Review and other stuff

Gotta a new review today for Internal Indulgences and it is mind blowing. I mean, this woman was so kind to my writing efforts, I just couldn't believe it. It is a wonderful review. I am very very appreciate. To read it, click Internal Indulgences .

On another note, I watched America Idol results show on Wednesday. This was the charity event and it was a phenomenal show. They showed situations of poverty in such a real and devastating manner that my perspective was altered. Even Simon, at one point, lost his cool. While visiting a woman suffering from Aids, he had what, for him, had to be a breakdown. He started rambling about how insufferable the room was, the living was, then he stormed out - the pretentious brat in him came forward because he simply had no other way to react (I like him alot). But it was really that devastating.

Now, the only thing that I noticed, I haven't decided whether I take issue with it or not, is that all the celebrity performers were white. Now, I want to believe that was a coincidence. But, this young generation of singers doesn't have much meaningful work to chose from. Still, in America, it is almost unheard of to bring out all these celebrities and not have an African American performer. Since many contributors were also English, I am assuming that the English booked the performances, which would explain alot!

So, I am going to give and try to continue to help. They showed a clinic with 8 beds where over 300 women and children report daily because these babies are dying from malaria. Malaria!! Something a tablet could prevent? It is just devastating. and I can't pretend to be oblivious any longer.....

Back to Life

It's back to life for me. I am trying to determine who I want to be and how to get myself there. More financially responsible. More physically fit. More supporting and nurturing. It is difficult, though, being who everyone needs me to be. Particularly my family. I have found that no matter how much of me I give, it really isn't enough. So the only thing I can do is try to give the best of me, and hope that I will be forgiven my shortcomings...

I made it to NYC this past weekend. I luv New York, but I didn't really get to enjoy it like I normally do, simply ran out of time. Not to say I didn't have a ball. I was there supporting a player in the Jordan Classic - a phenomenal young man. The game was at the Garden and turned out to be a semi celeb event - Michael Jordan, Spike Lee, Diddy's kids, Run's daughters (we think) Tocara (America Next Top Model), Roxi (BET?-I don't watch so I am going on my son's word), and anumber of athletes. Eddie George walked past me twice and looked me full in the face before I realized who he was. Same with Idris Elba. Yes, you all know the type of crush I have on Mr. Elba. But he rolled past while I was seated next to my husband and I couldn't disrespect my man by turning into a straight groupie. I had to admit, it crossed my mind for a minute, though (smile).

So the trip was definitely worth it, definitely worth showing love to our young men who are trying to do the right thing. I am glad I went. So now, its back to life for me....
