The Power of Mother

Charlotte Brenda (Owens) Bayless

Born June 11, 1943

Left February 19, 2004

My mom would have been 65 years old tomorrow. WOW. I can't believe that its been four years since her death. There are certain days when I think of her the most; the day of her death, Mother's Day and her birthday. Mom loved to celebrate her day. There was always a party planned with her cooking the bbq.

I'm not going into any major details or rants. I just want to acknowledge the most powerful love I've ever experienced (outside of God). NO one has every loved me like my mom. She loved Rhonda, the good, bad and the ugly. I REALLY miss that. I seek it.

So tomorrow, I'm going to drink a coke in her honor.

I love you mom!

This song reminds me of mom only because of the theme. Its actually one of my favorite songs, a nice little groovy tune.

Thanks to the Mudkids.

As someone who has been very transparent on her blog, I find this essay by Kevin refreshing. I just happen to see this on Facebook as someone posted it many months ago. Thanks KP. I AM A SEXIST MALE. I take no great pride in saying this, I am merely stating a fact. It is not that I was born this way-rather, I was born into this male-dominated society, and consequently, from the very moment I began forming thoughts, they formed in a decidedly male-centered way. My "education" at home with my mother, at school, on my neighborhood playgrounds, and at church, all placed males in the middle of the universe. My digestion of the 1970s American popular culture in the form of television, film, ads, and music only added to my training, so that by as early as age nine or ten I saw females, includ...

Aquarius Rising - Authentically Me

Aquarius Rising - Sy Smith I'm not one to really get into Zodiac signs and yet I'm fascinated the astrological relationship to our spirits. I know we all still blame the moon for man's "lunacy". When I read about the sign of Aquarius, I'm taken by how much it does describe me. I'm not guided by astrology but I do recognize its connection to the Universe. Some don't realize how man used astrology throughout the bible as a guide for God's people. But this isn't about astrology and the Christian faith but me being the fabulous Aquarius female that I am. This is me, basically...READ ON Aquarius (The Sun is in Aquarius from approximately January 20 to February 18, depending on the year). One of the standout characteristics of those born under the Sun Sign of Aquarius is their unwillingness to follow the beaten track. With ...
