PROGRESS OF LOVE

Grab a notepad...
There"s an old saying that says it is better to have love and lost than to have never have loved at all. And if you were able to capture that sentiment, understand it, what that would that look like?

The Progress of Love explores the meaning and experiences of love and, specifically, the loss of love and its aftermath, in today's society as seen by African and Western contemporary artists.
The exhibition that features multimedia installations and photography by British-Nigerian artist and filmmaker Zina Saro-Wiwa, British-Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare, MBE, French artist Sophie Calle, and American-Jamaican-Nigerian artist Temitayo Ogunbiyi.

A DAY OF QUIET...DENISE Y. WILLIAMS

Grab a notepad...
With all the noise around us, it"s no wonder we can"t hear that calm quiet voice that resides in all of us. In there lies peace, wisdom and healing. And though the world keeps spinning at a rapid pace. We do have the power to be still.

In the CLASSROOM today...
Author and Speaker Denise Sneed Williams

LESSON:
She says...
We"re so busy trying to put our arms around everybody else"s stuff that the person we don"t address is us!

If you take a moment to immobilize you can think more clearly about things and you will find that you won"t feel it necessary to REACT to everything or everyone that comes your way. When we run around with so much noise, it interferes with our most important conversation-the one that exists between us and GOD!
Do you feel rushed and overwhelmed, constantly? Are you reacting to every situation? Do you feel your world is too noisy? Are you not sleeping well? Do you think busy and effective have the same meaning?
If you have answered yes to any of these questions, you are in need of a Day of Quiet. shhhhhhhhhh
