Last month we were capable
I am able
In addition to being capable of doing something, You are able to do it. This month as we celebrate Black History and see all that our ancestors accomplished, remind yourself that you are able.
You have power, skill, proficiency, and intelligence to accomplish the tasks before you. You have the means and the opportunity.
Tell yourself this every day and watch how your life changes.

Destiny’s Dilemma
An African American woman moved home to take care of her dying mother giving up the opportunity to experience a world beyond segregation. Zoraida Hughes Williams finds that some things have changed about her hometown of Fort Worth, Texas while some have stayed the same, like Hell’s Half Acre, an area where saloons, prostitution and gambling runs wild. Like most of the residents, she wants to keep her head down and stay away from trouble, but it comes in the unlikely form of an Anglo Baptist preacher. He messes up everything and almost gets them killed.

TV Show of the Week
This is a Regina recommendation. I mean I have watched it and thought it was amusing, but she is a fan. I am still on the fence (only because some of the characters are annoying) But the story has it moments where it is funny.
If kind of reminds me of Mary Tyler Moore in and I’m Gonna Get You Sucka kinda of way. The main character has a good heart in a very naïve kinda way surrounded by a cast of characters that..well. You need to experience them for yourself. I am sure you will find a favorite in one of them.
Try this show. It is on ABC.
