THANK YOU!
I came to the USA,
33 years ago
Although I love my country of birth,
the place of my ancestors,
is still in my heart…
BUT I’ve lived in this great land,
for most of my life.
As a girl I ran on the sand
of her finest beaches.
Panama City Beach
I grew up eating
Georgia’s delectable peaches. 
I’ve seen the sunrise in the east,
to watch it descend
in the far west. 
My eyes have seen a feast,
but the sun setting where I live,
is always the finest,the absolute best.
All of my blessings
have been given to me here,
in this wonderful place.
Where God has given me favor,
and showed me His face.
I never give acknowledgement once a year.
For all that I have,
a life rich with flavor.
I look into the eyes of my loved ones…
daily I see,
daily I hear,
daily I know,
and daily I am aware of whom I’m indebted to.
Because I am rich without measure,
I look all around,
in my home, so MUCH treasure!
I appreciate you God,
for bringing me here,
I say it to you today and through out the rest of the year!!
Happy Thanksgiving Day to all of my family,friends and readers!

Fall in the Desert
IT’S A MAD,MAD,MAD WORLD!
A girl at school was just kicked off the soccer team because another class mate complained to the school officials that said girl would not be friends with her. Now the school officials are accusing the swimmer for being a bully. Who is the real bully here?
I just recently was kicked out of a church. Yes, you are reading correctly! My family and I are not allowed to come back to a certain church because I refused the pastoral counseling being offered to me. That was the main reason for our having been banned from this church. The other reasons are of no lesser significance: I was also told that the pastor did not like some of my views on this blog. Hello! The 1st Amendment guaranteeing my rights to freedom of speech were infringed upon. Lastly I was told by this same man that my husband and I had to meet up with some key people he had already designated for us because we needed to learn from these people how to be “Godly parents”. Apparently this pastor is under the impression, that after raising 4 great kids together for the past 22 years that we’ve been married, we haven’t a clue as to what we’re doing. 
Folks, when your kids were younger did you ever try to pick out their friends for them? That’s crazy right? So how can a school and a pastor even think that they have any say in whom a child or two adults choose to associate with? It’s a MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD and that madness has creeped into some churches.
Perhaps the best thing this pastor did by banning us from attending his church was to spare us any further hurt by him. Now THAT’S a silver lining on my cloud!
30 Day Music Challenge: Day 30
WOW! This is the last day of my 30 day music challenge. Why don’t you try to do this challenge because not only was it fun for me, listening and watching the music videos took me on a pleasant stroll down memory lane. For my last song I choose my 2 favorite Latin Music Artists: Enrique Iglesias and Juan Luis Guerra. Spain‘s finest, Enrique and Dominican born Juan Luis came up with this beautiful love ballad, ” Cuando Me Enamoro” (When I Fall in Love). It thrilled me to hear these two Latin music icons came together and created such a wonderful song. Please remember that music has NO language barriers and give this song a chance even though it’s in Spanish. Chao!!
30 Day Music Challenge: Day 29
For today’s song I turn to the world of song parodies. I have been viewing some of the best talent in Youtube who do literal versions of songs from different decades. Here is a medley of several of Micheal Jackson‘s songs done in parody style. My kids and I laughed so hard watching it the other day. Get your MJ on and have a great day!!

What is the funniest song you have ever heard? I went to Youtube and after looking for a while, I had to go back to The Chicken Song. This is undoubtedly the funniest song on Youtube. When I need to perk up my day, I listen to this song. What I love about the singer is his passion for chicken.” I put nothin’ above my chicken,” he boldly declares. Now, that’s a love worth having! Lucky chicken 
30 Day Music Challenge: Day 27

Every decade has its musical bombs. You know, that song that you just want to wish you were born deaf every time you hear it? I looked hard for a song that fits this description and I found, ” We Don’t Have to Take Our Clothes Off” by Jermaine Stewart. The message of abstinence is great, the whole execution lacks in lyrics and musicality. Go ahead, take a listen and see if you agree with me that this song could possibly be the worst 80′s song.

I’m down to the final count down of this music challenge and it’s getting harder to pick songs because there are so many great tunes out there. Todays’s pick is a song that makes me think. Echo and the Bunnymen sing “The Game“. I heard of EATB when I was a sophomore in high school from a friend of mine Roxanne. She had the band’s name written all over her French I book cover; but I never bothered to listen to them. Recently I was watching music videos on TV and EATB was playing “Lips Like Sugar” and I was hooked!
