a letter from hubby to the man who wears Red White and Blue

Dear Uncle Sam,

Our global family today has a lot of issues. From rivalries as old as Abel and Cain, our global family does not always see eye to eye. Today we face a reality where all the old patriarchs have passed away and the family is looking toward you Uncle Sam to be the new patriarch and problem solver. Much of the family has been asking about you. You were always the most reasonable and innovative member of the family. You always had such great advice even when your own side of the family didn’t listen to you. We sure could use some of your wise words now dear Uncle.
The family is hopeful that you will soon stand up and lead justly once again. We worry that if you stall your return much longer that crazy Uncle Karl will take charge, and you know how Uncle Karl is. Although at first his advice seems very favorable and affable, you soon realize he is never going to leave you alone. No matter how well you might be doing on your own, Uncle Karl always insists on making everyone do everything his way. As you can see Uncle, our family issues are as hopeless as ever, we need your proven solutions and your timeless advice. So please Uncle Sam, do not delay wherever you are, please stand up.
Sincerely, Humanity
PS - In 1776 the United States Declaration of Independence established a “city upon a hill” societal vision before all nations. It is a document that proclaims a revolutionary new relationship between the nature of man and good government. Stating how a civil authority will be held accountable to respect the Self-evident Truths embedded upon the human soul by their Creator.
Dear World,
The American Experiment is not the problem, it is not perfect, but its a Solution.
Thank you and God Bless.
Sincerely,
JJB, a concerned member of the human family

I am sitting at my home here in Ohio telling you about my life today. My world is a big one, I was born as I was raised in thetropics of the Philippines butnow face the daily weather change of the midwest U.S. I am a woman of many words, speaking both major Filipino dialects(Tagalog and Bisaya) along withimpeccable english and a hint of Japanese,Maybe tomorrow I will learn some Russian, Arabic, or Swahili.No not really, I am actually a wellgrounded humble Christian woman who loves to live my faith following Christ.I thank Him alone, my Creator,for all my talentsincluding my linguisticsskills. I am very much a happily married woman, and for the most part I delight in my new life here in America along with myhandsome young husbandI have dabbled in the personal blogosphere in the past, but now I am extremely excited to make a daily home on this blog ofmine. I want to puta little bit of everything here, my thoughts, my experiences, and maybe even some great advice about being a Filipina-American, and what life is like for mefacing this American experience which is sooo far from my home.However, Ohio is truly my second home, I realize somethingnew everyday.My first day inAmerica I realized what it feels like to start to freeze. When I stepped off that international flight in Detroit in early February it wasco0-ld yet Iloved it, I love the adventure my life has become. Marriage too is quite the adventure. I am a tender spirit yet at the same time I am asurvivor, my name isMichelle Brooks and this is my blog.
