Greetings All,
I thought it would be great to share a photo that expresses the fabulous Spring energy in Washington, DC. What do you think?
What are some of your favorite Spring images?
Enjoy your day!
Peace, Creativity, Compassion, and Gratitude for Springtime and the Obamas,
Did you watch Barack Obama TV last night? If not, visit The Saavy Sista, one of my favorite blogs that gives me sista news, to watch the entire video: http://www.the-savvy-sista.com/2010/01/state-of-union-2010-full-video.html. You can also watch it on the White House’s YouTube channel a/k/a “Barack Obama TV” below.
I call President Obama’s television appearances “Barack Obama TV.” He takes over my entire being when he speaks. I am truly an Obama-ite! I watched the SOTU online via CNN.com and Facebook. Below are some of my thoughts captured during my Facebook viewing experience. Don’t you just love the Internet!
What did you think of our President’s State of the Union (SOTU) address for 2010?
Enjoy your day!
Peace, Joy, Gratitude, Compassion, and Hope that America will be restored with healthcare, education, jobs, and financial reform,
Ananda

Just saying no to everything is not leadership. Serving citizens not our ambitions. WOW President Obama.

I like what he said that he is trying to change the tone of politics. This is a deep change.

President Obama’s Administration is the first time I have followed American politics on a daily basis. He and his team made me step up my game. Social media like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube really help me stay on track.

Remind them President Obama about what you inherited. Keep it all in perspective folks. I loved how he just paused and gave the look of a brotha about to read folks.

I enjoyed reading about how President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama have launched the White House campaign to bring greater diversity to its art collection—including more works by African American artists. I agree with Conwill’s assessment that the Obamas’ efforts are having “a catalytic effect—stirring conversation, raising expectations. And that’s a good thing. The move is also throwing a strong light on African American art and the artists who create it.” Several of the artists that Conwill mentions such as Kara Walker, Betye Saar, and Lorna Simpson are featured in my novel, Love’s Troubadours – Karma: Book One (www.lovestroubadours.com). I have included a blurb about the artwork in my novel below. Enjoy!
Who are some of your favorite African American artists?
Enjoy your weekend!
Peace and Creativity,
Ananda
