Thankful Thursday, in all actuality this can be defined in so many different ways in showing and expressing gratitude. Thankfulness makes sense of our past, carries harmony for today, and creates a revelation for tomorrow.

First and foremost there is no way in the world we can go through life without being thankful. Thankful to be alive only touches the surface. I'm sure when any of us wake up in the morning, before our feet touch the floor, we give thanks to God for another day to live and the strength to continue, and if we had a million/trillion tongues we all know, it wouldn't be enough.

Am I talking right? definitely . . .

We should be grateful for all we have, in order to receive more, but if we continue to concentrate on what we don't have, we will never obtain it. Being grateful/thankful just doesn't make you feel like a better person, it's good for you overall. For a long time I often tried to do things on my own, but who in the world was I fooling, it would've never evolved to anything without others who believed in me. Therefore, I am thankful for all those individuals in my life, friends and family who helped to get me to the next level, "level up", who supported whatever the cause, whatever the creator set forth as my purpose in life. You and they were here for me. You understood the struggle and the dream, big or small, you were there. Therefore, thank those who got you to the next level, who encouraged you, who supported you, who was there when the going was good and even when it wasn't.

We as well need to take the time to thank those who may have doubted us, yes, they helped to shape that dream by driving it into reality. They forced us to work harder and better. Regardless of the inherent or current level of someone's gratitude, it's a quality that each of us can successfully cultivate further as thankfulness reveals the richness of our lives.

An innocent child requires love, understanding, nurturing, guidance, acceptance and care.

Nia received them all even after being born of a drug addicted mother and having four siblings residing with her. It was her Great Grandmother, Mama Francine, who made sure that Nia received all that was essential in her first nine years of life while living in Tallahassee Florida.

After the death of her loving Mama Francine, Nia and her brother, Jerome, would be split from their siblings and sent to live with an aunt and uncle they barely knew. It was there in the confines of her aunt Lovell and uncle Whit's home where those words of care, love and acceptance turned into torment and cruelty. The worst crime of all was the abuse that both Nia and Jerome would suffer, all the while holding it inside. Nia's once giddiness and fun loving nature turned into hatred and emotional instability.

Follow Nia through her journey through self doubt and shame, until one day where those clouds that hovered above her would be turned into A Gift of Sunshine, that in time, she would offer to another.

What would you do for love, would you let your heart speak for you or would you let common sense guide you?
Alexis Morningside, a young girl from a small town in a single family household, was preparing herself for a life filled with success. Her uncle would provide her with the tools needed early in life to reach the goals she strived for. She took every measure necessary in the beginning to make those dreams of success come true. However, those needed measures were not those of what her family would have chosen for her but she was determined to make it work.

Alexis would fall in love with a man whose line of work would captivate her in every way. He would stimulate her physically and emotionally, something she desired and sought after. The excitement and the thrill of the life she was leading would in time alter her very survival. Alexis would eventually become part of a world filled with danger, deceit and false impression.

She would cause a chain reaction that would destroy the very life she had built for herself and the respect from those around her. Alexis Morningside would do everything necessary for self gratification but in the end she would find out the true significance of “everything necessary”.

Dominique Franklin was a woman of means and she played the part to the very end. She had the big house, the expensive cars and the rich husband she always dreamed of, but she wasn't always the woman she had become. Her plan had been put into action after a graduation vacation to Cancun Mexico with three other teenage girls. The young woman she would become would be forced into a delusional sense of reality beyond just her imagination.

Randall Simms was a handsome young man, well liked in his prominent neighborhood. He and his sister were children of a single parent household after the sudden death of their father, who was killed in a car accident.Randall had huge aspirations for himself once he graduated college, but those dreams of becoming successful would fall apart once he laid eyes on which she became.

Where did he fit in the plan she had formed early on? Only one of them would know the truth from the very beginning, only one of them had committed the unspeakable

"Juicillene Joseph aka "Juicy" grew up in the projects with her mother and father who did their best to provide for her and her two siblings. Juicy was innocent unaware of some of the troubles in her own household, until that one night in which her life changed.

She always knew that one day she would get out of the projects and find a better way of life. What Juicy didn't know was the secret that haunted her sister for so many years. Find out what had been hidden away for so long that caused Juicy's life to spiral out of control and turned her existence upside down. Seek the secret that Juicy's sister never told and how she finally finds out what that secret is and how it has affected her in the choices she has made.

You will undoubtedly look into your own indiscretion . . . some secrets are meant to be told. As you delve into the mind of the delusional you will find out what caused these sinister events to take place and you will no longer need to ask the question . . . why?
