"I thought my soul would rise and fly..."

Its official...

...Miss Danie (Lyss) has a blog! I thought that it was time to create my own blog. As an inspiring journalist, I feel this is a great start! All of this will be my opinions on topics, randomness, and whatever comes to mind. Isn't that what a blog is all about? Yeahh, I'm excited to have a blog again (again referencing xanga..remember that?) As of now, the layout and everything is under construction..and for those of you who have taken the time to read this I'd like to warn you that the majority of these blogs *will* reference DANITY KANE.

Yes, I love those girls! Even though they are disbanded at the moment, one can hope for a reunion in the future right? But for now, I'm gonna continue to support each one in whatever they decide to do...

So I bet your wondering...

Why Rise & Fly?

The name itself comes from a book I read when I was younger called"I Thought My Soul Would Rise & Fly: The Diary of Patsy, a Freed Girl" By Joyce Hansen. This is one of many books that inspired me to become more acquanited with my history as an African American. I plan to use this interest and incorporate it with my journalism to make our community more aware of our history. We all have so much potential and nothing is impossible. I try to tell my younger cousins that they can make it to college if they really want to because there are people willing to help you in whatever situation you may be in.

Well, I think it's time to get this blog looking the way that I want! Blessings to everyone!

XOXO,

Danie
