When I was 13 I attempted to keep a diary of all the things that happened in my life. One of the main reasons I started this diary was because my Auntie gave me one of the cutest little diaries with a lock. I felt important and it looked important so I said I might as well use it.
I would write in it from day to day and then after awhile I just stopped, because as I became more socially busy, I let the distractions of life take me off my course. I wish I would have kept that diary and documented the milestones and adventures that I experienced from then.
Soooo much has happened and even though I remember it in my mind, I don't quite know the exact dates, or the facial expressions I had, or the emotions that ran so deep at that time when certain things happened or what I was wearing. If I had kept the diary going I would have wrote these details down. I have recently just started last year to keep a memoir and diary of my life, and reading back now, events from last year still remain fresh for me when I read it. I can almost feel like I am there again.
I recently received an email from a friend of mine, of a "scrapbook" that I think is absolutely GREAT! It is just marvelous and whomever took time to put it together should be proud that it is being viewed by so many and the person it's about is probably one of the most influential people of our day!
I don't know if Obama himself put this scrapbook together but it is beautiful and I wanted to share it amongst the Fam, so you can get the same warm feeling so many of us got when we read it and went through it. As I have said in the past...When you read his books, you have even more of an appreciation for the pictures and timeline within the scrapbook.
Check out the scrapbook and learn who "THAT ONE" is.... That One is the Center of our progression, our movement, our new day!

POV
Is it me or when it gets cold like this you don't want to do ANYTHING!
Since Sunday night when it started to get really brisk, I have been sluggish, don't wanna get out the warm bed, running a tad bit later for work, feeling like I have a scratchy throat and not wanting to even speak to people in the mornings. This is horrible.
I guess I am so affected because we went from nice warm breeze to OD Arctic chill. I need to ease into this, this weather is basically slapping me on my backside and duffing me out the door. I am really trying to cope but it takes adjusting to.
On another note, I caught a clip of the view from yesterday 9-6-08. If you missed it its worth watching: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WGCzCma-NY
That damn Elisabeth HEFFABECK as I like to call her, showed her ignorant conservative a** again! She really is starting to detest me more than watching Sarah Palin speak. Actually, Palin might be a little bit more like able than her. This woman actually sat on this stage and defended McCain and his involvement with the Keating 5. In addition she had the nerve to insinuate that Obama did have a close relationship with a "terrorist" of the United States (referring to Bill Ayers).
If you do your research on Bill Ayers, he basically wad a radical from the 60's who was pissed off with the way the United States were treating its citizens civilly, and as Whoopi stated " there were a lot of people pissed off {black people} and others who did not like the way the United States treated them".
It appears to me that Elisabeth is so out of touch with reality and other people's strife in this country that she forces herself to look ridiculous. She always appears ignorant when anything comes out of her mouth! I really do not know why she even is on this show, what makes a reality TV star {Survivior season 2} qualified to speak to millions of people everyday I have no IDEA! I think she is the shallowest, ditsiest, idiot on television and I mean it.
It actually gives me great pleasure to watch when guests come to the show and walk right pass her as if she is invisible. She is pitiful with the outrageous, prejudice things that she comes up with, and to think all this time I thought Sherry Sheppard was the dumbest of the crew, arguing a couple of weeks ago that the world was FLAT! (Where do they get these people).
Thank God Whoopi is up there to provide a well rounded, intellectually stimulating conversation and actually bring facts to discussions. I would think the producers would know that, that is important for a host to possess, Barbara Walters is just as bad by inviting Elisabeth to be a part of the show! UGH! Just makes me crinch!
In other news, If you have not registered to vote you only have until this Friday October 10th, to get that done, PLEASE go out and get it done!!! I spoke with some folks who said unfortunately they could not vote because they are not citizens of this country, and they are devastated.
If you are a citizen and you are just lazy to get down to register than shame on you!!! I was one of those people who felt like " my vote does not matter because they will miscount anyway" but there is something about being pro-active and doing something with passion that resonates well. Even if there is a miscount, the message will get across that we want this man to win and they will see us coming out in record numbers for change!
It made the news in Atalanta how 30% of early voters came out and voted. It was their record high. So we must do the same, give back some of the love we have felt watching him throughout his campaign.
In addition, I am doing this blog on Tuesdays and Thursdays now as I have said before. I hope you will continue to support.
Love you all!!!
Have a great TUESDAY!

Michelle...
As she stood there a pretty brown with her determined gaze, words cannot describe the sensation I felt when I watched Michelle Obama, address a powerful room full of congress and the world Monday night. Her words were heard by MILLIONS that night, and regardless of how you feel about her and "Obama". You must admit that what she did was historical and well versed!
I am proud of the accomplishment that was made that night, for herself, her family, her man and for me! She speaks to me, she speaks to you and every other person who walks the grounds of this country in the hopes that her husband will set the foundation for the way this country should be.
What took me more than anything about Michelle was not so much that she stood there looking impeccable, with her perfect arched brows, bouncy shiny bob and her form fitting mint-ish green dress. She was standing there painting a flawless centerpiece of the man in her life. The man she has chosen to be her life partner, the man who has fathered her children. She stood there for almost 45 minutes going on about the character, strength, poise and potential of the man who she loves. WHO GETS TO DO THAT AND HAVE THE WORLD LISTENING!!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!!!
Obama you have done well, and it was definitely worth the persistence to reel in Miss Michelle Robinson, she has taken your last name and added even more light to it. That is the dream of every man. Every man wants a woman who can make him feel like cashmere even when he is having a polyester kinda of day! To praise him and make him feel like one of the most important creatures to set foot on the earth. To pick him up and raise him to the world to see him and his efforts in the best possible light! She has done that for Barack, in the way I have never seen another woman do, and she did it while she had the entire world's attention.
KUDOS and a job well done Mrs. Michelle Obama! I took an extreme amount of respect, courage and hope from your words and I have made a commitment to myself to reach to achieve such greatness.
Prepare yourself for a new beginning. It is approaching, many will rebel against it as we will see, some we have seen in the past weeks (assassination threats, crude and hate comments and van dilation) BUT we will still stand strong and OBAMA will still persevere.
My daddy would always tell me growing up "Dee don't follow the crowd, if you don't stand for something you will fall victim to anything" Well, Obama is standing tall and he will not run, he won't cop out and he will take this feat on even if it threatens his life. He believes in who he is and he knows his purpose. If we all had that same "Get it done or Die trying" mentality what would be different about the direction of your life?
LOVE!!!!!!!
BARACK the VOTE!
XOXOXOXO
