Sometimes, we tend to find excuses for the things that don't work out for us. We tend to blame others instead of taking responsibility for our actions, which only elevates the excuses. This behavior also applies to standing up for what is right. We often remain silent and wait for someone else to take the initiative instead of holding ourselves accountable. "What's your excuse, now?" is about empowering ourselves to make choices that will help us feel comfortable and confident in our skin.

Guest Writer - Thanks, Lady Z!
I’m still amazed that a woman of Indian descent has been elected governor in SC.
The bottom line though is that these people are going to get what they asked for since they were voting against President Obama. If you listened to most of the ads, they all focused on Washington (translated Obama J) instead of campaigning on South Carolina issues. So all of these folks who think that the nation is going in the wrong direction b/c a black man is in the white house are going to be in for a surprise when the economy doesn’t turn around by the end of the year and unemployment is still as high as it is now in six months to a year from now. They’re either too stupid or too prejudiced or both to realize and understand that it is going to take more than two years to turn things around. It took longer than two years to get into this mess. All of this is just a new version of playing the race card.
Whew! Straight to the point, my sister! Short & sweet! Thanks for the assist!
Have A Purpose-filled Day On Purpose!
The Wilson Family |
Nikki Haley |
Election Day is over! No more negative ads! The people have spoken! The GOP has taken over the House and a number of seats in their respected districts and states. There are father and son combinations in this state in extreme decision making positions, Congressman Joe Wilson and his son, Alan as Attorney General. Yes, the same Joe Wilson who disrespected the President of the United States nationally with the “You lie” outburst in the esteemed chambers of Congress. He did apologize later. Joe was rewarded by being reelected. I guess no other President has ever done anything wrong to have Joe’s emotions get the best of him. The son is now in place to replace the father some day. The good ‘ole boy network is alive, doing well, and accepted. We have our first female governor, Nikki Haley, who is of East Indian descent. She enters the office already with a cloud of controversy. That doesn’t matter since, this is a red state that normally frowns on women in leadership positions and has some of the highest domestic violence rates in the nation, would rather have a Republican female and a minority over a Democratic white male. Regardless of the most qualified, the vote was for anyone who was a Republican. Let’s just pray that those elected, newly and veteran will have all of the peoples’ interests at heart. Money talks and big corporations got the money to change even a strong man’s heart. We’ll see how strong and committed some of these officials are. Well, the mean people seem to be very happy now. I wonder if that will change. I will remain a moderate and less of an Ultra. If God blesses you, you should bless others. But those that did not vote expect to see some more cutbacks in social programs, such as welfare, education and jobs. No need to complain now, you should have gotten off your butts and voted. Be adult enough to accept your responsibilities and don’t move back in with your parents. I was depressed and negative about this new look but these same types of political changes occurred in 1994 under Bill Clinton. He got reelected. The differences between the times are the Ultras will do everything within their power not give this President a second term. Our nation is at a crossroads and the only direction most people want to go will involve less government, less spending and more state rights. My only concern is will state rights be repetitive of the Jim Crow days or Post Reconstruction? I need to get over this negative attitude and remember that God is always in control. Thanks, Cheryl! I need to act purposely in having a positive, purpose-filled day! Thanks, Plina!

Keep Your Faith Upwards!
God is still in control despite the seismic shift in negativity! Let's maintain our civility, regardless!
November 2, 2010 - A Day Of Irony!
When Obama was elected President, half the country celebrated and the other half was devastated. Tomorrow morning, that feeling will be reversed. How soon we forget because it doesn't matter who would have been elected, we would still have this major sand storm. Even tomorrow, there aren't any resolutions at the top of the agenda except for making sure Obama is not reelected. Well, if that is what's the Tea Party and the Ultras are all about, the voters for regress are going to be just as poor as me! The newly elected officials are not looking out for the people's interests but their own. I wonder who really lied to get the votes. No one seems to be interested in bringing back jobs even if their name means jobs. That's outsourced. Forget education, folks, the dumber we are, the easier to be misled. There doesn't seem to be an idea to generate revenue just more cuts. Well, the more people unemployed, the less they will buy, then small businesses will fall. What the hell will small business tax breaks do when no one can afford to do business? But the big corporations will continue to make money from paying less taxes and making more trade deals. Pitiful, just pitiful.

Less Than 24 Hours To Vote November 2nd!
Pay attention to those political ads, be informed, do your research and make an educated decision who to vote for. Your vote counts! Don't complain about who is elected if you don't vote. And don't let bad weather stop you! Bring God with you, He will always help, if you ask Him.
