Exhale


I've yet to decide exactly how and when I'll fully post it on my site, but I'm very excited to finally "release" this video! I've been sitting on it for a few weeks, and as of today, it's now live on Trinity's site. I can't even begin to tell you the number of hours that went into this, but I had a lot of fun with it.

Here is a video I created to list the credits:

Check-up

While organizing the apps, etc. on my iPad, I decided to take a look at one of my saved websites. It just so happened to be the site of the organization I referenced a few months ago, the one that "temporarily replaced" me (Glad I didn't hold my breath on that one!).

Anyway, the new site that was done free of charge looks like this on my iPad:

What can I say? You get what you pay for!
 
As you may or may not know, Apple devices currently do not support Flash. Say what you will about that business decision, but regardless, guess how many Apple devices were sold last year? 93 million iPhones and 40 million iPads (ABC Nightline, 2.21.12 - [1:13 - 1:19])

To Mom

First of all,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my beautiful mom!!

2007 - Ages 25 & 50

This post is just for her, and in honor of moms everywhere. In September, my co-worker asked for a photo to use as an intro for Trinity TV segments that I produce, so I took a few at my desk. Well, as I scanned through them to make my final choice, I noticed something...

Mom was right! 
Sitting up straight really does make a huge difference! Look!!


(Please know that I'm laughing at myself as I post this.)

What If?

Last night's 20/20 special on Whitney Houston's life was so moving, and within the first 15 minutes, I couldn't help but wonder. I can already hear the nay-sayers, but just hear me out:

What if this segment had been produced before Whitney died, and presented to her during one of the interventions? 

I understand that addiction is a very powerful thing, but this piece was also powerful, and I can't help but wonder if seeing her life from the beginning, and seeing how beautiful and how incredible she was, would have made a difference. We will obviously never know, but I believe it's one thing to know about all of your accomplishments, but what if she was able to see it as we saw it last night?

What if?

I'm sure many people, like myself, missed the segment on ABC World News last Monday night (2.13.12), especially since it wasn't included in the opening segment before the commercial break. My mom told me about it, so I went online to watch it, and I cried...again. It was absolutely beautiful. I trimmed it down to the last minute to share on here, and I hope you take that minute to watch (with tissue in hand).


This is such a sad day, and my whole heart goes out to her family, especially Cissy and Bobbi Kristina. Just unimaginable pain. My mind can't even almost put myself in Bobbi Kristina's shoes. And at 18 years old? Lord, please have mercy...

Just Sayin'

This is from a friend's blog, simply copied and pasted. These aren't my words, but I found it quite interesting.


Wellfare State, Not Fairing Well


"For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat." 2 Thessalonians 3:10


“A government big enough to give you all you want is big enough to take all you have.” Gerald Ford


1.3 million dollars in deficit spending....


Massive Federal waste...


Why does this make sense to you brain dead voters?


How is this his new proposed budget plan?


The entire social-democratic experience is up in flames, literally in Europe and this President wants to follow suit, and take us down that treacherous road.


Fire, Looting, Destruction. That is what will come from incurring more debt.


FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS IN ONE TERM!!!


How is that possible?


Yes, indeed. You do really have to work hard, get educated, and compete fiercely for success here.
So what's with the psychological shift in America in such a short time?


Why have we become a country of entitlement?


Government subsidies, tuition breaks, mortgage assistance...


We've become so lazy that the guy giving away the free stuff is going to get the vote.


Is this student council politics?
