This Is My Testimony!

I had the pleasure of being among some of the most inspirational people today, I am truly blessed! I kind of paused for a few minutes writing this because it brings tears to my eyes thinking about how my life was playing out just a few years ago. I toyed with the idea of ending it all and giving up because at the time I was going through a lot. I had a lot of emotional baggage I was knee deep in. But ultimately giving up and letting it over come me just wasn't something I wanted to be remembered by. So I picked myself up and made the most important call to God because he was not done with me. And he's still not...we're all works in progress.

Now I would like to give the biggest shout out to my girl!!!!! Patrina!!!!!! Thank you, thank you, so much for your surfing abilties...I know I've said that to you but I had to repeat myself! As my momma would say "you are an awesome chick"!

Patrina offered me a guest spot of her radio show entitled "Suited For Success" on KGCM Radio (kgcmradio.com) today and I was able to be in the same presents of some truly amazing people. I thank God everyday for the directions my path crosses, and the people I come in contact with along the way. I am truly BLESSED!!!!!

God Is Good, Just In Case You Didn't Know It!

Long Time No Post

How do you make time for everything you commit to in your life? How do you pick and choose the things you want to commit to? Do you choose one over the other? These are the questions I've been asking myself lately. I have been so consumed with my involvement with TX Supports Jena Six which is now Equal Justice and have completely lost touch with this site as well as Raising Chefs and all the other sites I'm attached to. Not to mention my family. They've supported all my efforts with this new title of ACTIVIST that I so proudly wear, but they have suffered as well. My youngest for two weeks failed her spelling test and I know with my attention elsewhere she slipped through the cracks.

I have so much left to do with the book, but I'm not trying to rush myself. I know I've told people that the book will be out this year. Well, it's looking like the early part of 08 Raising Chefs might see the light. Self-Publishing is an uphill battle when you're on a somewhat fixed income. (Living paycheck to paycheck) Even though the initial fee with the company that I'm in partnership with has been paid. However, the package that I opted for didn't include the book layout and I need a professional to complete my layout, I'm but a amateur.

With that said, it took me almost 2 years to come up with the initial fee so with the upgrade for the layout it'll probably take me another few months. I'm also looking to purchase my own high performance 10 mega pixel camera and lighting equipment to take the food insert photos for my book. If I hired a photographer for that, boy...it would be another 2 years before the book could be on your kitchen shelf.

Wish me luck!!!

Met w/G. Garvin

I had the most wonderful time yesterday @ the Ebony's Black Family Reunion Tour in Dallas. I had the opportunity to meet with G. Garvin and his producers and was able to share with them a little bit about the book and show them some samples of my food. Let me just say, THEY ALL LOVED IT!!! THANK YOU GOD!!!!! If you dream it and work on that dream, THEY WILL COME....TRUST IN HIM!!!!! Love yall!

Monumental Movement

I'm not sure if you've heard the story about the Jena Six boys in Jena, Louisiana. If you haven't heard of this please Google Jena Six and read up on it. The reason I'm bringing this to your attention is because there's going to be a national protest in Jena, La on September 20th. I first time heard about the protest and the story was on the Michael Baisden Radio show. I have since volunteered to organize travel for the Dallas/Fort Worth area in support for the Jena Six. So if you're interested in a seat on the buses that will be traveling down, please call my voicemail # @ 817-349-3602 letting me know how many seats you'll need. There's information posted below so please access those resources. And if there's anything else you'd like to do the help please let me know. Thanks for your time is the urgent matter.
