♥ Loved Isaiah Washington's New Book!! ♥

A Man from Another Land: How Finding My Roots Changed My LifeA Man from Another Land: How Finding My Roots Changed My Life by Isaiah Washington
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I just finished reading Isaiah Washington's A MAN FROM ANOTHER LAND! He made me laugh, cry, mad, sad, dream, hope, believe. He made me SEE! DNA has memory!!!

The book is a transparent testimony of Isaiah's journey through life as a man, actor, activist, humanitarian, and child of God.

♥ After reading this enthralling testimony all I can say is: I WANT MY AFRICAN DNA TEST NOW!!! I want to know my African self NOW!! Not tomorrow, not next week, not next month ~ NOW! Read his book & you'll feel the overwhelming urgency too!

I am so incredibly impressed with Isaiah! Encore! Encore! I hope the book comes out in audio so he can bring this book to life with his outstanding acting skills!

Phenomenal Woman by Dr. Maya Angelou

Today I'm going to watch Dr. Maya Angelou speak at the Andrew and Walter Young YMCA. They are dedicating the Teen Center to her. Very cool.

Minds Your Matters


As you go through life, make sure you focus on matters that matter. Many matters don't matter at all. The matters that do matter often end up not mattering because we're too busy mattering in minor matters. So mind your major matters and don't major in the minors. That is all.

"The most obvious facts are the most easily forgotten..."


"If, however, economic ambitions are good servants, they are bad masters. The most obvious facts are the most easily forgotten.

Both the existing economic order and too many of the projects advanced for reconstructing it breakdown through their neglect of the truism that, since even quite common men have souls, no increase in material wealth will compensate them for arrangements which insult their self-respect and impair their freedom.

A reasonable estimate of economic organization must allow for the fact that, unless industry is to be paralyzed by recurrent revolts on the part of outraged human nature, it must satisfy criteria which are not purely economic."
