Good Morning Friends, "This is the day that the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it" HOW ABOUT YOU?
As I see it you've got a choice; you can begin and end this once in a lifetime opportunity "today" haunted by the ghosts of your past: Regret, disillusionment, Anger and fear OR in the splendor of choosing anew; Choosing to rejoice, to be thankful, to forgive and to love.
Yes, this is the day that the Lord has made and you can rejoice and be glad in it, because he made it BRAND NEW, and he made it just for you.

Better Late Than Never...
Who puts the "Star" in Movie? Leo and Kate… now there we have “IT”
I saw Revolutionary Road the other night where DeCaprio and Winslet flawlessly channeled two emotionally torn souls; Frank and April Wheeler. The movie was set in the 50s, and not a single nuance was missed; proving they’ve got the factor “The It Factor.”
At the beginning of the movie neither character had yet been lead away by that pied-piper called the American Dream. Witnessing what happen next was like being the proverbial fly on the wall and I'm so glad I didn't miss a thing.
If you love thought provoking film making and a script that only the most seasoned of actors can carry, then this movie is a MUST see, in a word “Brilliant!” And that folks as always...is In My Very Own Opinion.

'Get Yours' by Amy DuBois Barnett
On 02/27/09 after having read only the excerpt of her book, I sent Amy Dubois Barnett a review which read;
Amy I've read Excerpt 1 - Be Happy from your Book 'Get Yours' and already I've been given bullet points of inspiration to getting mine.
A couple of points that came to me like a distant bell ringing as I read. First, how I've been using my life experiences as a shackle "black girl from the ghetto, correction, in the Ghetto, under educated, Father...less than wonderful, as my excuse for never getting started on my journey to becoming more. Second revelation, after hearing of someones success, especially when they've been afforded a great education, I'd usually say "Okay, no wonder" yet after reading your excerpt I said, "Okay, I'll use her good fortune and life experiences as leverage rather than an excuse for me not to try." If this is any indication of what I can expect after only reading the excerpt of your book, I can't wait to read the rest and recommend it to others.
Thank you Amy for sharing your story of "I can't... to I will" I appreciate you more than you'll ever know.
In My Very Own Opinion...traveling through life like a cyclist on a stationary bike is going no- where fast. And this book may very well be for you and me a single step to that place inside called "Happy."
