Eat and drink your greens everyday.
Trust your gut.
Take the time to study and research.
Establish boundaries, and don’t let others cross them.
Hide a little money in the mattress.

A few months ago I read Just As I Am, Cicely Tyson’s autobiography. This book was published January 26, 2021, two days before Ms. Tyson left this earth. I knew very little about her prior to reading her book. Its pages are full of honest insight on the beautiful, yet at times trying life that she lived. This woman was elegant, dignified and beautiful. Reading her words made me think of my strong, dignified grandma who left this place many years ago. Cicely Tyson, just like my grandma, was a woman of integrity and wisdom. It was a privilege to read about her life in her words.
