My name is Patricia Neely-Dorsey. I am from Tupelo,MS. I am a 1982 graduate of Tupelo High School and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Boston Universtiy in Boston, Massachusetts. I recently returned to my hometown in August 2007,after living almost 20 yrs in Memphis , TN, working in the mental health field. In February 2008, I published my first book of poetry entitled Reflections of a Mississippi Magnolia-A Life in Poems. .There are so many negative connotations about Mississippi and the south in general. In my book, I attempt to give a positive glimpse into the southern way of life.

Thank you for allowing a platform of expression for the Home Girl, CEO.
You and your vision are both absolutely FABULOUS!
As far As my home based business, I haven't completely taking the plunge but, I'm 90% there!
Here's my thing:
I can no longer fall victim to a work place that has not set up ample respect for the single mom! My last job wanted me to work from 4pm-1am. In my opinion, they were telling me to forget about my family, and forget about having a life and let someone else raise your child!
To me, that's truly unacceptable as well as, on the other hand, motivating.
I can't continue to do the same thing and get the same results. I think they call that "insanity", right!
For me, that was a serious wake up call. So now, I'm working through this thing called "fear" and it's been a douzie! However, I plan to succeed at all cost.
I have too! I'm not giving myself any other option and you shouldn't either.
Always remember that we come from a background of strong survivors that would do anything for the price of freedom, even risk loosing their lives.
So , on that note, lets expect to succeed. Let's plan, organize, and execute! Let's be that person that we are waiting to show up! Let's do the do! Let's make a committment to hold each other accountable for success. I'll take the stand first.
