Greetings readers. I am finally back after a long break from blogging. It's good to be back and to be able to share my thoughts and experiences with you all once again. I just want to say that 2013 is already going by way too quick! I was fortunate enough to start 2013 in Lagos, Nigeria with my family. It was my second time traveling to Africa and to Nigeria but I had not been there since I was a small kid. It was pretty amazing. It was great to see all of my family. People came from all over to visit us. Nigeria is a very beautiful country. The weather was very nice during the time we went. The people of Nigeria are beautiful and welcomed us warmly (although Nigeria does have its fair share of problems and issues). We had a good time and were glad to return back to States.
Now's back to reality and back to the grind. At least the unemployment rate is slightly going down but America still has a long way to go. We need to advocate more innovation and entrepreneurship. This country needs new ideas that will create new jobs and opportunities. It's times to turn to things around and I believe that it can be done if the government and people can find common ground and focus on the same objectives. I'm not a political person but I'm just speaking on the things I've noticed. Speaking of politics though, I'm glad to see Dennis Rodman and the Harlem Globetrotters had a safe and successful trip to North Korea. Nice move USA. Last thing we need right now is another war so being diplomatic and finding common ground was a smart way to go.
I do hope that the violence, especially in America reduces and eventually stops. I know I'm not the only one that's tired of hearing about innocent children being murdered by nut jobs or helpless people being slaughtered. It's getting pretty real out there! Time to take responsibility of each other and do what's right. This year I want to keep a positive energy and stay focused. I read somewhere that your thoughts are powerful and that they are small waves of energy that goes out into the universe. So basically, they have the snowball effect and so the energy that is sent out returns in greater force...Now I do not know if this is truth or not but if it is then I want good things coming my way so I'm going to start giving out good energy and vibes and being more positive. I DO believe that your attitude affects your environment around you. So either way, being positive seems more appealing then being negative. On the that note I'm going to leave with some words of encouragement. Life is not always positive. There are good times and bad but that's what makes it beautiful. In life, you should find something you love or love to do and share it with others because that's what defines you. It's been fun guys, this is life as w know it...peace.
