Black Wings: A tribute to CeeCee Lyles
During Black History Month we always take time out to acknowledge the biggest and brightest Black men and women of the world’s history. Whether it’s the heroes of civil rights like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks or creators and innovators like George Washington Carver and Madam CJ Walker. Often times there are a lot of heroes who make big impacts that go rather unnoticed to the general public. Sometimes such individuals are responsible for moments and actions that do not warrant a lot of attention from the general public, other times there are people who are a part of big moments in time, but were overshadowed by the moment itself. One such person is CeeCee Lyles, she was one of the heroic flight attendants aboard United Airlines flight 93 during the September 11th attack.

I See Your Smiles
It never hurts to smile. It makes us feel good inside even when we’re hurting, reminds us not to take life too seriously. And when we give ourselves and others the love of smiles, it multiplies in people’s hearts. You never know whether you might be drastically picking up someone’s day by giving them a little ray of sunshine. We each have an inner light that is so important to not keep hidden, or as the religious saying goes, “don’t hide it under a bushel basket.” And yet, sometimes we need to keep some emotions contained. Inner anger can hurt someone else or ourselves, and sometimes we as human beings aren’t even fully aware of how much this feeling poisons ourselves. But there is someone watching who sees every time you smile. It’s such a small gesture, but small things add up to long-term results, mindsets or leanings toward certain feelings that become cyclical. This is as true for the positive as it is for the negative. So which are you going to choose?

Young, Black & Gifted
The date is February 20, 2024 and today would have been the 34th birthday of Rodney Dickens. If you’re wondering who exactly he is, well he was one of three Black pre-teens from the Washington D.C. school district, including Asia Cottom and Bernard Brown who were all selected to attend an ecology conference that was hosted by National Geographic in Los Angeles, California in September of 2001. They were all selected for this prestigious, yet educational field trip because they were all very smart. Unfortunately they never made it to the conference because on the morning of September 11, 2001 they boarded American Airlines flight 77, which was hijacked and crashed into the Pentagon in Washington D.C. as part of the 9/11 attacks.

The Safety Deposit Box Of Pain In My Heart
I had an impatient life. At nineteen years old I became responsible for two humans. For the next thirty-five years, I raised my husband and children while learning about life and living. Hatred and love. Cruelty and kindness. Wisdom and folly. Understanding and indifference. Knowledge and ignorance. Pleasure and pain. War and peace, along with many life lessons from everyone, good and bad.
