewarm
Short tempered- with kids I have a lot of patience... with people who are adults... it is short lived

That is pretty much it for my flaws... give me a minute... naw that's it. :)

Think about it truly. What are you doing to make sure that the world is a better place. If your not doing anything...
