Morning Edition - 8/5/08

Thank You for 39 Years…
Thank you God for granting me 39 incredible years with folks that have helped me live a truly amazing life. In my late teens I didn’t think I would get to this point, quite honestly, my belief in reaching my late thirties was pretty sketchy until about last year. Today, I know that I’ve lived a full life; one that has allowed me to experience all the colors of life and all the emotions it has to offer.

Thank you to my tight-knit family…my two sisters and two brothers who have been supportive, loving and kind even when I haven’t been.

Thank you to my life-family; you know, the ones that this journey has designated as my family – Colleen, Marcia, Evelyn M., Taqua, Clent, Slugger, Leona, Juanita, Linda and Herbie.

Thank you to the love of my life, BD. You’ve given me an opportunity to love myself and offer that love back to you. I am forever grateful for all that your love gives me.

And thank you to all the folks who have come into my life to make my 39 years feel like life is always worth living; consciously.
