Happy New Year
It's a new day; a new time; a new year! I'm excited about all the possibilities and I hope you are too. I believe 2015 can be your year if you're willing to take risks and try new things. There's no reason to think that things must remain the same... Hell No! You are NOT destined to struggle all your life in a job that you hate, nor stay in a...
Believe in yourself…
Believe in yourself... That's all the ancestors are asking of you. That's all that the universe demands! I know! It's easier said than done. Yet, this is the challenge before us. This is where the work begins. This is not a battle you can afford to lose. There's simply too much at stake... The outside world wages a systematic campaign every...

The Wisdom Of Your Little Ones
My granddaughter says my nose is big... And my grandson says my feet are ugly... My little ones make me laugh! They crack me up because they're just being sincere. They're not trying to hurt my feelings in any way. (At least I hope not). LOL They're just keeping it real! My nose IS big. What can I say, it runs in the family. And my feet? Let's...
No Magic Bullet
One Yoruba proverb says it all... "Patience is the father of character." Yet of all spiritual challenges patience ranks high as one of the toughest to master. What do you say?

Five Minutes With Mom

She said being with me for even five minutes means so much to her. Her words touched me because we have most things backward in this crazy world that we live in... We've been conditioned to...

He's a spiritual, intellectual and cultural beacon as well as a community activist too! I was struck by something he said before the show began... I overheard...
