I just spent some time over at Mr. Solomon's (a friend of mines) blog, when I came across this post that lead me to a video, of Michelle Obama. "Fear, again, raising it's ugly head". "The reason I said "yes" is because I am tired of being afraid". These are just a few words that Michelle Obama spoke that night. I wanted to share this video with you because it's exactly where I am in my life right now. I'm sick and tired of FEAR raising it's ugly unwanted head, setting out to assist me in defeating myself. Over the past few months D. and I have step out in faith and made some major, life altering decisions that have not been easy. One of the reasons why we are here is because we have decided to do different. You know the saying, "if you want different results you have to do different things". Well, along with doing different comes stepping out of your comfort zone and venturing in to territory that's unfamiliar, ri...

~Something to think about~ A very humorous and revealing story is told about a group of white people who were fed up with African Americans, so they joined together and wished themselves away. They passed through a deep dark tunnel and emerged in sort of a twilight zone where there is an America without black people. At first these white people breathed a sigh of relief. At last they said, no more crime, drugs, violence and welfare. All of the blacks have gone! Then suddenly, reality set in. The "NEW AMERICA" is not America at all-only a barren land. 1. There are very few crops that have flourished because the nation was built on a slave-supported system. 2. There are no cities with tall skyscrapers because Alexander Mills, a black man, invented the elevator, and without it one finds great difficulty reaching higher floors. 3. There are few if any cars because Richard Spikes, a black man, invented the automatic gearshift, Joseph Gambol, also black, invented the Sup...

Yesterday was my wedding Anniversary. We've been married for 9 years. Being married to David has been an incredible experience!! The first time we met we were actually 7 years old. Yes, in Sunday school. My Father was one of the Pastors and his Mother was one of our Sunday School teachers and choir director. Who would have thought all these years later we'd be married raising 5 kids. The kids love to hear the stories about how me and D. use to hang out together with our friends when we were younger. We didn't date back then, I didn't even know he had a crush on me until we got together 15 years later, which was over 9 years ago. I moved to Ga two years before he did. We stayed in touch a little here and there and then lost touch for 4 years. The very first time we saw each other again, we knew we were going to be together for the rest of our lives and got married 5 months later. That's when I started hearing all of those stories about him having a crush on me and me...

If you haven't heard this already, it's worth a listen! Can it be done? Can we really have a world class educational system? I don't know but; if Barack does get the opportunity to implement these changes then we just might see a radical change in our educational system. Our children are counting on us, isn't it time to stop letting them down? And they say he just has hopes and dreams, the Man obviously has plans for our educational system.

Happy Happy Birthday to my little princess!!! February 11 2002 was the day I gave birth to my little princess, my second daughter, Gabby. She turned the big 6 and was the happiest little person on the face of the earth that day. She couldn't wait to turn 6, it was all she talked about for the past month. The night before she said to me "Mommy, I have an outfit in mind that I would like to wear tomorrow, is that OK?" I thought that was too cute and of coarse I said yes. She picked it out and laid it at the end of her bed with a big smile on her face, anticipating how it was going to look on her for her birthday. It was a cute outfit at that, my little lady's got style! I joke with D. all the time about getting his shot gun ready for this one, she's a natural. I'm not even going to mention what happens when the camera comes out, let me just say she's probably got the most pictures out of all of her siblings....LOL!

A few weeks ago we went on a field trip (to the King Center ) with our homeschool group. I'm ashamed to say that this was our first time visiting the center (as a family) since I've moved here, almost 18 years ago from Brooklyn, NY. We had a wonderful time! The kids enjoyed themselves thoroughly and are looking forward to our next visit (which will be sometime this year, as there is so much to do and see). One of the first things we'll do (that we didn't get to do) is take the tour of Dr. King's home and another would be to bring the camera! This picture was the only one we got because someone forgot to bring the camera.

Saying I Love You Doesn't Always Come From Your Mouth Valentines Day is approaching and February is also the month I got married. The BIG day is February 26th, it will be 9 years. In honor of our love for each other, I'm going to share little nuggets of what I call, "things that say I love you without actually saying , I love you". These nuggets have played a major role in what makes us; US . Ladies, some of you make think the tone may be a bit strong, old school, or just plain wrong. Some of you may like it, who knows? The main thing is this, be open. Consider the positive effects and change it may bring. I would even go as far as to say, try it. Yes, for about a week and quietly observe what happens. I'll try to make as many "love posts" as often as I can and lists a few of them in each post. Enjoy~
