We're coming into the last third of 2012, still waiting to see whether History again will be repeated or will the country revert back to a time when the hopes and dreams of african-americans were just that. This isn't about politics in any form, that's what November brings. Will the Ravens right the ship after major inconsistencies in the first half of the season and having a week off for their bye, start back again on Sunday with a game that they have to win. But this isn't a sports blog either; it's just what happens in November. My biggest concern will I find meaningful employment so I don't have to feel depressed again this holiday season like so many in the past. Last year was a little different, I was working for a contractor of a state agency as a temp, so while I enjoyed the many days off afforded to state employees I didn't get paid for them because I just started the last week of November, so even as a temp employee I had not accrued any leave time. So there were a few 4

If I'm going to just put it out there, any person, especially women who had a considerable problem with how Gabby Douglas' hair looked during and after securing 2 Gold Medals in the Olympics obviously has never engaged in athletics nor persired doing so. After doing something NO woman of color who proceeded her in the Summer Games has ever done, that is winning the Gold Medal in an all-around performance, the tone shifted to how her hair looked during the gymnastics portion of the games. Now just those few sentences there truly prioritized for some what was more important. Now I won't take a poll on what amount of disappointed posts were from African-Americans like Gabby, but I would venture a guess most of them were people of color, Men and Women. It's so terribly sad in these days of social media, that her hair would take presidence over her history making accomplishments. 5 months ago, her coaches didn't think she posessed the intestinal fortitude to even make the team.

Now while I don't begrudge anyone in this economy for trying to find that one good idea that can make them the next successful entrepeneur, I do feel as though there is a contradiction that goes along with it. Now presumably Sara Blakely took $5,000.00 and came up with the idea of "Spanx". Now reportedly the company is supposedly worth upwards of over $250 million. Now in reading about M's Blakely's tenacity and perserverance, I applaud her for both by the way, she states she designed the undergarments for a blemish-free look under white pants. Now fast forward to over 200 products that range from slimming apparel to swimsuits, activewear and Men's undershirts. Now in this image concious society where musicians and actors lose dramatic amounts of weight some for red carpets or photo-ops or maybe just for health reasons there was a report the other day on E news that at this years Grammy Awards, multiple winner Adele wore four sets of Spanx, while at the Golden Globe or SAG awards

Here lately fashioned myself as a writer. I feel that depending on the subject. My therapist and myself thought it would be therapeutic. It could also lead to overcoming my fear of writing a novel. I could weigh in and offer my perspective that would be articulate and insightful. I love to discuss politics, especially the blatant disrespect of the POTUS. I can be very passionate about that.

But my main topic I like to write about is my Family. Specifically
