Spirituality, learning from my precious gifts-my children, teaching African American history, reading voraciously (all types of subjects), maintaining my health, understanding and developing strategies to benefit the low-income, African American community, knitting and developing my talents and skills in spoken word and other areas of interest.
I've benefited from the love, support, and nurturing of an extended clan of family, friends, and colleagues and for that I feel and know that I am tremendously blessed. There are two people who have taught me the most about love, my children: Jonathan and Faith. They give unconditionally and teach me that with faith, hope, and love, anything is possible. This then, is my creed: faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not yet seen.
It's an innie and that describes me: very introspective.
