Driving south on Woodward today, I used the new 8 mile bridge.
Now let me say, I've never been a fan of the 8 mile bridge. I've always thought of it as a separator more than a connector-if you catch me.
The bridge was recently redone and I admit, I was wrong.
It's beautiful.
It's clean-still more than 2 months into the re-do.
It's elegant with cool retro lighting and vintage looking black and white photos of olds cars in traffic.
It not only connects Detroiters to eachother-it connects us to our history (and HER-story! )
When your arch over the apex-the skyline of Detroit is revealed.
Wow.
And people golfing at Palmer Park.
And a lady getting a donut from a mom and pop shop that's ancient.
And a vegitarian cafe/healing center.
This is a beautiful town.
Peace,
Shannyn

My grandpa is a very wise and faithful man. He says when things are tough on you, it's best to pray for someone else.
So...
God, come and comfort those who lost loved ones on 9.11.
Bring them peace. Stand beside them and fill the empty spots left behind.
Heal our nation, Lord.
Guide our president and all leaders.
May your deep peace prevail on earth.
Thank you in advance for your miracles.
Amen.

The children that went back to school are having their very first official weekend of the school year.
Thus they are learning the balance of hard work and relaxation.
What better place to dance that line than right here at home in...

There are some many great things going on in Detroit this weekend that I'm tempted to just give it all up now--
but I, instead, will keep you waiting a day or two. Oh sweet suspense!
Instead, Detroiter, do this.
Visualize yourself happy. Visualize your smile, your teeth, your laugh lines. Doesn't it feel good.
Visualize your job-that you love-that you already have-that pays you well.
Your house payment is made-easily. Look-now your smiling again.
Your kids are safe. They're smiling, too.
It's a beautiful day in "D" neighborhood.
Peace!

Okay Detroit.
We do not have to believe our so called "bad press". What do they say? "There's no such thing as bad press"
Here's a couple of things I saw yesterday that should fill you with hope for the mighty "D".
First-There's a HUGE job fair at Macomb Cultural Center today (Hall Rd. in Clinton Twsp.) A new mall is opening and they need absolutly everyone to work in it. Hundred of jobs of every nature are available-everything from retail to restaurant to security. It's from 9a-2p TODAY so dress smart, grab a ton of resumes and GO GET 'EM TIGER!
Second-Our city is cool enough to have no just ONE cultural center-oh no! If you Google "Cultural Centers Metro Detroit" You get over two pages of indepent hits.
So-Who's the hipster now? Detroit is-that's who.
Peace!

Last night, doing dishes, it occured to me that we in Detroit may be buying our own press.
That is to say, we are becomming a self-fofilling "train is crashing", "sky is falling" profecy.
Every seen/read "The Secret"? What we think about, we bring about.
So....Detroit...
We are employed-
We are insured-
We are making our house payments on time-
We are safe-
We a secure-
and...
(myspace blogs can be spell-checked!)
THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT! YOU ARE FROM THE "D"! YOU CAN MAKE ANYTHING HAPPEN!
Believe it.
