My Thoughts: It’s truly amazing how a day can change a person's life. For an example, I had no idea that I would have a team that are morphing my life. In fact, poetry and this organization has completely changed me. Yes, it has its moments at times, and I do want to give up because it’s very difficult. My team pushed me through that and let me know that PPP (Pretty Petty Poetry) is important to them. But, I’m not stopping PPP because I love it and I need it.
My Spiritual Thoughts: None
The News: I’ve got really disappointing news. I had to fired James. The reasons are on the “Introduction Page”. I was depressed because he and I were closed.
More bad news: We lost 2 more teammates, Zebulynn and Ojo. Ojo was late on his assignments, and Zebulynn was very rude to me.
New Members: We have two new members: Muhammad Azram & Mayor Jake. Jake will be doing the “Poem of The Month” and Muhammad will be doing a "Site Weekly Poem". Welcomed Muhammad Azram & Mayor Jake to our crazy team.
A Huge Change: On Facebook and on the site, I mentioned there’s a huge change will be happening. Well, the change had happened on September 15, 2018. Because of James, I need a good partner and a friend that I trust. I prayed about who. That person is a month old in PPP, but, I feel very good about him. Pets, let’s welcome Daniel Oyedokun aka Pen-Daniel to the sit of Co-CEO. I know he will be good. He has already help me. He changed his name to DC Poet.
Walking, WHA: On Friday, September 14th, I took my steps, again. I told you about Stacie Weber, and how she’s helping me. Well, I told her that I wanted to walk again. She was hesitated because of my hips. I showed her my video on me walking with Doug Shepherd, my former PT (Physical Therapist). She saw that I can. So, she got me out of my chair, and I walked. I don't know how many steps. I think 10 steps. I need to start slow. Oh yeah, I can a lift a 5lbs weight in my right hand, and a 2lbs weight in my left hand. Stacie listened, just like Doug did.
Communication Specialist: In the LDS Church, we get Callings; they are volunteer Callings. We don't get pay, but, we do get Blessings. Brother Cahill, a member of the Bishopric, Called me to be a Communication Specialist of the Egan Crest Ward. What I do is the Sacrament Bulletin, announced the events, and get a Spiritual Dissection on the Ward’s Facebook Page. I know and realize this will be difficult. But, I know Christ will help me.
HOT ROD IS BACK: I’m playing baseball again. There’s a great organization where all ages of handicapped people can play baseball, The Miracle League. I’m so excited because Hot Rod is back! Hot Rod is my nickname on the field.

Want help: If you want to help with “Pretty Petty Poetry”, you can! We are looking for some volunteers to help with the desktop wallpapers and getting us clients. We can’t do everything by ourselves anymore, too stressful.
For New Comers: This is AMANDA’S idea to do this business. Everything you see is her alone with the help from God. This is a part of “Pretty Petty Poetry”. She has been studying English with the help from a professor, Nancy Lowe, from Weber State University, Utah, USA since October of 2011.]
