Happy Birthday BabyGirl ....Sweet 16th

My Babygirl has become of age today...by definition a young person transition from childhood to adulthood. The age at which this transition takes place varies in society, as does the nature of the transition. I remember her first birthday to first steps, talkin and jumpin down a flight of stairs my little dare-devil, she is not afraid to try new things dancin, singin , her poems and short stories are expression of her thought patterns of thinking outside of the box. A heart of gold but can set things correctly if need be...sista-girlfriend "Attitude" classy and not too ghetto LOL! She looks to find good in all people no matter the race,ethnic,nor religion they may be.....she's not naive about her surroundings nor judgmental of others.
My daughter has been speaking Japanese since Pre-school. Her plans are to become an international interpreter for the Government. She is the 3rd baseman and the cleanup hitter for her High School softball team. Her Grade GPA is 3.2...it would be higher if she cut down on the social life and study a little more. That's the proud father coming out of me..Our father/daughter relationship is very important to me due to the fact that father's help our young girl's to become women...yes, they need their mother's love and guidance but the father shows them how to valve themselves and not to settle for less than.
OK...I get so emotional reflecting on how blessed I am to have been trusted by God to father OUR "India".

Love you very much BabyGirl,

Your Father, Dad and Authority figure

PS: I am not your friend...inside joke! Ask India she might like to tell you or not!

Marriage and the Economy---Can’t Buy Me Love

Image
The other day I heard a report on the economy where the new jobs created numbers were being reported. Everyone was excited about the 162,000 jobs that had been created even though the unemployment rate had not dropped and the majority of the jobs being talked about were temporary and seasonal. The census helped 2010 in a temporary way. This news was very distributing to me. So distributing that I sat down and wrote a letter to President Obama, have not mailed yet but I did write it. The letter basically informs President Obama on the state of my America. As I wrote, all I could see was that middle class Americans like me and many others would never be the same. America was changing, not the President’s fault but changing still the same. My spirit was broken by what many couples have to face; so I started looking up statics to see how finances really impacted marriages. I also looked up these numbers for my own research because Marcus and I noticed that w...

I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watching Me!

August 29, of this year (2010), my queen and I will be married for twenty three years. As I look back on that day, I smile as I remember how my queen laughed as she told me that she could tell how nervous I was by the way I repeated my vows. She said as I spoke my vows my tone became louder and louder, this is how she came to the conclusion that I was nervous. I personally don’t believe that I was nervous at all. I was and remain the same today, confident and sure regarding the decision that I was making. I can honestly say that this statement is one of fact because I feel stronger and more assured today regarding my decision to marry…even more than I did on my wedding day. Thinking back I start to ponder my vows and how they have been tested and tried. What did we declare on that day before God and man? We declared to be together for richer or for poorer, for better or for worst, in sickness and in health, till death us do part. Funny but most of us only hear, receive and live half...

Putting Down Your Baggage

Image
Most people have the lifelong burden of carrying baggage that does not belong to them. Baggage of pain, hurt, un - forgiveness, bitterness, sadness, humiliation and broken hearts. The problem with these types of baggage is that over time you get emotionally drained by the weight laid on your heart and your minds, you continually think about how bad it feels and slowly sink yourself into subconscious depression.When this happens you wonder why all seems so bad way before a doctor’s diagnosis you begin to crumble. You may begin a relationship that seems to go no further than a certain point as if there was a barrier preventing you from pursuing higher heights.Your job may be a never ending struggle as your heart is preoccupied with other feelings, your mind with other thoughts and your life still in the past. Because of this you will find it hard to create any type of future life as you are trying to walk forwards but thinking and feeling backwards. The saddest part is that you cannot be...
