This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 14, 2008:
It's been a while and life has continued to move forward for me. Some of it has been good and some of it has been bad. Some of it has just been...(when you figure it out let me know). How is it possible that a man can help create a child as wonderful as my son and not do everything possible to make sure that child has what he needs?
I continue to struggle as a single mother; bills keep coming, money keeps shrinking, and food costs more the healthier your try to eat. I can't believe how much harder it is to live each year that goes by. I keep hearing that to lose wait I have to eat more healthy foods; then I go to the grocery store and the choices I have for the money I have to make last is ridiculous. How do I eat healthy when organic foods cost so much more than the other choices and fresh vegetables cost more than canned frozen and processed vegetables. Chicken cost more than the pork that raises my blood pressure, beef is outrageous, and frankly I am tired of wrestling with what is good and what's not.
I thank God for friends like Auwal, Anika, Tonya, and my son AaRon who make each day bearable.
Bills, bills, bills, and more bills. Let's not even get into this presidential campaign. Change is good...sometimes; and sometimes too much change without guidance can do more harm than good. I am looking forward to seeing what comes of this election in November and what happens afterward. Bush has really stuck into a situation where any money our economy creates is shipped to another country. When will we start to heal some of the pain and suffering in our own country and then branch to share what has worked for us. We still have homelessness, extreme destructive addictions, and people living on drugs to tell them that they are happy and that crying is wrong. What has happened. Everyone is in such a hurry to get to the next thing they don't take time to enjoy what they have or the journey that brings them closer to their goals. In the mean time, we are losing our minds, spirituality, and dreams for a better future.
There's a question for you all, what happens when we finally turn into a country that is afraid to dream for the future. What then?
