As
a little girl growing up in Arkansas I didn't understand the significance of
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his ministry of justice and non-violence. As an
adult I appreciate and am grateful for his legacy and for his contributions to
make our world a better place to live.
Hot Springs celebrates the life of
Dr. King with a prayer breakfast Jan. 18 at the Hot Springs Convention Center.
The event is sponsored by the National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People (NAACP) and proceeds for the event benefit scholarships. Contact
Elmer Beard at elmerbeard@yahoo.com for
more information.
I also believe Dr. King would have
enjoyed and supported the Muses Project, which we are extremely fortunate to
have in Hot Springs because of their call to us all to be “lifelong learners
and curious listeners.” The Muses Project presents “Inviting the Muse” on Jan.
25 10 a.m.-11 p.m. This special seminar is the first in a series of life
balance, creativity and inspiring excellence seminars. The event also includes
lunch for a $10 donation. For more information and to make a reservation, call
the Muses Cultural Arts Center at 501.609.9811 or go to www.themuseproject.org.
The next two Saturdays the MLK
Prayer Breakfast and “Inviting the Muse” are examples of wonderful events that
happen in Hot Springs to encourage us all to be more caring, kind and empathetic
listeners and learners so that we can make our home in Hot Springs a better
place to live.
At Diamondhead, we celebrate our
diversity and seek to become the best community we can be. Come and see the
area in Hot Springs we call home. The natural beauty and serenity at Diamondhead
is worth checking out. For more information, call 501.520.9201 or 501.262.9310
and we’d love to give you a tour of Diamondhead.
