WHAT I REMEMBER MOST ABOUT MY MOM...

HER LAUGH...VERY CONTAGIOUS -
A GREAT COOK AND BAKER-
HER STRAWBERRY SHORT CAKE-
HER COCANUT CAKE WITH LEMON FILLING-
HER LEMON MERINGUE PIE...ALL FROM SCRATCH.

THE SADDEST THING I REMEMBER ABOUT MY MOM IS SEEING HER CRY.

THE SADDEST THING I HEARD HER SAY IS, "I LOVED YOUR FATHER".THE BEST THING SHE TOLD ME IS- YOU CAN BE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO BE.

I THOUGHT I WANTED TO BE A PEDIATRITION - NOT NOW!

I AM AN ACTRESS WRITER DIRECTOR - I AM HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL WITH SO MUCH MONEY I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH - SO I SHARE - WITH THE GOOD AND TRUE PEOPLE -

WHY DO BLACK MEN MAKE IT SO DIFFICULT FOR WOMEN, WHITE MEN THE SAME - IN FACT ALL MEN- DON'T THEY KNOW HOW VALUABLE WE ARE?

THEY SHOULD TREAT US BETTER- THAT'S WHY WE MUST BE GOOD TO OURSELVES FIRST, A NOVEL IDEA FOR MOST WOMEN, INCLUDING MEN, PARTICUARLY THOSE OF A CERTAIN AGE.

REMEMBER, NO ONE IS GOING TO LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU LOVE YOURSELF, NOR SHOULD THEY...

THEY MAY ADORE YOU, HOLD YOU IN THEIR ARMS AND WHISPER SWEET NOTHINGS IN YOUR EAR. SHARE IN FABULOUS SEX...AND ALL THAT'S PERFECTLY OK, YET REMEMBER, ALWAYS, YOU ALWAYS HAVE YOU!
