I'm not going to post on a "woman's right to choose" nor am I going to tell you or anyone that the government shouldn't tell you what to do with your body. No, those are arguments used by Pro-Choice people when making the argument that they have a right to an abortion if they want one.

I want to ask the question: why choose an abortion in the first place?

In the case of incest and rape, I personally have no issue with the concept of abortions although deep down, I wish that the… Continue

DEATH OF A BLACK WOMAN

{This is DEEP!}

While struggling with the reality of being a human instead of a myth, the strong black woman passed away. Medical sources say she died of natural causes, but those who knew her know.


She died from being silent when she should have been screaming, smiling when she s… Continue

About 23 or so years ago, a former Ms. Black Washington, DC said to me that "beauty is a curse." Men didn't take her seriously; women hated on her; she was constantly stared at wherever she went; employers didn't look at her talent so much as how she looked; men were afraid to talk to her because they thought of her as 'unapproachable.' I figured if she was talking to ME, how unapproachable was she?

In getting to know her, she was sweet, fragi… Continue

I work for an entity that has been designated by the FCC to accomplish certain goals by providing groups with funding. The goals are noble and literally everything that we do is geared towards sending money to those qualifying organizations. No other goal matters.

During our Board meetings today, I listened to the Directors all speak in terms of what they/we can do better for the sake of the applicants. How can we make it e… Continue

Taking the initiative closes the door to fear. We all have fears. The question is, are we going to control them or allow them to control us? Norman Vincent Peale said: "Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all." To have any chance at getting what we desire, we need to wor… Continue

On Monday, news reports offered the latest piece of evidence that the country is moving toward greater acceptable of medical marijuana use: The federal government sent guidelines instructing prosecutors not to focus on prosecuting state-sanctioned medical marijuana users and suppliers.

Fourteen states… Continue

Do you plan to get the H1N1 flu shot? Do you have any concerns about its safety? Do you usually get the regular seasonal flu shot?

I haven't made a decision yet. I always get the seasonal flu shot and I did a couple of weeks ago, but the H1N1? I'm not sure. The news says x number of people have died from the sw… Continue

I'm back and ready to blog! My blogs are a bit of this and a bit of that, with lots of humor!!!

In my CPR class yesterday, as I was wrapping up the First Aid portion, I talked about our bad habits as safety issues. I spoke how smoking is the leading cause of heart disease, and how our fatty and starch-laden diet leads to high blood pressure and strokes and how we do things to make us vulnerable and unsafe. My audience was comprised of foster parents who are on a noble mission to provide a loving home to children who are… Continue

Your hands and your eyes speak louder
To my heart than life
Move my mind more swiftly than the wind
Flare my soul with more heat than the sun
Melt my body more tenderly than water

The touch of your big hand
So loving on my welcoming skin
Ever awkward from your boyhood
Endearing in its uncertainty
Even aft… Continue
