Kindness is Magic

 Been are long day today before I knocked off just smiling to myself reminiscing todays event. We all have our fair share of things that life throws at us.....Today I needed to go to VC to pick up some quotes so I went to Cool Stuff and ask the ladies there to give a quote for 10 phones. Typical shops they will pass you from one person to the next so the ladies at the counter directed me to another person who would take the details and ensure the quote is sent. So to save us both the time I gave her my business card and ask her if she could send the details to the address on the card. She got the card looked at me and looked at the card and asked me who should she attention it to. I said attention it to the name on the card, but she kept on looking at me wanting me to explain further I presume she thought I was carrying around someone else's card so I looked at her gave her my biggest smile and whispered quietly to her that the person on the card is me. The shocked that came over her when she realized got me laughing and we both had a good laugh she started apologizing and said she will pass it on to her manager I said all good I looked down at my skinny jeans and my Nestle black Polo and had the biggest grin as I walked out of the shop.....I remember the time I was in Malaysia and walked into a printing shop owned by Australians to sign off on our local livery that they were printing I flew in from Singapore that morning and was meeting up with them by 11am the Director came out to met me and I think he got the biggest shock of his life because he did not expect Miriam to be a black woman let alone from PNG I smiled my biggest and said Sir nice to met you and I also brought you some PNG coffee and chocolate (Queen Emma) to make up for his wrong assumption he went out of his way to ensure my day at the factory was well taken care of till my cab picked me up in the afternoon to take me back to the hotel....people everywhere see life through difference lenses I guess but it is always good to laugh it off and live life as simple as can be. When we were in Melbourne Sharina came home from school one day and wanted me to pay for something I can't remember what it was. So the next day I took her to school and then went up to the office to see the ladies to sort it out. I walked in and the lady asked me how will you pay, which I felt was a bit absurd as the requirement was credit card. So I looked at her and said with my credit card....she still kept on looking and asking the same question again so I knew what she was assuming I kindly explained to her that the name on the card is mine and I was a student from Swinburne and before I could finish her supervisor overheard our conversation and came out to personally apologize and explain the precaution they take because she mistook me for someone else....it doesn't matter how people treat us what matters is how we react to situations best remedy is to laugh it off and treat them back with kindness.

Travel Vlog Gold Coast Australia (Day 1)

Travelling is not an expensive exercise if you plan well and stack some savings aside for your trip. There are budget places to stay at which is convenient for your purse. For my travel I used www.booking.com  to find a great 4 star rated hotel for accommodation which was within my budget. I choose the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia because of its sunny beaches and touristy attraction away from the big cities. On top of that Gold coast offers both coast and hinterland tourist attraction. Here is an abstract from goggle about Gold Coast or GC as it is affectionately referred  to; The Gold Coast is a metropolitan region south of Brisbane on Australia’s east coast. It's famed for its long sandy beaches, surfing spots and elaborate system of inland canals and waterways. It’s also home to theme parks such as Dreamworld, Sea World and Wet’n’Wild. Inland, hiking trails crisscross Lamington National Park’s mountain ridges and valleys, home to rare birds and rainforest.  ― Google Popula

 Reposted with permission from KCM....... If you’re done living paycheck to paycheck, making never-ending payments and being subject to lenders, it’s time to take these 5 steps to a debt-free life! “Receive the power.” That was a recent  word of the Lord to Kenneth Copeland  concerning the debt freedom of His people. He continues: “The power to get wealth is THE BLESSING of Abraham, and it’s in you right now. Don’t look to the outside—it’s in you.” Glory to God! Living debt free is possible, and it is God’s will that every one of us enjoy a prosperous life. If you’re facing a small debt or a mountain of debt, know this: There is no condemnation. If you are in a debt situation, get rid of all condemnation and go to a place of faith—because you are on your way out! There is no question that it is God’s will for you to live debt free. His Word says He will make you the head and not the tail…and bless all the work of your hands…and you will lend and NOT borrow (Deuteronomy 28:12-13). That

Memoirs of an Entrepreneur (Pricing)

  Pricing is something that most of us take for granted. Am not sure if you really think about price apart from when there is a price increase. Have you ever wondered how people price goods and services and what should be the correct way of pricing your items. If you price too high you will loose customers and if you price too low then you will not make a profit so there is a place where you need to come too rightly to price items. As a christian there is also God's pespective on pricing. The book of levitcus is where God instructed the Isrealites on how to price items 26: 14  And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not oppress one another:  God is very clear he does not want us to oppress another brother by putting our price too high that they struggle to buy our item and if they do they forgo other necessecities that they need in life. When you are pricing your good or service what is the first thing that comes to mind? I have
