The way things have to be.

This past weekend involved more downs than ups. I had a very big falling out with my relative and she is completely angered at me for being honest with her. Sometimes the truth hurts and we all need to hear it sometimes. I've come to the conclusion that sometimes you have to separate yourself from those that are closest to you. I am not a negative person and I know that I cannot allow negativity in my life. I'm hoping that time apart will allow her to do some self reflecting. I know that all I can do is hope and pray that she will come to the realization that as humans we do make mistakes and that we need to learn from them. We first need to know and be able to admit when we are wrong. Life is too short to sit around around playing the blame game and pointing fingers. It's hard to tell someone that they are selfish...and even harder for them to hear that and admit it. I have always had a problem with selfish people. People who are selfish are self centered, self absorbed and think of only themselves. They don't think about the people whom they hurt on the way. I know that in one way shape or form we've all had our selfish moments. Maybe you had something that you didn't quite want to share. One who is selfish doesn't think about others. They always find a way to revert things back to them. Always finding a way to make up an excuse for their own selfish tendencies. Sometimes you just have to learn how to bless and release and just let things go. I know that I can care....from afar. I know that I can love....from afar.....and I know that I can be there from afar.

Together We Made It!!!!

Together we made it. We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall. Forever we waited....and they told us we were never going to get it but we took it on the road on the road on the roooooad on the road on the road on the roooooooad!!!!!!


Today we embark on a new day!!!!! We have a new president of our country. Change is on the way....but change doesn't happen over night. Change first starts with you as an individual and as a citizen of this country. Yesterday millions went out to the polls...many standing in long lines for hours on top of hours just to exercise their right to vote. Watching Obama give his speech last night was not only a pivotal moment for me but it was a pivotal moment for our country. As an individual I will rise and stand with my fellow people. This is a historical moment for me and everyone else in our country. I am so emotional right now. I cried tears of happiness and I also cried tears of sadness. Tears of sadness because I wish that my grandparents and other loved ones whom have passed on were here to witness this moment in time. I can tell my children that they too can be the president of the United States of America if they want to…….and the color of your skin is no longer an issue. Today I am overjoyed with excitement but I too am ready for a change and ready to see what Obama can and is willing to do for our country!!!!!!!
