Coming Down the Pike

I never have time to actually post any coherent thoughts here anymore. In fact, it's 8:53pm right now, and I have one more hour to work before I need to get some sleep. I'm already starting to fade out, so I thought I'd post a quick overview of a few topics I plan to blog about over the next few days. This way when I actually get around to blogging about them, maybe I'll already have my thoughts outlined in my head.

Women of Faith Conference 2009 I attended this with one of my best girlfriends. It was held this past Friday and Saturday at Philips Arena here in Atlanta. She invited 9 of us to attend with her. This event changed my life in a way that nothing ever has before. And I just have one more word to leave you with: Luci. :-) More to come.

General Election I have never witnessed anything like this in my life. Of course, none of us have; this has been a time of history being made at every turn. A co-worker of mine pointed out recently that no matter who wins the election, I will have a historical moment to be proud of. I never thought of it that way before, but it's true. Either a woman will be vice-president or a black man will be president of the most powerful nation in the world. Yet, this has been one of the most stressful times I've experienced socially.

Race, Race, and...oh yeah, race I have a few things to share that I've experienced recently that have actually given me a different outlook on how race affects our daily lives. And no, I'm not talking about the election this time.

Keeping Secrets I've never been asked to keep a secret this huge, but I am a woman of my word. It will eventually be revealed to others, but in the meantime, I am carrying somewhat of a burden. Not just by keeping the information to myself, but for other reasons as well.

We'll see how I do about getting this all posted over the next several days. Until next time!
