Get Caught with Mama Goose! Children are certainly my element! I thank my LORD for this Book ministry that had impacted so many children. GOD only knows what the future holds for these precious hearts. I pray their lives would glorify Him who sits on the throne and the LAMB.

Southwest Crew AZ

My Fairy Southwest Airlines Family!

Southwest Crew

I met this wonderful young Mother at Southwest Airlines in Nebraska. She shared how her three year old (her pride and joy) simply LOVES to listen to stories!

Southwest Crew

This was our dynamic Captain n Crew that with God’s Angel’s carrying the wings of our plane, landed us safely to Honolulu, Hawaii. Henry, Andrea, Todd, and Jenn were super friendly, so they each received a special ‘Mama Goose’ book. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the time elapsed with food, entertainment, and the immutable display of “AWESOME”.

Writing Retreat

My Writing Retreat in Pheonix, Arizona was lovely at our favorite Korean BBQ restaurant!

My Lovely God Children

During a surprise trip to see my Fairy godchildren, I was elated to embrace my two Princes, Trey and Joshua! Not only are they charming but intelligent as well!

Principal Rodriquez

This wonderful young man is currently the Principal of DeZavala Elementary in Channelview, Texas. 2019 would complete three years of service as the building Principal and Educational Leader. I know his district, faculty/staff, parents, and most importantly, students alve and appreciate his commitment to their academic success! Kudos to Principal Rodriguez!`

Mama Goose and Maternal Grandmother

After losing both my parents tragically in one day, my beautiful Grandmother is the last of my living grandparents. While growing-up, we could hardly wait to visit her on the weeks and eat her homemade biscuits with honey syrup...Oh, and fried chicken she cooked fresh from her farm. Granny’s faithfulness and love for GOD influenced my Mother to follow JESUS, which helped anchor my soul. GOD has been good to this 82 year old beauty. When I see her, I see my Mother. I Love you Gramny!

Pollock kids and Fairy GodParents

Papa Goose and I can never get enough of serving as Fairy godparents to Children of our family and friends. We fell in-love with the Pollocks and their beautiful sons and daughters (two elder brothers are attending college). Roman is a Freshman in High school, Alicia is in 7th grade, while the two youngest are in elementary school. Thank the LORD they are so passionate about GOD and learning. Richmond and Lisa . . . Congratulations on raising a lovely family!

SW Captain and Crew

This delightful Southwest Captain and Crew kept the ‘magical’ dust of Las Vegas going as passengers boarded for a magical airplane ride back to the Lone Star State. The crew treated us like ‘Rock Stars’ as they assured our safety and served us with genuine compassion. My heart was filled with admiration as I watched the crew give so much of themselves. As our Captain spoke on the intercom with his friendly voice, I could hardly wait to “get caught” with such a DYNAMIC team . . .

Mama Goose Brother and Sister

I had the pleasure of meeting the most sweetest children. They were so such little princes and princesses. What I admired about them most was their joy of innocence and Love for GOD!

Mama Goose Preacher and Wife

What a blessing to our souls as we worshipped with the saints who meet at the Church of Christ at South Central in Raleigh North Carolina on this lovely LORD’S Day. Brother Barr and his brother, Byron, preached and lead congregational songs/hymns. The atmosphere reminded me so much of our church family at Fifth Ward. If we are in town again. it’s wonderful to know you have a sister congregation that loves the LORD was much as you!

Mama Goose 2 sisters
Hotel Hostess and Manager

A hotel stay would not be as pleasant without the love of one’s profession and the strong desire to maintain happy clients. Now...I like to enjoy my beauty sleep until 11:00 a.m. because I begin writing in the wee hours of the morning. It’s just so wonderful knowing that the Tender Loving Care Maidens allow me to catchup on some zzzz’s and tidy my room a little later during the day. I Love these special ladies!

Sweet Dad

This was a sweet Dad who frequently sees us passing through the airport en route to Indianapolis. As he and two young ladies waved at us, I was told he wanted to take a photo for his daughter but was too afraid to ask. So, moved by the SPIRIT, I approached their work booth. We talked as if we had known each other for years. Then, they ran and grabbed this nice young man. He was surprised and happy as his wish came true. Their kindness was a blessing to me this morning!

Chuck and Wife

Their claim to a successful marriage was, “We really LIKED” each other!” We met this beautiful couple celebrating their 40th year Anniversary In route to Vegas; and guess what? They looked like ‘newly weds’. . . so in-Love . . . just as God intended marriage to be...together for a lifetime! Of course they loved ‘Mama Goose’ books! #mamagoose #southwest

Mama Goose Asian Cuisine

After dinner at an Asian Cuisine restaurant in Indiana, this sweet hostess loved the oriental designed dress and hat I was wearing. The food and atmosphere was wonderful! To our GOD and FATHER be glory Forever; and my GOD will meet All your needs according to HIS riches in glory, found in JESUS CHRIST!

Mother Daughter
Seoul Group

What a wonderful night on the town and a ‘must try’ Seoul Barbecue restaurant! The food and customer service was fabulous in deed!

Native American Poet

Native American - When flying Southwest West, one never knows whom he/she might meet. Today, I met Janice, a noted poetess. She has penned several books of poetry and affiliates her self with a Native American reservation. Janice spoke candidly about her passion to live among and be engrafted into the Native American culture. She was such a delight to have met! #southwest

Mama Goose Indianopolis
Favorite Kids

On our way to Iowa, my favorite fans (Children) gave me so much love and appreciation for what I do as a children’s book author. Writing and publishing incredible books is our ministry and what we love to do!

Goose Creek Principal

I had the most wonderful opportunity to visit my ‘Mother’ in the field of education. Mattie Sharp was a bright star in administration as one of the first African American principals at Harlem Elementary in Goose Creek Consolidated School District. transitioning to a new position that provides mentoring and leadership for teachers at the collegiate level, she has managed to still impact the lives of those in her care. Mattie possesses a plethora of talents and skills from A to Z.

Mama and Mentor

We had a wonderful time glorifying our GREAT GOD of Heaven and Earth. The Acappella singing with the spirit, as well as the understanding, was offered up to the GODHEAD from the fruit of our lips. The message delivered by Brother Vincent McKinney, Minister, Church of Christ at North Bend was edifying and encouraging. One precious soul even came forth and put Christ on in baptism. There was so much harmony and fellowshipping. I just Love trying to out Love this beautiful saint, Mama Willis.

Mike - Mama Goose -Brother Wright

How great it is to have such wonderful Elders and Brethren who Love the LORD and HIS flock at the 5th Ward Church of Christ. Brother Washington has faithfully served the LORD and the saints for over forty years. While The Church has a membership of a thousand plus, the body has a beautiful way of making you feel so special and loved. After all, JESUS told us that the world would know we were Christians by our Love for each other? Consider JESUS, as LORD of your life today.

Mama Goose and Princess

I met these two princesses on our flight back home. The oldest princess was in 4th grade and loves to write, while the little princess is a first grader, who enjoys coloring and reading. They each received a free book giveaway of “Lightning Leroy” and “Ka’Myrah the Mermaid Princess “ with a photo op. Southwest allows a great opportunity to meet such delightful children and their parents!

Mama Goose and the Fosters

I had a lovely time with my mentor and spiritual parents in the faith. Brother and Sister Foster are known across the nation as pioneers who have evangelized family, friends, and communities, Through God’s will for their lives, they have helped Sister congregations across the Brotherhood and planted a number of Churches of Christ’s as well.

Mama Goose Susan & Pamela

I LOVE to meet people who want to pray on behalf of our book ministry. Well, that’s exactly what Ms. Palma did as we waited for our luggage. She and Ms. Susan were so sweet and encouraging. I felt the spirit of peace while in their presence. Me. Pamela began to take a picture and drew more people to do a photo opportunity as well! Hobby Airport is Blessed to have such wonderful ladies in their midst!

Mama Goose and Technologist

We met this wonderful young man enroute to Hawaii at Southwest terminal 27. My friend told me that he worked for a large technology company, had a beautiful family, and wanted to know more about Mama Goose Books. Evidently, since he was the first person to board the plane, he must have been promoting my brand to Henry, one of the airline stewards. As I approached the aircraft entrance, he yelled my name as others clapped; he even promoted me on his social media platforms! He was the genuine one!

Mama Goose Prince Future Vet

As they pass by me while I was reviewing a new book we published this month, his mother and this little Prince walked by. The mother said, “Oh, look at her!” and he shyly smiled. She later explained that he wondered who I was. Long story short, Mason informed me that he was in the 4th grade and enjoyed reading and writing. His aspiration is to become a veterinarian or soccer player! Good Luck Mason!

San Jose Traveller

Sometimes, one side of the world is waiting to say ‘Hell’ to another! While leaving San Jose, I was sitting next to this sweet young lady, Vicki. She said she was a hair stylist by profession and was visiting her sister in Florida. She also described the beautiful and massive Chinese New Year events in San Jose. What I loved about Vicki the most, was her unforgettable kindness with a slice of laughter that made you want to be as kind as she was. We hugged and said goodbye and boarded South West.

Double Tree Hotel

I do enjoy individuals in service and truly LOVE their occupation! After an inquiry from the hotel restaurant about a hotel service I wanted, I quickly spoke with Silvia, the manager. She was very cordial and understanding toward my needs. In no time. my simple request was fulfilled. With haste, I was compelled to meet this young lady. While chatting, Silvia shared she had an 8 year old son she reads to every night. It’s always good to know a little bit about people you meet!

God Bless Grandparents

Wow! If the world had more grandparents such as this lovely couple, our future generations would have an incredible line of support! This grandmother couldn’t stop speaking about all the wonderful things her grandchildren were involved. It only takes quality time and love to make children feel a significant degree of security from the troubles that fall upon humanity. Love covers a multitude of mistakes! Seek the LORD while HE may be found!

Mama Goose and Sales Director

During our stay at the Doubletree Waikiki, I met the charming Cheryl Nasser, Director of Sales, Marketing, and Revenue. It was ‘Love at first sight’. She adored my costume and what we were doing for children in promoting ‘A Love for Reading’ through Mama Goose Books. Cheryl invited me to perform a Book Concert in December, (if it is the Lord’s will I live and travel to Hawaii) 2019. Inspiring the young and young at heart is such a wonderful way to minister Joy, Kindness, and Love . . .

Double Tree Service Representatives

These beautiful faces greeted us every morning during breakfast at the Double Tree in Waikiki. The maidens inquired about the breath of time it took to get dressed. My response was, “ It all depends upon how fast or slow I want to move that day!” They seemed to have gotten a good kick out of that reply. Respectfully, the food was superb with choices ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous. Be it Continental or Hot, native Hawaiian or American . . . the choice was yours!

Mama Goose and Mike at Zippys

Zippy’s is a very popular restaurant chain in Honolulu. On this particular day, we were served by this sweet lady from the island. Like clockwork, Papa Goose told his favorite jokes and made her laugh. By the time we left, two of them ended-up ‘adopting’ each other as siblings for life! She really made us feel at home! Surf's Up!

Mama Goose and Maddie

While awaiting our flight with Southwest Airlines to Houston, Texas, I met Maddie, a Princess that was on her way to Hawaii. Her Dad informed me that this was a special, dream trip. It did my heart good to see her enthusiasm as we chatted about her favorite hobbies which were cheerleading, bike riding, and swimming. I simply love meeting such lovely and enchanting children. Maddie, you’re the ‘BEST’!

Mrs. Clause

Fancy this! As Papa Goose finished brunch at The Crave restaurant along the riverside in Iowa, we run across this magical dear lady. Upon explaining who we were and what we do for children, she asked for God’s blessings on our ministry. Then, she revealed that she portrays many characters, especially “Mrs. Clause”. I informed her that one of our publishing companies, Enchanted Rose, will be releasing our first Winter holiday book soon. She got so excited about the storyline; exchanged numbers.

Mama Goose with Double Tree

After having a lovely breakfast at the Doubletree Hotel, I was trapped by a buzz of energy from several families hosting a family reunion. I met a Houston Fire Department Fire Fighter and her niece, Mercedes. It was really great to feel the enthusiasm the organization brought to the hotel environment!

On our way to worship with the saints at the Northwest Church of Christ, we ran into this grandmother and her wonderful grandsons during breakfast as they closed-out their annual family reunion in Arizona.

Posing at John Wayne Airport - LA

After a smooth landing at the John Wayne Airport, I knew that Disneyland was not far away. As my mind began thinking about the name of the airport, the famous words, “Well, I’ll tell you pilgrim” was a subtle reminder of a pioneer of the west, who was the epitome of toughness, strength and gentry. On our way to the rental car section, I couldn’t resist a “Kodak”moment with the colossal 20 ft. bronze edifice of “The Duke” himself.

Mama Goose and Jenny-SW Pilot

“I am the captain and I’m delighted for you to meet my co-pilot" ... (a male.) Now stunned, Mama Goose accepted the offer to sit in the cockpit and talk about her passion for writing, singing and making a difference in the lives of children. Jennifer was just as intrigued and embraced the opportunity to co-author a book about female pilots to inspire girls and young women. The resulting title – “Aboard the Mission with Pilot Jenny.”

Southwest Airline Associate

I met this Southwest Airline Associate as we were waiting our flight to Los Angeles. Apparently, he was a ‘hoot’ as his female colleagues’ incessant laughing tickled the air at practically every comment he made. It was easy to see how much they cherished each other’s professional relationship!

Mama Goose with Sisters

Anna DubLife First Lady in Iowa

Anna, affectionately dubbed DubLife ‘First Lady’, in Iowa. When we first laid eyes on the car, it totally stood-out due to the sleek luscious purple color and the pure chrome wheels. I just knew a ‘Brother’ must have been somewhere near-by. Boy! You should have seen our jaws drop gwhen we learned that Anna built the car herself, and among 600 cars in a national car contest, her car placed in the top 50. This is just another example that women can achieve anything they set their minds to do.
