Suggested Reading of the week: COME ON PEOPLE


...Is the title of Bill Cosby and Alvin Poussaint's new book that talks about strengthening American through families and communities. For any of you who watch Oprah yesterday, Bill, yes we are on first name bases, was fired up about families, especially parents taking over their household and not allowing children to run the home. He said one thing that stuck out to me;
"Parents, don't knock on your children's door asking them "may I come in?". That is YOUR house and YOU pay the bills! They just live there!!"

I am going to try and read this book. I really want to learn more especially since I would like to start my own family one day.
If any of you read it or have read it let me know what you think

If you wanted to see a few clips from yesterday's show (and it was a really good show) go to oprah.com

that was a good OPRAH show (and you know how much i LOVE that woman)! but it's something that we all know but not implementing in our life! i would love to read that book but definitely when i have time, maybe during christmas break (cuz u know college is no joke). but i would love to discuss it with you, so we should decide to read it together.
