From Oprah's Lips to Our Actions

Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.


Get out your journals, diaries, notepads, anything to write on and a pen! It is time to create the infamous new year resolution list. 


What's is going to be for 2011? Weight loss? A relationship? Better grades? More money?


Yes, those are all wonderful things. We would all love to be 15 pounds lighter, in love and rich. But instead of creating a list that caters just to personal needs, let's expand and better our family, friends and community. For every one listed item that is personal, write two that cater to someone else.

Be Mine, Sweetheart, Love...In December?

Is Valentine's Day tomorrow?

November might be one of my favorite months (aside from June, my birthday month). It's special to me because it means Thanksgiving is around the corner and that is my favorite holiday. It's time for family, friends and loved ones to get together and just be thankful. But my Thanksgiving traditions and stories are for another time. After turkey day comes Hanukkah/Christmas/Kwanzaa. Another fun time filled with good food, gift exchanges and more family time.

That brings us to now. All the holidays are over and the new year is three days away. Yet, when I walk into my grocery store, Michaels ( a craft store), or even Target, I am blinded with hearts, red decor and other Valentine's Day memorabilia.

No pressure or anything! I see the cards, the candy and the red teddy bears lining the shelves of every store I walk into. It's borderline absurd. On the plus side, I am in a relationship so it isn't too bad. But now I know it is time to book a reservation, find a gift, lose weight, get my hair done, treat myself to a manicure and pedicure and buy a new outfit. Did I miss anything? Oh wait, and make more money.

The funny thing is, I already have my gift idea lined out. I'll share with you all after Valentine's Day. But for now, we can openly discuss gift ideas and great restaurants you have.
