February is a fruitful month which we know to be filled with celebratory events such as: Black History, Superbowl Sunday and Valentine's Day. In addition to these well known festivities, I also have personal historical dates within this month such as birthdays for my brother, uncle, daughter, and ex-husband. Within this month is also my former wedding anniversary and date of post-pregnancy surgery. As I journey into this month, I am reminded of the monumental moments that occurred and that are commemorated this month. For me, I celebrated life (the lives of my family), a new life in marriage, and the end of the ability to bring forth new life (post-pregnancy surgery). When I think about where I am and who I am today, on this 1st day of February. I can see just how far I have come. Although I am not where I want to be, but I am not where I used to be. Even though I am not what I want to be, I am not what I used to be. I thank God for who what and where I am for it is He who hat brought me this far and I thank Him for His Favor and Blessings.

A Historic Celebration
Today is a commemorative day of remembrance as we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday as we remember the struggle of the civil rights movement as well as the accomplishment of how far we have come as a nation. On this day we also celebrate the second inauguration of the first African American President Barack H. Obama. For on this 21st day of January 2013, we can reflect on how far we have come and the journey that still lies before us as a nation. As an African American female who served as the Ferguson Township Telephone Bank Training Coordinator for Organizing for America; and served as the Voter ID Law/Registration Education Advocate for the Elderly with Women for Obama in State College, PA. I am elated to witness the accomplishment of our country. I am therefore proud to say Happy Martin Luther King's Day, Congratulations to our President Barack Obama and May God Bless America!
