  • Cicely Tyson (Great Memories)

    Cicely Tyson

    By: Cece Hymes

    I had a chance to read a Cicely Tyson book. It was a great book. I got a chance to get to know her a little bit more and her journey. As you know she was a great actress. She received three Primetime Emmy Awards, four black reel awards, one screen actor’s guild award, Tony award, an honorary academy award and a Peabody award. She was amazing. Here are some of the films she was in:

    ·         The Heart is a Lonely Hunter

    ·         Sounder

    ·         The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman

    ·         Roots

    ·         A Woman Called Moses

    ·         Diary of a Mad Black Woman

    ·         How to Get Away with Murder

    ·         The Help

    She was inducted into the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame in 1977. Did you know when she was born, doctors predicted she wouldn’t make it three months because of a murmur in her heart. We all know that she was a strong woman, and she left a mark in the world. Here are some of my favorite quotes by her:

    “Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew”

    “I have learned not to allow rejection to move me”

    “You never know what motivates you”

    “Age is just a number”

    Cicely Tyson was an Awesome woman she has been through a lot in her life but the roles she played touched our lives and she was a great actress. Make sure to check out her book “Just As I Am: A Memoir” and tell me what you think.

  • Do you believe in afterlife?

    Do you believe in an afterlife? If so, what do you think happens after we pass away?

    By: Cece Hymes

    I do believe in the afterlife. When being raised we learned if you were bad you were going to hell if you were good you were going to heaven. I always thought that was going to happen. I also think it is spirits that haunt us, and some spirits look over us.

    I believe that some of my family spirits like my mother and grandmother are looking over me. I feel like sometimes when I am talking about them that they are in the room.  I am trying to live right and get my life right. I believe in doing good deeds to be entered into the gate.

    So, what are your thoughts about the afterlife? Comment below.

    What Are Your Values and Beliefs

    When I think about values and beliefs I think of honesty and loyalty. Most people think of beliefs and think of their religion, but I don’t want to go the religion way with beliefs and values.

    Values and Beliefs -My values are definitely honesty, respect, kindness and believing in myself. Beliefs- Just making it happen, going after what you want. I can do anything I put my mind to.

    Let me know what your Values and Beliefs are. 

  • Lessons Learned

    Lessons I Learned in my, 20’s, 30’s, and now 40’s

    By: Cece Hymes

    Lessons I learned in my 20’s:

    Lessons I learned in these times was being a parent. That was the main lesson in my 20’s. The life of really being an adult. Paying bills, working, college, and figuring out life raising kids. That’s a lot in your 20’s. It was hard, but it was a learning process. Everyday was a learning process. You had to go with the routine of working, coming home and making sure the kids are good. It starts over the same process over and over again. These were the 20’s for me. For most people it was living life, going to campus parties, having fun and traveling. For me it was work, college, and parenting. Those were my Lessons in my 20’s.

    Lessons learned in 30’s

    Now in my 30’s still parenting but I travelled more. I started to get out and see the world. Invest in a business and save. I learned more about credit, loans, starting a business and finding my passion. I moved to different places and learned different things. I enjoyed life a little more.  I felt like in the 30’s I was wiser, stronger, and learning to be at peace. I found my passion and tried new foods and went to events. I opened my eyes to see more of life. We have a lot that went on in the 30’s, kids growing up, mom passed away, just going through more life struggles but learning the grieving part and being at peace in life. Trying to be more positive and do more in the community.

    Lessons learned in 40’s

    I am just starting my 40’s club. So far Life is bringing me to do more for women and the book club. I know in my 40’s I want to learn more about culture, community work and building a business. I want to also get into ownership. Hopefully I will have my own store where people can come into and also want to make money every day. I am going to work hard on learning the business part in my 40’s. Still Travel and learn about different parts of the world.

    Let me know some of your life lessons.
