From the Mother of a Young Black Son

Until now, I have been silent because I have not been able to get my emotions in check since the Jordan Davis verdict.  Another young black child, with a promising future has been slaughtered at the hands of a white man, who claims he “felt” that his life was in danger of being harmed by a young black male.  All under the “Stand your ground” law which says that you can provoke an encounter and still use lethal means to defend yourself.  This is basically justified murder, which in some cases encourages an open season against the young black male. This law has a stark resemblance to the “Casual Killing Act of 1669, which states that a slave can be killed by his master, and that the slave’s death shall not be accompanied by a felony. Jordan and Trayvon are not the only children that have died in such “Stand Your Ground” cases.  In Florida alone at least 26 children or teens have fallen victim as result of this abominable law. We are seeing this same scenario repea...

Are You Going to Quit Smoking for 2012?

As a former smoker for many years, I know how difficult it is to finally kick the habit for good!  So please don't use the excuse of "I Can't Quit".  What worked for me which is something that may not necessarily work for everyone was to do it "cold turkey". To continue to smoke at all only seemed to spiral me back into the same pattern of smoking the same number of cigarettes that I swore to stop smoking to begin with.  Recent studies show that most ex-smokers have also chosen this method of quitting as well. How do you know that you are ready to quit?  Well, first you have to always listen to that inner voice.  If it's telling you that you need to quit, then you should listen.  When I was smoking, I got to a point where every time I would smoke a cigarette my conscious would say to me " You Know You're Killing Yourself Right?" Also, if you feel that you are smoking more and enjoying it less, you are definitely ready to quit..  Finally, ...

What's in 2014?

New Years Day has passed and we are 4 days into 2014. I couldn't allow an entire week of the new year to slip away without at least posting my thoughts about the year we have left behind and the year we have just entered into. As I sit here trying to recover from a mild strain of the stomach flu, I am doing some reflecting. I can testify that for me 2013 was the most amazing year.  God showed up in ways that I could never even imagined and I felt his presence throughout my 365 day journey. It started with the passing of my father, whom I later discovered had suffered from numerous strokes and Alzheimer's disease, to meeting my 8 siblings of whom I am the eldest, as well as my father's entire side of the family, for the very first time after 43 years. Talk about being overwhelmed! It was a bittersweet occasion, one in which I feared that I would be rejected. Instead, they all welcomed me with open arms while taking snapshots and shedding tears of course. A month l...
