Hello Asklatisha blog readers, happy New Year to you all, it’s been a long time I know. Did you miss me? I know I missed you. How has your New Year been so far? For me, so far so good, but I can’t say the same for last year.

Last year was the worst year I’ve ever experienced in my life. It was a testing time, a challenging time, a season of confusion and despair; I faced many trials and lost a special treasure.

In 2011, around the month of March, I learned I was pregnant; in the month of July, I learned it was a boy. That same month I also learned he was unable to pass urine, and this could cause serious problems in his development. I was given the option to terminate pregnancy, but chose not to do so.

I couldn’t do that because I’d already felt my son moving inside of me and seen his beautiful frame in the ultra sound, my love for and bond with him already existed. Terminating pregnancy, to me, would have been murder. Read the rest of this entry »

Politics and Law, I often stay out of them. I watch the news now and then and learn a little about issues that are connected to these two  subjects. When it came to the election of President Barack Obama, I paid attention and the Trial of mom Casey Anthony caught my attention, it fascinated me, it left me with big unanswered questions, and the biggest of all is; what really happened to that beautiful little girl (Caylee Anthony)?

Casey Anthony Not Guilty of Murder, I can’t believe it’s not butter.

After nearly six weeks of testimony, a panel of seven women and five men decided that Ms. Anthony did not murder Caylee by dosing her with Chloroform, suffocating her with duct tape and dumping her in a wooded area, as prosecutors claimed. They did, however, find her guilty of lesser charges, of providing false information to law enforcement officers.

I have been following this case from the very start. From the time little Caylee went missing to the moment they found Casey Anthony NOT GUILTY. Sure the Prosecution’s case was greatly circumstantial. But what else could have happened to this little Caylee if her mom did not kill her. Who killed her? Will we ever know the truth?

This is our judicial system at work.

Can you believe it? Have you been following this story? Do you agree with the verdict? Share your thoughts.

Now, I’m not writing this article from a judgmental stand point, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Matthew 7:1-2 NIV, but more out of wonder and curiosity.  Read the rest of this entry »

I’m feeling feelings today. Yup, I’m one of those people. Sometimes I consider it a blessing to feel things the way I feel them, because everything is heightened. My excitement and joy feels wonderful. Then other times it’s a curse, my sadness and despair is unbearable.  Read the rest of this entry »

Off the bat, I’ll admit that I knew I was wrong, but that didn’t stop me from being angry. Read the rest of this entry »

I made a mistake a long time ago and let the devil know my weakness. Now I walk around everyday with him whispering my can’ts, what-ifs, and I’m nots to me all day. Read the rest of this entry »

I was having a conversation via Skype with my mom a few nights ago. She seemed so sad and discouraged; and rightly so, I guess. She is going through a lot in her life right now and unfortunately her faith that it’ll all turn out okay is not as strong as it should be.

Keeping the faith in these difficult times in our lives is not as easy to do as it is to say. Yes, we believe in God and that his son died to save us. However, as human beings it is in our nature to desire the warmth of human touch, the love of friendship and the security that you are loved and appreciated wholly by your peers, and that they care about your well-being.

Celebrities are everywhere, in print-media; tv; radio; mobile-phones; internet and whatever other forms of mass communication devices that exist, that I may not know about.

I too, find myself interested and sometimes fascinating by the latest in entertainment news; not that interested in celebrity gossip though, especially the kind that highlights their bad behavior.

I empathize with celebrities; yes they are very rich and spoilt. However, that life can’t be an easy one, especially for those who started in this industry very young. Growing up in front of the camera, paparazzi following you everywhere you go; digging into your daily lives, dissecting your every move. What are you wearing, where are you going, what  are you eating, who are you dating, how much you weigh, etc. Read the rest of this entry »
