A RAY OF SUNSHINE

I'VE RECENTLY BECOME A PILAR OF STRENGTH IN MY COMMUNITY.I'VE BEEN ASKED TO SPEAK ON THE CHALLENGES OF HAVING A PEACEFUL NEIGHBORHOOD AND A HARMONIOUS YOUNG GENERATION.I'VE NEVER REALLY SPOKEN TO A BIG CROWD BUT I WILL.MY SON DID NOT DIE IN VAIN.I WILL GIVE PEACE MY BEST SHOT.FOR MY SON I CAN DO THIS.A CHILD IS A BLESSING FROM GOD AND HIS/HER LIFE IS ALWAYS WORTH THE EFFORT OF SAVING.THIS COMMUNITY COULD USE A BIG SMILE LIKE MINE AND SOME POSITIVE WORDS TO GO ALONG WITH IT.I KNOW THAT I CAN DO THIS AND BE SUCCESSFUL AT IT.UNTIL NEXT TIME..BE BLESSED...KIMBERLY

BLESSED AND HIGHLY FAVORED

OVER THE PAS T YEAR I OFTEN FIND MYSELF OVERWHELMED BY ALL OF THE PROBLEMS IN MY IMMEDIATE SURROUDING'S.TO DO NOTHING/TO SAY NOTHING WOULD PUT A BLEMISH UPON MY CHARACTER.GOD MADE ME THE PERSON THAT I AM TODAY,I'M ABLE TO SPEAK TO THOSE THAT ARE IN NEED OF SOME POSITIVE CONVERSATION,I'M ABLE TO GIVE COMFORT TO SOMEONE THAT MAY NEED A HELPING HAND AND I'M ABLE TO PUT A SMILE ON THE FACE OF SOMEONE THAT MAY OTHERWISE BE DISCOURAGED..I KNOW THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY CARING SOUL AROUND BUT I'M HAPPY TO BE AMONGST THE CHOSEN FEW..

HEART TO HEART

HELLO ALL,IT'S BEEN A MINUTE BUT I'M STILL HERE,AS I'VE SAID IN ONE OF MY EARLIER BLOGS"I'M WOUNDED BUT NEVER BROKEN.SINCE LOSING MY SON TO STREET VIOLENCE I'VE BEEN CLOSER TO BEING BROKEN MANY TIMES.I NOW SUFFER FROM HEART FAILURE.THOSE THAT KNOW ME NEVER THINK THAT I'M ILL BECAUSE I'M ALWAYS SMILING.WELL LET ME SHARE THIS WITH YOU ALL,RECENTLY I'VE HAD A LIFE SAVING HEART PROCEDURE,MY HEART IS FUNCTIONING AT 18%.I MYSELF DIDN'T KNOW THIS UNTIL I HAD A HEART ATTACK ABOUT A MONTH AGO.THANK GOD THAT TECHNOLOGY HAS ALLOWED FOR A MUCH NEEDED DEVICE THAT HAS SAVED MY LIFE.I'M NOW THE 52,000 DOLLAR WOMAN.I HAVE A DEFRIBULATOR THAT IS IMPLANTED IN MY HEART.YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE LESS STRESSED BECAUSE YOU DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR DOWNFALLS BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE,I'VE LEARNED THAT YOU HAVE TO RELEASE THE PAIN B4 IT KILLS YOU...THANKS TO ALL FOR THE MANY BLESSINGS AND THANK YOU LORD FOR THE BREATH OF LIFE THAT YOU'VE GIVEN ME...KIMBERLY

WHAT I SEE

IN THIS BLOG I WOULD LIKE TO TOUCH ON A SUBJECT THAT IS VERY CRITICAL IN THE WORLD IN WHICH I LIVE.I LIVE IN A CITY THAT IS FULL OF DESTRUCTION.EACH DAY WE GET A HARSH DOSE OF WHAT IT MEANS TO HATE.OUR CHILDREN LIVE EACH DAY TO DIE,HOW DID THIS HAPPEN.AS A YOUNG GIRL LIFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AND MY FRIENDS WAS SO DIFFERENT,WE COULDN'T WAIT TO GROW UP.HERE IN JERSEY CITY THEY DON'T CARE TO GROW UP.THIS IS A RESULT OF A LACK OF RESPECT FOR ONE ANOTHER YOUNG AND OLD.IN THE DAYS THAT I GREW UP THE ADULTS WERE OUR ROLE MODELS,HERE THE ADULTS ARE THESE YOUNGSTERS BIGGEST DOWNFALL.OF COURSE THEIR ARE A FEW CHOSEN ONE'S THAT GIVE THERE ALL TO MAKE IT A SAFER AND MORE PRODUCTIVE ATMOSPHERE HERE BUT THEY /WE CAN'T DO IT ALONE.OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT CAN ONLY SEE A PAY CHECK COMING AT THE END OF THE WEEK,THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT OUR CHILDREN,SO WE HAVE TO CARE.AT TIMES WE MAY HAVE TO DO FOR ALL NOT JUST THE ONE'S GOD GAVE US BECAUSE IF ONE SUFFERS THEY ALL SUFFER.WHO'S READY FOR THE FIGHT!!!!!

GOOD EVENING TO ALL,I AM KIMBERLY AND I HOPE TO HAVE A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE BLOGGING WITH YOU ALL.I WANT TO FIRST START OFF WITH THE WORD OF THE DAY "RESPECT",IT'S A WORD OFTEN USED BUT AT TIMES HARD TO FOLLOW.THERE'S A SIMPLE SOLUTION TO THAT,TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WANT TO BE TREATED.....CHOW
