March of Dimes

Today was the March of Dimes "March for Babies" in the Houston area (previously known as Walkamerica). The walk raises money to help the March of Dimes improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.

Unfortunately I did not participate in the walk today but all month long I have supported the organization through various initiatives at my job including helping my department construct three themed baskets that we raffled off.

It is such a worthy cause and one close to my heart because I was a premature baby. Please contact the March of Dimes and make a donation today!

Reminders

My son is asleep and the fever is gone. He had to get a shot, which he absolutely hates but he sucked it up and cried for a full two minutes. I pray this is over.

This entry will be short and sweet. It's a shameless plug for a book I authored with my husband. It's a book of reminders to our son on his journey to manhood. It's in the same vein as Life's Little Instruction Book but has special instructions for a young black man as he navigates this world.

I have the hardcover version, which is really nice, it's only 85 pages so it's thin but it has a dust jacket cover and will cost you $20. However the paperback pocket book is only $7 it's a bit longer and thicker than the little zodiac books at the grocery store.

I think you'll enjoy it and perhaps find a gem or two to share with your child (or friend or spouse or co-worker, some of the reminders can apply to anyone!). Get your copy here.
