What's New:

Well, I have received very possitive feedback on the new design and layout. That makes this all worth while. I wanted my visitors to have easy navigation and a more uniform look. I have added quite a few more pages (check the what's new page for further details). Since I am adding things all the time now, I may have to re-arrange things a bit. But you will always find the navigation on the side to aid your journey. My thinking cap is on over-drive right now, so there will be a lot more essays and personal writings soon. That's it for the update. See you next month! Let me know what you think: You may leave your thoughts at:

Predjudice
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Low paying jobs, mortgage rates too high, gas prices too high, grocery bills almost doubled in price. These are just a few of the things in our daily lives which make it difficult to remain productive adults.

More and more people are finally starting to stand up for what they believe in and not live in the shadows. However, there are still people in society who believe we can still uphold the "Cleaver" image, therefore not accepting times have changed. Becuase of that, people and couples who happily live differently than the neighbors, are ridiculed as they walk out their front door.
The bad thing about this is, it's not even racial problems we need to worry about as much anymore ~ no ~ now they deem it necessary to go after two women or two men who are very much in love. What's worse than that? Merchants gladly take their money for goods and/or services, but let them try to sit at your table or teach your kids at school - even be your sons/daughters Scout Leader. Oh no, they just can't allow that!
Remember, these are just my personal opinions and feelings. I firmly agree everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and morals. But, I must add this: there are still certain aspects in different lifestyles I don't agree with ~ understand ~ but don't agree. The difference is ~ I don't need to put them down ~ especially publically. I try to live my life as honest and noble as I can, and I know there's people who don't agree with me ~ and that's okay too.
The best piece of advice I could give is an oldie but a goodie: Do unto others as you would have done to you. Before you go criticize another ~ attempt to wear their shoes for awhile. I bet in a short period of time you'll have a different opinion.
Look beyond the skin color ~ look beyond the gender ~ look beyond your personal beliefs. If someone has a genuine chance to be loved with freedom from abuse or neglect of any kind ~ be happy for them. Not everyone gets that lucky.
If the world is going to change ~ let it begin with us~

Thank You's:

I'd like to take this opprotunity to say thanks to a few really wonderful people.

Mom: Thanks for always being there ... not only for me, but for my friends as well. I can happily say I have been blessed with the greatest parents that were ever created. You have guided me (and at times I know that wasn't easy) to become the woman I am today. Teaching me to stand up for what I believe and feel. I hope you have the best Mothers Day ... not only on this day, but for all the days to come. Love you.
Ladies Of The Heart®. I would espeically like to thank Kari for starting such a great group! The corprate office is located right here in my home town ... how great is that?! Everday when I open my email, I can count on someone stopping by to say hi or signing in the guestbook. All of the ladies in the group are just awesome. The day I was introduced to the group my mailbox was overflowing in welcomes. Talk about feeling wanted *S*. Anyway, stop by and see what they have to offer. I guarantee you won't be sorry. So thanks to Kari and all the wonderful ladies.
