THE VOICE

Inspired Influences

The greatest power in the world is the power of influence. No matter how subtle, no matter how bold, we are impacted by the counsel, the bonding and the observations of others, both positively and negatively. Whether we are touched by a momentary encounter or shaped by lifetime relationships, the people in our lives are the influences that define our view of ourselves and the world. Question for the week: Are you inspiring or infecting the people around you? Thought for the week: Let your laughter be infectious and your inspiration be effective.

Your book "In My Mother's Voice."It is absolutely wonderful, I couldn't put it down until I finished it. You and your mother are beautiful and I absolutely love your mother's voice and your writing is excellent!

Wendy Miller, Secretary, Dalworth Park Church of Christ, Grand Prairie, TX

Congratulations on your book! I read the excerpt and it was very powerful and touching.My first inclination is to cry not because you agreed for me to represent you. But I felt something in your response. I see so many people being healed emotionally through your book and having had a difficult life my vision has always been to build and encourage women and young people to be the best they can be. I pray God's blessings upon you Jaaz and the impact you will make not only on the Bahamas but the world.

MAJOR CONGRATS on making it to this point....and THANKS for sharing...what great advice as I teach my boys how to ride their bikes....they have it down somewhat but now (after reading your excerpt) I have words that I'll be able to share with them that will bring it all home (and benefit them as they go forward).....your book (that is not even a book yet) is already working:-)....looking forward to the other lessons, stories, etc. Take care....and again....THANKS for sharing!!!!!

Aaron Demerson, Governors Office, State of Texas, Austin, TX

I read the synopsis and the excerpt and both literally brought me to tears. I cannot wait to read the entire book. I know that I will share the book with my family & friends as well. Thank you for not being one of those persons who leaves but never forgets.you are such a wonderful soul!

Diane Tribitt, Continental Airlines, Houston, TX

I read each page hungrily and soaked everything in. You write beautifully and you write with purpose and relevance. I felt as if I'd known your mom and I feel as if I know you a little better. I hope that by reading your book my mom will be able to ease her pain. I know it made me feel a little better. God has blessed you!

Kimberly Taylor, Author, Ms. Manor, Manor, TX

My brother Clay Petway who works for American Airlines in DWF, TX bought two of your books for my sister and I. Because we just last year lost our mother and he thought that we would really relate to this book. I just want to say thank you for writing this I enjoy reading it because it did bring back memories of things my mom use to say...Love you sister and keep GOD first in all the wonderful things that you do. You are truly a blessing to all that read this book. May GOD continue to be a blessing to you.

Regina Petway

Believe it or not, you really have inspired me to take on difficult challenges that I have been facing. I really have enjoyed reading "In My Mother's Voice" especially, All That Glitter's Ain't Gold and "Love the You in the Mirror."

I want to personally thank you for your visit today and more significantly for the wonderful impact you have on my life. I find in you a true inspiration and am driven to find my purpose based on your example. Once I read your book, while on a trip in Arizona, I found myself writing pages upon pages of thoughts. Thank you for helping me grasp some light. Thank you for helping me find some truth.
