"On This Day. . . .


we gather because we have chosen. . .

hope over fear. . .

unity of purpose over conflict and discord."

What a wonderful, historical day, and we even got Aretha up there singing only as she can! I believe in my heart that this new journey will take us all where we need to be as long as we carry "hope" in our hearts along the way!

"Vision Over Violence"


Like most of us, I was glued to the tv last night, just waiting, just hoping, that our lives would have a new direction in the future. I heard a Congressman last night say that he was excited because it seemed our country was voting for "vision over violence". I think we found some new "hope" last night when Barrack Obama was elected as our President. It's been a long time coming, and if anything it shows all the little kids in the world that you can be "ANYTHING" you want to be when you grow up!! This morning I'm excited for a future that holds "hope" for my Riley and my unborn grandbabies. This is a new beginning for us all, and a better America for our kids! I wish my mom and dad were still around for this election, they would have been ecstatic!!

PLEASE. . .Don't Forget to Vote!!


I know that since my blog is related to my business, that I "should" probably keep my political opinions to myself. But, politics have directly affected myself, family,friends,customers and my business. It's tough not to be concerned. Ever since Bush was put into office, it's been one thing after another for business and our economy. I had struggled with my newly opened 2nd store in Long Beach. And what happens, 9/11! So, that was pretty much the end of the Long Beach store. I know I'm not the only one out there feeling a difference in our world today. This "mess" needs to be fixed!

We have a chance to change things on Tuesday. We can all vote! I've already mailed my ballot in as have many of my friends have. We have a choice who can implement the best needed change,and mine is Barrack Obama. I watched his "info commercial" or whatever you call it on Thursday night, and it brought tears to my eyes, seriously. I know many don't feel the same way as I do. But the stories of everyday people struggling isn't some politcal hype, it's a harsh reality, it's a small example of what our lives have become. So, that is my pitch, my plea to not only vote, but to really think about "who" you are voting for. This is the first time in my life I've felt so strongly about a candidate, and this is also the first time in my life I've seen so many people struggle, including myself. Please, just make a difference a vote, okay?
