It still hurts.......8 years later

Eight years later and I still cry for the lives lost from the tragedy that occurred September 11, 2001.





Although I didn't lose anyone, I still feel a great deal of sadness.



The since of security I once knew was shattered.







As I wipe tears from my eyes as I type this, I won't forget those that lost their lives as a result of that national tragedy.

Yay for me.......

I’m not sure if I documented here on my blog that I reach a huge financial milestone a few months back. I finally paid off my NY&Co store card………this is a fete since every time the balance got down to about 150 or so, I’d run back and charge it up again. The balance never exceeded 800, but it got pretty close a few times.

So that leaves two major credit cards to pay off, one with a balance a little over $1,000 and the other just under $16,000. But I'm confident one the smaller one will be paid off by May 2010 and the other............well I'll put an extra 50 on the monthly payments I make to expedite paying it off.

That’s not her……

I attempted to watch that video circulating with Ms.Maia.C, but I refuse to believe it’s her. My refusal is due in part to a few factors:

One – I just don’t think it looks like her, the quality of the video is not all that great

Two – I can’t believe that a brother would video that and exploit her in that manner.

Third – I don’t want to believe it’s her!

So, I’ve seen a few rebuttal videos regarding the video in question as well as blogs about it. And in my daily perusing of blogs I came across a blog with a link suggesting bloggers do some research on Maia and mental illness before commenter. And while I had no intention of commenting I thought the suggestion to research was a good idea. I also hear Ms.Maia.C’s mother, the late BeBe Camp.bell’s book entitled 72 hour hold is based on the experience of a mother going thru the struggle with a child who suffers from mental illness. So, I’ve decided to read the book, not that it's a alternative to the research but I like to read, so why not read this one.

Again, not that I believe or even want to believe that there is an ounce of truth in that video I just think instead of pulling her down any further or participating in her down fall, we need to educate ourselves, tell the entire truth, and/or leave it alone. There are countless rumor mills and gossip columns doing enough of exploring and exploiting celebrity lives, no need to add to it.
