THE GAME~BIGFASE~B-FLY'S AUNTIE MIMI

.GOD, Family, books, music, genealogy, photography, travel, my work on Compton High School Alumni Association's Board of Director's, creative writing, women's issues, African American Literature, and booksignings."Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Books:

I LOVE BOOKS!!The Bible, Your Best Life Now~Joel Osteen, Illuminated Prayers~Marianne Williamson, The Coldest Winter Ever~Sister Souljah, Mama~Terry Mcmilliam, Gone With the Wind~Margaret Mitchell, The Middle Passage~John Hope Franklin, Angela Davis on Angela Davis, The Audacity of Hope~Barack Obama Every word written by Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou, Alice Walker, Walter Mosley, and Langston Hughes â€œI like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities......."Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." ....
