My concerns are many. The environment, inflation, healthcare. I’m concerned about the world we are leaving to our children, to my grandchildren and their children. How big is the hole in the Ozone? How many species of plants, animals have we lost ? How is that I can spend less, tighten my belt and still have less than I did? How is it that we can send a catrillion dollars to every fourth world country imaginable but I have to pay for college and healthcare for my children?

I am already depressive by nature. Their news was devasting (less than six months). My first instinct was to wallow in self-pity and to crawl into a dark place and wither away. But to wither is not in the nature of a true DIVA (and I am from a long, long line of DIVAs) and as such wa not a road that I could fathom traveling. Oh I’ll admit that I had a day or two of self-centered, self-indulgent activity. But then I snapped out of it.

Please value your work enough to price it accordingly. We business people work hard at what we do and it ticks us off when your substandard work is chosen because it’s marked at a WalMart price instead of Macy’s.

I tried everything I could think of to get out of this appointment. You must understand that when a dentist tells me to “open wide”, I see the dollar signs pop into their eyes.

I have everything except a sliderule out trying to figure out the perfect meal plan. The conclusion is that if I can live off of broccoli, celery sticks, carrots, apples and mangos for 3 meals a day, 5 days a week I can indulge in chocolate fantasties of Biblical proportions for the other two days.

Troop 15 is not a problem solving group. Pity we didn’t know that in the beginning. We also didn’t know that Brent was a racist bigot who earned his Eagle rank on his knees in a back room before two-deep leadership.

I live in Oklahoma. It’s not the deep, but is a part of the dirty South. There is no shortage of ignorance, zealotry, bigotry and just plain stupidity. I catch it because I’m Black, because I’m a woman, because I’m a Muslim, because my husband is Scots-Nord and our children are various shades of caramel.

It was said that sometimes you have to kiss alot of frogs before you find your prince. True perhaps. But when you find your prince, there is a great possibility that he won’t be perfect. That works out really well because we’re not perfect princesses either.

I will tell you that it is easier to discuss Islam with total strangers, people who have a media perception of Islam, than those who claim to be Muslims and know nothing of our religion except what they have been told (usually by someone who has no idea what HE is talking about because he’s been raised with Islam as part of his culture.)

I am blessed and filled with gratitude. I am not supposed to be here. I feel like I somehow cheated and that there is someone else that should be here, without a doubt there are those who are no longer with us who deserved this chance.
