"Health is the greatest gift, contentment is the greatest wealth, a trusted friend is the best relative,
a liberated mind is the greatest bliss." - Buddha
I love sharing a truth with you all......and I think that quote is a truth. It has been an amazing day, we didn't get much sleep last night because of the gig. We had to get up early, because Rick had an author's event......honestly, I could have stayed home, and my body so needed the rest......but for some reason I felt compelled to go. Many good things happened today, including seeing old friends.....but the best thing that happened.......I got to spend time with Judge Helen Shores Lee.
Her father was a trailblazer in the Civil Rights movement. She and her sister, Barbara have written a book about him, and their lives growing up in Birmingham during the sixties. Honestly, there should be a book written about the Judge.
She was an absolute delight, I was so glad that I listened to my heart and went with Rick to the event.
The book is available on Amazon, the title The Gentle Giant of Dynamite Hill. I urge you to pick up a copy and read it.
Wishing you all a peaceful Saturday night, a restful Sunday.

Great quote by Buddha, it's true...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you listened to your heart and that you felt good about going to the gig.
That judge sounds like a remarkable lady.
Have a great weekend.

Love the Buddha quote and I also love how listening to that small voice in our hearts has us going in directions we didn't even imagine. Wait, now I sound like Buddha! Ha! Glad you were able to go and enjoy a fun evening!
ReplyDeleteAfter reading about the Judge on your husband's blog and now yours, I've written down her book to add to my list. And to think, I might never have heard of her book if not for blogs!
