He is to be congratulated for not only winning this race, but for enduring such odds like racism and exclusion. It is with this determining spirit I honor him.

On Preparing Yourself for Love

Everyone wants the most wonderful love relationship. Everyone! Today, take the time to develop the capacity within yourself for the kind of love you want. Many relationships happen by default, which is often the reason we find so much hurt, rather than joy in love. It is essential that you hold precious some time to go deep within yourself to get to know the special kind of love you feel; and to prepare your heart, mind and soul for that love. In that way, you will recognize the love you want when you meet it. Awaken yourself to the love you desire. Start Now!
“When you find love, you find yourself.”
