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!!!

LOVING YOU IS GOOD FOR US
I am a firm believer that LOVE should start at home. I think so many family dysfunctions (and I had them, too) could have been aborted if children had grown up having good loving parents as role models.

BLACK (EXCELLENCE) HISTORY AND LOVE MONTH: A little ditty about Mac and LJ
My Black American history most intimately begins with these two – Willie Mac Lonon and Lonnye Jenkins Lonon– my grandparents.

In the image of God He created them; male and female He created them…Then God looked over all He had made, and He saw thatContinue reading “THANKFUL TO BE”
