WINNING AT ANY AGE
I didn’t watch the Oscars, but I did hear this statement by the 2023 best actress winner, Michelle Yeoh. Yeoh said during her acceptance speech, “Ladies, don’t let anyone tell you you’re ever past your prime.” Yes! I like this a lot!!! On the contrary, I wonder if Don Lemon is having flashbacks about his…

PERSONALITY CREATES REALITY
How to break the cycle. Did you know that 90 percent of our thoughts are the same as the day before? No wonder nothing changes until we change. This is why I wrote the 21 days to Your Best Life. The e-book was nothing extraordinary, only an awareness of the changes a person can make…

FREEDOM
On this Sunday, I pray that those currently captivated by this world will return to the only true God, the Lord-Yehovah. It is time for your tears of shame and pain to return to joy. He is waiting for you. “Turn to freedom our captivity and restore our fortunes, O Lord, as the streams in…

SKILL AND EDUCATION
Black History is everyone’s history. This fact weighs on my heart as we close Black History Month.

LOVING YOU IS GOOD FOR US

A SON BEATEN TO DEATH ON TV: Is this a new norm for Black American moms?

In my opinion, there are so many things wrong with seeing Tyre Nichols beaten to death on national television repeatedly. But does anyone care?…

AN UNLIKEABLE AFFAIR WITH THE NEWS
Remember when the news was delivered by people we trusted I have never been a fan of the news. I’ve always been skeptical of the negative light I often saw Blacks portrayed and how White reporters always seemed to find the dumbest person in the neighborhood to interview and represent an entire community. Really? For…

BOOK REVIEW OF DAY 5 AND 6 FOR 2023
Days Five and Six seem to be error free, but I will make a plan to review these two chapters again when I am feeling better. For the last couple of days, I have been weak, bed bound, and my head has been throbbing like drums in a marching band. Still, I managed to preserve,…

BOOK REVIEW OF DAY 3 AND 4 FOR 2023
As I mentioned on Monday, I am planning to revise the 21 Days to Your Best Life e-book. I wrote it at the end of 2020 because the process worked so well for me (someone who had been struggling with illnesses and near-death encounters) I wanted to share it with others. It was not a…
