My Non-Profit
I talked to my co-leader yesterday since I’ve decided nobody is truly in charge yet except the both of us, and we both decided I work on the business plan, she works on finding a suitable third-in-command for our organization. I came up with a name for the said organization, and that is “We Help,” because we are intent on helping people with chronic illnesses/disabilities that make it hard to get away from families whether the family is abusive or stable. For starters, I as a leader need a job that can do that for me, by making a stable income.

The High Cost of Managing Without Flexibility
This is an article about a story that seems to repeat itself almost every day in the 24/7/365, social media-oriented culture that we live in today. Yes, it's an embarrassing, "gotcha" moment—and in this case, it is McDonald's in the crosshairs of people from around the world. Yesterday, it may have been Starbucks and what happened in their Philadelphia location involving two black men who chose one of their locations for a business meeting that led to a corporate crisis, both in terms of public relations and internally with their employees (see below).

The Value of Time
I'm a little bit frustrated these days and one thing in particular that I'd like to share.

Making a felt story not only costs money to buy the supplies, but it takes up my time; as others who make felt stories as a side business can relate.

3 Major Things I Learned Working in Retail
Let's be honest. Working retail is no easy task for most people. People working in retail are usually bottom chain workers. Meaning, we end up doing the heavy lifting; the hard work and dirty work that no one wants to. Often, this type of work includes cleaning floors, organizing the clothes, refolding, making everything look neat and tidy as well as working the register AND on top of that running back and forth checking on customers and making sure EVERYONE is happy. As mentioned earlier, working in retail is difficult and not meant for the sensitive. Take it from someone who is sensitive and has many anxieties... it is not easy.

The New Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA)
In 2017 Congress passed major tax reform legislation, known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA).

These changes, however, are temporary in nature and generally apply beginning in 2018 and ending on December 31, 2025. Accordingly, most of the provisions of the Act applicable to individual taxpayers will expire in 2026.
