This intelligently candid talk with Mrs. Tewantae Green-Douglas is enlightening, empowering and inspiring. Even as an older woman—I am inspired by her words and wisdom! “Culturally we must be a resource to our neighbors” in our communities. And if we don’t do the work—we can’t be an overcomer from those things that would otherwise keep us bound and behind.

We can’t continue to minimize the impact of traumatic experiences—and the necessity of therapy. “The gift of therapy is communication because oftentimes—communication is what we are missing.”

Do the work to be your best—give yourself to cause—and do so unapologetically!

For many years now, I have been writing books about my life—trials, trauma, heartbreak, heartache—healing, growth—and triumphs. And though I have shared these stories from the perspective of my adulthood—I never returned back to the one person that needed acknowledgement, healing and love spoken into her—so that she could finally get her closure. The “little girl” that held on to me—the “girlie” that deserved more love, attention, and protection than what was afforded her. She finally gets her Love Letter.🌹

Thank you! Although, this is an impromptu—interim response to varied responses, feedback and specific questions concerning the two quotes that I shared from our last Podcast, “Love by Any Other Name”, and the reference to my upcoming book project—We hope you enjoy it. And our hope is that you will join us for the official “LIVE” esp. 2 from “Love by Any Other Name.” That date will be announced soon! We can’t wait to join you for Talks@Christie’s Place.

Correction: Pastor Jamaal Bernard was the name meant to be referenced/credited for the “Super Saints” phrase.
Following last week’s podcast: “Love By Any Other Name”, I received more than a few questions, and comments concerning the two quotes that I shared from my upcoming book—coming out later in 2025. This is not a full—official Episode part 2 from last week’s podcast—but merely a quick response via a (imperfect) “Reading”📖—to add context and to answer those specific questions. It’s our hope that this impromptu response will not only serve up more context—but also stir up more conversation.

The quotes mentioned are from an upcoming book that tells a story of “love” in ways that we may not necessarily associate with a “love-story.” It’s compelling, revealing, and healing.

When our plans for tomorrow are seized by something today. I have new (personal) revelation about “boasting” about tomorrow. There is something that you need to do today—- perhaps get started today because it can’t happen tomorrow.🌹🙏🏾

As I pondered my first broadcast of the new year, the topic of Christmas, God, the gift-Jesus being the genuine Hallmark of Love rose to the top.

Giving birth to that “thing” that is within you—that thing—your purpose, requires reflection, response, and resilience. Your journey in life is aligned to your purpose and regardless of the obstacles, challenges and setbacks that will inevitably happen— you can push your dreams, visions and creativity into life. Be reflective, be responsive, and be resilient.
