A few thoughts to share…

Hey All,

The PhiDiva has been busy, busy, busy!  First, let me tell ya’ll that I have been able to keep off 13 pounds of my initial 16 pound weight loss!  Yay me!!!!  Well it has not been easy.  I have had to fight, tooth and nail, to keep track on my diet plan.  I am really struggling to make my healthy eating habits a way of life and not just some fad diet.  THIS IS A MUST IF YOU WISH TO KEEP OFF WEIGHT LOSS!

Anyhoo, I have spent some time in the Mississippi Delta.  During my visit (tour), I noticed several things that really bothered me then and now.

• The Delta has such rich land, but is the poorest region in the nation
• African Americans (a majority NOT all) do not seem interested in education
• Of those African Americans who are educated, some still are not employed and even some show no interest in becoming employed (this is just my opinion)
• Some institutions of higher education in the Delta are suffering BIG TIME! (note to self:  DO SOME RESEARCH ON MOVING CHILD…)
• Finally, what can WE do to help this region?

I plan to revisit the items above to conduct some research studies that may help to shed light and secure funds for programs to support my causes.  Want to help?  Tootles!
