Even though my career path has led me away from the world of fiction and literature, I know that someday I’ll be back.

Happy Birthday Toni, wow what an inspriration I hope to look that good at 80. Toni’s words are so powerful that one can only sometimes just feel them until we into them enough to fully understand them, but I think that comes from just living life but her words are like a vault you keep in your mind, you can reference back to them in times of need and know that they r true.

I love Toni Morrison! So Happy Birthday to her! And Afrobella, I posted an article on How to write your own self help book in 12 days on my new site. Check under the label DO IT YOURSELF. It’s an easy recipe! I just published my first one and you can do it too! Good luck!

Reading Toni Morrison got me through high school and college with my sanity intact. I love Song of Solomon. And Sula’s last words “Wait’ll I tell Nel.” gets me every time. I don’t know if this is a fairly recent picture, but 80 looks wonderful on her.

WOW – this letter was great!! I love that quote about writing the book you want to read & I looooooooooove ME SOME Toni Morrison. I love Sula, The Bluest Eye, Jazz & all the other ones I’ve read – although I did have a hard time with Song of Solomon.

Happy B-day Auntie Toni (I hope that I can call you that too). I had noooooo idea that you were turning 80 – you still look fabulous!!! Thank you for being you and enriching us with your perspective and interpretations!

Afrobella, you have captured my love in your letter so perfectly. I too have SO MUCH love for Aunt Toni, and Luvvie, Sula is my second favorite book ever (after Maya Angelou’s I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.

She is truly an awesome jewel and I’m honored that she has graced us with her amazing gift.
