In Remembrance!

Today is a day that America observes brave soldiers who have gone to war and lost their lives fighting for our country.  Not only should we respect the day by remembering the lost but thinking about their families who have to deal with such loss.  Prayers and good thoughts to the brave soldiers and families.

Our fabulous country is what it is today because of willing citizens risking their lives for our freedom.

Living a Dream

Today, we celebrate the birthday of a true and prophetic visionary, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We were born at such a time as this to actually experience the dream. And, on tomorrow we will witness the manifestation of the cause that Dr. King and many others alongside him fought hard for-the inauguration of the country's first African American President, Barack Obama. I can truly say that I am proud to be an American.

To listen to the ever so powerful, "I Have a Dream" speech, go here. Enjoy this day and embrace the time for change.

Happy Planning,

A Time of Remembrance

A big {heart} felt thanks for the many of our U.S. brothers and sisters who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect and serve our country. And, for the loved ones that have left the Earth to be with the Lord, I am grateful to have had deposits of love, wisdom, and joy placed in my spirit.

Fellow bloggers, please take some time today to remember those who have dedicated their lives to protect and serve our country and also those late family members and friends that have deposited lasting memories into your life. Have a safe holiday!

True Perseverance

Earlier this week, we held our commencement exercises and it was great!

Pictured left is the 2008 Valedictorian and she definitely deserves this high honor. I've been meeting with her for about 2 years and to witness the strength that this young lady has is amazing and inspiring.

She has had the tough responsibility of tending to her terminally ill father, younger teenage sister while trying to support the family with a part time job, and serving on several high school committees (and well). All of this while in high school and continuing to remain the top in her class. At the end of her junior year of high school, she added another responsibility of mother. But you know what!? She didn't let setbacks pull her away from her divine comeback.

This young lady is an inspiration to me. She is so young and haven't yet been through everything life has to throw her way but what has been given to her, she has taken and made into success. I look forward to getting updates from her while going to college to succeed there and to see how greater of a mother she is
to become. I hope that this tidbit will inspire you, too! Great Job, Brit!!!!

Her baby is really a cutie pie, but for his safety and protection I avoided letting his face be fully seen. I know you understand!

Happy Mommy's Day!

I pray that each Mother in the blogging world has a fabulous day today! For me, it is such a blessing to be Lil' Queen Bee's mommy and experience the love that my own mom has shared with me.

Enjoy this day and be sure to let other moms know how special they are to the nurturing of our earth.

Happy Mother's Day!

Celebrating the birth of a Visionary!

Good Day, All! Today is a day of celebration-celebration of the birth of a true visionary, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He literally gave his life to fight for justice not only for African Americans but for all human beings. He wasn't ashamed to stand for something, he was determined to be someone-and that he is.If you have children, please share with them the meaning behind the holiday. Encourage those close to you to remember the way that has been paved for us. We all are now free to inspire, love, and live life to the fullest.Stand for something, Be someone, Change Lives. Have a blessed day!
