A Children's Book About Space!

Have you ever prayed for something, but it took a while to manifest itself properly? A few years ago, it was my quest to write a children's book about space. After toiling through a period of research, I couldn't dissect the subject matter to where a child would understand it.

Well in 2014, I was presented with a perfect pitch and manuscript from  Wanda Harding about #space and the #heavens. With her background in planetary science, space, & earth science satellite missions/launches and her work experience as a Senior Mission Manager for #NASA & Technical Director for #NOAA, she was the #chosen and credentialed one to write this type of book for children.

#AKClassics proudly presents #WhenIConsiderGodsAmazingUniverse authored by Wanda J. Harding and illustrated/designed by Rick Daniel. To learn more or to purchase your copy, visit amazon.com, akclassicstories.com, or wandaharding.com.

Literacy is a Big Deal!

September is #NationalLiteracyAwarenessMonth! The #LiteracyCouncilofUnionCounty celebrated this occasion by recognizing student achievements and  thanking our community partners, tutors, and volunteers! Hearing the success stories of how some of our adult students have enrolled in school or received a better job or increased a reading level or understands their child's teacher or purchased a new home truly warms my heart. #LiteracyIsABigDeal! #SoProud #LiteracyBuildsStrongFamiliesAndCommunities

Spelling Is Spectacular

There is still charm in hearing words pronounced. There is appeal in hearing the derivation of words. There is wonder in hearing words used in a sentence. There is excitement in spelling words (particularly difficult ones) to see if they are spelled correctly. This is how I spent my Sunday afternoon in Athens, GA at the annual spelling bee for the Athens-Clarke Literacy Council. Kudos to all participating teams who gave it their all & to the winning team who spelled this word, vichyssoise!

Keep Writing Baby!

Today, I have been enthralled by the numerous posts paying homage to the dynamic and phenomenal woman, Dr. Maya Angelou. Although many are relaying their personal expressions, the most captivating ones to me are those written by everyday people like me who encountered her by happenstance. My experience with Dr. Angelou occurred on June 29, 2013, and this is what I wrote (on Facebook) that describes my reaction: My cup runneth over! Today, I heard the legendary Ms. Maya Angelou...captivating, poetic, wise, and courageous. Then I was introduced to her. She looked me in my eyes, held my hand, and said, "Keep on writing, baby!" Instantly, my eyes were filled with tears, and I am inspired even more to do as she requested. #MayaAngelouhasspoken! Other posts that I've read share a commonality of genuine encounters too! Her spirit resonated and lifted you, and her energetic touch poured into your soul just like her poetry. In my mind, Dr. Angelou was the true measure of a woman! She used her personal plight and the injustices of the world to enrich, nourish, enlighten, educate, empower, and inspire. Although her actual presence will be missed on earth, her testament to purposeful living and her masterful words will live on. #KeepWritingBaby!
