Hello Everyone!

I hope you are doing well and have been enjoying life and taking the time to enjoy yourself!

Wow! What a week? Can you believe all that is happening? Meryl Lynch and Lehman going under?!!! Washington Mutual being taken over by the government?!! And, our first Presidential debate! There sure is a lot to talk about.

So, why not join me for a discussion on what matters the most to you? Check out African American Culture forum, and let me know what's on your mind and in your heart. Or, just drop me an email. I am most interested in what concerns you the most.

Do you feel safe during this economic crisis? How do you plan to make ends meet? Was the Presidential debate all you thought it would be? Did it persuade you in either direction? Was there enough talk on foreign policy which was suppose to be the main focus of this debate?

Five weeks and counting, and we will be heading to the polls! I hope everyone is registered. And, if you need an absentee ballot, please do it quickly, as each state varies with its procedures and time tables.

Well, I've jabbed enough :) P;ease have a wonderful, prosperous and most successful week! You remain in my thoughts!

Much Blessings,
Ruthe

Persuasive Politicking
Some might suggest that they have nothing to do with politics. However you make decisions or come to conclusions on how to live your life, you have entered the arena of politics. However one chooses to live their life, once you begin to put into motion those beliefs, you are now politicking.

Feeding Your Spirit

Forgiveness is Freedom
Forgiveness. To forgive. Easy to say, but sometimes very difficult to do.
