The power of inspiration

An elderly woman read two of my poems’ years ago then she went into her purse and pulled out this dollar and told me to always carry it with me and when the world knows me, pull it out and remember where I came from…. After that she pulled out three pieces of cloth that her father gave her from Africa years ago that represent Power, Love, and Money and let me touch them. This experience was before I wrote and published my first book. I Still have work to do to achieve the level of success that I am for as an artist, but I take it out from time to time along my journey to remind myself where I came from.
