I woke up with the realization that teaching in a classroom is just the beginning.. the first stop.. that there’s more to my story.. … Continue reading Not a review but…

Long term friendships
I’m learning that old friends often become complacent friends... start thinking they deserve all of your time and attention versus valuing you as a human being. The thing about becoming complacent, especially within friendships is that there is no effort. Even in long term relationships.. friendships... there still has to be that I still give … Continue reading Long term friendships
I’ve been trying to figure out the type of woman I want to be
I want to make mistakes, and learn from them. I want to grow. .. closer to God. So close that I don't have to reach out because I can feel him inside of me. I've battled with who I want to be. I've tried things some made me feel like I was falling short of … Continue reading I’ve been trying to figure out the type of woman I want to be
Be a lady
In my 25th year around the sun I pray to become spiritually connected with God with myself. I pay to relieve myself of societal pressures and strip myself of insecurities, for they hold me back from my potential. I pray my value exceeds my potentiality. I pray for the strength I will need to navigate … Continue reading Be a lady

If I'm right back where I started, have I gotten anywhere? Or is everything I've ever wanted or maybe deep down needed …right where my journey began? There is great irony in moving home jobless, slightly hopeless only for the unknowing position of your dreams to find you. I believe blessings come in abundance, they … Continue reading 360

I think my sister is me if I ever learned how to voice myself. Voice my lack of desire or discontent. Everything … Continue reading I am not my sister’s keeper
preparation
I think where I went wrong was not making goals. Like flat out goals. I’ve always had thoughts of where I’d want to be but I’ve never demanded anything out of myself. Never said: This is where you will be and this is how you will get there. I think I never wanted to … Continue reading preparation
The patience of Job
Based on my previous post, anyone can see where my mind is during this time of year. I realize these are secular thoughts. Its so easy to forget the purpose/ reason of Christmas. "The vanity of our human striving." Last week my pastor said, "Be careful not to keep yourself too preoccupied with drinking … Continue reading The patience of Job
Directing paths
Feel free to call me over analytical or dramatic but today I got off of work early (9:30 am). My grandfather frequently makes digs, saying since I make so much money (I beg to differ) I should take him out for breakfast sometime. However, this morning I was a bit hungover and sleep deprived … Continue reading Directing paths
