I'm feeling green this morning....

Career Writers Association is going to be doing big things this summer.
I will send out emails to notify you of events and contest in the near future. You can also check out http://www.careerwriters.net for updates. We are here to be a light, so let's shine! Below is your CWA Tip of the week. Enjoy!

CWA Tip of the Week: Recycle that junk! Go GREEN!
With a new baby I have accumulated so many plastic Similac containers. I have no idea why I started collecting them but now I have a trash bag full. I thought to myself...what should I do with all these containers...reuse them...maybe make storage out of them...but what could I store in something so small...spare change? sugar? flour? well, whatever I store I would have to wash the containers out first...take off the labels and find a place to stack them...
all of that didn't seem like it would ever happen...You know how you plan to do something with the junk in your house but you never get around to it and the stuff just stays there forever? Well, these containers have been collected over three months... then it hit me...Why don't I recycle them? I mean it's not hard and

I could help the environment or even make a little cash! So I started searching online...

I typed in "recycle plastic, dallas area, TX" and wallah! tons of sites appeared.

Listed below are a few of the ones I really liked.

Woohooh! I'm going green!

I am going to drop my plastics off today,
I hope you, too, will join me!

Even Angels Learn How to Fly

This song was right on time. I am so sad today but Fantasia sang on the Monique Show, "Even Angels Learn How to Fly" and it made me cry but also encouraged me.

YAY!!! Sotomayor finally has a seat at the justice table!

Hooray Sotomayor has finally been confirmed! Yay for OBAMA!

"The Senate confirmed Sonia Sotomayor Thursday as the first Hispanic justice on the Supreme Court. The vote was 68-31 for Sotomayor, President Barack Obama's first high court nominee. She becomes the 111th justice and just the third woman to serve."

This is a small step for man but a giant leap for equality regardless of color.

Question of the week; Are some names too "ghetto"?

Let's be honest. I'm not calling out any names but some... names sound like they are straight from the hood. Is this okay or not?
Please cast your vote in the survey. And add a comment if you'd like. Thanks!

I LOVE MICHAEL JACKSON!!!

All I have to say is USHERS and CHRIS BROWNS can be manufactured in studios everyday but there will never ever be another MIChAEL JACKsON!! He was the most unique star. period. he created his own style. dance. look. image. life. he had a heart of gold. They tried to destroy him but GREATNESS can not be destroyed. MJ was timeless. he will be greatly missed but I sincerely think he is in a better place now. I can imagine all the little children in heaven running to him as he arrives. He would never hurt a child. He was a child himself. He had mental problems. He never got to be a child as a child so he chose to be one as an adult. I understood Michael Jackson. I am so glad he can rest now and not be tortured by accusers and defamation. I pray in heaven he loves himself. That was his number one issue; he hated his looks but little did he know it never mattered what he looked like on the outside because inside he was pure and he was beautiful inside and he did so much for the children and entertainers of this world..
