Stepping out on faith and following your dreams has to be one of the scariest things EVER. However, I keep getting subtle confirmations that its all going to worth it in the end. I’m so excited to see where God is going to take me on this journey and thankful for the encouragement he gives along the way. Love…

Let yourself be great! You are the ONLY person that can keep you from fulfilling your dreams…get out of your own way and see what happens : )

Putting pen to paper, or in this case, fingers to keyboard has been a lot harder for me lately. The motivation to express how I’m feeling, vent, or just release a little comic relief has been non-existent. So I guess this post may just be full of nothing lol but it’s a start right? I step in the right direction of writing again.
Have you ever just felt blah? Not extremely happy but not sad either. Just straddling the emotional fence? Honestly at first I welcomed the feeling of not feeling. It was a nice alternative to the emotional rollercoaster we as women can typically put ourselves on. I wasn’t wasting tissue or smearing makeup on my favorite t-shirt wiping away tears. I could still crack jokes and laugh for hours with my friends but when everyone was gone and I was by myself, I just felt nothing. Do we always have to feel one way of the other? I did find that I wasn’t motivated to do the things that I needed to do anymore. I wanted to continue the carefree feeling and that crossed over to every aspect of my life. While I made sure my home and work was taken care of, everything else took a backseat. Maybe God is telling me that I need to reshift my priorities…
Sitting here writing these feelings out is kind of overwhelming (here comes that rollercoaster -_____- lol)
I welcome any thoughts or advice…although I’m not sure if this is one of those posts lol Until next time….
Although I haven’t really felt motivated to write anything lately, I couldn’t let the day go by without recognizing its importance. Today marks the 11 anniversary of “9/11”…I can’t believe it’s been 11 years since that tragic day. Like everyone else I remember exactly where I was, what I was doing, and how I felt. This morning as I drove into work, I passed by the pentagon and was overwhelmed by how fresh that memory feels. I personally didn’t lose anyone, but my heart hurts for everyone that did. All of our lives changed that day and I pray that another tragedy doesn’t have to happen to bring our country together again. RIP to all of the innocent people that lost their lives that day and to the soldiers that died to protect and defend our honor.
By now, many of you will have seen this ridiculous tweet from Ben Shapiro, an editor for Breitbart.com and a prominent conservative noise maker.
What many of you may not know, is who Dred Scott was and why this comment is so vile.
Dred Scott was a slave whose master took him to the free (anti-slavery) state of Illinois. There, Scott sued claiming that he could no longer be a slave since Illinois outlawed slavery. In other words, he claimed his civil rights were being violated, and demanded that the federal courts declare him free. In one of the worst — if not the worst — decisions in American history, the Supreme Court ruled against Dred Scott (in 1857) because — and I am not making this up — all persons of African descent brought into the United States for the purposes of slavery were by definition not US citizens and therefore had no standing to sue in US courts for violation of their civil rights. In other words, whatever the laws of the state in question, even free blacks were not US citizens with rights if they or their ancestors were brought to the US for the purpose of slavery.
So excuse me, Mr. Shapiro, if I can’t quite equate the requirement to buy health insurance or face a fine with the denial of one’s status as a human being and a citizen on grounds of one’s race.
It’s one thing to not like Obamacare and the individual mandate. It’s another to imagine that your problems look anything like Dred Scott’s.
emphasis mine.
This guy can’t be serious. He knows that it’s almost 2013 and people aren’t this out of touch with their brothers. Politricks is a bitch out here.
Idiot.
Wow…smh
