"I have a dream..."
this is quite possibly the most famous words of any of Dr. Marin Luther King's speeches. And I believe that many of us could write a speech that begins with those words when speaking about our children, our family, our life. Dreams are possibilities of what could be and what may be...
So today what do you dream?
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. inspired a generation to change and continues to inspire people today with his words, writings and life.
Here are a few of my favorite quotes of Dr. Martin Luther King...
“If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”
“Find a voice in a whisper.”
“Many people fear nothing more terribly than to take a position which stands out sharply and clearly from the prevailing opinion. The tendency of most is to adopt a view that is so ambiguous that it will include everything and so popular that it will include everybody. Not a few men who cherish lofty and noble ideals hide them under a bushel for fear of being called different.”
“You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say”

NEW BOOK: HOW DAVID MET SARAH
How David Met Sarah (eFitzgerald Publishing, 2011), might appear to be an ordinary story about a young man who works in a mail room, lives at home with his parents and falls in love. But unlike any of her previously published work, How David Met Sarah was inspired by and written for Anne's youngest brother, a 36 year old man with Down syndrome.
{20% of the profit from sales of How David Met Sarah will be donated to NDSS}
Click here to buy the book from Barnes & Noble for Nook or in print. Or, ask for it at your local Barnes & Noble book store.
Click here to contact and follow the author. Anne and David are available for book signings and/or workshops and lectures.
I just ordered the Kindle version for $4.99 and paperback starts @ $10.79.
I can't wait to get reading! Excellent reviews!
