Congratulations Oscar Winners!!!!

Congratulations to all the Oscar Winners!

But an especially heartfealt congratulations to the African-American winners.....

Monique - Best Supporting Actress for Precious
Roger Ross Williams - Best Documentary Short for Music by Prudence
Geoffrey Fletcher - Best Adapted Screenplay for Precious

Much is made of winners and what they gain by winning. This has not always been the case for African-American winners. Let's hope the tides are turning and we will see more brilliant work for these three and all the other creative, talented and artistic African Americans waiting in the wings.

Also, because I am all about the girl, Congratulations to Kathryn Bigelow for being the first woman to win Best Director! As Monique said it best, politics did not win out over brilliant performance.

Peace and Love,

Sandals,

Pumps, Purses & Positivity

Real Life, Real Talk, Real Women!

Welcome to our online community where we hope to enhance and enrich the lives of as many women as possible through open and honest dialogue. This is our place to share, offer opinions, offer another perspective. However, if you are looking for rants, complaining and negativity this blog is not for you because this online community promotes only POSITIVITY.

If you are looking for suggestions, solutions, a good dose of reality or sometimes even a good laugh please hang around and check us out!! This is a safe haven to give and receive truthful and non-judgmental advice for women of all ages and backgrounds. We are that outlet for women who feel like they have no where else to turn, for women who feel like they are going through something by themselves and for women who feel like there is no way out. We are here to let you know that you are not alone, there is support, there is hope and most importantly there is a way out! On the lighter side, we want to share our opinions on the best cuisine, best childcare facilities, how to write a resume, best place to network, and the list goes on!

Who are we you ask? We are women just like you. We have families, we are married, we are single, we are divorced, we are diverse every day women who have committed ourselves to making a difference. We have committed ourselves to helping you realize your potential and your inner strength. We are about Real Life and Real Talk because we are Real Women!!!
