To Get Inside!

What must I go through to get inside!

Walking With My Heart!

I know I have not been the same person for some time now. Today I know why. I am walking with my heart and not my head.

My Mother's Flowers

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; They just make the most of everything they have.

Up Close with the Homeless in Atlanta

I met P. A. on Peachtree Street while she was looking through the trash can trying to find something to eat. It was a hot humid day and she was tired from walking from trash can to trash to no avail for a tasty dinner. She has been living on the street for many years.

Don't Tell Me What I Can't Do!

Mrs. Davis don't like to be told what she can't do. She gets up at four o'clock and drives to work to clock in by six 0'clock each morning. She is a designer and is working on making a pea coat. She is learning Spanish, has four websites, refill the machines for her vending company, writes poetry and still finds time to paint landscapes to name just a few of the things she does. Did I say she will be 92 in October!

Greatness In Me!

Maturity includes the recognition that no one is going to see anything in us that we don't see in ourselves.

My Journey

A journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step!

It's one thing to make a picture of what a person looks like, it's another thing to make a portrait of who they are. - Paul Caponigro

You Are Your Own Best Friend!

Be your own best friend and love that friend. Never ever, put yourself down or minimize your self worth for anyone.

Dark And Lonely Is No Where I Want To Be!

I am here and you fail to acknowledge me as well as my worth. You want me here as long as I am in the shadows. You need me here to take on many forms of what is necessary for you. Which one of me will you need today!

This Morning!

I had the ocean wash my feet while the sun bathe my face. The wind gently enfold me with love and as it passed it left whispers of sweet nothings in my hear.

On A Limb!

I'm never afraid to go out on a limb. That's where all the fruit is!

On The Inside!

I may be damaged and dented but there is something sweet and delicious on the inside!

My Story

There is no agony like bearing an untold story inside of you-- Maya Angelou

Where Men Gather

Achiving 100 - Louise Ricks

Mrs. Ricks was telling me who was in the pictures on the table. She is the only one still living from those family photos. There is a photo of her parents, sisters and brothers. Many of the photos are over 100 years old. The photos include her grandparents and great grandparents. She knows the value of family photos and the history the photos hold.

Achiving 100 - Louise Ricks

Mrs. Ricks is 98 1/2 years young. She will become a centenarian on July 17th, 2012. She still rides MARTA to her doctor appointments and they find it hard to believe that she comes alone. She says it is hard for her not to be independent. She cooks for herself and is looking forward to planting her own garden on 'Good Friday.'

I Miss You!

My eyes miss seeing you, my lips miss kissing you, my ears miss hearing you, my arms miss hugging you. My heart loves you more. I miss you!

I've Learned To Fly!

When you fall, you fly!!! When you step off, get ready to fly!!! I now can fly like an eagle!

Reaching For You God!

Lord I need YOU! Like never before, I need YOU!
