In This Book

This is for you... you're making history in my book. ;)

You always seem to know what to say
What I need to hear as well as what I don't 
But its not just in your saying
its in your being. 


Your presence is eminent and distinctive
Openness, serving all
You've silently impacted my life
You've brought me life.

*


You are like a second Mother to me
Spreading your wings ever so gently across my heart
Creating beats
Educating and entertaining.

Always there
Consistent and loyal
Reaching out with fingers intertwined
Ever so gently, holding every hand.
**


The wind beneath the wings 
Helps the angel fly 
Felt like a warm summers breeze 
Easing the way into the relaxation of summer.


The gentle hand holding the underdog
A strong fortress under the boardwalk
A lamp to light the words of the book at night
The gentle loving force behind the life.

A Knock Out

I think its a peculiar thing when someone steps into their destiny/fate "on accident". When something hits one somewhere deep inside and a spark ignites. Sometimes the spark can turn into a full blown fire and if that fire is tended to... who knows how long it might last and what affect it could have. "Muhammad Ali had his bike stolen at 12 years old." What would happen to a kid if they had their bike stolen at 12? Some would cry, some would complain, some would insist on replacing it immediately. Then there are others.... like Muhammad Ali... who thirst for justice.

"That's how Muhammad Ali started his career in boxing. He wanted to beat up the person who stole his bike.
'Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee' was his motto in the ring. Although he was a warrior in the ring, he refused to fight in the Vietnam war because of his religious beliefs and he was banned from the sport for years because of that decision." -http://www.biography.com/articles/Muhammad-Ali-9181165

I hope you enjoy this song & have a great day!

Meet Claudette Colvin!!!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, May I introduce to you a SPECTACULAR woman named Claudette Colvin!!!!!!!!!!  I was refreshing my knowledge of Rosa Parks because I wanted to write about her today but I happened to come across some new information that moved me deeply! Its about Claudette! First of all, my BFF's name is Claudette so her name grabbed my attention and I started reading about her. When she was just 15 YEARS OLD she was the FIRST person to refuse to give up her seat to a white person on a Montgomery bus system... the Rosa Parks incident happened 9 months later...... you have to read the link!!!!!!!!! I laughed and cried.

1. Who says kids can't change the world?
2. Sometimes disorderly conduct creates change if its for the right reasons.
3. Claudette Colvin is an AMAZING woman with a CAPITAL A+!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE HER!!!!!!! 
4. I wonder what she is doing today?
