I wrote this when I was with my first Love back in 1998..."We are apart of a circle"

WE ARE APART OF A CIRCLE We’re making memories. We’re making love. We make everything. We make it all. We’re making memories. We’re making love. We’re making love. We’re making commitments.

EDUCATORS UNITED!!!This weeks topic : "What does your state and/or local school district do to address their students' use of tobacco, alcohol and drugs, obesity and unplanned pregnancies?

It's simple;if the parents are unable to supervise their children due to various reasons, trouble is inevitable. The economy has a big effect on how children are raised.

What's your definition of Swagger?

I really don't think I have swagger? What is "swagger"? I think swagger is the way a person walks, talks, laughs and handles day to day situations. I think if a person has great "swagger" they are seen as really kool and they are very laid back. I mean they don't let a lot of things bother them and they keep a smirk on their face like a, "I am all that and you are nothing in comparison," kind of look. Swagger has really taken over in 2009 and it is gaining more ground everyday. Hey, do you… Continue

Do you all realize the POWER of your words?

Written and spoken words hold so much power. There's a bible verse that says "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."
