Black History Month: Moments of Life

Dear Friends,


Someone once told me that life is a series of events and moments, the more you see the more you will embrace life. Well most of my moments are sports-related. Other than those moments, my life has been a series of ups and downs. I say this because as we enter a new year, I feel like I am at the peak of my good moments. I said in an earlier blog that I am close to graduating from college. That’s my blessed event. I was not there to see my son born and to see other graduate and be married but to me, seeing a college graduation is my bliss.

So why are there people that want to piss and shit on my parade for being close to graduating college? I know I have haters. I know that I have negative people in my life. So rather than be around them, I will go my own path. After doing that, I need to set out goals and stick to them. Not something like lose weight, or get out of debt because those are common goals but I want to do more for myself, others and my family.


For now, as I see my life in front of me, I will be more positive and more enlightened in my life. I am going to be able to see my life with a sense of worth. I grew up in Detroit in the 1980’s and 1990’s with a sense of purpose. I think being able to make a change is better than causing more harm and damage. My life is a series of happiness, grief, guilt and redemption. I hope to get rid of everything except happiness. I want to be happy.
