SYNOPSIS OF BOOK

The Unfolding of a Rose details the life of my daughter, Meta Rose, who died of breast cancer. It chronicles her life from early childhood to the last moments of her life. Meta was many things to many people--a mother, designer, and businesswoman. But first and foremost, she loved people. Experience her humor, delight in her enthusiasm, and empathize with her struggles. You will also discover how this book grew out of deep-seated pain, grief, and sorrow that I experienced in coping with her death. It challenged my faith, questioned my worthiness, and touched the core of my being. Read the book, walk with us, cry with us--rejoice with us.


"What Inspired you to write this book?"

"I wrote The Unfolding of a Rose because I believe my daughter's story should be told. Every person has a specific purpose for living. That purpose is to give to the world, thoughts, words and experiences that no other person can give. Each person's individuality is unique to himself. These expressions of individuality should not be a hindrance to the world, but should help make it a better place to live--thoughts that establish hope, faith, courage, strength, persistence and a sense of well-being, no matter what the circumstances are. These in turn, help everyone gain a higher sense of what life is--the divine activity of thought. The Unfolding of a Rose is my daughter's and my gift to the world."

Leadership: What Makes It Strong or Weak?

Why do I raise this question? There seems to be many factions of this country "zeroing-in" on who is a strong leader and who is not. It is easy to toss around phrases of strong, weak, or non-existent leadership abilities, without letting the listener know the factors used in making this determination. The speaker assumes that the listener 's definition parallels with his, even though the listener does not know what his is, and he has not bothered to state it.

After reading several definitions o… Continue

"The mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work unless it's open"

"The mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work unless it's open". ~from Wise Quotes and Sayings

Mamie, I feel your reaching out to people that have lost a loved one is a very worthwhile and needed in our society. Per our discussion; communication and coping with the lost of a loved one should really be taught in the schools and churches. Therefore, people will have some understanding about these sensitive areas before they happen iin their lives which in many cases is 30-50 years later. Thus it… Continue

Let Us Remember!

It was only a few months ago when the world's financial systems were on the brink of collapse, corruption and greed unfolded daily on Wall Street, and our name was "mud" throughout the world. The deficit was 1.2 trillion dollars and most of the country wanted "change." Well guys, we are getting change, and that change is a great sacrifice for all of us. Nothing good comes easy. It sometimes requires one to cut off his arm (not really) and pull himself up by his bootstraps. Where is our strength,… Continue

META (Her energy and spirit lives on).

Out of the mist, the frozen abyss came a soul,
From the mind of God thrust forth a living soul
Clamping on to humanity, this God spirit became a living soul,
Entering beautifully, she, like a rosebud showed us a spirited soul.

Mind, body and spirit coalesced as she grew,
Mind, body and spirit expressed as she became aware.
Mind, body and spirit influenced her society as part of the crew,
Mind, body and spirit shaped itself as she prepared to share.

A beautiful essence, a soulful delight,
Escal… Continue

Reaching Out and Touching a Friend

Evil disappears under the microscope of goodness. Wow, what a statement! What does it mean? I am sure it means different things to different people. Let me see if I can put it into perspective.

What is a workable definition for evil? Webster defines evil as that which is "immoral, wicked" or "bad." I like to think of evil as that which is erroneous, and erroneous is defined as "a supposition that pleasure and pain, that intelligence, substance, life, are existent in matter" (Science and Health… Continue

What the World Needs Now Is Love

"What the World Needs Now Is Love," a song written by Hal David and recorded by Jackie DeShannon, struck an emotional chord with the world in 1965. It was a time when violence was increasing, long-established values were disappearing, and a sense of morality taken lightly. Children were questioning the wisdom of their parents in new ways, and a sub-culture was emerging in America. This caused people to cling to what they knew and understood, and fight changing attitudes and practices. One can co… Continue

That Five-Letter Word Called "Anger!"

Anger is being held up as a force that is driving change--a force that moves one to positive results. That is far from the truth! Positive action yields positive results. Anger is a strong emotion that breeds displeasure and resentment. It clouds one's thinking--preventing sound, logical judgment. Daily people are commenting on networks with profanity, screaming in town-hall meetings with denigration and lies, and maligning individuals without a cause. Anger leads to hate, and hate breeds insani… Continue
