The Jersey Lilly

The "Jersey Lilly"
A Dean's daughter, a sister to six brothers, a wife to a wealthy merchant, an acknowledged beauty, a mistress to a future king, society hostess and the list goes on and on.
She went from wearing one dress to being a leader of fashion. After lost favor and was nearly bankrupt she reinvented herself as an actress and entrepreneur.
After eventually toured America with her own acting company, started a winery in America and was a successful owner of race horses.
Intelligent, humorous, fascinating to both men and women she was admired and idolized by people from all walks of life.

The reason this woman interests me so is I am related to her.  She was born to Reverend William Corbet LeBreton on October 13, 1853. My maiden name is LeBretton.  Some checking into less than intense   genealogy has revealed reasons to believe that she is a long lost (I mean 1853? really) relative of mine. She lead a very interesting life to say the least. Check her story out HERE

Thought for the Day....No one can make you feel inferior unless you allow it.

Happy Birthday Ernest Hemingway - 1899 - 1961

I was exploring Google this morning and ran across famous Authors birthdays. Ernest Hemingway popped up. Can you imagine? What caught my attention is that he took his own life. I find myself wondering why so many creative people in our history find themselves  on a path to destruction. What causes a person to even toy with the idea that their life is not important enough to continue on.
My theory is we all have a purpose to fulfill. We cannot or do not have the right to decide when we have accomplished all that we are supposed to accomplish. That is not our right. Our life is not our own. It was bought with a price. Enough said, think about it.



Thought for the day.....Stand back and look at yourself and speak three positive things about yourself.  Now, find someone this week and do the same thing for someone else. You may make their day.

Promotion time:  Drug Seminar coming up on September 12th. Very informative. You will be a better parent, better grandparent, teacher, or youth leader for learning about a very significant threat to our well-being and our young people's lives.
Catch me on Facebook or contact Madison Assembly of God for details.
