Finding the Way in Today’s Times

Once again thanks for visiting my blog, always raw, uncut and un-edited…yah sometimes you’ll find some misspelled words, I try and run spell check, but some misspelled words just get through. Yah, sometimes my sentences won’t make sense, but you know something I am really only writing directly on the post…and I write as I am talking…so anyways…glad to see you here and I want to cover a topic that I am pretty sure that everyone is thinking, hearing or talking about, which is our economy and how it is affecting us, our families and those around you.

I am right there with you…I have a mortgage, a job (knock on wood), family, bills and the many others things that come with our daily life and just like you or many others I am struggling through these economic downturns…sometimes I find myself not able to buy all the necessary groceries, looking to see if I could repair things around the house myself, cutting back on certain cleaners…not just to save money of course but to also help the environment. I look around my house and start turning off lights, turn the power off completely from devices, such as stereos, coffee makers, anything with clocks or even small LEDs…yah its crazy but it actually cut my electricity bill by 25 dollars…weird huh. I now don’t buy clothes until they are truly worn out with holes or hey even longer…sometimes probably a little to long and the fad is over…lol. I combined my cable, Internet, phone all into one company…got a great deal and saving about 40 dollars a month…that internet is starting to look a little iffy, but my son needs it for his homework and research, of course I need it to post on my blog…lol. I look around the house and see everything I could reduce, cut back or eliminate without disturbing our life.

Even when we go out, sometimes we eat out…not much, but when we do…I order water instead of soda, tea or anything, or if at a fast food…I now order happy meals…hey they maybe small portions, but I sort off watch my weight and I get a cool toy...lol. Yah, I know lots of “lol” today, but it’s only because I have to keep a smile through such incredible times.

I probably sacrifice a bit more when it comes to me…and I try to keep my son with good clothes, not expensive but nice, keep him and my family with nice shoes, very important to take care of those feet…I don’t mind not getting things for myself…I guess it’s sort of what a parent does…sacrifice ourselves for our children…it’s ok…I really don’t mind. I maintain my clothing well and you know now that I think about it…the last time I went shopping for myself for anything was at the end of 2007…yah…it was around Christmas when I went shopping for slacks, shirts and shoes one day in 2007…hey they still look pretty goo…well maybe not the shoes…lol.

But as we look at the news, hear about a neighbor or family member or friend of a friend loosing their job, their house…it all becomes overwhelming…so much too take in that we just wait and see if it will happens to us and our family…it’s stressful and it could lead to trouble within families…anger, frustration, depression I don’t know…maybe each of us handle it differently, but somehow we are all in the same boat. Will GM go belly up, will Chrysler, cut jobs, will auto part suppliers go under…the domino effect keeps going and going, then you hear about State cuts, programs being closed, health care benefits being slashed…when you stand back and look at everything you think oh no could this be next “1929 Depression”…of course we hope not.

You know I was talking to a co-worker the other day and we were just commenting on this whole economy and how things are coming to a full circle…we discussed and came to an agreement that we feel that this whole crises we are going through is a way to stabilize the economy…there was so much money being pumped into being rich…rich…rich that we believe it went out of control and its time to get back to our roots…where we as families gave to the community, volunteered in our schools, our communities, donated to our schools and community…I think for many of us we forgot that as a community we work together to maintain our kids and family safe and happy…we think many communities have veered off into their own world and stopped participating within the community. Maybe its time to take a step back and start in our own back yard and become involved with our community, neighbors, and family…maybe helping one another will help us through these tough times. You know we were just talking it doesn’t mean its right for everyone, but that’s what these Blogs are for…voicing, giving out opinions, ideas, food for thought.

My Perspective:
Me, you, those around you are all affected by what’s going on today…yah we can kick, scream, complain and even give up…but I am sure if you stop and look at the mirror…the reflection will tell you that you are not the type to give up, that you have seen so much and giving up right now wouldn’t only make things worse..not just for you, your family, but for all those people around you, your family, your friends, neighbors, uncles, aunts, coworkers, boss, the high school kid working at McDonalds…your attitude does affect a lot of people and maybe its time to stand back and take a deep breath and start pushing forward.

Take initiative to see what you can do to help, maybe walk to school, walk to work if you can, walk to the store, turn off unused lights in the house, take care of your possessions, clothes, electronics, toys, help around the house, cleaning, gardening, keep a upbeat attitude around your kids, family, friends, coworkers discuss problems in private with your spouse, girlfriend or boyfriend, don’t let others hear your financial issues, talk to your significant other before it blows out of proportion. Communication is the main ingredient here…it is what makes the world go round and we need to partake in community events, help, if you can, with school fund raisers…even donating 5 dollars could mean the difference in keeping the Art division for students, we need to get back to the roots, get back to knowing your neighbor, not spying on them, but knowing them, helping them…saying hello. I think if we could give to our community, whether monetarily or voluntary your time…it will make a difference for you, your family, your neighbors and most importantly the children…the next generation, your actions will teach them to give back as you have done and that my readers could lead to a better economy, one that makes sense, one that supports families and the dreams they are made of.

Thanks for reading, I know this topic could have been covered more, there is so much more to say, but for now I only suggest that you take part in your community and whether you donate or volunteer your time…where you live…it will make a difference…I promise…you’ll see it in the smiles of all those around you. Till next time, don’t give up, push forward…we will make it through.

Business – My Income Opportunity is Finally Paying Off


Once again…welcome to another of my posts, today I actually get to look back at one of the business I have been working on since February of 2006.

Today’s post is about a web-based income opportunity that is actually giving me some income.

Now, I am not here trying to sell you anything or asking you to signup for anything, this post is just a little reminder to me that there are business opportunities out there that will actually give you some income…ok…it may not be nothing to write home about, but hey if it is not costing anything to run, right now, and it is paying for its own marketing and giving me a little “extra cash” for that piano lesson for my son, then hey it was well worth the wait.

Let me start from the beginning, February 2 of 2006 I found a company that allows you to own a piece of a website business that is well known and all you have to do is advertise it…get it out in front of the world-wide-web (people). Not only do they offer one website, but many websites that you can promote (advertise) and make some money. I’ll get to there names in a minute…now I know that there are all kinds of methods out there to advertise, but I will let you know the methods I am using right now that are working for me and those that I tried and just wasted my money on.

The website(s) I am talking about are, Adult Friend Finder, Friend Finder, Amigos, Cams, Penthouse and well a lot more to choose from so that you can market. Now, I tried several of them over the last 3 years and the one I have noticed that is constantly giving is Adult Friend Finder, not saying that the others weren’t…it’s just that I decided to concentrate my efforts on this one. You might have a different choice, but let me continue. I joined, it was free to join, and I started to promote on Forums, Craigslist, Back pages, I bought visitors, I bought re-directed visitors, I bought signups, and I campaign though Yahoo Pay Per Clicks and Google Pay Per Clicks. Let me tell you…buying visitors or re-directing visitors or buying signups didn’t work for me, those so called marketing companies that market for you, they didn’t work for me either. I even had a company run a Pay Per Click campaign for me and that didn’t work for me…let me tell you I tried each one for 3-4 months…I gave them a chance…and it did not work…I spent lots of money…maybe not a whole lot but for me it was.

Now, the method of marketing for my online business, “Adult Friend Finder” is through Yahoo Pay Per Clicks. Google is ok, but I always had issues with the ad or campaign and I really did not like their customer support…not saying they are bad…it just wasn’t working for me.

I stuck with Yahoo Pay Per Clicks and I was spending for the first year about 99 dollars a month, now I didn’t see anything except 1 or 2 sales that whole year…the only thing I saw was my membership signups was increasing. About the 15th month I started seeing enough income to pay for the 99 dollars of marketing cost…give and take a few months that year where I had to put in some money. Now about 22 month or so into it…I started getting enough income to cover the cost of Yahoo pay Per clicks…so from month 22 to about 32 the campaign was running all by itself and it was paying itself…ok…please realize that I did nothing really except watch my Pay Per Click campaign key words (I’ll explain that later) during those 9-10 months.

Now, let me rewind how the business works. You sign up for free with this company, you market one of the many websites they offer…you get a number assign (web address link) to you so when you market that website and some one signups as a member you get the credit…which currently is $75 per sing-up…not bad. You set the amount of check you want mailed to you, it’s defaulted to $50, but you can set it to $500, $1000, etc. once you reached that amount a check is mailed to you…I believe it’s set for every 2-weeks…so a person visits your website, they signup for a free 14-day trial membership and if they like it…they convert into a full-time member…this is when you get $75 dollars for that signup.

Now what I did was…I went to Go Daddy and bought a web address for 2 years…and then re-directed that website link I was assigned to that purchased web address…my business so happens to be called 1AdultFriend.com. Ok…so I have Yahoo Pay Per Click campaign running since February 2006 and even though I wasn’t getting any income at the beginning but I did notice that my members count was increasing and well, the more I had the more probability there was for a signup. About 3 or 4 months ago I received a nice check…I had it set to a higher setting…I didn’t want to get $50 dollar checks. And shortly after that I received another nice check…well…I used some of that income to increase my Pay Per Click Yahoo campaign to $150-175 dollars a month, which I have been running for about 2 months and I have to say…the business is paying for that campaign and I have some left over to pay for that 80 piano lesson and that sports signup of $240…oh by the way I put some away…so…I am not rich…and it’s not a whole lot, but how I see it is, if this business is paying for its own marketing and it giving me just a little to pay for some extra curricular activities…its not a bad start. How I see it is, in another 3-4 months I should be able to increase my marketing budget to $300-$400 per month and still have a little extra left over.

Ok…I know it has been three years, and the first 2 ½ years I had to put in my own money…not a whole lot, but I did. But at this rate I calculated that in another 14 months (about May of 2010) I would have broken even…meaning I would have paid myself back for those 2 ½ years of investing my own money and from that point on…it’s all profit…well minus the marketing campaign cost I have through Yahoo Pay Per Clicks. I see that in another year and half I could be making some nice income…so with many trials and errors this business has taken me to build from February 2006 to about May of 2010 to build a real residual income for my household…keep in mind I have a full-time job, and a part-time job, beside a full time family…so my time on this business was no more that 1 hour a day or even less on some days…from day one.

Pay Per clicks through yahoo explained…when you do a search on yahoo…sometimes you’ll see sponsored ads at the top or sides, highlighted in blue…well those are Pay Per Clicks. You sign up through Yahoo, create an ad, then associated key words to that ad, (those words or phrases you use to search the internet…those are key words). Then when someone types in a related key word, then your ad will appear at the top or close to the top maybe within the first 5 entries…depending on your bid, meaning what you are willing to pay to get a higher placing on the search…it could be $0.05 or $4.00 dollars depending…let me say I don’t think I have one key word more that $0.13 cents and I am getting visitors. You set the budget…you could spend 1 dollar a day, that is multiplied by 30 days…that’s what yahoo calculates you marketing budget…realize this like I did…the less you spend the longer it takes…if you could spend $200 a month for 18-22 months…you will build up your business quicker and it could start giving you sooner. Of course do what I did and spend 99 dollars a month and it took me nearly 3 years…and I still need to break even, which I will within the next 14 or so months.

Buy Visitors, re-direct visitors, buy sign-ups…well I tried a lot of different companies and many of them just took my money and honestly…I did a lot…I mean a lot…I never saw one membership signup with any of those companies….so do your-self a favor…and this is only my opinion and what worked for me….doesn’t mean you have to agree…but stay away from those companies that offer, visitors, re-direct visitors or signups…it s just throwing away your money.

Craigslist and BackPages…also work for a nominal fee…they’re not bad…I think I paid 75 dollars for 16 weeks to advertise in Backpages to appear on the top or as a sponsored website…Craigslist…I think there is a 1 or 5 dollar charge…not sure…I really don’t use them any more…but I got some signups. My best marketing venue is Yahoo Pay Per Clicks marketing campaign….that’s just my opinion and I am not getting any credit or money from Yahoo…I just truly like there marketing campaign it works for me.

My Perspective:
As with any business, it takes time…especially on line…yah many would have given up the first year or even after the first 6 months…but I stuck it out and it has worked out…I signup for free and I am actively marketing 1AdultFriend.com through Yahoo Pay Per Clicks, I started with 99 dollars a month and did that for about 22 months, then it started paying for itself for about 8-10 months…give and take a few months I had to put in a little of my own money and now I spend about $240 a month (8 dollars a day) and the website business pays for itself and leaves me a little something. I will continue…and let me say…this is like an investment…you know you could invest in stock and just as easily it could drop…so I see this as an investment. Even if the next 3-5 years it just keeps giving me enough to pay for its marketing and my sons piano lessons of 80 dollars…I truly believe that in 1 or 2 years on this road I will be able to generate enough money after marketing and taxes as a normal full time employee making minimum wage or a bit more…and it all done automatically…all I do is every so often check my keywords and their bids…this business runs day and night24/7 so there is always a chance anytime of the day to get a new member sign-up.

So, if you were ever thinking of investing in your future, again not that I am selling you anything, consider joining for free through www.1AdultFriend.com and set aside an investment of $30-99 dollars a month to market your website business using Yahoo Pay Per click or any other venue of marketing you like…and most importantly…I cannot stress this more…be patient…the business will not make you rich over night…but with time, maybe 3-5 years (maybe sooner) and hardly no work on your part…you could be surprised with monthly checks…for the rest of your life. $30-99 dollars a month marketing investment is not a whole lot…if you look close enough I am sure you could find a monthly marketing budget that will fit your life and remember its like investing in stocks…or commodities…you are looking for a long term investment…this website business will do that for you.

Hey I appreciate you reading this post, and all I ask is that you research this business…its solid and long term. Visit www.1AdultFriend.com and scroll towards the bottom and click on the Affiliate button”…get the information to make a sound decision…remember there is no cost to sign up. Your only investment would be about 30-99 dollars a month for about 2-3 years (you decide on that amount)…and then you should start seeing income to pay for the marketing… you not having to take out from own pocket…then maybe by the 3rd or 4th year you could start increasing you marketing budget and then by the 5th or 6th year and beyond you should start receiving a nice monthly check…I don’t know. It won’t cost a thing to research it and joining is free…if you decide to move forward the only cost would be for marketing…just a thought…visit www.1AdultFriend.com check out the affiliate section and thinking about it…I think if you join and move forward…you’ll be happy with your decision. If this is not for you…hey I understand…I just wanted to share one of my real life experiences…that’s all…and hope that maybe it could make a difference in someone’s life.

Take care and till next time or better said…till the next post.

Being a Father


Once again thanks for reading another of my posts, so this one is actually from the my life and well it might sound more of a venting post, but I hope to get some feedback or maybe a few suggestions.

Today’s topic is about, “A troubled 7 Year old” and how to father, guide, educate and communicate with him.

Now, to be honest I didn’t have a father figure growing up…all I remember is my mother working…working…working, so when it came down to me, it was all up to me. Homework, washing clothes, cooking, living and learning…it was all up to me to learn and believe me when I say a lot of that I learned the hard way. Believe me I am not making excuses…it’s just that I wish I had someone I could have compared my fathering…is that a word…oh well…to someone else. I always hear this from friends, “Well my father told me….or my father use to say”. Well my father wasn’t around so I have nothing to refer to. Yah I read books, lots of books, on being a father…..ok some of them were pretty bad…some were written by men that were not even fathers…and of course some books gave good pointers or suggestions, but I felt that they always lacked that personal touch…feeling…bonding and now that my son is 7 and starting to be his own little man…I feel that I am loosing him.

The last thing I want is for my son to hate me…I want him to be able to come to me for anything….with any questions…I am no guru when it comes to life, but I sure have experienced a lot and I am a type of person that is always learning, watching, observing everything around me…yah I sound like a nut, but hey I had a very hard childhood and I had to always work extra hard to get ahead…no help with homework…so I had to listen and ask questions, study longer hours. No help with life’s questions, so I had to learn those things the hard way…and sometimes they weren’t pleasant. I am sure many of us as parents have been or experienced these things or even worse, but I want to help my son avoid these things…teach him what I know…apply them to his school life, his social life…I know as kids or teenagers we don’t want to hear, but I would really like to give him an edge on life…be a good man. I know…people tell me to let him be, let him learn as you did…he’ll be ok…you turned out ok…but you know…growing up…I wished I had my father with me…to play a game, take me to practice…tell me his little secrets on how to build a bird house, talk to a girl…yah…it would have been very cool to have had my father growing up. But I didn’t get that opportunity and yah my son could learn the hard way as I did, but I know that once he got older he would look back at our relationship and wished he had his father more.

I really want to get him to trust me, consider me his friend, his mentor…I want him to have someone now, and when he gets older and has a family one day…I want him to be able to come up to me anytime and ask me what ever it is…whatever it is…”Dad I am sorry man I made a mistake and I stole this shirt…”…no matter what it is…having him grow up to do the right thing and feel good about himself is important to me. Confident, responsible and passionate about life and the people and things that live in it…it sounds like a lot what I am asking, but if I could get just a small percent of the goodness I wish for him…maybe he will be a good person, not just to himself, but for his family, friends, colleagues and the community…”Teach him only the good things about me and none of my bad habits”.

Right now whenever I or his mother asks him to do something, like homework, practice piano or clean his room…he just mumbles under his breath, shrugs his shoulders and stomps off to do it…and I really don’t want him to do things with a bad feeling or angry…because then he will do them wrong or I feel he will associate the thing we asked him to do with something bad and I really don’t want that. So I have tried to talk to him, explain things, asked him what he feels inside when we ask him to do things…and he could never tell us…I know…I know he is only 7, but if you met him…you would agree that he is a smart kid. I don’t know…I feel that I am running out of ideas or solutions...well that’s my post for today and the topic…I am sure there are many parents out there in the same situation.

My Perspective:
Well, I have been told by parents and other single people that I should let him be and that we as parents only need to set an example, and listen. Well, I disagree….I don’t know why…but I didn’t have my father around and I didn’t like…ok…well…better said I didn’t have a father figure around when I was growing up. I feel that we should try and teach our kids to be confident, independent, and good person in society. I feel that we should give them the tools they will need to move ahead on the right path….ok I know many of us can’t afford giving our kids piano lessons, or karate lessons or even put them into a sport camp or pay for school functions…yah…I know that…I live it.

You see I have to work extra hard to raise an extra 80 dollars for his piano lessons…or give up something I enjoy…to scrap up 200 dollars to sign him up for a season of sport…it takes sacrifice on our part as parents, but when I see him playing the piano beautifully and the teacher is amazed on his progress or when I see his eyes light up when he put on his gear and goes out to play…it no longer becomes a sacrifice…I feel that our sacrifice will guide him on the right path. Yah I have seen kids go opposite when all there childhood they had loving, giving parents and all it took was one bad crowd to guide your child on another path and then all that work and sacrifice we did as parents is thrown out the window…but is that a chance we take.

I feel that I am loosing…I feel that I am headed in the wrong direction…I know he is only 7, but I feel that I need to catch it now and hope to correct the issue or trouble he might have hidden inside him…maybe its nothing and only a stage, but what is a father to do.

Thanks for reading and I hope to see some feedback or suggestions…until next time hang in there.

Interracial Relationships


Welcome to another post. I do want to say that I am truly sorry for not having posted in such a long while, and only do to the fact that I have a three month at home and well…they do require a lot of attention, but here I am and I am touching on topic that was actually requested by a reader….so thank you Reader and lets see what you think.

Now, today’s topic is and always has been on the whispers of the society…it has been a controversial issue since…well…since at least my parents grew up and probably even further…actually of course…because they did share their view on this, which of course I will share. What I am talking about is Interracial Relationships. What I am saying hopefully won’t cause any hardships and as with my blog and of course many others this is solely my opinion and my experiences…they are not to be taken to heart, but rather viewed as a perspective of another’s person view and I hope only to provide you the reader with some interesting information…now I am saying all this because I am certain someone will undoubtedly contradict my view…which is fine…and I welcome it…I just don’t want anyone to get offended…ok…that’s more what I don’t want…anyone to get offended…ok so enough about that and let’s move on.

Now, growing up for me…interracial relationships was a big taboo…nobody really said anything when they saw it, it was only whispered in private, “Did you see Ajay with Susan today, I wonder what her mom thinks”. Those were the types of comments, in private that were said. Now…in high school…I recall…it was a total in-thing…..you know there was perception about certain ethnic groups…mainly men…of course easiest one to mentioned…and well women wanted to find out…plain and simple.

Now, Black-American men having relationships with Caucasian women was the most common and high school kids thought it was totally cool…but…but…many that were in a relationship did so in secrecy…mostly because of their parents and of course adults. They did want parents or adults to condemn them and make their lives more difficult…as it was their relationship was always scrutinized…even a simple hand-holding in the mall…got them unwanted remarks. Now, the funny thing is it wasn’t only the adults that did not approve of these relationships…the thing is…and I did hear these comments…many of the Black-American women did not like these relationships…many of the comments whispered, “Why does she have to date Ajay, can’t she find herself a white man. Now they are up all on our men”. So on occasion I did see a few fights between women of color and Caucasian woman…I think that an the fact that your parents or other adults scrutinized the relationship made it more difficult for those that fell in love that were separated by their color.

I remember my mother, she wasn’t against it…but of course she always did tell me to marry an nice Mexican woman…hey…you know…she wasn’t against it, but she did indirectly wanted to guide me down another road…well incase I got any ideas…lol. Now, I recall my father…well some of his friends talk about the military years and how they met their wives over seas…mostly in the Philippines’, China, or Bangkok and how when they got home…they never heard the end of it from there parents. So it was interesting growing up…it wasn’t a totally awful experience, but there was some indirect tensions directed towards interracial couples.

Now, I have to bring it closer to the present…the funny thing is…I still see, sense issues with interracial couples. It seems even though we broke the barrier, and time has passed to let society take in this Interracial Relationships…people still have issues…but the thing is…for example women of color still do not like the idea of a Caucasian women in dating a Black-American man...is that weird. The thing is if you see a Black-American women dating a Caucasian man…its weird for some reason…they don’t get scrutinized as much…hmmm…makes you think…there must still be some double standards…come on…even in today’s world we get people still have to sit in the back of the bus…not intentionally…but it happens indirectly.

So whether you are Black-American, Caucasian, Asian, or Mexican…and you interracial date…there seems to be some kind of pressure you have to live with directly or indirectly….which always puts strain on the relationship. Yah we have all seen a Black-American man dating a Caucasian woman…and people don’t say anything or maybe you see an Asian woman dating a Caucasian man, or a Black-American man dating a Mexican woman…but how I see it…and I could be wrong…people will always give you some kind of beef for being in that relationship…directly or indirectly…but it happens…so how I see it is…we have got passed the whole color-of-skin issue and we still bestow these values onto our children.

My Perspective:
Now, you or those that read my perspective might not agree…everyone grows up with different values and I can’t speak for you or anyone else…it is something I believe each individual needs to step back and reflect on what is the real issue in these Interracial Relationships. It comes down to…as a parent…you raised your child(ren) as best you could, giving them your values, hoping that what you taught them makes them a better person. Because when it comes down to it…ALL parents want the best for their children, but many parents cannot separate what is best for their child(ren) and what makes them happy. Not necessarily what a parent thinks to be the best for their child is the best thing…but what a parent can do is be happy for them when they are happy.

What do I think…when it comes down to it…it isn’t about the color of the skin…I mean you could be black, brown, purple, or what ever color you want, but it’s really the individual. If someone makes you happy then that’s where the heart is. If you are in a bad relationship, arguing, fighting, abusive, it doesn’t matter the color of your skin…that should never be. People fall in love because that person makes them feel good…and they like being around that person. Color doesn’t make a difference…really…a fist is a fist whether it comes from a Hispanic person or a Caucasian person…words hurt whether they come from a Black-American or a Asian…so as parents and adults we need to only care about the happiness of the person.

Ok I know what people are thinking…hey I am Hispanic and I get pulled over by cops, treaty differently at restaurants, etc…etc. But does that mean you need to be what society thinks you are…should you be a better person. I know…I know being treaty different isn’t the best feeling…when you come into a restaurant and you wait to be seated and sure enough 2 or 3 other parties (Caucasian) go before you…yah you know there was no reservations in the restaurant…so do you take it out on everyone that is around you? Do you allow them to make you be out what they expect you to be…no. You learn, you teach the right things…and maybe with enough time people could change…because you know…we can…we just need to stop the cycle…hey that’s what I think…it’s a cycle…ok…that’s my opinion.

I personally do not see the color, yah I have been treaty differently in public places, yah…I have heard the comments, insults have been directed to me…I have been passed up on a few job positions because I am Mexican…but you know…I only take that as a learning experience, as an opportunity to find a solution…every dog has his day…sounds weird, but my day will come. I am a professional, I have been in my profession for 18+ years and right now…I have Presidents, Vice Presidents, Directors, Managers and others in my fields approach me for help. I have closed 15 million dollar deals and I have earned the respect of my colleagues…it’s taken me a while, but I am there…now I pass that on to my children…the goodness…because I don’t believe that I know what is best for them…I believe I know how to make them happy…and of course along the way guide them on the right path.

If you are happy with that someone whether they are Purple, Blue, White, Black, Brown or any other color, you’ll always get some scrutiny, bad looks form people, but you keep being happy and remember you made a choice, just remember don’t let that bad Karma pass onto your kids…teach them well…teach them to move passed the color…maybe we can stop the cycle…one child at a time.

I appreciate you reading…please leave a comment, feedback and I’ll try and post a little more often. Till next time…Be Happy!
