Can you say Fun!!!!


Greetings Family!!
It is really cold and I can’t take it.  It has not even gotten really cold or snowed and yet….I can’t take it!  As I mature my tolerance for cold leaves me.  I really could see living somewhere warm all year long.  Of course I would come “home” for the holidays.  Having a Peña Colada by the pool on Christmas day doesn’t work for me either.  Maybe all of this has to do with the fact that I have just returned from vacation.  It is really hard for me to return to the swing of things when I come back.  All that sun and fun clouds my judgment.  It makes me think that we can actually “live” on vacation.  I am still working on figuring that out family.  We went sailing again on the fabulous Capital Jazz Cruise. http://www.capitaljazz.com/supercruise/   You all might be familiar with the weekend concert held in Maryland every June.  The same organization charters a cruise ship and hosts the most fantastic party on the sea that you will ever attend!  You will never want to go on a regular cruise after attending this one.  How do you top midnight jam sessions with Najee, Alex Bugnon and Phil Perry, a dress up 80’s dance party (Madonna was my influence!), Anthony Hamilton and Uncle Charlie Wilson, line dancing, zumba and salsa classes, documentary and live performance by the original Sugar Hill Gang (what!!), Greek parties and card parties, loved Chrisette Michelle  and Stephanie Mills, seminars and workshops, football party, Dougie Fresh on the Lido deck, church on the boat family with Marvin Sapp!!….and you know how I feel about the spa!  And that was all the first day…lol!  Throw in stops at Curacao, Dominican Republic and Aruba and it was just too much.  I didn’t mention even half of the rest of the cruise.  I needed a vacation from vacation.  But family, that is all now a wonderful memory that I refer to often as I commute in to work.  I am grateful for the much needed break and look forward to the next one.  If you have a chance to check out this cruise …do it!  This is the 2
nd one for us.  Trust me; it will truly be one of the best vacations you have ever taken.  Just in case you don’t believe me here is a picture of me from the boat.

Peace Family!!

50 years of Marriage



Good Morning Pooka Family!  I am just returning from Tucson Arizona where I went to celebrate my Uncle Joe & Aunt Marlene’s 50th wedding anniversary!  Fifty years of being married to the same person!!!  That is truly a testimony!!  I admire my Aunt and Uncle tremendously; they are true role models for marriage and family.  They never miss a family reunion, they come to everyone’s graduations, and they are world travelers! Last year they went to Corsica and Paris! Oh and they both are Greek (Kappa and Delta) so of course they never miss a convention either.  For those sisters who will be in DC this July for the Delta convention you may run into Aunt Marlene representing for her AZ chapter!  We are truly blessed to have role models like them representing our history and our family!

Reap what you Sow!


Well Pooka family, it’s definitely a time of reflection as we ready ourselves to close out 2012.   When I found out about the @blackenterprise cover early in the year I began claiming all year long that I was In my “season”.  I used my positive affirmations and stated every day that, “This is my season!” and I truly believe it was and still is.  I’ve always heard people say you reap what you sow.  I’ve always looked at the negative, meaning that If you do bad, you get bad.  But this year I thought of it from the positive side. 2 Corinthians 9:6 says,The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.” 
After 12 years in business I’ve realized that we have been sowing seeds all through our journey.  By connecting with great people, exploring new opportunities, considering different viewpoints, acquiring knowledge, growing, changing, sharing and in many other ways, we’ve been sowing seeds of growth for Pooka.  Along the way we’ve also had many roadblocks, set backs and opportunities that didn’t produce what we hoped.  BUT I see now that we are reaping a lot of the rewards from things that we thought were deadends or failed opportunities.  I say all of this to say, SOW YOUR BUSINESS SEEDS.  Make connections and don’t worry If you feel nothing comes out of it, In due time you’ll reap benefits. Gather knowledge, even though you don’t see how it might be helpful now, in due season you’ll reap benefits.  Talk to people, listen, share and do what you can to help others and in due season you’ll reap the benefits. Do the hard work now and don’t give up and I believe in due season, YOUR season, you will see all the amazing results of the seeds you’ve sown!  I am going to stay inspired and positive, be faithful and keep sowing, 2013 is going to outdo 2012, my season continues!
