Don't Just Stand There! Do Something!!!
The problem with humans is that we set ourselves up in lives that make happiness impossible to achieve and then sit there wishing we were happy instead of doing something about it...
Damn! Ain't that some powerful shit?
How many of us are actually sitting in our shit this very moment? How many of us are sitting, stewing, broiling in the shit we've created because at one point or the other it was the best way to handle the situation?
In an earlier post I stressed it was my turn, today I begin anew.
The weekend was long, at times painful, but eventful nonetheless. The highlight: Attending a small quaint birthday celebration for fellow writer, and friend Terrance Dean (www.terrancedean.net), author of "Reclaim Your Power: A 30 Day Guide to Hope, Healing and Inspiration for Men of Color."
The party was hosted by Grammy Award winner Gordon Chambers, who has penned songs for Anita Baker, Areatha Franklin, Brandy, SWV, Brownstone and the list goes on. His brownstone in the heart of Fort Greene (that's in Brooklyn, for those of you who are not familiar with New York) is honestly a work of art.
Television personality and author Lloyd Boston (www.makeoveryourman.com) whose books Make Over Your Man, and Men of Color: Fashion, History, & Fundamentals are sparking a revolution in fashion, was there. It was a pleasure meeting him.
And last but not least, Kevin E. Taylor (www.unclutter.org), author of Unclutter: Cleanse your Spirit and Claim your Stuff was there. And boy, oh boy was I lucky enough to secure an autographed copy of his powerful first testatment.
Attending the party really pyched me up for the release of my novel. And as I steadily approach the drop date I look forward to all of the blessings God's about to bestow on me...
I'm glad I chose to do something about it...
Much love and respect people.
