Through Shirley's Eyes

Who I Am

“My name is Shirley, I am the eldest of three sisters, the daughter of Alec and Clara, and the first grand-baby of Julia. I am not a woman given to long, deep, conversations-- rather long, deep thoughts. I was brought up in the South in the 1940’s, during a time when black folks were still referred to as “colored” and white men roamed the countryside in pointy, white hats.”

Destiny

Some say life is a simple string of coincidences tied together by insignificance, no more than random shifting, a leaf floating on life’s current having no destination or determination; but, I am persuaded otherwise. I believe that God, the Creator of the universe, has a plan for your life-- just like He had for mine!
