Impromptu Photoshoot
Some pictures that I amped up randomly. I thought they were of some value and should be shared.
Barack Obama's Brother?
Is it just me or did anyone else not know that Barack Obama had a brother? He lives in China and his name is Mark Ndesandjo. I think they sort of look alike. What do you think? What else do we not know about our President, one would think that this would have been discussed during the campaign.

Happy Birthday Daddy
You know I could never forget your birthday!
Yet another year has passed. I can't believe you didn't warn me how quickly time flies. It's been an eventful year. I have had an array of experiences, tribulations, hurtles and much more. Much has happened, just this year alone. I wish that you were here to celebrate with us. I'm 24 going on 25. As you know, I'm married now. He is the love of my life. I think you would like him because he has good morals and values. He loves me and wants only the best for me. He's extremely kind. I wish you could have met him. I missed you more than words can express on the wedding day, but I felt your presence. Even though you weren't physically there, I know you wouldn't have missed it for anything. You would have been 62 today! Wow! I remember when you were 47 and I thought that was old. Now I realize just how young you really were and although you passed over early, I know you have been guiding me since the day you departed. I just want you to know that we are always thinking about you and missing you each day. You will always have a special place in my heart. Happy Birthday Daddy.Friday, November 13, 2009
Starry, Starry Night
I saw a shooting star tonight. It reminded me of all the possibilities of the universe. It's been a long time since I looked at the sky with a hopeful and optimistic eye. It's almost like when you look at the sky and wonder what remains beyond the earth. Or almost like you have a satisfying feeling of knowing that there is something that is out there.
I suspect that those people that write those movies about the space gazed at those stars once or twice. They likely got lost in those stars and let their imagination run free. Tonight was a beautiful night. It was one of those nights when you look up at the sky and see everything clearly. You are satisfied and for just one short moment in time it all makes sense.Tuesday, November 10, 2009
God Speaks
God Speaks
WHERE does God speak to you? Have you ever noticed that God speaks most clearly while in the bathroom? Or is that just to me? I was just noticing that both the hubby and I have had recent conversations with God in our bathroom on two separate occasions. Who knew our bathroom was a holy place? So I finally realized why I've been in a funk lately. It was revealed that we are all here to do work. Work as in God's work, and to fulfill a greater purpose. So I that's what I need to do. So simple, yet so deep. And like a breath of fresh air there's hope.

Today I am lost
I don't know which direction to turn. With each breath I want to be inspired, I want to be ambitious. I so badly want to be the old me- the inspired me, but I don't want the consequences that was accompanied with that inspiration, with that motivation, with that. I am fearful of the dreams that used to bring me great comfort. I don't want to sleep at night. I sleep during the day. I'm angry because I sleep the day away. I only have two hours of day light each day and the night never seems to end.
I'm angering the cheerful half. I am not really feeling much of anything other than frustration and anger and some hopelessness. . I am not feeling inspired. I need a way.Today I am lost. Tomorrow I do not yet know.Thursday, November 5, 2009
Blessings on Their Way
The world is an orchestra and God is the great composer. Have you ever wondered why all things come in good time? Or when all hope is lost and the world seems dark a door opens where another one shuts? I have. Just yesterday, I asked my hubby why some good people die early and people who are molesters, rapists and murders are granted long lives? While, I still don't have an answer to that question, and probably never will, I do know that God is the composer of the greatest song. Like most of the world, I too have been effected by the recession. It seems that I can make no decision without thinking about how much things are going to cost. It's a very difficult time right now entering the workforce after being in school my entire life. I wonder if there could have been a worse time. It seems like finding even odd jobs can be extremely difficult in such an economy and at times I'm sure the money shortage has left us all feeling a bit low these days, but it's important to know that each day God makes miracles happen and many blessings.

Youtube
I am really enjoying YouTube these days. Like most of you, I have been a longtime member of the YouTube community. The funny thing is that I never really noticed the communities on YouTube because I only accessed it for academic purposes. I am not really sure how I fell into the whole YouTube community, other than a friend tipping me off to the great makeup tutorials. I watched a few and immediately thought, "I can do that too!" So I tried to do a few- and I did. I was fairly successful, but realized that overall even though I was contributing to the community by making videos for African American women, I felt as though my videos were not extremely significant or ground breaking in anyway. As a result, I have sort of put the makeup tutorial videos away- I'm not yet sure what I will focus on, but it was fun while it lasted! Other than that I'll just be on the hunt for other really great YouTube videos.
