"There is always something to do. There are hungry people to feed, naked people to clothe, sick people to comfort and make well. And while I don't expect you to save the world I do think it's not asking too much for you to love those with whom you sleep, share the happiness of those whom you call friend, engage those among you who are visionary and remove from your life those who offer you depression, despair and disrespect.†...Nikki Giovanni

I MISS THIS MAN SOOOO MUCH!
I'm gonna make this one short...otherwise the tears will start to flow..(sad face)...
There will NEVER be another Gerald Edward Levert!
Below is one of those 'infamous' Teddy Bears Gerald gave me a couple of years ago at one of his concerts!
Now anyone who has attended one of G's concerts...ya understand fully how important it is to get one of these! lol...
and it's even more important when he "GIVES" it to ya and not "THROW" it! lol...Well...He "Gave" me mine! (smile)...cause there's some unnecessary stuff that happened when he threw those teddy's...some stuff that was quite painful! lol...
But he personally gave this one to me...cause he didn't want the "unnecessary to occur"....Yep! (smile).
Still Missin' You G!

Most importantly, I Think about and have longed for the pleasure and opportunity to meet my Great, Great Grandmother. Just to sit in the presence of the woman who passed down to my mother & my mother's mother, a lineage of Strong, full of Character, Tenacity and Strength Women. The kind of Virtue and Strength I see in my Mom, it came from her mom, and her mom's mom...and so forth...so yeah, TO HAVE SEEN THEM LIVE THE LIFE they passed on to my mom, who in turn made that Legacy Generational, by depositing it in the lives of her daughters, then my daughters, etc. To meet them & Experience their Struggles, Joys, Truth's, that would be an HONOR!!!

We can no longer make excuses for why children are living in poverty. Something has to be done, and something can be done right now.
Educate yourself, and use that knowledge to make a difference!
