What Would You Do If You Knew You Couldn't Fail??

I'D TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!! Lol, no really... I think I'd be a pretty good ruler too.. I'm fair and unbiased... I'm a woman, so I'm more sensitive to the issues of human nature than a man (than MOST men, don't spazz out, the rest of you!) and... I've always been an advocate of social justice! I respect and inquire about all cultures... I'd be the bomb. So, what do you say?? Can we vote team Saqqara?? =) What about you? What would you do??

Thank You God... Just My Thoughts

I'm 27 years old, about to be 28 in April.. and I tell you, I have been waiting to turn this age ever since I heard, around the age of 14 or so that you don't KNOW yourself until you turn 28. I thought I know myself, what the heck, you know as a child we think we know it all.. but as the years went by and the growing pains got worse I realized that wow... I really DON'T know myself as well as I thought I did... there was so much to see and explore I didn't want to put myself in a box or classify myself in anyway.. so I began to pay attention to the CONSISTENCIES in my life.. and from there I saw the light, so to speak.. and I've been able to work on my strengths and weaknesses and figure out what it is that really makes me tick or that I have been suppressing in order to be politically correct or better accepted... but now I'm like FUCK THAT. Lol, I try to be ladylike, but then the tomboy come out, I told yall..... anyway, I'm feeling like y life has just begun and even though it has been HARD AS HELL coming into my own, it's definitely happening for me right around the age of 28... I can remember exactly who I heard it from even though it wasn't by mouth, I read it in an interview with Todd Day of the Milwaukee Bucks at the time.... and it always stuck with me... Well Todd, wherever you are, you are right! And I'm glad I'm finally here because no one knows how much I've struggled with my developments... what I can say though is that I never was a follower, i always marched to the beat of my own drum and made sure that things never got too much out of hand.. I have a good job, I didn't let some knucklehead get me pregnant, I handle my business and my money is right.. I'm educated and always looking to improve myself, enjoying life, and what have you... all of us who look at someone else's life and think the grass is greener... 9 times out of 10 it took hard work to get where they are. Trust Me.... I feel so blessed and so happy today to be in my shoes, I wouldn't trade me to be anyone else. Thanks God.

Share Your Hope!!!

O-B-A-M-A!!!!!!!!

IT'S ABOUT TIME.

MARTIN! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!

May. God. Bless. Your. Soul...

ARE YOU READY FOR TODAY, FOR THE INAUGURATION OF THIS NATION'S FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT??!!

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Sooo belated, yet still sincere. I hope it's better than last year. Mwah.

Get Cold-Weather Fly!!

Being down bottom, I can't get winter fly like I used to when I ran the streets of the Midwest! It just doesn't fly down here in Florida... but that's not a complaint, mind you! I have to admit that I miss how you can put an outfit together and rock out, even though you're covered up! Don't we love accessorizing with scarves, gloves, booties and knee-length boots? Leg warmers and leathers??How do you get winter fly??

Is Paying for WATER like paying for AIR??

I was one of the millions of us who got caught up in the big bottled water craze that spread like wildfire years ago... yet we've learned in recent years that the water that comes out of our faucets has more has better restrictions on what goes in it than what we're gulping down from Aquafina, Dasani, etc!! If you were like me, you thought you were getting better water, right? NOT!!

Most of these jokers are getting their water from the same source!! I read up on this and found out some pretty disturbing things.

Check out this website and spread the word... join me in walking away from this craziness:

Start a Tradition With Your Family.... KWANZAA!

What do you all do with your family during the holidays?? Any good recipes to share? I can't wait to start my own and do all kinds of warm acitivites together... unfortunately that's missing in my life.

In the meantime, all you lucky people with big (or small) families full of love and strength let me in on how I can start traditions that can bring mine closer together! Thanks in advance!

Enjoy the Holidays!!

It's Been Awhile!

Hello Everybody! I have been TOO swamped with finals, but thank god they are over! Another semester is complete! I have 3 more 8 week periods and then I am DONE! Yes, I will have completed my BA in Sociology... I just changed it over from Psychology... I can't make up my mind... AND I re-enlisted in the Army for another 6 years... I'm sort of happy about that, but more excited that I'm going to Italy. I have a NATO assignment, that should be really interesting.... Well, I hope all is well with you and yours. Enjoy the season!

Life Is A Bitch!

I really hate to be negative, but this whole being grown thing is not all it's cracked up to be. Coming into my own has been a series of lessons, hardships and pains... Now on the positive side, having the freedom to do what I want to do when I want to do it is a blessing, but there is only so much that can be done when your money is funny.. which brings me to what I REALLY want to vent about.. what career move should I take?

I've been in the military for the past 8 years. I am a SGT who is trying to make that next rank (and pretty close to it I may add.) but as the years have went by, I 've realized that this is NOT what I REALLY want to do with my life. But it's hard to walk away from something that you're comfortable with. It seems to almost be like a marriage, even though I've never been. It's a sure thing, I know it through and through, and it will be with me for the rest of my life if things go as they have been.

But again like I've said, there are other things that I would love to do... I want to express my creative side more. I get the most joy our of beautifying things. Be it makeup artistry, doing hair, interior design or fashion. I love it, love it, love it.


But I am more of an introvert and these careers require quite a bit of networking. I try to use the cosmos (for all my astrology fans out there!) to help me with the necessary skills that I lack, but it can be daunting at times... which is how I'm feeling today.

There is a Jupiter-Saturn connection that brings maturity and a proper sense of proportion for making a big plan that can be effectively executed. Jupiter is about optimism and Saturn is about reality and both are in earth signs (practicality) which are providing a good framework for advancing my career or taking on a major project...

So I say to myself, you've got to use this time to figure out what your next career move is going to be, and what direction are you trying to go in?

I'm so tired of feeling like if I don't spread my wings now I'll live in regret, but then I feel insecure about walking away from something that can be a better things in the long run.

So what do you men and ladies think? I need your help. I'm leaning more towards staying in the Army, I can knock out 10 more years and then really get into what I'd rather do later on.... but I do want kids and a family and it will be SO hard trying to juggle both of those at the same time. So please ket me know how you would handle this situation.... Thanks.

I AM SO HAPPY....

Hello everybody. I am so touched and so inspired and so much in awe of what just happened tonight. My country, the country that once denied my ancestors their civil rights... has made an exception to the rule..

This hole will break open until there are no more holes and everything will be completely together. All playing fields will be level, all things will be balanced. This is perfection..... We have a long way to go, it ain't quite right yet, but this is a definite milestone that I am quite proud to have witnessed.

I spent an hour at work just crying in the bathroom. I had to get myself together.

It's funny I was thinking to myself as I walked back to my desk that I just blew all the flu shot I got earlier out of my nose. Lol. (The nasal spray vaccine)

Anyway, I don't care about that visual you just had of me, lol. I'm just happy to live in a time where things like this can happen. Even as a woman, I am honored as well. I feel proud to be in the military too, I used to keep that on the hush but now it's whatever. Hopefully he'll keep us out of the sandbox so I can go ahead and knock this retirement out!

But y'all, this is SUCH a beautiful thing and I am SO happy and thankful to the most high and appreciative to everyone that went out a voted.

God Bless You all and God Bless America!

OBAMA FOR CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pre-Paid Legal

Do you need assistance with Identity Theft, Legal Representation/Accessibility? Have you prepared your Will? You can have these expert services at your disposal!

If you become a member of Pre-Piad Legal, you can have all of these services and more at yoru disposal. I have been a member for years and decided to upgrade my membership to a business!

I want to share with you why I chose to become an Independent Associate with Pre-Paid Legal.

Months ago, I was a victim of Identity Theft. Due to a popular local grocer's computer system getting compromised, (Sweetbay, all you local Tampanians!!) a lot of people in the area were affected. The grocer sent a letter about it a few weeks later, but by then I thought that everything was okay because I hadn't yet had any incidents of unknown charges. So I stopped shopping there, and requested a new debit card just in case... Well, lo and behold, just ONE WEEK later, there was an $85 Amoco Charge showing in my checking account! (My tank only takes about $45 worth of gas!) So I followed up with that and found that the charge was made on my old card but because the bank account was still the same, it actually went through!

So I decided to take a stand. I am just one of the many who have been affected by Identity Theft and so I chose to the best action was to get myself some coverage.

At the same token, I saw this as a business opportunity to make some extra money. The situation is going to only get worse with Identity Theft, trust me. Pre-Paid Legal was the best way to go, because they cover your identity in every compromisable way, not just your bank account.

I am hoping that people like you will see the security in this, in an economy that has plummeted and will most likely get worse before it gets better.

They're After The Kids, one of the MAIN REASONS I Can't Stay in Florida!

The Jackson County School Board has taken action against a teacher who apparently made racial commentary on presidential candidate Barack Obama. According to parents and students in Greg Howard’s seventh-grade social studies class, Howard on Friday, Sept. 26 asked the class a question regarding Obama’s call for change, and proceeded to write out what the letters C-H-A-N-G-E stood for. “She told me that he wrote on the board ‘Can You Help A (expletive) Get Elected, and then laughed about it,” said Shelia Christian, a mother of one of Howard’s students. Jackson County Superintendent Danny Sims said that description of this incident was “pretty accurate.” Sims said Howard apparently repeated the action in more than one class, having made the comment in “a couple of periods.” According to a news release from the school board, Howard was suspended with pay on Monday, Sept. 29.


Jackson County is near the Alabama and Georgia Border, in North Florida. Reportedly the largest KKK Population in the US is in that area...

Sensitive Skin Beauty

When I was going through my "growing pains" as I like to recall them, my skin began to act UP. I'm talking eczema, allergies, and this was in the late 90's when all the body sprays and lotions became popular, but poor me I couldn't wear them!! Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works were not popping for me... I felt very unpretty and unsmell-goody at times... but now I am re-claiming my beauty... I'm always smelling delicious and I wanted to share one of my all-time favorite places to shop, The Body Shop, not to be confused with the low-end clothing store of the same name, no. I'm talking the pioneered-by-a-woman company that helps other women globally by investing them providing the natural yields of the earth (such as shea nuts from local tribes in Africa) to put into their products. It's all organic baby, and I love it. Just what my skin can handle...
