Day 5 Topic Blue
By: Cece Hymes
When I think of blue
I think of the sky
How beautiful it is
And how it’s so high
I think about the angels
That’s watching over me
In this blue sky
With clouds of Memories
I like the color blue
Its my daughter favorite color too
Also make me think of the beach
The sound of waves and relaxing
With sand in my feet
Let’s celebrate what blue means
The sky and the beach
Two relaxing things
That brings us peace

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 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.
Book: Uphill
Author: Jemele Hill
By: Cece Hymes
I got a chance to read this book about Jemele Hill about her life and how she got to where she is today. I didn’t know much about who she was. I have seen her a couple of times on social media. I love reading people’s bio and learning about their life. What interests me about her is that she was in journalism and sports.
I am a journalist and getting more into sports. So I wanted to get to know more about her story. The book was very interesting. She went through a lot growing up and watching her parents go through hard times. I like that she speaks her mind freely. She doesn’t fake it for anyone. She always liked to write but never thought she would be into writing for a living. She has been on ESPN and other positions as a reporter.
We all go through things growing up and it’s not where you have been but it’s where you are going and what you decide to change in your life. I am glad she didn’t let her childhood put her in a bad place and that she was aware and kept going in life. This book was great and now that I know more about her life and journey, she has gained a fan with me. I did take some notes and tips on growing and getting more involved with sports and events.
Make sure to check the book out and let me know what you think.
What type of Legacy do you want to leave/carry before your time is up?
The Legacy I want to leave to my family is business and ownership of things. I want them to have something that continues down the line entrepreneurship. This will carry the name on forever from generations and generations. My business is one I will teach them everything they need to know about ownership and running a business.
Schools don’t teach kids those things we as a generation need to be taught. Business wealth goes a long way.
Let me know what you plan to leave behind.
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.
