Reflections: Being Thankful

Published by

11.28.18 Hi! November 2018 is winding down and I’m getting ready for December, but before we draw this month to a close, I wanted to reflect on how thankful we should be.  Be thankful that you woke up this morning because God didn’t have to, but He did.  Be thankful for the roof over your head, even though it is not in the best shape. Be thankful for the clothes on your back, may not be Gucci, Stella McCartney, or Elie Saab, but it’s ok. Be thankful for the food on the table, not only that but to be able to properly eat the food! Be thankful for your family, may not be the best family, but still be thankful. Be thankful for your health…can not stress that enough. Lastly, be thankful for the small things, kind words, to love one another, because that what we all need…to love one another.  Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday, be blessed.   Image source: Future Stuffs Advertisements

Black Panther, which became a massive hit, grossed over $1.3 billion worldwide, breaking numerous box office records including the highest-grossing film by a black director and may I add was the second highest grossing film of 2018 behind Avengers: Infinity War.

With success of Black Panther and Crazy Rich Asians, I’m at least taking notice, well Hollywood is beginning to take notice. In this…well I should say racial climate, people are beginning to open up to seeing something different on the big screen.

Reflections: Poems of Ambition…

Published by

April 30 / 18 We all have ambitions in our life. We want to set a goal and we’re not settling for less. People think ambition is a terrible thing when in reality it is not.
