Is it by chance?

October 7, 2006

Is it by chance that I met your acquaintance at the youthful age of 18? Is it by chance that I cannot forget your phone number and have been able to remember it since its origination? Is it just by chance that I was speaking about you to one of my closest friends and fifteen minutes later you walked into the football stadium and sat in front of me when we had just text messaged each other not even 20 minutes before… not discussing individual plans? Is it by chance that I have continued to pray for you and have kept you in my prayer journal for 12 years? Is it by chance that I adopted a child that is the same age as your son….with the same exact birthday….the son that I so vividly remember meeting when he was five? Is it by chance that when I see you, I see all of the potential in you and immediately began to see a clear way to motivate and cultivate those things that you desire? Is it by chance that I remember your grandmother sitting in her wheel chair about 11 years ago telling me that no matter what happens that I should always stay in touch you because one day you (her baby) will make someone a good man? Is it by chance that I have been afraid of you for all of the time that we have known each other and all of a sudden my fear has subsided into nervousness? Is it by chance that it is my desire to be your cheerleader, your friend, and your confidant? Is it by chance that the last time that I was in your presence approximately six weeks ago that through our conversation I realized that you have so much to offer a friend, a lover, and even a foe? Is it by chance that the more that I have the opportunity to learn about you the more I want to learn?  Well….these are the things that I think about when I think of you……too bad you can’t read this Mr. Profit!!!

I’d like to meet…..

October 3, 2006

I’d like to meet:
1. My husband. Every woman dreams of having a companion, a knight in shinning armor. I know he’s out there….I feel it. Nevertheless,I’m still waiting on us to meet.

2. My biological father. Why? To show him what he missed out on. I’m not perfect, but I consider myself a hard working successful woman. He denied me and left my mom before I was born. What’s sad is that his mom cosigned to his foolishness. I’m not angry…I’m not holding a grudge but I would like to meet him.

3.Warrick Dunn. No! I am not a groupie!!!! Why? Because I respect him and look to him as a positive role model…not just to African American Youth but to all youth!!! Reading of his struggles and road to success inspires me to keep moving regardless of the obstacles that I may face.
