    It is wonderful to read about your accomplishments as a best-selling author. Something I hope to be someday. I've written the book, "Spirit Led Conscience Guided" an autobiography. I too was a victim of domestic voilence. The world needs someone like you. You are a blessing to many.

    The reason I am contacting you is to invite you as a friend. It would be a pleasure to have you as such.

    Hello dear member of the Black Feminist/Womanist Literature group! It's J., the admin., and I'm writing to inform you of the group's new look! (And it goes beyond the change in our group picture, though it is nice, don't you agree?) :) What we're discussing now: Patricia Hill Collins' Black Feminist Thought, Toni Morrison's Sula for our July read, our little BIG Read: 7 short stories in 7 days to begin later this month, the National Black Arts Festival where Alice Walker and Pearl Cleage are featured speakers, and more!

    We'll soon have a group blog up and running, will begin profiling the uberly dynamic authors within our own group, discussing women's/girls action coalitions in your city, reviving some of our good ol' threads, etc.

    I challenge everyone to invite at least one friend (already a member of shelfari or otherwise) to join the Black Feminist/Womanist Literature group and to log in at least bi-weekly. (Though weekly would be wonderful!) And I pledge to do the same.

    And did you know that Toni Morrison's new novel, A Mercy, is due to be released in November? Ah, you would if you'd visited our group page! (No, actually, I haven't posted this information. lol) But do stop by and fall into the purple haze that is extraordinary literature by feminists of color!

    Love, Jaya

    A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were talking at a reunion and decided to go visit their old university professor, now retired. During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives. Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and an assortment of cups-porcelain, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite -- telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate.

    When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor said:
    'Notice that all the nice looking; expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

    The cup that you're drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each others cups.

    Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life. The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality of life you have. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate we have.

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything that they have.

    Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.. Thank the Lord for your blessings in 2008. And enjoy your hot chocolate!

    I like this message!

    “The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything that they have!”

    Hi Dorothy, so good to hear from you. Things have been going well, i've been pretty busy this year, so it's a good thing. I won't be attending BEA this year, but i will be at the Romantic Times Convention and NBCC in Atlanta in August. So what's been up for you...you heading to Atlanta any time soon?

    Hi Dorothy,
    I hope you plan to annual the 25-th annual RT BOOKLOVERS Convention that will be in Pittsburgh this year at the Hilton Hotel (April 16-20,2008). I don't know how close Philly is to Pittsburgh, but in addition to workshops for aspiring authors and the nightly costumes parties, the convention is hosting a book signing with more than 300 authors, including me, on Saturday, April 19th from 11 am to 1 pm. I'm asking you and your friends to come out and support the authors, but especially stop by my table and pick up a copy of Guilty of Love.
    You can visit their website at www.RTconvention.com.
    My website is www.GUILTYOFLOVE.com.
    I really hope you and your friends can come to support me.
    Pat
