The year was 1982...and I was with a few friends over a DJ's house when he was previewing new music. He pulled out the Debarge record, "I Like It" and we were all in El's trance. We wondered like everyone else...is that Switch? Nope...after looking on the back-cover of the album. It was Bobby and Tommy DeBarge's younger siblings. We listened over and over again until we all knew the words and could sing along. Not noticing the time...it was two hours later and past my curfew. Needless to say, the week on punishment was well worth it. I sang, "I Like It," ...
Feel Good: Are You a Bionic Woman?
Remember the 70's TV show The Bionic Woman? I use to love that show. Watching a smart, savvy and strong woman take on the bad guys and win was awesome. I had all the toys; the doll, her blow up house (that took all Christmas Morning to inflate), her bionic station, the outfits....EVERYTHING. I wanted to be the bionic woman. Yet, I was only a little girl that hadn't experienced tough life occurrences. I only saw the end product. The bionic woman kicking butt and taking names. But who was Jamie Summers before her bionic prowess? How did she get ...

Every Sunday my grandmother use to make Pillsbury biscuits before church. I use to love making the “pop” sound while opening the container. They are miniature dough rounds of goodness. Now on Sundays I have continued the tradition with my little one. The entire family loves the Honey Butter Biscuits. They are flaky layers of melt in your mouth good, palm tree swaying good, 1/2 off at the mall good. You just can’t have one and once you pull out your favorite jam…ours would be blackberry…breakfast is complete!

OK…I’m giving myself a permission slip. I waited until November 8th to tell you guys our November book of the month. Have I been slippin’….a little…but do I get back on track…Always.
I love this book by Sherri, she has hit the nail on the head with this one. From time to time we are not going to be the perfect friend, daughter, relative, significant other, or mother. So instead of letting the guilt consume you like watching your favorite celeb on “Dancing with the Stars”…give yourself a permission slip and move on!
Covering topics such as “It’s Jesus or Jail,”"Marriage, the Hard Way,”"Children: The Gift You Can’t Give Back,” and “All the Things I Don’t Know…And All the Things I Definitely Do,” stand-up comedienne, actress, and ABC’s The View co-host Sherri Shepherd comically chronicles her struggles to keep up with the many roles-professional, wife, mother, daughter, and friend-that women must play in today’s world. Sherri urges women to pursue their most important dreams and to never give up, but also let’s readers know that it’s okay to give themselves “permission slips” when things don’t always work out the way they want them to. As her many fans know, Sherri is never hesitant to speak from the heart, and her bubbly personality shines through in this delightful autobiography. Happy reading!
