When the sun is shining brightly,
& our life is running smoothly.
We find it easy to smile & be pleased,
To praise and give thanks to God.
But when dark clouds begin to gather,
... & our life looks grim & bleak.
We begin to grumble & complain,
& blame God when things go wrong.
It is when the clouds are the darkest,
That we should draw closer to God.
For he is the silver lining in every cloud,
The light in the center of our world.

When you feel that you have reached the end
& you cannot go one step further,
when life seems to be drained of all purpose;
what a wonderful opportunity
to start all over again,
to turn over a new page

So many in our world seeking violence as the answer,
Territorial, revenge driven, causing more chaos than cancer,
Life is limited, yet more worthwhile at peace,
Imagine the tranquility if this destruction would cease,
Medieval battles to recent terrorism campaigning,
... Surely intelligence can resolve existing wars from remaining,
Ensuring our children & future generations can co-exist,
Our world must join forces in peaceful harmony & persist

A Drug Problem

I had a drug problem when I was young.
I was drug to church on sunday mornings.
I was drug to church for weddings & funerals.
I was drug to family reunions no matter the weather.
I was drug to the bus stop to go to school every weekday.
I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults.
Those drugs are still in my veins and they affect my
behavior in everything I do, say, and think.
they are stronger than cocaine, crack, or heroin, and
if todays children had this kind of drug problem,
America might be a better place.This poem wasn't written by me. My fiance found it in a local newspaper in his hometown. I certainly believe in this kind of drug problem. Thank you sweetheart, for sharing this cute poem:)

No matter what happens
No matter how far you seem to be
Never stop believing that you will somehow make it
Have an unrelenting belief that things will work out
That the long road has a purpose
That things you desire may not happen today but they will happen

LOVE YOU!

Let someone love you just as you are.
As flawed as you might be,
as unattractive as you might feel,
as unaccomplished as you might think you are;
let someone love you just as you are.
And let that someone be you.

Be Grateful

Be grateful for the beauty all around you
Appreciate the sky while it's blue
When skies turn to grays
Love that color as it stays
With such variety and diversion

Don't greet the day with aversion
Or fall for the mediocre and mundane
Keep your thought bright, uplifted and sane
Life forever flows with a forward motion
Ride the highest wave in this beautiful ocean

Racist Ad Or Not?

For three days, the image (pictured Left) of a beautiful little girl stood 29-feet high and 16-feet wide over the Soho district with the words:
"The Most Dangerous Place for an African American Is In the Womb."
As criticism of the racially motivated billboard, labeling the wombs of African-American women "dangerous," reached a fever pitch, Louisiana-based Lamar Advertising ordered it removed from the corner of Sixth Avenue and Watts Street, in New York City.

I believe the most dangerous place for anyone, Black, White & others, is without an education! The ad is insensitive & offensive. Statistics can be manipulated to reflect whatever the person wants the public to believe. Healthcare/Services received by the participants on government assistance is easily tracked for funding purposes - I highly doubt anyone has an acurate account of how many Ashleys paid cash for their abortions or the Dr who pocketed the money & kept it confidential,hence the staggering difference!

New Meaning

 Through life we experience unpleasant moments that bring us down and finally we lose our hope.Suddenly something happens (we find new people who truly understand us and they prove to be our soul mates in our life journey) and our life has meaning .Thank you Felix, for being my soul mate xoxo

Every day is a new chance to choose.
Choose to change your perspective.
Choose to flip the switch in your mind. Turn on the light and stop fretting about with insecurity and doubt.
Choose to do your work and be free of distraction.
Choose to see the best in someone, or choose to bring out the worst in them.Choose to be a laser beam, with focused intention, or a scattered ray of light that doesn't do any good....
