My Thoughts: Last month changed me, and I felt not worthy of these changes. I won’t tell you what they are because they are personal. But what I can tell you that I’m not the same. I’m blessed but I think blessed, is an understatement, in my book. Some are changes are good and joyful, and some of them are hurtful. But in the end, I learned tons. But I always trusted in Christ, for He knows me. He knows what I need. I cannot imagine my life without Him. This month (December) is a prefect time to remember His Humble Birth.

My Spiritual Thoughts:

I, personally, want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and please do not forget the real meaning of the Season.

The News:

Bad News: Nigelartist got fired because he was very disrespectful to me, and I don’t want that on my team, at all. Plus, he swore at me too. If you know me, I don’t want swearing (from anyone) in my life. Amanda Garcia silently quit.

Good News: Ojo Seun & Mike are back on the team. Welcome back guys!

Yoruba: Yoruba is an Africa, beautiful, language. 70% of my team is from Africa. One of the members, Michael O, is teaching me Yoruba. This language, I WILL learn very well. Mo Feran Ewi Ti O Rewa, that means I love Pretty Petty Poetry. Michael O, thank you for teaching me.

Your Thoughts: none

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.
