Walk Like You Have Somewhere To Go – Lucille O’Neal

Sunday, April 11th, 2010

I know Shaquille O’Neal.
Not personally but I’ve seen him play a few times and I know about his beef with Kobe Bryant, the alleged affairs that supposedly drove him to parting ways with his wife and all the details that emerged about him in his messy divorce. I also know and really love his comedy specials. I probably know more about Shaq than Lucille O’Neal would like me to know.

Who is Lucille O’Neal?
Excellent question. I had no clue who she was either until I picked up Walk Like You Have Somewhere To Go.
Normally I wouldn’t care what a wealthy pro-basketballer’s mother had to say but something about Lucille O’Neal tag “my journey from mental welfare to mental wealth” had me curious so I dived in.

Lucille’s story is humbling.Its entertaining.Its inspiring.
I can guarantee that you will find one thing in her book that you can relate to.
You can’t help but root for her when you read the first few chapters of the her book and by the end,you’ll be on your feet giving her a standing ovation for all she has accomplished.
I could point out a whole bunch of things that impressed me about Lucille O’Neal’s life story but I especially liked the part where she gained self confidence and learned to stand up for herself.
I just added another heroine to my growing list of women I admire and her name is Lucille O’Neal.
