This will make your day!

I have a lot of great things to talk about today. I had a very unusual experience last night with something you might consider magical, super natural or a blessing. I have been "deliberately" PAYING attention to details lately in my everyday life. I bought a few new magazines to read myself to sleep, I keep them on the bed. About three times the same magazine fell out of bed and when I picked it up the same page would appear. I finally PAID attention and examined the article. Glamour magazine, page 212 REAL- LIFE DRAMA. (like I need more!)
"My Dad the drug lord" is the most amazing story written by Francine Lucas-Sinclair. It wasn't long before I was in tears. On Nov. 2nd Denzel Washington and Russel Crow will star in the new movie "American Gangster." Francine is the real life daughter of Frank Lucas, the drug lord. She is a beautiful woman with a wonderful dream. If you are interested, go to the link below and read her "about us" and the children's bill of rights. At the bottom of her mission page is the link to the article in Glamour.
Like I said, I was moved to tears with her story and wrote to her. She emailed me back before morning! I would like all of my friends to read her story and keep her in your prayers. I will do everything in my power to spread her story, she needs all the support and encouragement she can get.
Please take the time to read her story!
Here are the last few paragraphs from her page. They are extremely important!

It’s time for this to change; time that society starts paying attention to this matter. Thousands of hours are wasted by the media covering the exploits of people such as Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, or Paris Hilton, but children of incarcerated persons remain an afterthought—something most people think they will never have to worry about, unless, of course, they end up in jail, and they happen to have children. At the current rate of incarceration, it is estimated that by 2058, there will be more people in prison in the United States than outside of prison. So it's in our best interest to not only address the children, but also other aspects of incarceration.
To anyone and everyone out there who finds it in his or her heart to lend a hand, whether it be by supporting organizations, talking about the issue, creating laws, filming a documentary or just helping a child that you know, please do.

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO VISIT HER SITE AND SEND HER YOUR PRAYERS AND PROMISE TO HELP.

Scary challenge

(click on photos to enlarge)

Who else is brave enough to do this?

CAN YOU HANDLE THE DARE?


Post OLD hair photos? Do you remember the 1967


BIG teased up to Jesus hair....sprayed with a can of AquaNet?


Total time? a few hours of putting juice can curlers in hair at night,

sleeping in bed with pillows build around your birdcage head, getting up

a few hours early to tease/shape/smooth and spray the BIG DOO!


Fast forward a bit to 1971...same BIG juice can rollers but THEN...


(remember NO blow dryers, curling or flat irons back then).....put your head on

an ironing board and be at the mercy of a friend....to IRON your hair straight!

What were we thinking?
1975 ahhhhhh...let go, let God!

DO SOMETHING SCARY EVERYDAY CHALLENGE! Don'tcha love it?



Eleanor Roosevelt said "Do one thing every day that scares you."
A challenge is no biggie for me.
When someone challenges me, and I mean in any way, shape or form,
my heartbeats get rapid, I get pink cheeks and fishbowl eyes!
Not always wise.
However, I thought I'd challenge everyone this month
to do something each day that scares you and share it here in
the comment section. I will share "some" of mine.
This isn't about taking foolish or risky behavior.
It's about pushing yourself to a higher level. Doing positive things that
you think you can't do.
How can we can push ourselves to take risks--
to do things we might fail or even suck at
(and be hopelessly embarrased by the attempt)?
we can....JUST DO IT...BECAUSE WE CAN!
WE HAVE GLITTER IN OUR VIENS!
THAT'S HOW!
