Dear DooBee,
Hi cutie pie! You're my favorite god-nephew and I want you to know that your Auntie Charli is so proud of you and she misses you very much. I know it's been a while since we've seen each other but I can't wait to see you again. Glad you're doing well in school, and I wish I could be there so you could beat me butt in video games like old times.
All My Love,
Auntie Charli
A NEW ERA OF LOVE
In two days Gibran and I will begin a very new and big stage in our relationship. As we approach the two-year mark we've decided to take a leap of faith and move in together! He's coming to Cali so we can began to truly share our life together. A lot of people keep asking me if I'm nervous, and you know what? I am not. I know him, I love him, and most importantly, I believe in us. My dad always says you never know whether something is a good or bad decision until you've made it. Until then, you have to hope, believe, and have faith in your own wishes, thoughts, and comforts. I decided a while back that I was going to live for me and only me from that point forward. We're doing exactly what "we" want to do, and the only thing we care about right now, is our absolute happiness. For us, eliminating the 3,000 miles between us is the beginning of a new era. We're thrilled about the new union, and I hope you all can share in this joy with us. In the upcoming months we're going to be picking out a new apartment, adjusting to each other's crazy schedules and learning how to share our lives with the person we love the most. Wish us luck, and as always, I will keep you posted on all the mushy details!
Love,
Charli

GOT WHITE FRIENDS?
I almost choked on my cranberry juice when I read Daily Candy's review of comedian Nick Adam's new book: Making Friends With Black People. Being a black himself, Nick has attempted to advise white folks all over the world on exactly how not to piss a black person off. Sounds like it's gonna be pretty damn funny. I just ordered it on Amazon.com (they've already got great used prices), and I'll post my review when I'm done with it. Click on this post to check out the review that got me interested and ready to buy! Link
