was so inspired I had to write about my
own life’s self-reflections. The book is
about the “why” of life. There are ques-
tions we must answer in a lifetime, the
first one of which is “who am I” and
the second one is “what is the meaning
and purpose of my life?” “To see your
thoughts in print is really exhilarating
on so many levels because individu-
als I have never met will embrace my
thoughts.”
According to her online biography,
Dr. Simmons received her undergradu-
ate degree in Psychology from Rutgers

from Temple University, and her Doc-
when compared with all other racial
groups. The reasons include such pa-
tient factors as poor knowledge of ben-

fear and anxiety.

Sen. Williams cited a report that

view is that those 32 lives have no less

Rep. McClinton who also spoke about

“My recent Southwest Energy Forums

how to weatherize their homes properly

in the process. On average, low-income
communities and communities of color
spend 26 percent of their income on
utilities. It’s important for everyone to
know how they can best save money on

“We license vehicles and buildings

message as well. “You have every right
to write to your politicians and tell
them how you feel about this key gun

At this point, Sen. Williams called
Bartram High School Principal

briefly noted that since he had lost his
