What I am now and what I am becoming is as much nurture as it is nature. God, people and the society are the building blocks of my being and my voice.

Reflections by Regina Brett, 90 years old - 'Lessons life taught me'
“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” ― Mae West
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will so Stay in touch.
5. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
6. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
7. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
8. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
9. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
10. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
11. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
12. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
13. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
14. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
15. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
16. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
17. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'
18. Forgive everyone for everything.
19. What other people think of you is none of your business.
20. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
21. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
22. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
23. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
24. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young..
25. Get outside everyday. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
26. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
27.Envy is a waste of time,You already have all you need the best is yet to come.
28.No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
29.Life is not tied with a bow but its still a gift to be cherished
