Bring in the New Year...

    In two days we will all be celebrating the ball drop and remembering that you write 2012 instead of 2011!! I have never done a big New Year's celebration. My family and I just have a mini celebration at the house. This year I get to join a few friend's for a celebration at someone's house!! Par-tay over there!!! Anyways...that's not the point
     I have always wondered why everyone waits for a New Year to make resolutions. If I plan on bettering myself or making a change I don't want to wait for a new year to make changes. Why not tomorrow? What's wrong with going into 2012 already a new person? I appreciate the concept of, "a new year, new me." Personally, I feel that on July 7 I should be able to make the same resolutions.
     Instead, we should be focused on making new habits...everyday. If I noticed that I have been lacking in faith and need to be more prayerful I shouldn't wait until the new to change that. I should find a way to work prayer into my everyday or whatever my 'flaw' may be.
     Needless, to say I didn't make any New Year resolutions. I'm constantly working on being more positive and bettering myself. I'm determined to make better habits. More volunteering. More smiling. More praying. More praising. More loving. More reading. More understanding. More learning. More exercising. I think you get where I'm going. With that being said:

What are some of your New Year's Habits????

Ode to Ann Arbor

In about 4 days I will be saying farewell to Ann Arbor. And like I said before I'm excited to be going home but there is also a saddens that surrounds my move. I have done a lot of growing, changing, experiencing, and evolving here! So to have to say farewell to all of that is going to be difficult. I will miss: 1. Second Baptist!! I learned a lot about myself at this church. I am glad to call this my church home because without them I would probably be a hot mess! The one thing I can say faithfully is that my journey with them is not over! There are still things that need to be done here I will be back! 2. My friends!! I have met so many different people here. Some that will never leave, some that kept me entertained during class and others that I have drifted away from. But they all had a part in Michigan experience. 3. Gamma Delta! I have been through a lot with these young women and couldn't have asked to be part of a better, more productive, or more illustrious chapter!! T...

Where to start?

I have been off of work since September 19th and one would think that I would be losing my mind. While there are days I am sitting in my house pulling my hair out I have been surprisingly content. Which is more than a blessing. I have been able to take care of myself and not stress too much. So with that being said here's the rundown: 1. I have a freaking cast!! I have never broken anything so this is new to me! I HATE IT!!  Mostly because it's on my dominate hand and my whole life has been complicated! All of this for a torn/out of place tendon. Which mind you I hurt in July! Either way I'm trying to let my wrist heal and all that jazz. Just know that because it's hard to type it will be harder for me to post. 2. I just received another heart break. I have really been trying to not let this bother me but it's hard. I have always been good enough to be a friend or almost a Girlfriend but never that. At some point you stop thinking that something is wrong with ev...

"1 to the head now you know he dead..."

Like everyone else in America I have just watched Rihanna'a "Man Down" video. Now if you haven't seen it already I suggest you watch it before continue to read my post. Only because you might be confused when I make specific references! Now to my personal opinion: I want to begin by thanking Rhianna. I feel that what she has done is very worthwhile given her previous release of S & M. I won't lie and tell you that when that song came on I sang along like everyone else. Even though I'm not really a fan of whips and chains and all that other jazz but it was just so darn catchy! I'm getting off topic again. Man Down for me was one of Rihanna's most moving videos and songs to date. I believe she took a chance on taboo topic. Most of the arguments have been that the opening image of the video is "too graphic." Really? I find that hard to believe. I know that, I like many Americans, have been de-sensitized to violence. So that could be part of ...
