Not So Breezy....


I know that it's been awhile since I've published a new post but I assure you that will change. I'm back!!! For good, this time! I have quite a few new article ideas that I will explore in the following weeks. Right now, I would like to talk about all the children under the age of five, that died and continue to die of hunger and disease in Africa. It's very sad and I believe that actions can be taken to avoid all these deaths from happening. I've seen all the images and videos about the suffering there but I feel like these people know and have known that they are suffering and barely have food to survive. My question is this... why do they continue bringing children into this world? These babies are born to die. Why bring a little one into the world when you know that there is no possible way that you can provide for him or her? My heart goes out in such a way. I am beyond hurt and confused.
I have no children but I do want a family someday. I am patiently waiting for the right time. I don't want to get married but I have a strong desire to be a mother. I am smart enough to wait until I am financially stable enough to care for myself and the child that I will have. I am not trying to under-mind the sanctity of marriage or trying to deny people the right to have children. I only wish that people would be more responsible.
There is always one celebrity or another donating money for the cause. There are also call-in lines and sponsorships to raise money or sponsor a needy child but I still don't see these money's being applied responsibly. Granted, it's a huge problem but where are the real solutions? There seem to be too many mouths to feed and way too much suffering.

Guess Who's Engaged!

I know my personality better than most but when I was asked the big question... well I turned into that little girl that had so many big dreams about how her wedding would be. Darius and I have been together for a while. We have had more than our share of ups and downs, needless to say the majority have been because of me or a particular way I have behaved in the past. So here I am.... 35 years old and finally getting ready to take the plunge. I feel like I'm in my early twenties and starting college... those were the days!!!! I don't know what lies ahead but I have made a promise to myself to be a better person. I know that in marriage, there is no "I", "You" or "Me". There is only "Us" or "We". I won't go into the statistics on marriage and divorce. I refuse to go into this thing and thinking about how it will end. Perhaps it will be a forever type thing. I'm sure that my parents thought and felt the same things tha...

Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Class

There are a lot of people that decide to change careers for any amount of reasons but for me, it was something that I had been debating about for quite some time. I have always loved working with children and helping them as much as I could but when a job goes beyond what you can offer, it may be time to think about doing something different. If you're not filling fulfilled about a job like you used to, perhaps you should rethink things as I did. I did some research about some of the classes and opportunities that were floating around my area, I came across plenty of information about Certified Nursing Assistants. It seemed as if these professionals were in high demand everywhere. I decided to look at the career outlook and path of CNAs. It wasn't glamorous but then again, what job is? I found out that classes were being offered at a community college nearby. I talked to my husband and we both agreed that it was something that I should consider. I ended up signing up for...
