I don’t know where I get my strength from. If I had to attribute it to someone or anything, for that matter, it’d have to be God and my unfortunate life circumstances. I didn’t come from a family of strong men, women, or leaders. I didn’t have sit-downs or talks on how to be aContinue reading “Where I’m from, but not who I am”

Nothing to lose
Helping others win, is not going to cause you to lose. Any chance I get to help advance someone, I do it, because I want my extension to be the reason for their ascension. Then too, whatever is mine will be, so I don’t feel the need to keep people down, because I don’t wantContinue reading “Nothing to lose”
