.....Thoughts

T-Boz has really inspired and helped me with her book! I too had ( and still have) lots of problems. I didn't know how to cope with them, but through T-Boz' help, I learned to write down my problems in forms of poems. She has helped me to live a brighter day thanks to TLC's music and ofcourse Tionne's "Thoughts".

superb!

when i first found out that t-boz will be releasing a book, i went crazy and hope i can get it. i got the book just this february and read it for 3 hours and love all especially the essays. the poems are really great and my faves include confused and it's just a problem & racism and with the essays i love the one that talks about her grams and her daily top 20 list. i mean everythings great about it. i sya you should get it or else you'll be missing a big part of your life. it is a great book of courage and strength. there were no regrets that i bought the book. believe you'll not have them too.

A wonderful book

This is not the kind of book I often read, but I became interested in it through my love of TLC's music.I found so much in this book that is good and truthful. Tionne shares many of her life's most emotional experiences. A lot of this is delightful to read - like the chapters about her brother, her mother, and her grandmother, for whom she shows unconditional love. She also talks about her love for God throughout the book, and tries to give advice to her readers on how to live a happy and virtuous life - by respecting oneself and others, for seeing things for what they are, being honest, and taking responsibility for oneself and being productive. Much of this comes out in the poems, and it earned a great deal of respect from me.In some ways, the book was hard for me to read, because it made me very aware of my own many shortcomings. But I am grateful for that, and it touched me in a way that no other book has quite done. Also, the chapter "Monster in my Veins" in which she talks about her lifelong illness is hard to read - evoking great compassion in the reader.And those who love TLC will find the chapter about how the group got together quite a treasure.The book is organised as follows: a section consisting of 12 poems, followed by 7 essays, then 10 more poems, then 7 more essays, then 12 more poems. There are lavish colour sections at the beginning and end, which contain photos of Tionne and her family and friends, and two of the poetry sections. All the poems are beautifully illustrated.Tionne has done a wonderful thing by writing this book, and sending such a positive and healthy message to her many young devotees.

the best book to come along for the true meaning of a woman

the book explains alot about how life was for her and how family and the group tlc is , her illness is common to me because i have it and to her someone else talk about it , it brings happiness into my life because i try to talk to my friends about it but no one else would understand if they don't have it , t-boz if you read this thank you i hope to see you in january at the concert 3 days after my birthday quanesa in detroit mi

The one and only Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins

Thoughts is an amazing collection of Tionne's personal stories about her life, home photographs, and real life poems. I love writing and am so glad that TT has put this book together. Like everything else she does, she copies no one, always setting her own standards and doing things on her terms. And somehow it always works. Very well. In the book, you learn about how she became the woman she is today and she really tells a lot about her life, which is unique from many celebs. You walk away from the book with a whole new perspective about how T-Boz thinks and who she is, and how you think and who you are. Tionne is not the type of star that seems untouchable - she seems like the type of person that even though you don't know her, after reading the book you could go up and talk to her like anybody else. It's an inspiring, even amusing book, that will help or entertain everybody, particulary young girls. Hey ladies! TLC has always rocked for us and now it's great to see Tionne sharing some of the same thoughts all of us have with us. TT, if you ever read this, great job and know that you are loved and appreciated by millions of fans in whatever you do! Good luck and I love you! BUY IT! BTW - TT, you guys were awesome in concert!
