“To Miss Gianna Floyd -
I wrote you a black fairytale
I understand if you not ready
to read it yet or if your mama
told you wait a bit and that
just fine this book aint going
nowhere this book gon be right here
whoever you want it
whenever you get finished playing
outside in that bright beautiful world
your daddy loved so much child,
it's just right to set this aside
Lord knows not a soul on this earth
gon blame you for being out in it --
running laughing breathing”
― Tara M. Stringfellow, Memphis

“The best way to develop greater happiness and other inner strengths is to have experiences of them, and then help these good mental states become good neural traits. This is taking in the good: activating a positive experience and installing it in your brain.”
― Rick Hanson, Hardwiring Happiness: The New Brain Science of Contentment, Calm, and Confidence
