For far too long all we tried to do was survive. Well damn that, it's time to thrive. Surprise your enemies, become the best, the brightest, and the most successful. Then smile as they wonder how....God can do even more then you can dream.   




Hey, inspite of all obstacles and insanity that came my way, disregarding all the passive and active aggression...I made it, I am still here. And guess what...having a ball y'all...



God loves me not because of who I am or what I've done; but because of who He is and what He's done...

       Outline 1)  The importance of Juneteenth to the average American. 2) History is a process not a moment. 3) How poetry, music, and history intertwined to produce messages of hope, resilience, and success. 4) What does history tell us about the current conversation regarding DEI?  5) Why Juneteenth -and why do we need to understand the dreams of freedom? 6) What Juneteenth tells us about mental wellness and the future. 7) What the celebration of Juneteenth has to do with today's millennials and gen-z.      1)  The importance of Juneteenth to the average American.

When God Created Woman - by Donna Ashworth

  When God created woman, he was working late on the 6th day. An angel came by and asked, “Why spend so much time on her?" The Lord answered, “Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her? She must function in all kinds of situations. She must be able to embrace several kids at the same time. Have a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart. She must do all this with only two hands. She cures herself when sick and can work 18 hours a day.” The angel was impressed, "Just two hands...impossible! And this is the standard model?"

What he learned -a failing student's last essay
