If you can dream it, you can do it.—Walt Disney American Animation Pioneer (1901-1966)
While watching an interview recently with singer, writer, producer James Ingram he told of how his Father taught him growing up not to try to do anything, but to do it. There was never any “I’ll try to be a singer.” Or “I’ll try to write.” Or I’ll try to get a record deal.” It was I’m just going to go out there and do this thing!
If you’ve Continue reading
We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us. – E.M. Forster, British Writer (1879- 1970)
How many of us have our life planned out to the “T?” From the time we are young until we grow up, a lot of us have it deeply ingrained in us exactly what we are going to do when we grow up, what we are going to have, and how we are going to get it. Even if we don’t know this as children, at some point we have it figured out.
I remember reading a story once of a young woman that Continue reading
Faith is the daring of the soul to go farther than it can see.
–William Newton Clarke American Clergyman (1841-1912)
I love this quote. It’s simple, but so very true. What is it that you want to do or need to do, but won’t because of fear in your soul?
We as believers have power in the Lord to overcome and do great things, but hardly exercise it. Many of us live a weak life while Continue reading

Brazilian Model Mariana Bridi de Costa
I came across a story last Friday afternoon (January 23, 2009) about a young 20 year old Brazilian model that really touched my heart. Her name was Mariana Bridi de Costa.
Everything had been going well in her world. She was achieving her dreams and accomplishing goals that would allow her and her family to have a better life someday. She had placed sixth in a major contest just last year in China, and had been signed by model scout Dilson Stein who was also responsible for discovering Supermodel Gisele Bundchen.
Then in less than a month her entire world was flipped upside down. Continue reading
I would just like to say in this post that I am forever grateful to this man of God that stood up for the rights of his people, and for everyone. Because of him I can write here without fear or shame of people finding out about the fact that I’m black. Or even just being able to write here at all because I am black. Because of this man I can eat where I want. I can work where I want. I can marry a man of another race, because it is no longer illegal to do such a thing. I can go where I want without fear Continue reading
December 31, 2008. The last day of the year 2008. Can you believe it? It feels like time really flew this year. I look back on the last year and I’m amazed at all I’ve learned and all that I’ve overcome. I did not achieve all that I had hoped to. I did not work on my book as much as I had intended, and therefore was unable to complete it for example. However, I did finally get my blog up and running, and you know what? I’m very proud of that! That is a major achievement. It took Continue reading
We’re living in tough times right now and people are concerned about not being able to provide a big “traditional” Christmas for their families this year. I heard it said that a woman told a friend about having a “dollar store” Christmas because she couldn’t afford toys from the major toy chains and department stores. Perhaps you can relate. I can. I also was Continue reading
