Whatever it is....let it be, Jill Scott could not have said that better! However, a vison without works is dead! Plan, prepare and persecute on all levels to the best of your ability! Yeah we don't alwys reach our goals and some plans fall through, but as long as you dream, and have goals....the rest will fall in place!

Auche' my brother!

i forgot

i will control my emotions and let stress take over me.

[Kevin Fulton]

i will remember how much the new me loves me and "STAY FOCUSED". knowing that the "SAME OLD SHIT" for me will bring "JAILS, INSTITUTIONS, OR DEATH".
i will remember that my most recent slip was, me, living in the world of make believe, thinking i could bump glasses of "HENNEY" and not be living in a world of make believe. Thanks " ASH", talking with you that night, was a good thang.
i will remember to embrace the " NEW ME ", and not let my past dictate my future, however, i will continue to soul search my past, and deal with any character defects in my life in order for me to become the " BEST I CAN BE ".

I WILL KEEP ON PURSUING MY DREAMS OF BECOMING A PUBLISHED AUTHOR AND POET, AND I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER TO STAY LOYAL TO URBAN ECHOES ENTERTAINMENT LLC., BECAUSE, THEY ARE, " IN TUNE WITH THE PULSE OF LIFE". ( Thanks Marcus Harris U.E.E.,LLC., Founder/CEO, for, "Keeping it Real" ).

[Londa B.]

You know as long as you continue to be you and do you at one hundred percent...what is for you will be! This universe is all about TIMING and until that time comes...you keep putting in the work. A real success story has a trunk full of stories. I got plenty of good and bad ones!!! LOL!

Keep on!

[DEBORAH THOMAS]

Congradulations on both fronts. Hope your new interst and your book works out.

[DEBORAH THOMAS]

Blessing to you too.

2007 was a horrible year for me and my kids, Had major problems with an acquaintance/landlord (and I'm being very VERY nice and it had nothing to do with her being tha landlord!) , lost job and housing, social services taking kids., etc.

But 2008 is definitely better. Got new apartment, got my kids back, got one book finally in the stores with a second to soon follow (just waiting on cover art). I know there is nothing but gong up from here. I am definitely blessed. I needed a correction course and got it BIG TIME.

GOALS FOR 2008:

HAVE MINIMUM OF FIVE BOOKS ON THE MARKET, two done, third gong to publisher soon and fourth being edited.
MARKET THE HELL OF OF MY BOOKS!!!

FINISH THREE MORE BOOKS. I've got three or four that are near completion.

PUT MONEY ASIDE FOR A DOWN ON A HOUSE! I say this every year and even had started it but for what ever reason, I've had to use it. I need to put it in something that I can't readily get to it.

RESTART MY BUSINESS AGAIN. Circumstances has forced me to put it on the back burner. It's now time to bring it forward and turn up the heat..
