Dear Reader,
Have you ever laid awake at night, waiting for sleep to set in and you think over the days past or even a distant memory of other past times? Have you ever thought about what mark you've left in this world or will leave some day?
Some might think of the awards they want to achieve at some point in their lives. Others might dream about road trips soon to be planned or just achieved. Some might dream of the perfect dress/suit to be bought. I wonder though how many people dream of the weight they might leave behind when they've left the earth for good. When their expiration date has finally been stamped and recalled.
I know that might be a heavy topic to think about at such a time in our worlds. But imagine, if you will your dream for what people will say about you when you're gone...
your children? your family-distant and close? Your in-laws? your neighbors? strangers who saw you during your daily to-do lists?
I lay awake tonight. On one of the biggest adventures of my life...and I am pondering what might be the legacy I want to leave behind...I am thinking about the life I have lived. People I love- no matter what pain they inflict-come to mind. Children I have learned from and taught. Laughs I have shared and tears I have shed. Good talks shared with many and heart aches felt to help others.
I lay here thinking as my beautiful husband lay sleeping. I wish I could follow his lead but my mind has taken me to far deeper paths tonight.
Oh, how the mind asks the questions and the person begs for sleep? I can't help but think to the future about the days when I am a mother, a college graduate, a teacher, and still Mrs. Buff. I dream of having a home that my husband and children can be themselves always, to know they are all loved, to sing often and always, to make a difference in my home with my kids-as well with the children I some day will teach and help. I dream of some day leaving this world with a smile and love for my love and kids.
I think I have settled on the answer for my above questions...It doesn't matter to me the mark I will leave behind but simply the mark I am leaving now. If I work now to be the person I want to be then someday I will be. It starts with desire than motivation then hard work then when the day is said and done and the time is well spent I will leave the mark I am intended to leave.
What would you do?
Sincerely,
~BabyDolly!

who cares ANY ways?
Well who thinks this will be a good idea...Lets learn from our history and take old ideas and make them new...
To explain, I think we should take the idea from World War 2 where kids were sent to the country to be safe from bombing or the harshness of war. I want to implament that same ideal for children whose parents have lost their income, housing and can't afford food. I think we should enlist volenteer's, give them back ground check for the ability to take care of children and no criminal problem. I know maybe I am talking to deaf ears but people lets help these kids. We have moral obligation to make sure our own is taken care of before we can help anyone else. My mom says "you can't expect to help the world when your own problems can be helped."
Well, she's right!

Growing Cancer Cell our people Suffer
WARNING: if we suffer the children who will be our leaders for tomorrow?
Recently, there was a big economic down fall. More and more people have lost their incomes. Many of them have worked probably years and years at that job. They probably planned on that income to pay off debts, start families, work on being independent and move further in life to live that American Life. But now all of a sudden they are faced with the last of their savings trying to decide if they should pay for rent or food to feed their family. What are they going to do...some might pay rent and have their place for one more month and go with out food but the kids can't grow on no food. So the other part might pay for food and be without a home in that same month.
Now what? This normal family is faced to find a new place to live. Be that extended family-but no money to travel to them, or finding a shelter. Most of these families end up on the street begging for food, money and the mercy of those more fortunate people.
But what happened to their kids? Where do they live, sleep, or get food? They end up begging, selling what ever they have, and sleeping on the street because they couldn't help mommy or daddy make ends meat.
How are we, the nation of freedom, going to let our own sleep in the cold, open to the harshness of the street and the people who come to this place?
Why are we letting our children hurt and go with out?
I think we should start a system of homes for children to go to...where they are sponsored and are able to be children. To learn and to move on to better standings. Are able to make a difference and have a launching point to do more with life. what say you? Are we a nation who cares for other nations and not our own too? or do we pick those choice to help people who are worthy and make us look good in public? I mean if a kid in Africa is starving we are on that like a fly on poop but we have children dying in our streets of being suffered homelessness. Why can't we lend a hand and save the young?
