The TV interview in Biloxi went well but it was very short.  It was the first time I have been on a live show.  The studio looked very professional and the host Karen Abernathy was great because she has spent some time in Africa and wants to go back.  They showed a lot of photos and related proverbs.  I hope to get a copy to post. 

So today I am driving back to the coast for the actual book signing at the  OHR-O’Keefe Museum of Art.  It’s a beautiful new museum right on the water with examples of Frank Gehry's amazing architecture. https://www.georgeohr.org/Default.aspxhttps://www.georgeohr.org/Default.aspx

Here are the proverbs since my last posting.  Again I am so grateful to Annetta Miller who compiled the proverbs for this calendar and for my book. http://www.africanwisdominimageandproverb.com/

"When you have to choose and decide not to choose, you have already made the wrong choice." Kenyan proverb for Saturday, March 9.

 Here are all the proverbs that I have been posting on my Facebook page.  Somehow the days fly by but if you want to get these daily it would be best to follow that page. 

Today I am going to have an interview on WLOX TV in Biloxi, Miss. to promote my book.  Then there will be a book signing at the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art on Saturday March 9 from 11-1pm.
