Obama Accepts Democratic Nomination

Barack Obama accepts the Democratic nomination for President of the United States of America on the 45th Anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech. Approximatey

84,000 supporters turned out to hear Obama's speech which was phenomenal and people were moved to tears, myself included. Watch history in the making!!

Strapped

Yves Saint Laurent "Tribal" strappy gladiators


Jimmy Choo "Glenys" strappy gladiators



L.A.M.B. "Nayuta" strappy gladiators


If you're like me, you love shoes, strappy gladiators to be exact! Sexy sandals can add that "it" factor to a pair of jeans or take a simple dress to the next level. Remember, a great wardrobe includes a spectacular shoe. My mother always taught me that you can have on a nice outfit, but if your shoes aren't right, then you're outfit is ruined. Be "in style" from head to toe!

Beside Every Great Man........

is a Great Woman; and Michelle Obama will be our first lady. I know my blog is starting to look like Obama Central but what can I say?? I love this family and what they stand for. Mrs. Obama's speech was eloquent and real; you could relate to their story. She was very stylish, I might add! After the speech, I loved the interaction between Barack, Michelle, and their two darling daughters, Malia and Sasha. Lastly, I can't stress enough, the importance of getting out to vote!!!!!

In Loving Memory of Bertha M. Jackson

Today my grandmother would be 81. Although she is no longer with us, she will forever remain in our hearts. She was a woman of dignity and grace. Even though my grandmother had a husband, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, she still found time to be a mother and a friend to the neighborhood and beyond. Her door was always opened at "Potter" Road and all the neighborhood children wanted to be at our house. My grandmother had a great, big heart; and her family & friends cherish her. We thank you for your love and wisdom!

We Love You, Granny!!!!!!

Love,
Kitten
