Happy New Year and welcome to 2008 the year of New Beginnings. 2007 by far was one of the most challenging years I could imagine. I was stretched so many ways often times I didn't know if I was coming or going. Yet through it all, I survived cause He never gave me more then I cold bare and thanks to His grace I am standing here today giving Him unlimited praise.

I am so excited about 2008. It is truly a year of so many great possibilibities. I am beleiving God for so many things and look forward to sharing each and every one of them with you as they come to pass.

Starting this month I invite you to look for my weekly column celebrating Brooklyn in Harlem News, a free weekly distributed paper published by Harlem News Group. The column will focus on events and activities happening in Brooklyn and ocassionally highlight people who are making a difference in our beloved burough. If you have any events, activities, affairs or people you would like to see mentioned and/or featured in the column, do not hesitate to send me the information.

Again, I wish each and every last one of you a blessed and prosperous New Year
