This a beautiful piece of poetry and pays homage to the great trailblazers of our past generations, and the new ones yet to come. In recognition of just how far we have come as a nation, but lest we forget, just how much more we need to go as a people. The accomplishment of Barack Obama has set yet another high watermark in our rich history as a people. We must continue the fight to achieve peace among our race and other races. White/Asian/Brown/Gay/Straight brothers & sister have shown us they too see that “Hope” can come in many forms and colors. So brothers and sisters take heed and lay down those crystallized rock & crack pipes you peddle to your brothers & sisters black and white, lay down your pistol you’ve use to kill you fellow kindred, pull up your pants & pull down you skirts, go back to your sons & daughters and take up your responsibility & rightful mantle for what’s your, pick up those books and achieve. Open your minds to the new possibilities. For God has given us all a great gift in our lifetime to try yet once again. Don’t blow it! Reach beyond the new watermark and soar…
My transition to Texas has been a real challenge. For the most part, I have had to create my environment, my atmosphere, my interest, my pursuit, my quest and at times my DIVERSION. Anywhere can be a lonely place when your entire family is on the other side of the map. A friend once told me, “if you want a friend, show yourself friendly.” Well...sometimes that only works when you’re vibin’ on affirmations. So, with that in mind, I started this blog as part of my journey to finding a more fruitful life, when it’s just you. I'm hoping this blog will become more from me and from you. This is only the beginning. Maybe you’ll take a trip on my journey to more fruitful days & splendid getaways. Maybe it will give you the courage to be with yourself…by yourself and rediscover yourself. I will share with you the vacations & staycations gone by and the one's to come. It may even help some of you in your transition from the place you now call home or maybe just help you start enjoying where you are, right now or just for now. (Please do not make copies of my photos. If you would like a photo to print or post, just email me. Please enjoy and leave comments).
