The Dating World

Don't really have time to elaborate right now since I literally only have five minutes to post before I have to run out the door but here's something I haven't said in a long time....I have a date next week! Go figure. Now don't get me wrong...many guys talk to me just about every week. That has never been the problem. I'm just having a problem connecting with the right type of man. I'm seeking someone who actually has some time to have conversations with me, care, have fun, be silly...connect. So far, all I meet are guys who simply would have sex with me and leave if I let them. Not what I'm looking for these days. OH...and before I forget, got a strange email also from an ex...haven't heard from him in over a year. I'm not sure how or if to even respond to him since he was yet again another one of the "workaholics" I tend to attract. I feel like I'm in a good place in my life now. I've been able to let go of so many negative feelings and the people who where attached with them. I can now see that there will be someone really special in my future and I don't believe I need to revisit the past to find him. I better go...More on Monday. Day of Service.

The Horror in Haiti

What can I say that hasn't already been said about the devastation in Haiti? My thoughts and prayers are with the people as they fight to get through the chaos and madness of this natural disaster! It is heartbreaking to see that in the wake of the quake, people are dying of silly things such as minor cuts due to infection and lack of treatment. The other tragedy is that aid simply isn't getting there fast enough. This is the reality in countries where minority populations are affected. And... I want to briefly add a "shame on you" to Pat Roberts for his derogatory comments about the people of Haiti. How dare he! He considers himself a man of God?!? Are you kidding me? How can a man of God literally make it sound like it was right for thousands of people to die and then say so cavalierly that's what God wanted?!? Again...shame on Pat Roberts! Anyway...I'm giving him way too much word time than he deserves. Those affected by the earthquake and their loved ones are added to my prayers. At a later and more appropriate time, I do have some thoughts about the fundraising efforts, immigration issues, and other topics surrounding Haiti but now is not the time for debate...just as much positive energy that can be put out into the universe.
