It's 2 months later and I have in no way shape or form, forgotten about Port Au Prince. I am at a wonderful, wonderful place in my life right now. And I am definitely thanking God for allowing me to be experiencing and enjoying this moment. Peace of mind, joy, motivation, endless ambition, confidence , courage and happiness are priceless. I can truly say, I feel as if I am "high" off of life. I am currently enrolled in an African American Leadership program at my alma mater, Cardinal Strtich. This program is the best thing that could of happen to me. It's all about timing. This is a perfect time for me to be at the platform and begin to prepare myself to go to that next level, God willing. It's a feeling I've never experienced before and I am enjoying every minute of it.
What has driven me to blog tonight was that I was watching Black Girls Rock on BET. They were a highlight of an young black girl that created and organic black hair product, at the ripe old age of 11 years old, with the aid of her grandmother. Within the 1st year of sales she grossed $100,000. She chose to take that money and give back. She started a foundation to serve the underprivileged children of Haiti. I was brought to tears. My mind and my heart went back to Haiti. All that I saw. All that I did. All that I couldn't do. All that yet needs to be done. Haiti is not forgotten. Not one bit. I left part of my heart in Haiti. My heart strings have been pulled as I find happiness and joy in knowing that there are others in the African American community that want to give back and that are giving back. I now know and truly believe that this is my passion. My mission in life. I am here to serve those whom can not so for themselves. I am here to help the poor and forgotten. That is my passion. And my prayer is that God places individuals in my life whom share that very same passion. Amen
Port Au Prince, I will be back.
