She is…

Iconic. Funny. Inspiring. She is Lucille Ball.

I have loved Lucy for years. She taught me about comedy through the show I Love Lucy. She made me laugh. She showed me what you could do if you don’t give up. You do things your way. You stay true to yourself.

She is…

Singer. Actress. Poet. She is Jill Scott.

One of my favorites is No 1 Ladies Detective Agency where she was Precious Ramotswe. She was a woman trying to make it in a man’s world. She was smooth as silk and inspired others.

But she is more than the characters she plays. She is strength, passion and humor.

When You Think He Is Done

He is just getting started. Naomi thought her life was over. Her husband was dead. Her sons were dead. There was nothing left to live for. She went home to die.

Instead she found a daughter-in-law who would not desert her. She found a God who would not desert her. He made her later years better than her beginning.
