A Few Words From Michelle

This weekend I had a most wonderful experience. I went to see Rain Pryor, daughter of Richard Pryor. She did a one woman show, that  proved to be simply mesmerizing. Her show was a mixture of comedy (she does a fabulous imitation of her Dad), nakedly truthful monologues about growing up in a radical, mixed race family. Perhaps the most moving number was a song she sang to her father, who passed away 4 months ago. The show is called "Fried Chicken and Latkes" since she is half Jewish and half Black. Considering the craziness of her upbringing, Rain is a talented comic, singer and actress who provides a great night of entertainment. If you have a chance, do catch her act!

All Good Thoughts

The best index to a person's character is (a) how he treats people who can't do him any good,
and (b) how he treats people who can't fight back.
Abigail Van Buren

Happiness is to be found along the way, not at the end of the road, for then the journey is over and it is too late. Today, this hour, this minute is the day, the hour, the minute for each of us to sense the fact that life is good, with all of its trials and troubles, and perhaps more interesting because of them.
Robert R. Updegraff

You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.

Inspirational Reading

Thinking by Charlie "Tremendous" Jones

- People who know the most, know they know so little, while people who know nothing want to take all day to tell it to you.

- Self-improvement can be harmful if you are doing it to look better. If you live your life in helping others look better, you'll be better without trying.

- If you give to get something, you're not really giving you are trading. Giving is never to get, because you have it and are not aware of how much you have until you give.

- Big people are always giving someone credit and taking blame; little people are always seeking credit and giving blame.

- Don't worry about having to make a right decision. Make it and then work to make it right.

- An attitude of gratitude flavors everything you do. Learning to be thankful is the golden thread woven through every truly successful life.
