I'd like to meet:
Spike Lee, Herbie Hancock, The Wachowski Brothers (Matrix,V for Vendetta), Mandela, Oprah, Jordan, Trump, Zig Ziglar, Les Brown, Pat Riley (LA Lakers), and many more. Some people wish they could meet Jesus...He's already an old friend.
I'm fascinated with achievers and their paths to fulfilling their callings--no matter what the venue or discipline.
I'm also a part of the LinkedIn networking site:
Music:
My fav for IDOL is the amazing Belinda Doolittle--she's got the goods this year. She's part Jennifer Holiday, part Stephanie Mills and a whole lotta big voice.Otherwise, Lizz Wright, Corinne Bailey Rae, Raul Midon, Old School R&B joints, The Roots (saw them live last summer--OMG!!!) Jill Scott, and so many others influence me.Gospel music? Not so inspiring at this point...it sounds all alike to me now....maybe I'm jaded? Hmmmm...
Movies:

Television:
TV is the opiate of the masses. I barely watch TV, mainly from a conviction that I'd rather live my life out loud than vicariously through a LCD/Plasma screen. Kinda like watching golf--or a marathon--on TV...um...it's nothing like the smell of freshly cut grass and the frustration of smacking a little white dimpled ball around for 4 hours. No benchwarming for me. Put me in the Game!!!

Ordering Your Private World. The Goal. Khalil Gibran's The Prophet, The Science of Getting Rich anything by Orison Swett Marden, Oswald Chambers or Dale Carnegie. I'm always reading something. at least 4 books per month. my kids don't get allowances for doing chores...they get paid for how many books they read and report to me on. ;-)
Heroes:
Jesus Christ is my greatest hero--for his vision, his passion, his tenacity, his compassion and his loving leadership. As a historic figure, he outshines everyone.My late adoptive mom, Mary Dumas Johnson, and my unknown biological parents who had the guts to let me live and put me up for adoption. Whether I find you or not, I love you.
