Sometimes life is hard---- tonight I'm thinking of my friend & her family, wishing so much that I could help somehow, and finding it hard to know what to say or do--- so I'll do what I do when I have nothing else to give. I'll pray.

Emily the "little Russian girl"

Untitled poem by Me 11/10/10

I’d rather my heart be in the right place
Even if people seem to think I’m idealistic
In the mirror I see my face
I breathe, comfortable in who I am.

I don’t lie but I have secrets
I don’t cheat but I’m not perfect
I’m not still but I’ve accomplish no great feats
Atleast that are great in others eyes

For me….there is but one truth
I try to be the best me
without criticizing you,
Sometimes I fail- my words get angry.

My passion is too strong
my mouth gets moving before my thoughts can intercede.
I wish others could see their wrong
That they could learn from their mistakes.

That their wants aren’t the most important
They’re just a small seed in a great big garden.

Emily the Philanthropist....

So this is a letter I've been meaning to share on here. My daughter is the kindest kid.. and as proof here is a letter she wrote to her Grandma. She decided to do this all on her own and I was very proud. :)



Dear Grandma,


I just heard that in a library book I got about cheetahs, very few are left. They are endangered. So I decided to save the cheetahs by making a few posters. I wrote on the posters that people should not have hunted cheetahs for their beautiful fur because they need it to survive and hunting is illegal. The Cheetah Saving donation will begin August 1, 2010 and will end August 8, 2010. In the donation, we plan on going to the Philadelphia Zoo to tell people about the cheetahs being endangered. I love you.




Love, Emily Roach
