Oh, the action around here!
In a recent open letter, written on his Global Grind website, Russell Simmons asked Bill Cosby to stop criticizing youth and focus more on the social ills that create their behavior. In the open letter which critiques Cosby and his new CD, "State ...
The Children Are The Future
The children are the future
they are the ray of light
at the end of a long dark tunnel
their futures can still be bright
We, their parents, must teach them
while they are very young
not just by everyday action

We may never really know if the Heene family truly played a hoax on us. I can understand why many people, me included, would believe that. After all, it’s strange that a guy whose kid is believed aboard a flying saucer like balloon would call a te...
I agree with you 100% Kim. So many children are neglected, drugged, and abused because of labels that have been placed on them, ADD, ADHD and any other behavior problem that is used. We can't afford to give up on our children. If we do, we are sen...
Oprah Winfrey’s interview with singer Whitney Houston was one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen. Houston’s revelations of drug use, infidelity and the struggles she had endured over the last several years were riveting. Despite all those revel...
Toni you are so right! I hadn't thought about it but if it were corporate america he could file a complaint of hostile work environment. At times I would like to see him stand up a bit more. I wish when the man called him a liar instead of taking ...
Kim, I don't think our nation can find our way back to the unity we felt on 9/11 now that President Obama is in office. The events witnessed this past week, were un-thinkable and they saddened my heart for the President and his family. It's intere...

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 8 years since the terrorist acts of Sept. 11. At times, it’s hard to even think about this day without remembering the sheer terror many of us felt and the horrific lost of life. And while I’m saddened about the...
Toni, you're too kind. These posts are what I call passion and purpose for our children and are part of my theme this year which are Parental Advocacy and Parenting Up in Action. Any issue relating to those topics and you are bound to find a blog ...
Linda, you said it perfectly. I am on Facebook and I never discuss politics because I am getting more business contact than friends. So I refrained from speaking about Healthcare Reform-it's truly a personal choice although I support it. However, ...
The idiots who are spreading hatred should read Thomas Friedman's book, The World is Flat. If America's children do not become competitive on a global scale, their bosses will come from India and China. The whole world is watching as some American...
Just when I think nothing else can surprise me about the heated political culture we live in today, another issue rises to the surface that makes me question who we are as Americans. After all, President Obama’s plan to deliver a speech to public ...
Thank you for looking at this from another perspective. What you have written gives me a whole new respect for the Ted Kennedy. I think it's Christian duties to be your brothers keeper. I wrote a post on Syinly's weblog about my brothers keeper in...
SaVonni, that is awful. I also homeschool and mine aren't even school age yet! I will not subject my kids to being treated differently because the teachers can't see past the color of their skin.

Credit Expert said… - Here's my latest blog. Stay educated with the credit game.
The dangers of a secured credit card
A secured credit card is used only for the purpose of rebuilding your credit. Most banks will charge you a start up fee for the card. This fee can range from $20.00 to $200.00.
The consumer is paying to have a credit card that will charge them interest on their own money. A secured card reports to your credit card just like a real credit card. In some cases it will show secured, but not often. This depends on the company that you get the card from.
My question to many consumer is why would you want to pay interest on your own money? This makes no sense at all. Also, why would you use a card that will lower your credit score when you use it? Most secured credit cards have a minimum deposit of $200.00 or $300.00 deposit. So, when you use more than half of the limit, your score will go down.
More dangers to beware of below:
The company will charge you a high interest rate.
The company will charge you a set up fee, just for the card.
The company will charge you a late fee on your own money if you don’t make the payment on time.
The company will report you late on your own money when you miss a payment on your money.
The only way a secured card will benefit you is when you do not use the card. Let the card work to your advantage. Let the bank pay you money on the secured card, so you gain money. If you are trying to REBUILD your credit this is an excellent way to rebuild your score and make money.
However, you want to use the card to your advantage and the intended purpose. My advice would be to use a secured card like a saving account. Dump any money on the card that you want to save for about a year or longer, just enough for you to rebuild your credit.
Next, pull all your money off the card and close the account (all at once). Remember, the key to credit is playing the credit game. If you do not know the rules, you will loose.
The real question with secured cards is “how much do you want to loose”? One year two years, three years, or forever. Remember, you will pay a yearly fee for that card. If your are paying $59.00 a year, that will cost you around $295.00 for five years.
Last, make sure you get a secured card that has a good interest rate, so you earn more money. Also, one that has a maximum high limit. For example, you can put up to $5,000.00 on some secure credit cards. Most cards have a set limit on how much you can put on the card. So get one that you will benefit from.
