I'm getting it!

I finally figured out how to put in the pictures. I am so excited! Be patient with me, your picture will be up shortly. This is fun!

Today was a good day!

Today was a beautiful day. I mean it was a bright, sunny, mild day. The weather was so gorgeous that I lunch with my mother and two cousins. As a result of our luncheon date, we decided to plan a White, Richardson, & Willis Family Reunion. It has been many years since we had one and being together today encouraged us to get together and begin planning for the reunion. We do have something in mind, however if you have suggestions, please share them.

I hope you read yesterday's blog entry. That affirmation made such a positive impact on me that I wanted to share it. I was so upset that I thought it went into cyberspace and was lost forever, but since I am still learning how to blog, I discovered it by accident in the draft file. So much to learn!

DANCE, LIVE, LOVE, PRAY!

I saw a plaque today that read Dance, Live, Love, Pray. Such a beautiful affirmation, and it should be a constant reminder of how we should live our lives. With that said, I would like for you to know that I am truly blessed and very grateful for all my blessings. When I think about how God has blessed me and my family, I am humbled. I wanted to complain today about things not working out the way that I wanted too, but I was reminded that I had to DANCE, LIVE, LOVE, PRAY! With that said, we are going to New Orleans to participate in the Travel Professionals of Color Conference and Trade Show. Part of the conference will be in the city of New Orleans, and the remaining portion will be held on the Carnival Fantasy as we cruise to Cozumel, Mexico. However, while we will are in the city of New Orleans, we will also have the opportunity to participate in a project that will be giving back to some of the families that have been affected by Hurricane Katrina. I know this will be a very moving experience for me.



In the very near future, I will begin to share some of my travel experiences with you and if you know anyone who is interested in taking a cruise or any other vacation package, please let me know. I'll keep you posted on all my travels. Don't forget to DANCE, LIVE, LOVE, PRAY, and "rejoice in the Lord always!"

This is it, I'm stretching out!

I have finally joined the 21st century and started blogging. This format really gives one the opportunity to express oneself anytime, anyplace, and anywhere. I love the idea of it, and I haven't written much of anything. I'm so happy that I have the opportunity to write as I please. I like writing my thoughts on travel and the places that I have been or would like to go, so I will use this format to document my thoughts. I have already started my writing my travel journal and this is a good place to post it. I hope somebody will enjoy reading it.

I will probably also use this space when I want to escape from something that I should be doing, something like getting organized or getting rid of clutter. Each time I want to avoid doing the WORK, I will write about it. Writing about it may help me to focus on what I need do. Anyhow, I just have the opportunity to stretch out on faith and write. This is the time to fulfill a childhood dream and write. Now that I have started, I will try to be consistent and write something everyday. This will be a challenge, since I have difficulty sitting still in one place for any length of time. But I will give it a try!
