About Me

My photo
I am a native of New Orleans but currently live in the DC metro area. The things that I enjoy the most in life are photography, lending a helping a hand to those around me, traveling, cooking, and the taste of great wines. I believe that life should be lived out loud and that the greatest tradjedy is to not live your life to the absolute fullest and that you should do so without fear of failure to just simply try.

The Power of determination

We all remember the Obama Chant "Yes We Can!" It was motivating, inspiring and filled us with hope. It served as the wind beneath the wings of many Americans who desperately needed change, a breath of fresh air, or the opportunity to pick themselves up out of their holes of despair to rise to a level of great success recognizing that we can all be on one accord and can accomplish great things. History was made on November 4, 2008 based on the determination of a nation. There is so much power in never giving up. If President Obama had listened to the media or people who could not see past their limited circumstances, he would not have been successful in his journey to become the next and the first African-American President. He was determined to bring about change and we as Americans were determined to support him.


Anything worth having is worth fighting for. Sure it is easy to to give up when times get tough, but I encourage you to never settle for less than your heart's desire. "You must be persistent in your disciplines and habits; perseverant in the face of adversity, hardship and challenge; and determined to achieve your dreams, no matter what" (Jack Canfield).


With the Power of Determination.....Yes You Can!


Peace & Love,

Rae
