Love Your Life: The Dropped Jewel Of The Day (August 23, 2019)

Buy Black Fridays“The function, the very serious function of racism, is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being. Somebody says you have no language and you spend 20 years proving that you do. Somebody says your head isn’t shaped properly so you have scientists working on the fact that it is. Somebody says you have no art, so you dredge that up. Somebody says you have no kingdoms, so you dredge that up. None of this is necessary. There will always be one more thing.” -Toni Morrison

Fly Quotes: Gabourey Sidibe

Gabourey Sidibe Queen Hoodie“I don’t think it’s funny when people stuff pillows in their clothing to look like me. I don’t think it’s funny when people paint their faces to look like me. I don’t think it’s funny when a stranger calls me a fat bi*!h no matter what they’re offering to do for me. I don’t think it’s funny that I’m not allowed to say that my feelings are hurt. Feelings aren’t an absence of strength. I know this for sure. So why should I pretend to have a sense of humor just to allow someone else to take a sot at me?” -Gabourey Sidibe

Fly Quotes: Rita Moreno

Rita Moreno“Finding work was no easier s I passed from middle age into senior-citizen status, but I continued to persevere. Staying active and persevering is part and parcel of the character of a performer. You always have to be able to get up, dust yourself off, and move forward.” -Rita Moreno

Love Your Life: The Dropped Jewel Of The Day (July 23, 2019)

Get Off My Wings Logo“Very often, lack of focus is caused by fear. Lack of focus/fear means you can find a million reasons not to do what you say you want to do. Lack of focus/fear means if you do what you say you just might succeed.

Success means you would move out and beyond your comfort zone. Somehow, somewhere, deep inside, that is frightening. The key is if you would just stay focused, all of these frightening little details would miraculously be taken care of. Before you know it, you would be exactly where you say you want to be.” -Iyanla Vanzant
