Our thoughts are extremely powerful! Growing up being raised by my grandmother, I always saw her typing or writing down her thoughts, whether it was poetry, a short story or just some of her deepest thoughts. As I look back in hindsight, I can definitely pinpoint me beginning to write my thoughts down directly to her. Now that i'm a grown man with years of practice, I am able to write down my experiences growing up in the James Monroe Houses in The Bronx N.Y. both good and bad, as well as what I've experienced in my adult life and I hope you can enjoy and hopefully relate to my story.
