Life's Journey Can Hijack You

Job, family, church, FaceBook, loss of family and friend, and community acitivites can truly take you hostage. Some are only a distraction from your main focus and goals one being this blog. Once again, I have been so engulfed with the above mentioned, I completely forgot to post on this blog - and since it has been so long, I forgot the password. Wow, so where do I start? First, I have missed you! I hope you have had a great new year thus far. Being here takes me into a whole different world. It gives me a since of peace and satisfaction. I am not frustrated and feel a sense of worthwhile and belonging. This is exactly where I suppose to be. It has been over a year and a half since I posted. So let's catch up where we can and move forward. I have been involved in many diverse activities and have gained an abundance of knowledge. I have completed a year long Advance Leadership Program, chaired the Southside Community Advisory Board, and traveled across the United States. I have emerged myself into a continued research project through exploratory research with a focus on The Impact of Urban Renewal and City Planning. At this point, I can only say "Wow!" Perhaps I will share some things along the way - for city planning certainly plays a part in the daily lives of our children and Urban Renewal's impact extends through generations. In closing, I have made a commitment to not allow myself to become highjacked on life's journey for such a long period. I will set my priorities and stay within the realm. Until my next posting, peace be unto you.
