History Makers-The 2010 Trumpet Awards!

ThresholdWorld would love to have attended the awards in Atlanta last week. We would have enjoyed the High Tea With High Heels at the Hyatt,' Prayer Breakfast with notable gospel singers, such as Mary Mary etc, but didn't receive a reply. We should've tried harder, so maybe next year! Surely, we want to let you all know about the honorees. Be inspired! Google them. Study their habits to greatness.

"The annual Trumpet Awards acknowledges the accomplishments of men and women who have significantly contributed to enhancing the quality of life for all…individuals and/or groups who augment the richness of this great global society by partnering with the cause of justice and equality of all."-Trumpet Foundation.

Jim Holley PHD -Religion/Business, Rev. & Mrs. Joseph E. Lowery -Civil Rights, Clarence Otis Jr.-Business, John Rogers Jr.- Corporate Executive, Synthia Saint James -Arts, General William E.

Let's hear what some notable attendees had to say. Interesting info was covered, such as logistical issues in Haiti as well. Check out this video.

ThresholdWorld is a space to learn ideas, information and inspiration to spur your life into transformative action! I write of...

Blessed by Nature!

Today I went to my favorite spot in the world thus far. The Brooklyn Botanic Gardens has always been my best place to think, dream, and plan. I like this picture as it captures me in the moment. Soaking it all in. The beauty surrounds me. I love it! I am greatful to have such a lovely place as this garden in my community. View www.bbg.org for yourself and visit a garden in your community. If none, build it and they will come. :) Escape for a moment. Be blessed by nature!
