So tonight was the 2nd Annual Black Girls Rock Award Ceremony on BET. It was amazing! They honored Taraji P. Henson, Pastor Shirley Caesar, Tatyana Ali, Angela Davis, and many more. Regina King and Tracy Ellis Ross did a wonderful job of hosting the show. On another note...Man Regina look like she be in the gym like 7 days a week! All those muscles were just bulging out, OMG!!! However, her and Tracy definitely rocked it! Here are some of the performers: Erykah Badu, Melanie Fiona (loved her shoes!!), Estelle, Jill Scott (loved the outfit!!), Mary Mary (that blue dress was too much for a Gospel singer, or am I the only one who thought it was a bit over the top or too revealing?), and Mrs. Isaacs a.k.a. the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul and R&B a.k.a.

Today I received an e-mail and thought I'd share with you all. If you are truly a believer, then you will love this song and fully understand the importance of not excluding God from everything.

When's the last time you had an argument or disagreement with someone? Do you recall what sparked it? Do you find yourself dwelling on what he or she said that made you so mad and caused you to storm out of the room or simply "run away" from the altercation? Isn't it ironic how at times we can have a disagreement with someone at one moment and everything is all good the next? Well, I'd like to believe that the reason behind it is Effective Communication.
