"I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better."    --Plutarch

I saw this quote and I was reminded of some really good friends that I have. These aren't yes friends; friends who will tell me what I need to hear.  These are friends who will tell the truth, when I need to hear the truth. They tell me what I need to hear, whether I want to hear it or not. I don't get upset because I know it's always coming from a good place; I know that they want me to do better, to be better, and to get what I deserve. 

Note to self

Life doesn't always go as we had planned. Stay in prayer; the best outcome has already been determined. Just allow it to happen, and participate with God by thanking Him and believing.--Steve H. Demuth
( my best friend, and strongest shoulder)

The best outcome has already been determined. The best outcome has already been determined. I love that sentence. The best outcome has already been determined. God is already at work on whatever it is that I'm concerned about!

Favorite song (on my headphones) all day

we've lost another Civil Rights Icon

“Greatness is not measured by what a man or woman accomplishes, but by the opposition he or she has overcome to reach his goals.”

— Dorothy Heights

Dorothty Height died early this morning from natural causes at Howard University Hospital. The former president of the National Council of Negro Women was 98.

Ms. Height was among the coalition of African American leaders who pushed civil rights to the center of the American political stage after World War II, and she was a key figure in the struggles for school desegregation, voting rights, employment opportunities and public accommodations in the 1950s and 1960s.
Ms. Height was president of the National Council of Negro Women for 40 years, relinquishing the title in 1997. The 4 million-member advocacy group consists of 34 national and 250 community-based organizations. It was founded in 1935 by educator Mary McLeod Bethune, who was one of Ms. Height’s mentors.
As a civil rights activist, Ms. Height participated in protests in Harlem during the 1930s. In the 1940s, she lobbied first lady Eleanor Roosevelt on behalf of civil rights causes. And in the 1950s, she prodded President Dwight D. Eisenhower to move more aggressively on school desegregation issues. In 1994, Bill Clinton awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor.
