Serena Williams is most likely the best tennis player ever, male or female. People watch tennis because of her. Period. I’m not here to speak about her outstanding record as a champion tennis player though. You can read all about that in her Wikipedia entry here. For me, I’m much more interested in the fact
I didn’t plan on this. I just decided one day that I wanted to talk about Sidney Crosby and put him on my calendar and then that got delayed due to an important meeting I needed to attend. So the week after (this week), he and his team, the Pittsburgh Penguins were already Stanley Cup
She wasn’t born death and blind. She was a perfectly normal little girl until at 19 months she became sick with “Brain Fever” and she lost both her sight and hearing. She wasn’t a poor girl either. Her parents were rich and well off. This is Helen Keller’s story. It was a good thing that

Reality trumps fantasy. No helmet will ever stop a concussion. Not everyone who plays sports will get one. Not everyone plays sports. BUT anyone can have a concussion! WHY?

Lucille Ball did a lot of things with her life. It appears that any ambition she had, she went out and made it real. She was an actor, comedian, model, film-studio executive, and producer. She and her husband Desi Arnaz created their own TV show, “I Love Lucy” and she continued to create her own
She was born Alice Mary Norton but she legally changed her name so she could write under her own name. She was Andre Norton, the most prolific science fiction and fantasy writer of her time. She published more than 130 novels over 70 years, attracting many young women to the genres at a time
