  • Working hard.

    Well, besides working very hard at work, I am working hard at putting a rally in Central Park to raise child abuse awareness and also honoring Nixzmary Brown.

    Everything is going well, but I can only stretch my money so far and there is only so much one person can do.
    I already filed for the permit but I am still looking at other options. I have been thinking about calling out different schools community colleges with large auditoriums in order to hold the Rally.  Yesterday I had no luck getting in touch with them only because it was Saturday and most schools are closed.

    I did however find out some places that will rent shirts and do t-shirts for a low price and the only thing that has got me worried is the sound system. Where am I going to get microphones/speakers for the rally? All the places I checked are really expensive and I just cannot afford it . Everything is going well except that...I want to get it right to the last detail and I am truly praying to God that he opens doors for me..

    So I'm tired from running around, but I'm doing this out of love for Nixzmary Brown!

    Other than that this weekend was pretty quiet. I stood home with Angel and cleaned my house thoroughly. But mostly I was on the internet all day trying to figure this out! I will keep you posted..Please help me pray that everything will come out ok.

    Hugs to all.

  • Awakening!

    I feel so blessed :) I have like a huge burden is lifted off my shoulders. Ever since I am doing this walk for Child Abuse I have come around so many interesting people that are blessing my life in so many good ways. God spoke to my life today and I know now that he has been with me in the darkest of days :)

    I love you Lord and I don't want to let go of your hand!

  • I finally found my calling...or so I think.

    Never in my life did I imagine putting together one of the most significant march/walk in New York City.
    As I mentioned some time ago in a blog about the murdered and tortured child Nixzmary Brown well her death has affected me and my friends so much that we are putting together a March. A March against Child Abuse and a March to raise awarness. I am in charge of putting it together, from contacting the local community hall to getting on the phone and getting sponsors and special invites.

    I am excited yet nervous at the same time because I have never been in charge of something so big and I am humbled by it, and of course I am doing it out of love for Nixzmary..A girl that never recieved love or respect in her life and we want to honor her. We want to raise awarness of this horrific thing called child abuse and change the way people think about it.

    A week ago her step father got convicted of second degree manslaugther a surprise and discontent to most of us who were following the case from beginning to end. The jury failed to convict him of 1 st degree murder because they said he did not act in little regard for human life..ARE YOU SERIOUS??? How is sexually molesting a 7 year old girl, starving her to the point where she only weighed 36 lbs at the time of death, tying her up to a little chair next to a hot radiator, tying her up so hard that the ropes cut through her skin, how is brusing all her tiny up beyond recognition not disregard to human life..If that is not THEN WHAT IS???
    My good friend and fellow blogger and child advocate Rosey has created a petition that will be fowarded to the judge in charge of Sentencing Cesar Rodriguez, the mayor and the district attorney so that the harshest penalty be used to sentence Cesar Rodriguez. The most he can get is 29 years in jail and parole for good behavior after 8 years serving.

    I was so upset..but then again not even life in jail would be enough to make that scum pay for what he did. Oh and the mother is next on trial. I hope they find her guilty of murder as well....

    So that is why I have not been around. I have been working really hard at work, busy being a mom,  socializing with the people I care about and finding my true calling. I really like where my life is heading, when you put God first, he'll open doors that no one can close.

    If you want to add your name to the petition please visit us at
    www.crimesceneblog.com

    And just add your name.
    I would appreciate it so much and I'm sure justice will be done for Nixzmary and her death will not be in vain.

    God Bless...

  • The Power of Prayer.

    Yesterday for the first time I experienced what you may know as a panic attack/anxiety attack.
    I was so in pain yesterday that I was about to go to the hospital to have my tooth yanked out..Of course only after being heavily sedated with the most potent anesthesia.  The pain would grow worse after I would eat and at around 3:30 after taking Angel out to lunch I came home and attempted to eat I began to cry. I was in so much pain..So, me being so curious went on youtube to see some extraction of wisdom videos. It was so graphic (and since I have never EVER been to a dentist in my life because I have a phobia) I went into panic mood. I began to sweat, breathe heavily, and my face literally went numb. I could not breathe and I could not feel my face.

    I thought I was going to pass out and little Angel came out running to me. I turned off the computer and tried to compose myself.  My mother (probably having that motherly instinct) that something was wrong called and heard me panting and crying. She came right over (she works across the street from our home on Saturday's and Sundays.) She bought with her some vinegar, and some tylenol 3 that her co worker sent to me.
    My stepfather called to offer to stay home with Angel so that I can go to the hospital but I said that I would go in the night when mommy came home.

    I appreciated everyone being concerned.

    So the night went on I took some tylenol 3 and that kind of numb the pain for a bit. But not completely.
    At 8 P.M my mom came home and I offered her something to eat, she ate some cheeseburgers and fries I had bought for Angel but Angel did not finish eating. I would have made dinner but my mom told me not to cook anything, she knew I was in bad shape.

    After that my mom decided to pray for me..Now, I don't mean to call her a saint or a miracle worker, but when my mother prays, it's like woah, whatever I have will go away.

    Last year in July when I had a slipped disc she prayed and I didn't need surgery or therapy.
    December last year, bumps were growing all over my left breasts, she prayed and the next day the lumps began to go away, needless to say I haven't seen a bump since Praise the Lord.

    And last night she prayed for my tooth pain, not only did I sleep well unlike the night before, but I woke up feeling less pain than yesterday. The bump on my gum has become smaller and I ate breakfast with no pain..PRAISE GOD AGAIN!! Right now it's about to be 10 A.M and I feel hardly any pain. It's amazing. I give God the Glory and all praise because he is my healer..

    I told the Lord last night that I will testify about this in church once I feel I am completely healed. The power of miracle is glorious. There truly is nothing impossible for our God.

    But on to other things, my mom's birthday is like in 3 weeks, March 28 to be exact.
    A surprise birthday is out of the question. She already told me she does not want a party, she wants to go out somewhere.

    I'm thinking about taking her out to this Museum Exhibit called "Bodies" in the city. Something I already went to see last year with Angel and that I know my mom would absolutely love. After that I can take her to eat at this nice restaurant in the City my friend recommended where the seafood is delicious.

    But I do want to do something different and nice. Something she will never forget. I've even been pondering contracting some Mariachi to come sing happy birthday early that morning. It's something she has always dreamed of and I wish I could fulfill that dream. I'm going to find out how much it costs.

    I'll keep you guys posted though.

    I think I will stay home today.
    I already bathed Angel and semi cleaned the floors, right now I am about to thoroughly clean our bathroom and then shower and start marinating the steak for tonite.

    I hope the tooth pain is gone for good though.

  • It has been almost the perfect week..EXCEPT!!

    The fact that I think that my wisdom truth is about to pop out..and IT HURTS LIKE CRAZY!! All week long it has been a pain literally and I honestly don't know how I have made it through this week. At first I thought is was a tooth ache, but my tooth wasn't the thing hurting, it was a big lump in my gum next to my last tooth in my right cheek.

    I went to webmd and found out it could be my wisdom tooth. Great I said, but now I am beyond worried. All my friends are saying how if it doesn't come out I will have to go to the dentist to take it out..NO WAY.SERIOUSLY NO WAY!!

    I have NEVER EVER been to a dentist in my life, yes it's a phobia, aside from being afraid of heights and surgery DENTIST are not my very favorite things in the world. I rather live with the pain. (ok maybe thats extreme) but I need to get this thing checked out.

    Other that, life has been treating me good. Emotionally I have been doing great and I got new toys to play with LOL.

    A week ago my tax refund came and I already spent half on
    Clothes for Angel and mom.
    Clothes for me.
    A new sidekick LX from T-Mobile.
    A new digital cam
    A new digital camcorder
    And my new baby(a new laptop).

    I will soon be video blogging so you guys can see me how I can and all :)

    And I also have to confess I have this HUGE crush on this guy in my corner store Deli.
    I only began going last week and when I saw him I felt butterflies in my stomach..I can't remember the last time I left that, it's been so long. But Wednesday he made my day. I went to get my sandwich and he personally took my order, we kind of small talked but the chemistry was SO THERE :)

    He gave me the only kool aid smile when he was making my sandwich and I smiled and it felt like we stood staring at each other for like 5 seconds (good enough for me).

    To my misery(like always) the Deli was closed Thursdsay and Friday and I didn't get to see my crush.

    I can't see him until Wednesday because on Monday and Tuesday I take the cab to the babysitter and dont have a chance to make it to the deli *sighs* it feels good though. I really hope that one of us gets the valor of making the first move..I have a GOOD feeling about this LOL.

    So today I don't really have plans. I did all my shopping this week, and I am kind of tired. Last night I went out to BBQ's with my friend Chris (by the way the suprise party for him was good). Then we went to see a movie at the AMC theather. We went to see "Untraceable". Boy was it a good long movie that will keep you at the edge of your seat :)

    I took pictures, recorded on my cam. I needed it. Everything was great I even ate shrimp for a change. I NEVER eat sea food, but I figured that since I can't chew I might as well get something light.

    It's raining out and I think I might stay home and cook a delicious dinner..Even though I can't enjoy it.. Oh well...

    Hugs.
