APS: Who's Really At Fault?

First off, let me say that I am THOROUGHLY impressed with 11Alive's coverage and breakdown of the APS investigation report. If you were not able to catch their school-by-school review, you can view the video here. WARNING: It's startling, it's disappointing and scary to think that these accounts render a "mafia-like" mentality. How can people we've held in such high regard, and entrusted the educational careers of our children in, do such things? Good question... but here's an even better one... "Who's REALLY At Fault?"

Are You Stale?

Have you ever bitten into something that’s stale? There is nothing worse than having your mouth set on eating a chip, a cracker, a fry, or a piece of bread, only to realize that it has become stale, flavorless and cold.

Believe it or not, it happens like that in life, too. We get so caught up in trying to balance career, family and finances that we don’t realize we’ve evolved into a “flavorless” existence. Think about it, prior to adult responsibilities, we had hunger and ambition. We had zeal and imagination that dared us to be greater than people’s expectations… even our own. We had dreams of entrepreneurship, writing books, starting non-profits, singing, acting, etc… but where did they go? Have our fresh ideas, thoughts and desires become so stale that they’re lost for good?

Why Good Girls LOVE Bad Boys!

BAD BOYS... THUGS... RUFFNECKS... these are the men that women DON'T want, but GOTTA HAVE!!!

Why the contradiction, you ask? Well, we had the exact same question, so we had to bring in Dr. Joyce Morley to help us put it out there for discussion on today's POWERTALK w/ Lorraine Jacques White! Needless to say, a heated debate ensued as Mars (men) and Venus (women) got to verbal scrappin'!

All I Want Is Your K.I.S.S.

DISCLAIMER: This post may mirror an entry in the diary of a mad Black woman... however, I encourage you NOT to take this personally! This exhale is simply drawn from the gutteral of my experiences and those of my friends. Today was just the day that the frustration came to a head.

Please understand that NOT ALL MEN fall into the category of this rant, and I will be the first to profess that THERE ARE GREAT MEN IN THIS WORLD! I know MANY of them, so there is no doubt in my mind about that fact; and thus, this does not apply to those. However... for boo-boo the fool and his entourage of nitwits... I dedicate this piece to you :)

Men, I encourage you to K.I.S.S.... and no, I don't mean the act of juicy lip-locking! I mean KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID!
