Thank you!

These two words of gratitude are my salute to the life you lived as a woman, a mother, a black woman, a pioneer in television and film, an outspoken voice against injustice… and an anomaly of grace that rested on your shoulders like the brilliance of diamonds.

I watched you from afar… never having the privilege to grace your bigger than life persona in any personal setting. But I smile often now, thinking you were one of those super heroines that would live forever in the earth.

Learning from Mr. Boseman’s Life

I deeply appreciate that Mr. Chadwick Boseman kept his private life PRIVATE. The shock across social media speaks volumes to me.

After all, the culture of the world today is one of excessive nosiness and commentary.

I love that we did not know he was battling cancer. The only thing people would do anyway would make it gossip, release conjecture, draw tabloid conclusions and keep the diagnosis before him day and night in the media – with crazy memes, gossip talk show rags, and on the lips of coffee tables around the country.

I appreciate How profound His public silence spoke after His death. He declared from a high place: “Only those who love me and are invested in my life need know that I am dying.”

PART I: I AM NOT LOOKING

Posted on by Theresa Harvard Johnson

I suffered from rejection so severely in my life that I needed practical ways to overcome it. Prayer, healing sessions, prophecy and laying on of hands wasn’t working at the depth I needed — and my “rejected self” was ruining so many relationships and sabotaging friendships left and right.
