What it takes to do what I do everyday.

Acting Skills, Teaching Skills, Writing Skills, Healing Skills, Reading Skills, Math Skills, Cooking Skills, Believing in the impossible skills. And most importantly Binge Drinking Skills.
Not everyone can do it.. and only the Greats
(Like me) can do it well.. Being a Mother, A wife, A lover, a fighter, a Narrator, A director, a teacher of fine human skills is hard work.. And this is how I do it. Or try anyway.

No. 2857

On December 1, 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, Parks, age 42, refused to obey bus driver James Blake's order that she give up her seat to make room for a white passenger.
I have heard people on the Utah Trax system refuse to get up for elderly, women or children. Not thinking anything of it. Just an ordinary human downfall. But on this particular day it wasnt an ordinary Refusal of someone with Tired feet. Just wanting to sit down for a few minutes. It was a commited stand, committed to stand up for her rights as a women and as an african american person. She Was refusing to stand up to give her seat up to a white passenger. Her being committed to her rights and beliefs was arrested and thrown in jail. Injustice, prejudice and down right cruelty.
   Dear Rosa Parks,
             Thank you.
