Happy 1st Blogday!!!

So today is my happy 1st blogger birthday!!!! Man this is exciting for me...
as you all know i have been really hella busy and pretty stressed, so to actually take time out and reflect on my life, and this blog in particular is just what the doctor ordered...


Let's see i started a year ago today, yes I actually looked up my first blog entry...the person that got me into this was Mikesee...i was always reading his blog and commenting and figured that i had something to say....so i thought about it and decided ok, you know what TC its time...let's blog...


over the past year and 205 entry's i have discovered that i am a lot stronger than i thought, i have a lot more faith than i thought, i am wiser than i thought, cooler than i thought...you know i can honestly say that this blog has been a release for me and has truly helped me to grow...

the past 3 or so years have been really ones of growth for me...and sometimes with growth there are a lot of growing pains...but you know what...it is what it is and it will be what it will be...and i am honestly ok with who i am and where i am going...so all and all life is pretty good you know...

so as i sit and think about my past year...here are some of my favorite blogs that come to mind, in no particular order....

Pursuit of Happyness

around the way gurl

in the ghetto

Unbelievable

I guess its also extremely fair to say that a lot of my growth has come from the relationships that have been established in blog land...so I shall run down my people's....

A woman on the move: what can i say about you...i know i love to read your honest and wit...you are sharp, smart secure and sexually aware...i can't remember how i came to your spot...probably sufferin, but man am i glad to know you-i've learned a whole lot of things from yousistah

MikeSee: my brother...what can i say about you....ummmm....you always offer the male perspective and you always keep us up to date on music, movies, and most of all consciousness...you are the reason i started this all...and man am i thankful!
