Share Your World – August 7, 2017
Good morning everyone. I thought I would switch things up a bit on Share Your World. I will still be asking four questions, but the fourth question will be the same each week. The last question will be about anything that inspires you.
What was the last URL that you bookmarked or saved?
An Annual Compendium of Black Photography that Was a Revolutionary Act
In 1973, a small band of black artists published the Black Photographers Annual, Volume I, a book that changed the history of photography in America.
Do you believe in the afterlife? Reincarnation?
Yes. Whether it is Heaven or Reincarnation I don’t know. As my Aunt Gladys told me once, Nobody has come back from the dead to tell us! And I mean dead for several days! As a Christian I believe in Heaven. I want to see my family again. I want to be reunited with my Loved Ones who have Gone onto Glory. I would not want to be reincarnated because who in their right mind wants to return to this horrible world called Earth!
If you were or are a writer do you prefer writing short stories, poems or novels?
Poems. My specialty is Poetry. I have dabbled in short stories but I suck at character development, story lines, etc… It’s best I stick with Poetry.
What inspired you this past week? Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination.
My brother Stephen Palmer. I am on vacation so we spent time together this past weekend. Friday we rocked out to the music of the late great Robert Palmer. He goes back to his Group Home Residence today. Here is a video of a walk we took through Mt. Prospect Park yesterday Sunday. Stephen was enjoying some chocolate flavored popcorn thus the popcorn lips.
If a movie was made based on your life, what actor/actress would play you?
Jada Pinkett Smith. She is a petite Black Woman like me. Eartha Kitt if she was still living. Love her Cat Vibes. Also both women are Fierce and Feisty like me.
If you could be famous for one thing, what would it be?
Controversy. Stirring up mix. Outspoken with No filters. Blunt. Straight. No Chaser. No wait, I’m already famous for that. Guess I met the requirement.
I am the 21st Century version of the Warrior Goddess Judge DeBorah whose story is in the Bible book of Judges Chapters Four and Five.
Espiritu en Fuego/A Fiery Spirit 
Looks like you and Stephen had a nice day out at the park. 😀
Thanks. We did. It was a Beautiful Lovely Sunday afternoon.
I’m touched by the way you write about Stephen and the fun things you two do together. I looked up Mt. Prospect park. It isn’t ‘ that small indeed! I enjoyed the video of the walk, with you guiding us along the sites of interest, wich, if I may say so, aren’t that much. But I kept watching in calm delight because of the nice, tranquil sunday stroll feel. Please do clim the mystery stairs next time to see if there really ain’t no mystery 🙂 I feel I should write a line about the controversy topic, but no, this video is far to sweet to do that.
Thanks so very much. I did think of climbing the stairs but I’m now at the age thanks to bad knees and creaky joints where stairs are not my friend. However I am curious about the steps. Given the height of the steps they must have led to a building at some point. Here is some information I found regarding the park.

That park looks peaceful. Glad you and Stephen had a great time 😊
Thanks! It was a beautiful, uplifting, lovely experience. Small park but so wonderful. We enjoyed our little walk. 🙂 😀 ❤ Stephen also enjoyed his Chocolate Popcorn very much! LOL!! ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
