Random Thoughts: August 2011
http://mexichica-randomthoughts.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 24, 2011. So, I'm stumped! I cannot figure out why my 12 year old daughter is so opposed to our family purchasing nice items or acquiring things she perceives as too costly. She had an adverse reaction recently when I just went 'window shopping' for a Coach handbag. Mind you, I have 'one' already. I have a total of three handbags. Only one is a Coach! The other two are not expensive. The other night the family went to price a new watch for dad. We spotted a really nice one - a Bulova.

Random Thoughts: November 2011

Monday, November 7, 2011. The Gift Of Giving. Someone asked me recently, "How do you do it? Where do you find the time to give so much of yourself? 160;I laughed and responded, "I'm not sure that I give enough! In truth, I always feel like I don't have enough time and that there is more I would like to do. If anything, I wish I had more time! There is very little in life that upsets me! I started the practice of giving, really giving, many years ago. Isn't that the goal? To put others first? Subscribe to...

Random Thoughts: February 2011
http://mexichica-randomthoughts.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 20, 2011. The dictionary defines commitment as a pledge or undertaking. For me it is both and so much more. Our production company is embarking on our third movie project which goes into production this summer, June 13th to be exact. This morning in our daily meeting, my husband (who is a producer and director on the project with me), asked me, "Dianna, are you fully committed to this project? And immediately, I knew where he was going with his questioning. In all honesty, I AM ready!

Random Thoughts: Mindful Holiness
http://mexichica-randomthoughts.blogspot.com/2011/01/mindful-holiness.html
Saturday, January 29, 2011. Right before the beginning of the new year, I went on a personal sabbatical. I didn't really go anywhere in particular. I merely set myself apart from mindless activity such as watching TV and made a conscious effort to remain mindful and focus on holiness. And not only focus on it but to find a way to put holiness into action. In essence it is what Buddhist refer to as Right Concentration, Right Mindfulness, Right Effort, and Right Action. But, the single greatest benefit fro...

Random Thoughts: October 2011
http://mexichica-randomthoughts.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 20, 2011. So the day started off with me realizing that I made a huge mistake last night before going to bed. I threw an empty bag of sugar into the trash can underneath the kitchen sink. We woke up to the largest sugar ant infestation I have ever seen! Well, my husband, being the manly man that he is, saw this as an all get out battle cry! Now mind you, this was about 5:45 am in the morning when we discovered our kitchen had been invaded by this army of black ants! By this time he had ...

No More Race: December 2009

Monday, December 7, 2009. A New World Indeed. Wow I just noticed how long it's been since I last posted on here. My apologies to my two readers. :-) Life's been crazy. I hope all is well with you. I came across an interesting piece you may or may not have seen on Yahoo. Check it out, it is about the rise of "bi-racial" Americans and how important the 2010 Census will be for documenting just how much our society has become more Mixed. Worth the read.

No More Race: October 2009

Thursday, October 15, 2009. Interracial Couple" Denied Marriage License in Louisiana. This story really speaks for itself. No comment necessary. This from the Associated Press as I saw it on Yahoo News. And yes this just happened, in 2009. Bardwell said he asks everyone who calls about marriage if they are a mixed race couple. If they are, he does not marry them, he said. Bardwell said he has discussed the topic with blacks and whites, along with witnessing some interracial marriages. He came to the ...

No More Race: A Bright Future
http://nomorerace.blogspot.com/2009/10/bright-future.html
Wednesday, October 7, 2009. I'm just thinking how the saying goes that sometimes things have to get bad before they get worse. On race relations right now I am hoping all this tension in the country over Obama and all, is just a sign that a new dawn is coming. And you know what, deep down I really do believe this is what is going to happen. As Jesse Jackson would say (can't believe I'm quoting Jesse) "Keep hope alive.". October 7, 2009 at 12:15 PM. Well said my friend. October 9, 2009 at 7:29 PM.
