Sending Love to Newtown, Connecticut

When I saw the headlines, I felt nauseous. Words escape me to even convey the sadness that the people of Newtown, Connecticut – particularly those affected by the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary – must be feeling right now. Normally this blog is about beauty and light, joyful things, but my heart isn’t there right…

Happy. Proud. Hopeful. Thank You, President Obama

“I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us so long as we have the courage to keep reaching, to keep working, to keep fighting.” – President Barack Obama, from his acceptance speech in the early morning of November…

She’s Bringing Brooches Back

October 29, 2008 by afrobella 29 Comments

Did you see Michelle Obama on Leno this week? To paraphrase one of my favorite Barrington Levy songs — every day I love her just a little bit more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ubl5hSEoIQ0 I would be ever so proud to have her as the first lady.
