GETTING TO KNOW RHONDA…
Words to live by... "Create what you want instead of accepting what you don't have." ~ Oprah
What is your greatest accomplishment? Wow, I had a hard time answering this one. I think it's going to be motherhood. My kids are amazing and they make me very proud to be their mother.
From my children I have learned...to trust my instincts.
Inspiration comes from...everywhere, especially at the eleven o'clock hour - the 11 a.m. Sunday sermon and 11 p.m. nightly news.
What is your favorite snack? Lays Potato Chips. Lord, help me.
Who’s your celebrity crush? Idris Elba. I am completely, hopelessly infatuated with him.
Pepsi or Coke? Coke; fountain from McDonald's please.
What is one thing every woman should have in her purse? A copy of one of my books of course. :)
People would be surprised to know that I’ve never … colored my hair.
If you could not make any changes but could relive one day in your life over again, what day would you choose? I'm way too much of a control freak for this question. I can't make changes? I'm thinking my birth.
