I am humbly stepping into this amazing time in my life with so much gratitude and excitement. We are celebrating my new book, Grammar at Your Fingertips: Unforgettable Tips for Mastering English Grammar and Usage! ❤🙏🏾🎈
COMING THIS FALL!

Yesterday, I revealed that these beautiful MUGS (designed and made with love by Meeks at bklyneclectic.com) were created for the launch of my book, GRAMMAR AT YOUR FINGERTIPS. Get ready for some summertime fun . . . "WHAT'S IN YOUR MUG: Sipping and Tipping with Valerie and Friends." Our languages, like these mugs, are brilliant, colorful, and unique. I hear YOU! 💕

Happy Monday!!! I am so excited that my beautiful MUGS are here . . . RIGHT ON TIME. The first mug arrived two months ago, and it was broken in pieces. Even though I was disappointed, I had to be patient and trust the process that something better was coming. This time I received double (two mugs, instead of one), and I have learned once again: "Our time is not God's time, but He is always right on time." I have been anxiously waiting to celebrate and share something great with you, but not only were the mugs not ready, I'm also finding that I wasn't ready either. Sometimes, God is taking us through a process and gives us more time, while He is preparing us for the greatness and BIGNESS that He has for us. I AM READY! This week I will reveal the cover of my new book, GRAMMAR AT YOUR FINGERTIPS! I am humble and grateful! 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤❤

I heard many years ago: "Children don't care what you think. They want to think that you care."
Let's celebrate our Black fathers and empower our children.
Our Words Have Power. 🌹
