Life is a Gift!
I am sure most have heard the saying that “life is a gift so live in the present”……I do believe that these are good words to live by. I recently found out that a friend’s husband passed away. I don’t know all the details but what I do know is that it was unexpected news which got me to thinking……
How often do we get so caught up in the day in and day out grind that we forget to just cherish who we are and our loved ones? Even if we don’t mean to do it intentionally it still happens. Why does it take hearing about an untimely death or any type of devastation to make us put things in perspective and check our priorities??
I recently got back in touch with a sibling that I had not seen in about 5 years and had not spoken to in at least two years! I started thinking about how I would hate for the next time we see each other occur because of a funeral or some other terrible situation. I decided that all those things that happened in the past is where I should leave them because clearly none of us are perfect! I admit that we are not talking on the phone everyday but we are emailing each other at least once a week and that is far better than what had been occurring, which was no communication at all.
So I challenge everyone that reads this blog today to reach out to someone that you haven’t seen or spoken with in a long time. A family member or friend; even if you just drop them an email or a text to say you are thinking about them…..It’s time we begin to Cherish Life because it goes by quickly and no one wants to have regrets!

Precious
Last weekend I had the opportunity to go and see the movie Precious. Since I had not read the novel, I was very hesitant about seeing the movie. I had seen many previews of the movie and heard some commentary about it, but none of this prepared me for the movie.
First of all, let me say that the acting was AMAZING! That aside, I am not exactly sure how I felt about the movie. It was very raw and extended no soft blows. I shed so many tears in that theatre. I was appalled at some of the things that were happening to this young girl. Then it hit me, bits and pieces of this movie are a reality for so many young men and women in this world. It makes me thankful for the village of people that I have around me, but it also makes me very sad for those that have had to endure abuse, molestation, abandonment and hate. I pray that anyone facing these challenges come out as strong and triumphant as Precious.
If you have seen the movie, I would like to know your opinion. What did you think of the movie?
