I'm originally from Detroit, Michigan. I now live in Scottsdale,Arizona. I went from the #1 Chocolate City to the 5th whitest city in America. Yes there was a cultural shock. I celebrate Kwanzaa no matter where I am if I have to celebrate it with just my daughter and myslf.
In Detroit its a very big deal with Kwanzaa Celebrations going on every nite. Kwanzaa has grown fron a Black American Celebration to one that is celebrated world wide. All communities are now celebrating Kwanzaa. People celebrate at home, in the workplace and at their houses of worship. Gatherings go from informal to very elaborate events where people rent nightclubs, Museum of African American History and other large venues. Many of them including the City Hall Building allow vendors to come sell and disseminate info about their businesses.
Truly celebrating the principle and purpose of Kwanzaa. Kwanzaa provides a way to Buy Black and shop local. Many consumers discover businesses they never knew existed and continue to patronize after the season.
Do you celebrate Kwanzaa? Whether you celebrate or not it is a gift buying season with emphasis on handcrafted items as gifts. If you sell product you really show have Kwanzaa as part of your marketing stategy. There are now many who no longer celebrate Christmas because it has become so commerical and they only celebrate in church. Many of these same people celebrate Kwanzaa because it is a time of communal sharing and the emphasis on handcrafted gifts.
Do you celebrate or ignore Kwanzaa? Kwanzaa.com will give you info on how to share Kwanzaa with your family.

The internship will consist of a summer work program, during which the selected students will have the opportunity to work on a number of engineering projects at a CDM office.

In my personal opinion (which is the only one that matters) a celebrity diva (maybe with the initials M.C0 should be given the same amount of privacy during pregancy that they require on a day to day basis. You can't pick and choose what you want us to know. Well you can but its unfair to the fans who are invited into your lives and then shut out on a whim.
And I just knew MC was gonna let it all out at her Christmas album release party, but she choked up.
And then what's to hide?
Why not let the world enjoy in your expected bundle of joy? Just a few months ago you invited us in when you wanted to croon about Eminem's obsesion with you (oh yeah you weren't talking about Slim Shady) now we aren't in again.Cold it possibly be that at 40 their are more issues to worry about surrounding your pregnancy? Could it be because you don't want the world to know that you not only married but conceived a child with a man-child?
I mean really though, pregnant or not, you're still the same mariah that serenades us with your holiday tunes.
So spill the beans already!!!!

Are You Reaching for the wrong things?
Have you ever thought to consider that the very thing your reaching for and can't seem to get be the very thing God is protecting your heart from? If you are a parent and you were cooking and you saw your toddler reaching to feel on top of the stove the first thing you would do would grab your child to safety and then your next move would be to remove all things of harm out of their way. Well my friend when you think about it that's the very thing God does in most cases because his job is to protect us and keep us from reach of harm's way and he very well will not allow his child to get hurt but sometimes because a toddler cannot see how something that captures his attention so greatly would harm him eventually he will venture back only to get a little nip of heat on his finger tips, and what could a little nip could be a major lesson to the toddler and we all know experience is the best teacher. I say this my friend because this has to be a reminder to us when we do not get that promotion we want,the loan was not approve for that dream house you wanted, that relationship that you have been holding on to but it just cannot seem to get right, or that great job you always wanted and you were sure that the interviewer was certain to pick you...although these things did not come to pass you must still be encouraged because what God has for you it is only for you. I often indulge myself in 1 Corinthians 2:9 However it is written “No eye has seen, no ear have heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him”. So I tell you this in closing everything you are going through was aloud by God so that he could bring you to a place to trust him and prepare you for a much greater blessing he has in store, your life was already planned out and in your future because you continued to trust and love him and just like a parent when everything is done and the meal is set before you to enjoy you will see that it was well worth the wait and while you were trying to reach in the pot prematurely you learned how to get this disappointed and hurt and you took it in as a life lesson so its best to wait on God for guidance because he will never fell you nor forsake you.....God Bless

As I awaken with the gift of yet another day and prepare for the tasks at hand, Ioffer up this most ardent prayer:
I pray for continued clarity of purpose so that I may hold my vision steady andkeep my focus on the needs and success of others, which in turn shall bring memy success.
I pray for the wisdom to expect abundance in my life, that it surrounds me and isavailable for the taking and to be shameless and unapologetic upon its receipt,for I deserve abundance.
I pray for a cheerful countenance, be it clear or cloudy skies and that I mayradiate and infect others with my positive attitude.
I pray for the trust of others that they may recognize my sincerity and trueintentions so that we may move forward together.
I pray for the strength to fend off adversity and use my desire and determinationas both weapon and shield.
I pray for the courage to carry forth my convictions during the battle ofbusiness and to resist temptation to a quicker monetary result when such temptationcompromises these things for which I stand.
I pray that I may be used as a lightning rod to collect the amazing ideas alreadypresent in the universe and when blessed with such inspiration, that I may beable to apply my talents and abilities to turn the power of thought intomeasurable advancement of my goals.
I pray to retain my childhood wonder so that I can recognize and revel in thesmall miracles of each day that others may miss.
I pray for an infinite supply of self-confidence for it alone fortifies faith,strengthens my resolve and conquers the largest enemy I will ever face - fear.
I pray for a compassionate spirit and the patience to offer those who seek myadvice and my help, my full and undivided attention.
I pray for good health and a feeling of well being, and the continued desire toimprove those areas of my physical life I may be neglecting in the name of myspiritual and entrepreneurial advancement.
I pray that today is a day of excellence and at its conclusion I can acknowledgeand be grateful for the forward motion I have made and the growth I haveexperienced.
I pray most of all for the understanding and support of those closest to myheart, my family, that they will equate what may seem like endless hours ofapparent pre-occupation with affairs of business to what is at the very core ofmy being, that which drives me, for once I achieve what I have set out in itsfullest, I will become that more complete being I strive to be.
It is for these things that I pray, for I am an entrepreneur.
I pray in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen
Show love to small business this holiday season. This time of the year is make or break for us just as it is for large companies. The Big difference, our money is recycled back into the community and not sitting in someone's portfolio. So when you head out for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, leave a credit/debit card or cash a home so you can spend some money with a small business. Preferably a Black Business.
We are and will be the employers your kids will get their first job with. We are first on the list when community groups need contributions of any kind. Yet if we don't have the sales we can't support the community. This is the circle of Life.
I rarely do sales so take advantage of it.

Thanksgiving kicks off the traditional holiday season. I believe that Thanksgiving is when families get together and reflect on their blessings and, on those that are less fortunate.
Whether you believe in the war or not; military duty is the ultimate form of giving back.
Giving to other seems to happen more during this time of the month, but there are others that give ALL year long.
With the current economical situation, and with over 1 million people are unemployed; I want to do my part by giving back. My ultimate experience of giving back was last year for a homeless shelter. The opportunity to serve dinners, reminds me of the original Thanksgiving dinners, was it was a place for strangers to meet and shares the bounty of the Harvest.
We at Security First & Associates hope that your Thanksgiving is filled with Blessings, and that while you are enjoying your dinner, Please take a moment to help me, to help people that are unemployed, back to work.
