Inspire Others!

Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone—Colossians 4:6

Sometimes, Ms. Bea’s conversation included a bit of pepper, consistent with her Trinidadian roots.  But that was only because she cared and wanted us to be our best selves.  For years, she prepared meals for individuals with HIV/AIDS.  Ms. Bea was quick to lend a hand wherever and whenever needed. Ms. Bea soothed the saddened and supported the work of organizations that fought for social justice. She encouraged youngsters to reach for the stars, very often resulting in a transformation of their life’s course. One young boy she mentored in Gambia became a successful chef who opened a restaurant in the UK.

However, she did not suffer fools gladly, nor did she have patience for those who were lazy or self-absorbed.  Although she is no longer physically here, her spirit lives on and continues to inspire those whose lives she touched.  We would do well to take a page from Ms. Bea’s book and do what we can to encourage excellence wherever and whenever the opportunity arises.  Our conversations should uplift and energize because this world needs more positive people!

The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do—Kobe Bryant
