Meli Monday - No Justice for Trayvon Martin

Myself, as well as many of you, I assume ~ are heartbroken, sad, disgusted over the Trayvon Martin trial outcome.  It hurts my soul so deeply to see this country in the shape it is in.  The Justice System....is flawed, to say the least.

And we now know, it wasn't an alleged murdered....but a murderer, who was aquitted.

So what comes next?

Hopes & Dreams

As AMERICANS we should ALL STAND and see to it that JUSTICE is served and that Trayvon Martin did not die in vain.  With skittles and juice in his pockets.  CIVIL RIGHTS ARE CIVIL RIGHTS!!!

I, too, am tired.  And this time...I AM NOT GIVING UP!!!!! 

Where did I leave off last time?  Ahhh, yes, NEW BEGINNINGS.   Up next....

duckin' and divin' and still livin'

Well hellllllooooo lil neglected blog o mine!  Oh, how I have missed you!?! 

There have been many happenings going on since I last touched base.  Life continues to throw blows my way, so I just keep duckin' and divin'.....and of course, I keep on jivin'!  hehe.

Sit back, relax and grab a cup o da good stuff.  I am playing catch up on my life via pictures.

Granted.  Lots of stuff happened between each of the next few pictures, but these are the highlights.

{like mentioned above, lots of silly stuff in between!}
 
What stands out the most is how quickly my baby is turning into a little girl.  A very sweet, lovable, and funny little girl.  Life is a continuous beautiful cycle...though not always easy to understand.  She helps me stay focused on the positive, not feed into the negative.
 
Speaking of this continuous beautiful cycle of life...I recently met my most precious nephew, Brylan.

And my spunky niece is thrilled to be a big sister now.  Something Layla still keeps asking to be...

{silly and smart!! she's got it all.}
 
As most of you know, Texas gets hot quick, we rarely have a "winter."  So we have already found the time to sneak in a beach visit and say a friendly hello to the Galveston Pleasure Pier, which is ahhh-ma-zing!  Love it, ready to go back.

And if the proof isn't in the pudding, aka my pictures, to prove how fast Layla is growing up....I present to you....

Yeah, crazy!!!!  I have a first grader on my hands. 
 
I hope you all have a wonderful beginning to your summer.  I am planning to be 'round more often.  So, stop on by.

Tragedies strike often.  This is apart of our world...but when young, innocent children are involved, it makes that sting so much more.  Some of the images I have seen tear me apart. 

Our Oklahoma family is safe.  For now.  More strong storms are expected.  They need our prayers.

We had plans to visit Oklahoma this week.  We have a cousin who is terminally ill with cancer and we wwere hoping we could visit with him before the inevitable.  Right now that visit is on hold.
