:: In Memorium::


:: As the evening closes, let's take a moment to remember all of the lives lost and families destroyed on this day nine years ago, including the 44 victims aboard United Airlines flight 93 that found its final resting place in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Let's put politics aside and honor the amazing courage exhibited by the victims and emergency response team with all of the sensitivity and humanity that is due. It is only by God's grace that we live and breathe! ::

September 11, 2010: 10th Annual Laura Sims Skate House Health Fair


















My dreams of becoming an Olympic Skater were reborn!!



My new friend and I, Ms. Capers!


Siblings, Mr. and Ms. Sims (of the Laura Sims Skate Rink)




City Council representative, Jim Roebuk

The Laura Sims Skate House in West Philadelphia served as the venue for the Health and Safety Community Fair. Community members were treated to health screenings, information exhibits, healthy snacks, chair massages (if only I had the time to indulge), nutritious food demonstrations, give-aways and inspirational words as they perused the floor of the roller rink.

The Sims rink has a rich history in the West Philadelphia community, providing family friendly entertainment, instructional courses and excercise to young and old alike! As a part of my "Meet and Greet" session I had an opportunity to address the audience with the two areas I find most pressing education and health care. I had a beautiful experience with the Skate House family and I look forward to starting my Winter olympics training on the ice rink this winter ;)

As you all know EDUCATION and STRIVING for EXCELLENCE have and will always be core components of my life's platform. As such I find it necessary to not only teach but to be an example of all of the opportunities that await those who are not afraid to work hard and exude love. As I said previously--this is only the beginning-- and I look forward to all that God has for me!!
