One Secret to Success for a Working Mom, Expand Your Village (Jack and Jill of America)

Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

Down with the haters, up with Obama!

on

Obama's win in Wisconsin and Hawaii have me incredibly pumped right now. I hope that he carries my neighbor state of Ohio. Because if the pundits are accurate, a win in Texas, Ohio, or Pennsylvania will be the end of Clinton’s campaign.

OK, I am writing about the 2008 Democratic Presidential Race again. I know that I promised to write about other things, but I this election is a huge part of my world. And if you are like my friends, it is a big part of yours too.

Regardless of whether you are Republican or Democrat, for Clinton or Obama, you are keenly aware that you are witnessing history in the making. To have a Black man achieve such prominence in a presidential election is unprecedented. However, as I have said, this is bigger than race.

On the news today a white blue collar worker in Ohio expressed the sentiment best, Obama has transformed this country. He has reminded some, and convinced others, to have pride in this country. We are becoming proud(er) to be Americans. We believe that we can overcome the recession. We believe that we can successfully bring the troops home. And we are willing to participate in politics in a way that has not been seen in some time, or perhaps ever.

We are old, young, White, Black, Latino, Asian, etc., all united to change this country. We are all united in our belief in hope. Obama has given us more than rhetoric. He has given us patriotism.

Well put.. He is making history and it is wonderful to see people stand up and participate for a change. By the way, shame on the black "leaders" who haven't stood behind Obama - he is the embodiment of what they have "supposedly" been working for all of these years (maybe we should call in to question who they've really been working for???).
