I will speak my thoughts as often as I am thinking of something to say. I will be open and honest about some of the elements of my life. I hope to inspire and provoke conversation.

Guilty of Anger Part 2
I love it when this happens! As Oprah would say, an Aha' moment! The moment when every thought is so clear. The moment when you find understanding. The exact moment you feel the growth of your spirit. I love this moment! I was sitting at my desk reading and listening to the comments about the Casey Anthony verdict. I realized that my anger had been misplaced. I was angry because I believed and still do that Casey Anthony had something to do with the death of her child. That she had made a decision to live her life while her daughter's life was ending. My anger was at Casey but as I said that anger was misplaced. I'm focused now. My anger is aligned with the heinous act of the crime instead of the person who may be behind the crime. I'm angry that no one cared enough for Caylee to want to know where she was every minute of everyday. I'm angry that a little girl was found alone, dead in a swamp. I'm angry that her mother is now celebrating the fact that she found innocent of a crime committed against her own child. Celebrating, are you serious!!!! Celebrating your "innocence" while your child, your flesh and blood, your gift from God, is dead. I'm angry because I understand that defense attorneys are paid to defend their client but they should not rejoice is this tragic death. A 2-year old child is dead and you decide that it's okay and to cheer about it. That is not only heartless but it is careless. I understand that you are happy that you won the case but you are losing the point. A child, who had no real understanding of what life is, can no longer hug her mother. She can no longer smile and laugh. This is not a time to celebrate. You should have dropped to your knees and prayed for forgiveness. You should have showed a little humility. You should have thanked God that you will be able to read your children a bedtime story. You will be able to watch them eat their breakfast. Instead you celebrate the death of another child. Yes, I'm angry!! I'm angry because the only real emotion Casey Anthony showed was when she heard the words NOT GUILTY. Let me say this...she is guilty of being selfish in the worst way. I'm not angry because 12 jurors decided to give her freedom. I'm truly angry because a child is dead. So my Aha' moment was that for every death, there will be anger. For me, I don't every want to just glance at the picture, I want to make sure I focus on the bigger picture.
