"In the end, all we have as humans are our words. Speak carefully, diligently, and with love."
-Urban Thoughts
Dear Thinkers,
You have come to this website either by purpose or accident. Whatever reason that you came, you are here and I thank-you for staying! Thinkers: You are dream chasers! You are powerful beyond measure. You all are the reasons that my words have a home in this universe. Who knew a boy from a small town of Tuskegee, Alabama would grow up to be an award winning slam artist and teacher? Together, WE are dream-chasers, dream-thinkers and dream-makers. I thank-you for chasing the dream with me! I appreciate your support and I do not take it lightly. I know that as a founder of Speak LIFE Society that our tongues hold so much power. WE must speak carefully, diligently, and with love. THANK-YOU for allowing me to be a voice in the community, your hearts, and homes.
With love,
Timothy "Urban Thoughts" Moore
