The Joy of Self-Actualization
When was the last time you did something that was work-related and felt so satisfied from that experience that you actually thanked yourself for having made the choice to follow that career path? That high level of satisfaction was all mine as I worked with a group of ladies at the Wyandanch public library who for […]

School and Community Collaborate to Empower Children
The Christian Cultural Center’s Cultural Arts Academy Charter School – a charter school of the arts- hosted a homecoming event at their Brooklyn location recently. What was so special about that event was an element that served to raise awareness of the importance of entrepreneurship for those who pursue the arts – especially for children at the primary school […]

Celebrating a Daughter
Even though birthdays are regarded as the foremost occasions that call for celebrating family and friends, some believe that people must be celebrated more often. The celebration I speak of is one that makes our loved ones and people in our circle feel appreciated for the human beings that they are, and for the […]

Celebrating Wyandanch Youth: High School Students Rise Up to the Occasion!
Since, I cannot in good conscience consider the workshop participants’ comportment and commitment to the task at hand a mere coincidence, I must thank the good villagers of Wyandanch and give them due credit for the effective role they collectively play in the lives of our youth. Kudos to the parents and caring community members, the Wyandanch library director who stopped by for a pre-workshop chat, the Youth Program Coordinator and library staff who pitched in to make this a wonderful experience for all, and the leadership of the Wyandanch High School who undoubtedly foster a sense of discipline in their students. Keep it up!

What’s A Mother To Do?
I want to thank everyone who “liked”and commented on this profile picture on Facebook. I felt compelled to post it in recognition of all moms who are currently dealing with saying ‘goodbye’ to their daughters and their sons as they leave for college or as they leave home to experience life as responsible young adults […]

In the News: A Sad Commentary
http://patch.com/new-york/bellmore/s/fqyzw/nude-photos-of-long-island-students-being-posted-online-traded-like-baseball-cards In the ‘olden days’ family members were forbidden to speak up when sexual atrocities were perpetrated upon them by uncle, daddy or grandpa “so and so”. I believe this was an attempt to protect the family’s “good name”. Mothers and wives were forced to “look the other way” in fear of their lives as […]
