Many people secretly feel like they are not enough. Maybe you are one of them.
The job you have does not pay all the bills, and the life you live has no thrills for the reels on social media. Maybe life is not all you had hoped for, but you need to know that your story is incomplete.
I took this photograph of the Sovereign Building last year and set it on sandstone to create a one-of-a-kind coaster. The Sovereign Building, historically known as the Marion Hotel, sits at 108 N Magnolia Avenue in Ocala, Florida. The hotel has a rich history in the community. According to records obtained from the City of Ocala, the […]
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!!!

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 […]

It certainly helped her in her career at NASA. Her mathematical calculations were critical to the space shuttle program. I’m a believer in Mrs. Johnson words. Are you? […]
Black History is everyone’s history. This fact weighs on my heart as we close Black History Month. Although mainly, Black Americans scurry around like fire ants to build a mound of historical facts for the public and children to learn in a (short) month, our best endeavors will never be enough to encompass all the […]
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. I believe that is why television had a more positive effect in the past, regardless of imagery […]
My Black American history most intimately begins with these two – Willie Mac Lonon and Lonnye Jenkins Lonon– my grandparents. I am blessed to have known them both (my grandfather died when I was seven, my grandmother lived to see me graduate college), and I lived with them for a while when my mother was […]
