My words, my pictures, my reality.
I am not concerned with fashion. I am more concerned with what is inside. Right now, I am trying to figure out this thing called life. I am re-evaluating everything. I'm learning what is important to me and what is not. I am learning which relationships are vital and those I can do without. Some lessons have been hard to learn, but that's life. Life is about learning. I am here to blog the trials and triumphs that are my life. Just my thoughts, feelings, and an occasional picture or two. Feel free to comment.

This site is full of random crap about me and my life. I write what I want, when I want. If you like erratic and random, you've come to the right place.

You can't put me into any box; I won't fit. I stopped caring what people think years ago and I like me more now...

Heads Turned for: "Not just a day off..."
do you watch boondocks?
last night's episode was about what Dr. King would think of the state of the black community and the nation as a whole if he were still alive...
Anyway, I know many people are doing community service today in honor of MLK day, but I'm admittedly lazy. Enjoy your day.
Don't hate me but I actually woke up today and didn't remember it was MLK day until I thought about the mail not coming. I've had so much on my mind lately. I've been so busy sometimes I'm trapped in my own little world and only think about what I have to do. The holidays knocked me off balance and I have yet to recover, LOL!
acutally its a honored day... off, that we would never ever come.
Funny now how part of Martin's family want to sell that legacy...
sad too.
very graceful indeed.
Now there is an honourable person =)
So great, we must never forget.
Ah.. he always reminds me that no obstacle is too great or too fearsome for someone who is doing the right thing.
Welcome back BB. Missed ya!
Happy New Year Brea! I must commend you on the photo. I've seen so many great photos of King all over the internet. You're right, its not just a day off...its much more than that.
it's really not but that's what it has turned into for a great deal of people.
I agree.
I concur. I loved sleeping late but I had to remember why I even have the job I have
Brea, long time no see. There so much I admire about this man. I had a chance to do the tour in ATL. They have so many details about his life down to the cologne that he wore, Aramis.
Hello Brea, it's been a minute.
that's so tru
"lest we forget"
A picture of a HERO.
When I heard him on various recordings throughout the MLK holiday, I raised my fist in support, and gave that close-lipped smile/ look of approval, while the head tilts slightly. Know what I mean?
He was a hero. I'm very thankful for his influence in our history.
What would he think if he knew Bush was showing up at MLK parties? That was such a joke. That's like an Atheist going to a pope's memorial.
When I was pregnant with Charlie, I sat watching the I've Got a Dream series I'd gotten from the library, and sat praying with my hand on my belly the entire time that Charlie would have that kind of conviction to serve others. He never fails to amaze me with the way he accepts and encourages all people. The only trouble he's ever been in is standing up for people who can't stand up for themselves. He has a framed picture of MLK in his room and one on his desk.
I thank God daily for MLK and men like him.
It's amazing how some things are powerful enough to speak for themselves.
I love this photo.
Amen to that, sis.
