I had always admired Dr Condoleezza Rice and after reading the book "Condi" by Mary Beth Brown, I admire her even more. She is an amazing role model for women. Im my eyes she is a women of substance.For the first year of her formal education, she was home schooled by her mother who instilled in her a strong sense of self worth, and worked diligently to realise all the potential within her daughter. Being black was no disadvantage and she taught Condoleezza to believe that she could fly. Born into a Christian home, her aunt said of her faith in God "She knows that he guides and directs her. She learned this early as a child, to have that faith, and to believe that the Lord can do all things."
For an inspirational read, I encourage you to borrow this book about Condoleezza Rice, a gifted woman who loves and honours God; a professor, diplomat, author and national security expert who served as the 66th United States Secretary of State.

She is an excellent pianist too!
ReplyDeleteRumour has it that a sequel to this book is to be published, entitled "Condy's Crystals". Is this true? It apparently follows Rice's new role as an international healer and forecaster. This tour de force by the former Secretary of State is reportedly saturated with purple prose. Can't wait!

Potassium permanganate
ReplyDeleteFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Potassium permanganate is the inorganic chemical compound KMnO4, a water soluble salt consisting of equal mole amounts of potassium (K+) and permanganate (MnO4-, officially called manganate (VII) ) ions. This salt, formerly known as permanganate of potash or Condy's crystals is a strong oxidizing agent. It dissolves in water to give deep purple solutions, evaporation of which gives prismatic purplish-black glistening crystals.
