Sweet November!

As November closes, we put behind our month. Ours meaning me, my sister, and my mom. We all see our ages increase during the month of November. We were able to celebrate another of God's blessings in more time on this earth. As corny as that might sound. LOL.

We had a blast too. What can you say. The Yankees are world champs, Thanksgiving was awesome, I got banana pudding for my birthday, and my sister is still a dork! What else can you ask for. I only do hope that my mother could enjoy another year just as much as her children did. She is always looking out for us and making sure we have everything she can give us, still. It's not just cliche that children are children no matter how old we get. And when we're facing obstacles, she turns up the volume just a little bit. But enough for us to feel her love. The same love that was passed down to her by her mother. So thanks mom, for yet another Sweet November!!



See yall next time on WKMC Radio!! (LOL, yall know I'm silly)

Thanksgiving 2009!

I always have so much to be thankful for, and as cliche as that may sound it is so true. I heard somebody say on the radio that everyday is Thanksgiving, so she is thankful everyday. I do echo those sentiments. Because, although Thanksgiving comes around once a year, we shouldn't reserve exclusive gratitude to just that day alone. God is here everyday of our lives, through the good and the bad.
I have my family, my sister and my mother, through rough times, trials & tribulations. What I would have done without them is beyond me. But my mom continues to take care of me the same as she did when we were little. My sister has grown to be a beautiful woman, who has matured and learned what a selfless, caring person can display when they are able to face their fears and stampede right through them. With God's grace, he can pull us all through those kinds of progressions. My cousin/godsister/(i'll reserve any further comments) Cyria is a fun-loving sweetheart and we did have so much fun with her. I wish the girl would show herself more because she is truly a joy to be around. Cy, you are loved and I do wish I can get to know the woman better. My aunt, who has been through so, so much these past 2 years. When faced with obstacles, the family has pulled together and seen her through. She is a testament of a true warrior and giving up is not an option in our family. So, she is being seen through and climbing the mountains and God has certainly been good to her. My uncle, who does NOT get enough credit in the family but is the TRUE EXAMPLE of what a husband should be. They have stood the test of time in their marriage and have been role models for me for what I would like to become in my family. I do not care about when people are not understood, when they are doing the right things credit is due. And I certainly do appreciate them giving me something to look forward to and to strive towards. I love my Teaneck family, including my cousins Khadijah and Gigi, who anybody would be proud of knowing their story and their successes.

To all of my people, from my dad, who is my best friend, to Max, Resheemah, Hass, Michelle, and everybody who I have ever came across and love, and to those who are missing this year, much Thanksgiving to all of you. I have a lot of love in my heart, which some people may not realize, and you are all part of it.

Come, share my story!!
