What have YOU done with your dash?


"Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul."
Coretta Scott King, 1927-2006

Amen Sisters and Brothers!

As I prepare to experience this day, I think about a funeral I attended a handful of years ago (at a black church in Tennessee), where the preacher asked, "What have you done with your - (dash)?" Meaning the dash between the year you were born and the year you will cease to exist. Looking at the "dash" of Coretta Scott King, I think WOW... what a dash that woman had!

I too desire to make a difference, it's time to look at my dash once again! Rest in PEACE sister Coretta.
