I became a pescetarian inspired by a male friend to do so who is vegan. I eat mostly fruits, vegetables, salads, and fish. I like having Cheerios with Lactaid milk for breakfast most mornings. I weigh less. I feel pretty good. I am trying to get under 200 lbs and focus less the numbers on the bathroom scale. I usually have a sandwich for lunch or tomato soup. I am attempting to drink more water. I feel pretty confident in my ability to things! I plan to renew my license in January. It’s good to be alive!

I didn’t have a great childhood, but it was okay. I was a little black girl that was teased and taunted mercilessly about my skin color since I was eight or nine years old. I didn’t have idyllic circumstances but I did okay. I like myself though. That’s all matters.

I am not sure which of the celebs did it first, but I think it’s cool. People are not that different. Just because the celebrities are Caucasian does not mean they can’t adopt African children. The gesture is tremendous. I see it as a positive thing. People shouldn’t criticize them. People need to be able to see their commonalities. People are not that different from one another.

I beg to differ. The things people that say are so important are not important at all in my opinion. I like who I am. I don’t fit the societal standard of beauty, however I like myself. People say fair skin, long hair and light eyes are so beautiful. I say dark skin, dark hair, and dark eyes are beautiful too!

I lost seventy-five pounds months ago on my own when I became vegetarian. I like meatless meals. I usually have Special K red berries for breakfast. I am trying to continue to stay meatless. I take care of myself. I am going to join a gym in a few months so I can get to use the elliptical machine for twenty minutes two, or three times a week. I was told they have five sessions, or ten sessions with a personal trainer that I am not sure how much it will cost. My goal weight is 180 pounds. I want to strengthen my core muscles. I am going to do a little yoga and other low impact exercise. I used to do Pilates when I was in my late 20s. As we age our spine needs flexibility.

I am someone who just loves going to the movies. I had my eyes glued to the screen from start to finish. I recommend the movie to anyone who hasn’t seen it. I had a good time. I saw the movie yesterday.

People with strong character like Miss Oprah and Misses Obama are amazing women. People who do philanthropy like wealthy people are good people because they give students scholarships to colleges and universities from working class backgrounds like Bill Gates and his wife Melinda. I am sure that this world would change overnight if more people cared. I am optimistic because the world has changed somewhat. Even if it takes another century, I believe this world is going to change for the better.

Everything is not going to go my way. I accept this. I know a mature person does not cry over spilled milk. I am saying regardless of the outcome in my situation I am not going to get bent out of shape when something doesn’t go my way. I am looking forward to my 44th birthday in January. My life is a gift from God to me.

I am someone that encourages others to keep journals. I feel like a journal and a pen make a nice gift for a friend. One year a male friend I had that passed away a few years ago he bought me a hot pink journal and a huge pen. His name was Mike. His friends referred to him as big Mike. He was a heavy-set man who died barely in his mid-thirties believe it or not. I remember going to his funeral or wake being held at a Catholic church near Trenton. I wore a nice black dress and hosiery and dress shoes. I try to be a supportive friend.
