My cousin sent me this and I have to let you know that I’m feeling it. If you feel it too, let the world know on Super Tuesday.

We all want what’s best for our kids-right? Well along with food, love, prayer, support and encouragement, you better believe they will need an education. The public school system works as a school system, but I have learned that a “school system” is different from an “educational system.” The school system is in the business of running schools, not educating (That’s only part of the problem). A school has an educational system.

The problem is that the public “school system” hasn’t evolved nor implemented an effective “educational system” that allows our kids the proper tools to succeed in today’s world. Some school systems can’t provide an adequate learning facility for our children to learn, yet we put our children in this environment and expect them to learn and be able to compete on a global scale…that’s bullshit.

Since the public school system is under serving our children, those of us who can afford private schooling for our children usually do so, but a friend and team member of mine, Sandra Frazier, recently wrote a book entitled “Private School, It’s Not Just for the Wealthy Anymore” that puts economics aside and reinforces the importance of a parent’s passion, commitment and dedication to their child’s education. Her book guides you through the process of applying to private schools and shows you how to cut costs on everything from uniforms to fund-raising.

Sandra says,”The biggest part of the process is preparing your child through parenting. Being an involved parent in your child’s activities and learning is essential to making the best educational choice for your family.” Visit www.abettertomorrowpublishing.com and order your copy NOW!

So, before you exercise your right to vote, make sure you are an educated voter that votes for someone who cares about the education of your kids.

What has happened to me? This is supposed to be a vacation.
In the past week, I have been living my life at an accelerated pace that only those who have felt what I’m feeling know what I’m talking about.

This week, I have taken five steps more than my usual count with thoughts of you in my future. My time has been well spent with thoughts of you and I and has turned personal time into our time.

Every love poem ever written was written with the feelings I have for you. Do I understand? No, yet I enjoy the passion and love bestowed up me, so much I am motivate to add my own to the list.

My heart amazes me at how it has defeated insecure thought of you and others and how I have forgotten all about my ‘others.’ But I am also amazed at how strong the heart is and how fragile the feelings are it possess.
GOD’s love has to be incredible to even allow me to taste this emotion and indulge myself in this intangible, indescribable, intoxicating emotional journey that ends tomorrow.

I can’t believe the madness with the Wii Consoles. Weren’t these things out last year? Why is it so popular this Christmas? I thought I was buying my husband’s gift early when I went to the store to purchase a Wii the first week of November. To my surprise the salesman said they were ‘SOLD OUT.’

I thought, OK, I’ll just come back next week when the new shipment comes in and just pick one up, but to my dismay they were ‘SOLD OUT’ again. I tried calling all around town and no one had a Wii.

So I got up early one Sunday morning and stood in line at the Circuit City at 9:00am (one hour before they opened) and I learned that people were there since 6:00am. They received vouchers so that when the store opened at 10:00am they were able to pick up their Wii’s. This was unreal! I have never chased a product and this will be the last time. No Wii for me this Christmas. I hope I can find one for my husband’s birthday in April.

First off, he’s from Chicago.
Second, he’s a proven winner.
Third, he plays quaterback and any football fan can agree that the Bears need a new quarterback. The current bums we have playing QB couldn’t start on my Pee-wee team. I had hope when the Bears gave former Florida Gator QB Chris Leak a shot that we were moving in the right direction, but we have played the same amount of downs (Total plays=0). So what QB gives us the best chance to win, NOW? Donovan McNabb.

McNabb was clearly unhappy that the Eagles drafted quarterback Kevin Kolb with their first pick in last year’s draft and that’s always a sign that Read the rest of this entry »
