It Ain’t That Serious

Last week, I came across an interview with Queen Latifah and she was asked what the best advice she ever received was. Her response (in much shorter order than she said it) was that early in her career when she was upset about something a member of her team (who is still with her) said…

I Do It…

(Insert Your First Name) do it! Remember wanting to feel independent and try new things when you were young? If you have kids and grandchildren, you’ve been blessed to watch them grow into (and through) this phase.

Last week, I shared part of Niecy Nash’s acceptance speech from the Emmy awards show. She talked about being a winner and she thanked herself. It was powerful! If you haven’t listened to it, I suggest you do – it will be worth the one minute and fourteen seconds of your time. What was just…

Stop Waiting For The Storm To Pass

I love quotes… I saw one the other day that I saved and haven’t stopped thinking about. It said… “Life isn’t about waiting for the Storm to Pass… It’s about learning to Dance in the Rain!” How many times have you found yourself waiting for something before you take the next step? We’ve all done…

Keep A-Goin’!

I was talking to a friend of mine this morning and she told me about a poem her mom used to recite to her. It was called “Keep A-Goin’!” by Frank Lebby Stanton (1857-1927). When she read it to me, I immediately knew it was the topic for this week. Does it seem like a…
