I'm really enjoying my Mother's Day! I had to buy a lil something special for myself. So, I bought the new 2005 Chrysler 300! Check out the pics! Nice huh? C bought me one of my favorite fragrances, Prada! You know I have to look and smell good in my new ride. LOL
Well, I'm off to continue enjoying the rest of my day. I hope all you Mothers are too!
In Remembrance...
C and I just returned from the 2005 Dallas Dinner
Table! It was an exceptional experience. The dialogue,
conversation and food were great. No better day to have it than the
Martin Luther King holiday.
Improving Race Relations...One Dinner at a Time
Dallas Dinner Table is an independent, non-profit organization focused
on improving race relations in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex…one
dinner at a time.
Our dinner was at Jaxx's Cafe in Addison
I started with cream of asparagus soup. My entree was the Crab Meat
Crusted Orange Roughy with sautéed spinach, parmesan mashed potatoes
in caper champagne sauce. I finished with bread pudding topped with
vanilla ice cream in a bourbon sauce.
The food was off da chain! But, most importantly the conversation
about race relations in Dallas in a comfortable setting was
enlightening. The goal of the group is to have people from different
backgrounds and cultures come together and discuss their views on
racism in a non combative manner. The meeting is very interactive;
each participant is give a question about racism that they ask the
other participants to answer. Through out the meeting we asked
questions of each other and share personal experiences.
Even nicer was the fact that it was a rather small group, only six of
us which made the interaction much easier. I came away from the
dinner empowered to share dialogue with others about a topic that is
often difficult to discuss with people outside of family and close
friends. Conversation about racism is the catalyst for change!

Since I rarely achieve "resolutions" that I set for myself I thought I would set "2005 Goals" like Michelle did. I'm better at reaching goals - but don't hold me to none of this shit:unsure
My 2005 Goals
1. Go to an Oprah show. I love Oprah! I've always wanted to go to a show. I will conquer the reservation line this year.
2. More "Me" time. Treat myself sometime since I spend so much time with myself - take a couple hours a week to relax, relate, release. Television, people and computers not included.
3. Learn more about geography. To start the seven continents. C and I talked about how we know little about other parts of the world, the land or its people. To start we decide to study the seven continents, she picked one (Antarctica) and so did I. The idea is to learn as much as we can about a continent and then transfer the knowledge to one another - I have Australia!
4. Network. Broaden my network. In my line of business it's essential to network. I've been extremely lacks in doing so.
5. Vacation. Bermuda, Hawaii, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Chicago (to see Oprah).
Have a happy and prosperous New Year!
Have a wonderful and safe Christmas everyone!
