We are just so used to accepting the way things are, that we forget that we are smart, and that we have willpower, and that we have talents to make a difference to someone on this planet.

"You will see, that we will be, a Generation of Overcomers. We believe...yes we believe... that we will go and make a difference"... Listen, I am so happy to be alive, and I am so lucky to get out of bed in the morning in order to live out this blessing that I have been given. I'm learning to find joy and love in the sm...all things..and I'm figuring out that there is so much I have to be grateful for in this world :)

GRANDMA!! Thank you for your endless support :) and I am sorry for my slow motion respsonse! Life tends to move a million miles an hour around here. I am moved and and fairly comfortable at the Dream Center in inner city LA...The city has one face th...at is shiny, new and glamorous...but the face I see everyday is one of the saddest places I have ever been or experienced...there is so much need and so much hurt here...but the Dream Center and every person who is with me in The Movement program is doing everything in our power to make a change within these communities...and I cant imagine being anywhere else :)

I am truly, and completely...happy
