Amazing time!<BR/><BR/>I pledge:<BR/><BR/>Take care of myself in regards to my spirit, emotions, mental, etc and not let others invade that space unless it is positive.<BR/><BR/>Give back more in regards to my writing. I'm going to start working with youth out here in creative writing and poetry and how they can write about impacting their community!<BR/><BR/>Eat better. I started in 2008 (using raw sugar, less red meat, cleanse my system, etc).<BR/><BR/>Schedule a work out routine (last year I worked whenever and although I did great in regards to running and dancing I need to put it on the schedule during the week which means the mornings to run and workout)!<BR/><BR/>Continue to inspire others to make their dreams come true and to make a change in whatever they do!<BR/><BR/>This is a great blog Brooke! Thanks for putting this up!

Feelin...Flifla, you do not have to apologize to me. Feelings are feelings. The trick is to not let the negative feelings overpower you and make you anything less than who you are.<BR/><BR/>I realize some of my readers may not understand your comment - (Flifla responded to a comment I made on my sister's blog Deen Divas) - but I read your latest post on the 19th and I totally understand where some of your frustration comes from. <BR/><BR/>If everyone gets a chance, please check out Flifla's blog. <BR/><BR/>Flifla, I have some words of encouragement to offer you, which I will post on YOUR blog instead of addressing you in my comments. I have to gather my thoughts first, so look for my comments later. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for checking out my page and I will chat with you soon.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-6573920697550584642009-01-20T17:40:00.000-05:002009-01-20T17:40:00.000-05:00hi Brooke it is me again i read some of ur article...hi Brooke it is me again <BR/>i read some of ur articles and i understand how proud and happy ur are in that speacialday so excuse me if i offensed u by my comments it is for personal stuff that i was angry <BR/>take sareAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-68434690319610800972009-01-20T14:23:00.000-05:002009-01-20T14:23:00.000-05:00Yes, everyone check out my sister's blog today - i...Yes, everyone check out my sister's blog today - it's great!<BR/><BR/>His speech was absolutely perfect.
