Some of the mysteries of life can be the most rewarding experiences of ones life. The story about my birth and death is begging to be told. It is a story that should not be hidden. I remember the day of my birth and death, which occurred at the same moment. It is amazing how much an individual experiences, learns, remembers, and comprehends as an infant or small child. It is even more amazing what one actualizes and perceives about oneself when we become old. The day I was born, I died. My angel came to me. She knew I needed her. My angel told me that I had twin brothers who had died the year before I was born. They were in heaven. My twin brothers came to me and kissed me. My angel took me back to my mother, Lettie. We both were brought back to life.

There are millions of innocent children of the world who deserve love, respect, concern and loyalty. Jesus said many times, “ Suffer the little children to come to me and do not bother them.” Innocent children are untrained, undisciplined and lacking in capacity or experience. Many children suffer today like never before. They need helping navigating their way through the system of life while protecting and respecting themselves. Real life does not teach great lessons in times of ease and prosperity, joy and comfort. Children’s greatest character- building and faith-strengthening lessons mostly come during times of difficulties and suffering. From the time we are born until our death, God doesn’t waste anything – not even our heartaches and trials. Many innocent children are blessed with the empowerment of faith, education and experience of joy they deserve. This is god-sent and shows God’s love of human life. He said “I will show you a most excellent way : LOVE. What we do for others, defines who we are.

I am prospering and am always hopeful because as a blessed African American woman, I accept my responsibility to give back to the people in this country as much as it has given to me. I will always acknowledge my roots, as they are more important than ever. I am an empty vessel but am versed with a spiritual being to complete a mission for God. And I have an angel or angels who have guided me all my days. They are sent from my Sovereign Creator.

There is something within us that lets us know that there is a God somewhere. I have walked and talked with many people in my lifetime who came from small humble beginnings and made a tremendous life change for themselves and their families. Some of us were born in a shack. There were no zip codes and no area codes in those days. Yet where we were born and where we lived mattered then and matters now. Sometimes life presents us with difficulties and hardships. From time to time, an individual has to look back and ponder from whence he or she has come. More importantly, no matter what happens in our lives, individually or collectively, God will be there with us always. All we have to do is heed his call and follow him.

OUR CREATOR IS BESIDE US ALWAYS AND WE ARE NEVER ALONE. WE CAN WALK AND BELIEVE IN SOMEONE OTHER THAN MANKIND. IT IS PROMISING TO SEE YOUNG PEOPLE, OUR GRANDCHILDREN, DIRECTING OTHER PEOPLE AND DEVELOPING A SENSE OF HUMILITY AND DISCERNMENT WITH A GIVING SPIRIT. THERE IS SOMETHING INHERENT IN ALL OF US THAT SHOULD NEVER BE EXTINGUISHED. THE GENERATIONS TO COME SHOULD BE GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE WHAT THEY CAN BE, AS WE ARE ALL PUT ON EARTH FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE. WE LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING AND SEE SIGNS OF CIRCUMSTANCES THAT ARE YET TO COME. THIS IS THE BEST OF TIMES AND THE WORSE OF TIMES, WRITTEN BY CHARLES DICKENS. YET THERE IS A PRESENCE OF LIGHT THAT CAN ONLY BE GIVEN BY THE ONE WHO CREATED ALL THAT WE ARE AND HAVE.

Fighting for justice in America is a struggle for a lifetime. It is not just a struggle for a moment, a day, a month, a year. A moral voice must be heard for the quest for equality and must be relevant to an entire new generation of Americans - Black, White, Asians, Latinos and Native Americans. There is no such thing as perfection for all situations because the challenges are too great. Many unforeseen things are coming, but with the Creator's help, we will prevail, we will not fail. Our Creator has given us air to breathe, love, and substance to live by and our very existence is a gift. Our talents are based on our faith and willingness to let God's power work in us. We must made a concerted effort to value each other as we all have the Creator's finger print on us. We are a community, a nation, America!

Our lives will be pulled from the ashes many times, and those times will bring good purposes in our lives. Individualism and independence are at the heart of being American. There will always be many ambition- driven challenges, many events you will not foresee. You will handle some well and some badly. For there is no adequate preparation for all of life’s situations and relationships. There is no such thing as perfection when it comes to relationships that exist between people, especially the relationships between a man and woman. It is possible to have a good relationship with persons in your life, once you first have that relationship with yourself. But with the Creator’s help, you will prevail, you will not fail. We must open doors wide to let others in to learn and to mature. Our Creator will fix our hearts to become involved in reaching and bringing a lost world to Him.

My motto is: “Instead of harming ourselves and our children with opium and other drugs, alcohol, sex, guns and hatred, malice and racism, we as Blacks and Whites, Latinx and Asians and Indians and all in between need to manage disappointment, poverty, and living with stress to the extent that our choices allow us to leverage intelligence and energy in order to produce and create a level beyond “good enough” to outstanding. A parent or guardian’s responsibility as caregiver to their children’s mental, physical and moral development provides an impetus to make the world in which their children live be a better place to live. We must help our new generations make a clear path for the future and make the future a reality, creating a time in which our current struggles are nothing more than a distant memory. A moral voice must be available to all Americans as we make a concerted effort to value and respect and love all our Creators creatures -great or small.
