I dedicate this song to my parents Edward and Mable Palmer and my Aunt Helen Palmer Garcia. I Love this song. Even though it is from my parents generation I can relate to every word she sings. The Lyrics have so much meaning especially for those who have lost loved ones.
A few nights ago I dreamed of Daddy and Aunt Helen. Stephen was in the dream also. Me, Daddy and Stephen were in our home in St. Albans, Queens, NY.
I was talking to Aunt Helen on our rotary dial telephone. Daddy passed away in 1995 Aunt Helen Palmer Garcia in 2010.
When I’m under stress and sad those I loved the most return to me speaking of happier times. That way I can once again be happy and joyful in a safe protected environment.
Spending time in Nature which includes Gardens and Parks large or small. Any Green Space. It’s all good. Rejuvenating for the soul and spirit.

As the Human Jukebox you know I can find a song to go along with almost any subject or topic! This is what happens as you get older. You become a repository for songs, tunes and music going back over 50 years! LOL!!
The Finished Photo Collage. 90% Stephen and 10% Sister DeBorah!! Hooray for Stephen!!
Given the opportunity people with Autism can express their Creativity in unique ways. Some like Stephen’s friends and fellow consumers in the AABR Choir have magnificent voices the bring happiness and joy to those who hear them sing.
Stephen enjoys Art and even though the Art program at AABR has been eliminated due to budget cuts I will continue to bring art into Stephen’s life by taking him to various New York City Museums (Our Favorite is the Brooklyn Museum) and purchasing art supplies for him so we can do our artist thing when Stephen comes to visit me.
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.
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.
