  • Let Love Rule Book by Lenny Kravitz with David Ritz

    Book: Let Love Rule

    Author: Lenny Kravitz with David Ritz

    By: CeCe Hymes

     

    I love reading people’s life stories on how they got to where they are today. The struggles, the experiences, and the journey. It motivates me that I can do anything I put my mind to. This Book was about Lenny Kravitz’s life. Starting from a child to a musician.

    I knew who Lenny Kravitz was, but I did not know much about who he was. Everyone has a story to tell. This book tells how he was raised in a mixed family and how he never gave up. He went through a lot with his family and growing up. He never let his dream and passion go. He went through times where he slept in his car, on floors and more. He had a good support system also and that’s always a good thing. When you have people pushing and believing in your work. This comes from “We Got to Let Love Rule”.

    Love is gentle as a rose

    And love can conquer any war

    It’s time to take a stand

    Brothers and Sisters join hands

    We got to let love rule

    Love transcends all space and time

    And love can make a little child smile

    Can’t you see this won’t go wrong

    But we got to be strong

    We can’t do it alone

    We got to let love rule

    Q. The weirdest thing about your family?

    I would say the weirdest part is that they don’t act like family. We don’t speak to each other like that, hang out, and it is more like we are friends than family. The friends seem more like family than friends. I just don’t understand it. Back in the days we had reunions, times where we all got together to play cards, family trips and things like that. Now it’s like we do all that with our friends.

     

    I would say that’s the weirdest thing about my family to me. We only reach out if we have questions or favors. Which it should be to tell secrets or to chat and things. You tell a secret to our family, and everyone will know. Nothing is kept just between the 2 of us.

  • The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa

    Book: The Worst Best Man

    Author: Mia Sosa

    I love a good Romance book. This book was good. It was about a Lady that goes by Lina and a guy named Max. Lina was engaged to be married to Max’s brother Andrew and things didn’t work out. She was a wedding planner and was going after this job. Come to find out she would have to work with Max. She was being rude at first thinking of the past but working together she learned a lot about Max. He pushed her in so many ways and also got her to open up and get things off her chest.

    It was like so many wrongs to be with your ex-fiancé brother but so many rights when it came to a good man, a man that’s worth keeping, a man that makes you feel things you don’t want to feel. They both want one thing but are scared in so many ways. They are always looking to please everyone else before they please themselves.

    The book was flirty, steamy, funny and shows you to be yourself.  I love great reads and can’t wait to read another book by this author. I also like romances that always start off rough but end well. It’s always the ones you don’t want to be attractive too but the ones that are there for you.

    Tell me your thoughts and if you could date a family member ex if that person was all you need to make you happy.

    A Memorable Stranger

    One day I was out with others, and we were feeding the homeless. We walked around the park we were at to let them know it was food up there and they could get some. Some were asleep and others were just laying there. This one man was on the bench and as we approached, he started talking to us about God and history. He had a book in his hand, and I just stood there and listened. He was very intelligent.

    Even in the state he was in he seemed to be happy, smart, and still sharing the word. I would never forget that moment and that stranger because no matter what situation you are in you still have to believe and know that something good is going to happen. He made me feel good and since then I told myself if I can help or do something in the community at least every 3 months than I am.

    With that being said everyone has a story and testimony, and you can never judge anyone. So that’s been my tradition to give if I can. This stranger opened my mind and heart in many ways, and he did not even know he did. His words and wisdom touched my soul.

    A Friend

    I had a friend I have known since I was 9 years old. I had the biggest crush on him. We would talk on the phone all the time. He could sing and he would sing to me all the time. We stayed friends all these years. He was a really cool dude.

    A couple years ago he passed away and it really hit me hard. All the memories, talks and just being friends for so many years. Any time I would go to my hometown I would always make sure to try to see him. I am thankful I did. You just never know when it’s your time.

    With that being said, tell your friends you love them, just pop up on them, see them if you can. Life is too short.
