I grew up in the Baptist Church, and going to church with my father; I remember being 8 years old, trying to determine whether I was really ready to give up sin, and for days I agonized.

I love what the church offers to us as a culture - black people in particular. We would be nowhere without the black church.

If you're sitting around waiting on somebody to save you, to fix you, to even help you, you are wasting your time because only you have the power to take responsibility to move your life forward.

Take the ideas that speak to you. Use your imagination. Create something wonderful.

The life you want is waiting to rise up to meet you ... Will you accept it? Do you feel worthy enough to accept it?

Taking care of your body, no matter what your age, is an investment.
