Dreams are so powerful.  When our children dream that's saying a lot more than you might imagine.  Our children are our now and the future.  It is very important to support their efforts, their inspirations, and their vision. Some of our secret joys are found in helping others.  If you truly want change to happen you're looking at it every day.  The answer lies within the young bright minds of our children.  If you want our youth to continue dreaming, then dream with them both by sharing your fervent dreams, and by diving in with heart first to help them discover the amazing things about their own.  I strongly recommend this exhilarating feature of two friends Jo Joe and Wynton penned by my grandson Fred L. Threats, Jr.   This children's book will make an extraordinary holiday gift.   It's a story about a determined young boy who faces unfriendly attacks as he seeks to put his best foot forward.  Sadly, he's bullied because he's unique.  He's mocked for just

  Normal people don’t go around trying to destroy other people.  Furthermore, strong people don’t put others down.  Take a step back and put yourself in the other person’s shoes.  Then ask yourself would you want someone to treat you the way you’re treating others?  The answer is no.  First and foremost you wouldn’t be able to handle it.  Especially, if you have to plot and hide behind despicable shady lies. Then sit back and listen to what others are saying or thinking about another because of your mischief. Other people aren’t dumb and you’re not smart. If you don’t feel some kind of awful “did your mama teach you anything”?  Probably not if you think it’s a sport and you’re winning.   To the strong sistas, you may encounter many vicious attacks, but it may be necessary so you can know who you are, what you can rise above, and who you wouldn’t want to be. დ A touch of love from, Sunshine & Rainbows

This is an article that I wrote for "Southern Dallas Business & Living Magazine", November 2013. Forgiveness This Thanksgiving as we meditate on the many blessings bestowed upon us pause for a minute and dwell on forgiveness.  In forgiveness, we give ourselves the freedom to be peaceful and to receive joy in abundance. As I reflect back on Mega Fest 2013, it was a really beautiful Thursday morning in the metroplex.  The sun was blushing, excitement filled the air and I was thrilled to be attending Oprah’s “Lifeclass”.   I availed myself to be empowered by this wonderful experience.  As I approached, the Victory Avenue/Hi-Line Dr. exit into the American Airline Center the traffic was endless.  I knew I was in for a treat.   Back down Memory Lane: It’s about 9:30 a.m. and Oprah & Bishop T.D. Jakes takes to the stage.  The crowd erupts applauding and cheering a warm welcome to these two great teachers.  The lesson being taught here today was the exact same message I had

  Happy Thanksgiving From my family to yours! May the blessings of this day fill your heart and home with good cheers. დ A touch of love from, Sunshine & Rainbows

If the older me could talk to the younger me.  Girl, you are the boss!  You were knitted together in your mother’s womb.  You are wonderfully and fearfully made. You are fearless give everything you have to what you believe.  Despite what others may do or think always put one foot in front of the other and slay your way to your destiny.  Trust in the Lord and lean not unto your own understanding.  Be respectful and loyal to what is right.  Use your moral compass to keep you from getting lost. It’s easy to stray in the wrong direction, you know.  Especially when wrong feels like right.  It isn’t until you’re paying the consequences later on that you begin to realize. I would tell her to make friends with other young girls and together build each other up.  Play dress up, compliment, and applaud each other.      I would tell her I am who I am today because the advice I am sharing was the advice given to me.  It is because of this advice that I am a happy, peaceful, successful, confident
