Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother. Books were my pass to personal freedom. I learned to read at age three, and soon discovered there was a whole world to conquer that went beyond our farm in Mississippi. Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity. Don't fight them. Just find a different way to stand. Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right. Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together. Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance. Every time you state what you want or believe, you're the first to hear it. It's a message to both you and others about what you think is possible. Don't put a ceiling on yourself. Getting my lifelong weight struggle under control has come from a process of treating myself as well as I treat others in every way. I am a woman in process. I'm just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull. I define joy as a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace - a connection to what matters.I don't think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good. I don't think you ever stop giving. I really don't. I think it's an on-going process. And it's not just about being able to write a check. It's being able to touch somebody's life. I knew there was a way out. I knew there was another kind of life because I had read about it. I knew there were other places, and there was another way of being. I trust that everything happens for a reason, even when we're not wise enough to see it. I'm black, I don't feel burdened by it and I don't think it's a huge responsibility. It's part of who I am. It does not define me. If you neglect to recharge a battery, it dies. And if you run full speed ahead without stopping for water, you lose momentum to finish the race. It doesn't matter who you are, or where you came from. The ability to triumph begins with you. ALWAYS. It's much easier for me to make major life, multi-million dollar decisions, than it is to decide on a carpet for my front porch. That's the truth. Living in the moment brings you a sense of reverence for all of life's blessings. Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity. My idea of heaven is a great big baked potato and someone to share it with. Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness. Understand that the right to choose your own path is a sacred privilege. Use it. Dwell in possiblity. What material success does is provide you with the ability to concentrate on other things that really matter. And that is being able to make a difference, not only in your own life, but in other people's lives. What we're all striving for is authenticity, a spirit-to-spirit connection. |
