Berry has been doing her thing in Hollywood for over twenty years,and is a constant on only Best Dressed list. Here she is captured Friday night @ NAACP Image Awards.

Going Home/TGIF

Happy Friday Everyone,
Last week I talked about "endings" and the reality is about the new beginnings and whatever that journey takes you, The roads that led up to this point is because of growth, hardships, acceptance and understanding. Some say you can't go home again, and I believe that's really the only place you can go back again to, as it truly is your beginning, the teachings, the mistakes, the security that your foundation provided. We leave the nest for greater pastures and it's the wisdom that has been instilled, that insured your safe arrival as you take flight.

As I grow in life, the goal is always to be better than I've ever been, to seek truth and harmony, in all things that I do, and in knowing your true truth, it's about not always liking what you see in you or those around you, sometimes it's about your characteristic while at other times it's about other's characteristics, however it goes, paying attention will get you to where you need to be; If you should get lost again, when it's time for you to go back to the grass roots, ground zero place where it all began for you, the ones that should and have loved you all alone when you finally make it home, open arms are awaiting to greet you as the embrace is about a 'lovely welcome'.

She won an "OBIE" for "Living Premise" and a Tony nomination for her role in James Baldwin’s "Blues for Mr. Charlie" and was then cast opposite Alan Alda in "The Owl and The Pussycat" which would have been unexceptional if portrayed by a white actress, but Miss Sands stepped into the role with no alteration in the script whatsoever, in a landmark performance introducing integration to the American cinema. In 1968, She garnered two Emmy nominations for "Beyond the Blues" and “Who Do You Kill,” She starred with Jeff Bridges in "The Landlord" in 1970, portraying "Fanny", a young ghetto mother who teaches her rich-boy white landlord what life is really all about.
