One Decade Down

Despite some bumpy moments along the way, 2009 was a very good year for me and family. We are grateful to God for seeing us through 2009 and the entire decade in fact.

Remember? Ten years ago, we were dealing with Y2K anxiety. What if…What if…What if…

We survived. Nothing changed. Then again, the world has changed a lot in the last 10 years. I’m grateful to be a writer. Writing keeps me immersed in the world and conscious of my surroundings.

I am thankful for all of my blog readers. You helped make me a better writer, a more nimble thinker, and just a downright more interesting person to be around.

Looking forward — with God’s Help–to All that The New Year (and the new decade) Will Bring! Stay tuned.

Happy New Year, Renita! Yes, it is amazing that it seems like yesterday that we were ushering in a new millennium. And Yes, we DID survive :>)

Your blog made my 2009 year more enjoyable! I am always interested in your topics and the other bloggers thoughts! Thank you for helping us to become more conscious of the world we’re living in and to think more critically about it. Many blessings to you in this new year!

You are so right. In spite of the bumps and bruises to be still standing on the side of a new decade is indeed a blessing.

Leave Your Two Cents

Rev. Dr. Renita J. Weems

When I'm not writing I'm thinking about writing, which is itself a form of writing.

This blog is absolutely the sole opinion of one thinking woman of faith.
The blog in no way reflects the opinion of all blacks nor all women. It's a blog for what I like to call Thinking Women of Faith on matters of church, race, gender, sex, aging, values, culture, justice, spirituality, and, oh yeah, God. I also blog about random things that make me happy.
And, oh yeah, this blog will not post anonymous comments.
