Monday is here once again and after a weekend filled with Mom’s, parties and celebration, I can’t be more motivated to start a new week.
To start my week off, I’ll be in a Mom Blogger Conference call with Phylicia Rashad. “Claaaaiiiiiiire!!!!” (In my Bill Cosby voice) If, you’re not aware of who Phylicia Rashad is… then maybe you know her by Claire Huxtable? If you don’t know her by Claire Huxtable? Then, you have to be about 10yrs old (lol). Growing up, we ran home every Thursday night to watch The Cosby Show! It was the first T.V show of a successful Black family.
This Friday May 14th Just Wright will be in movie theaters, featuring Phylicia Rashad, Common, Queen Latifah & Paula Patton. Phylicia Rashad is playing the role of Common’s mother. The previews I’ve seen, Common gets injured and possibly not able to play ball again, Queen Latifah commits to helping him rehabilitate.
My husband and I were watching a game on T.V. Spurs against the Suns, now, don’t think for a minute that I know everything about Basketball or I think I know. However, when I watch a game, I see more than basketball. I see my life, my struggles and my victories. Steve Nash, was playing with stitches over his eye. He literally was playing with one eye shut. I started talking to my husband about the perseverance that Athletes have. He said, “that’s what you do when you’re doing something you love.” Then I began to think about all the people and things that I love….
In life we all have a role to play. It may be the Mom of an Athlete? We may be the one that commits to helping someone rehabilitate from injury? Sometimes the role we play isn’t a nice one. There are times I can be a bit selfish and if I don’t get my way, I’m OUT! No matter what role we play, it MUST be Common for Love to Persevere.
