This book is filled with sayings from my mother and how today I’ve been able to gain wisdom from her words and sayings in which some, I couldn’t identify with at the time. Now some of these sayings you may have heard before, especially if you’re African American and your parents were raised in the South. Then some of these sayings were created out of the vortex of my mother’s creative mind to help her deal with our everyday challenges. I decided to translate many of the sayings I was raised on and saturate them with my humor, wit and discernment to offer up my enlightened perspective birthed out of my own evolution.
