WHEN A BIRD SINGS....

Today, I thank you... Thank you for not calling me...for not helping me prolong this unneeded stress Today, I thank you... Thank you for being selfish...because it helped me to realize all of my worth Today, I thank you... Thank you for not appreciating all of what was me because now I can give myself to someone who does Today, I thank you... Because even your turmoil has allowed for me to smile...so thanks! (special shout out to Keith...because his words really spoke to me)

Kindred souls...are spirits are enhanced as our union begins to tell an untold story; because I swear I knew him before I met him Right now, I write for you...because through chaos and commotion only thoughts of us shows clarity So I question my safety...my mind is at its most stable focused on you But I put my faith in hope and the possibility...that it is possible for our skin to connect as one...because that's simply the only way to know I am completely yours... I work it out on paper...so I can ensure my thoughts clearly reflect these emotions I only think of myself as a bother sometimes because even when we are not united in this physical space...the Earth somehow routes a piece of your soul to me....so I feel always with you I can't fully decide; if this is gravity pulling us together or some master plan of yours unfolding Kindred souls...because although we may deny it; our destines have been predetermined.

I challenge you to make at least ONE lifestyle change to reduce your carbon footprint. Here are some ideas: No more bottled waters (purchase a container that you can use to refill) Thrift store shopping Bring your bags with you shopping Purchase a Hybrid (for you ballers!) Turn off lights not being used (use energy efficient light bulbs)

Following the Oscar Grant case and much debate surrounding President Obama..I felt the need to address: what are YOU doing? So many people are upset with verdict and the sentencing of the Oscar Grant case. As you should be! But just getting mad isn't enough! Going out to the rally in support isn't enough! Calling my phone and asking me what I think, isn't enough! So I pose the questions: What are YOU doing? We as a community (however you want to define that word) must take these emotions into strategics actions. So many people are not satisfied with President Obama? As you should be! Because President Obama didn't get into the White House by himself. If you thought he was going to get into office and change the institution of AMERICA!! Then you thought wrong, and sorry to disappoint. So yelling in class "Obama hasn't done anything" (without any facts as too why you are saying that) isn't enough? Being mad at Fox News for nothing but negative coverage...

[disclaimer: as you can see...I said "unborn" , but actually she hasn't even been conceived!! LOL, so please don't fill my FB and Twitter accts with "are you preggers?" questions. And for those like...*cough* Lijah...who continues to insist that I may not have a daughter, but a son...I say "whatever". Because as you can see...my unborn daughter makes me strong...so even if she only remains a figment of my imagination, she is helpful in my growth] [to my unborn son...I love you just as much and don't think I forgot about you...but its a woman thing! And you'll understand because I only imagine you being one of the most bright, consciously aware men on the planet] Dear Daughter, I woke up at 5:00am this morning. With more than one thing on my mind, but one being you. Just to let you know...omg, girl! you have a lot of pressure on you and you are not even here. First, I wanted to thank you because you inspire me. You inspire me to wan...
