About Me
- Name: LPC

I am a 54-year old executive and mother, brought up in privilege. Standing still for a moment to examine the implications. If you are concerned with style, objects of beauty, social anxiety, and the raptures of life I want to offer some assistance. For more, try this link: http://bit.ly/bD5HO4.

Lisa, My comment did not take, so I copied and pasted it and tried again, with the above rather bewildering result. Not even sure what the above words are from....feel free to delete them; So sorry.
What I did say was that MLK had so many other wonderful words of wisdom besides the "Dream" speech. Thank you for sharing these.
My gosh. We forget how articulate he was. His words are melodious to this retired English teacher. I am awestruck with the power in his message. What an intuitive, perceptive genius of a man he was. Thank you.
He was an incredible human being.
You're more than welcome. Onward.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
xo, Tish
If anyone would like to extend these ideas into everyday life, I recommend the book "Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life" by Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD. He was active in the early civil rights movement with Dr King and has taught this proven process for peace all over the world.
Beautiful! So nice to see this and remember.
