No Love to Love

I don't love you.

Even though I don't love...
You
stole my heart.

The electricity and fluttery butterflies
they made me shake...stiffly

You only fooled me...
Lying and smiling all the same, but I am okay....I smile on.

So what If I don't laugh, and really you don't care?
So what if I no longer cry, and you stare...
Hopefully...

Until then enjoy the latest distraction
the Main attraction...

I will...

Things Fall Apart: Dreams

What is a dream? How does one achieve a dream? When dreams are denied where do they go? When dreams are achieved, does dreaming stop? To live out a dream is most rewarding, but it is not without its hardships. Really, hardships make dreams worth having and fighting for. The fight remains even after one is within their dream - living. It gets tougher, especially when you are doing right. William Butler Yeats said "Things fall apart - the centre cannot hold". My center holds. I know this because I have lived in an ongoing gyre , and I am here to tell it. My story. My fight - my struggle has been victorious because it hasn't been me alone. I have Help. God. Over the last several weeks, lies have been told, and things have been done that has made me ultimately question my dreams. It seems as though I have been set up to fail, but I feel and believe I am not. The situation itself is tough, and I have entered into a failing environment. I AM NOT A FAILURE. Prior to these thing...

Healthy or Nah? Cinnamon Sweet Potato Chips

In trying to eat and train healthy, I've been on the search for healthy recipes for all meals, including snacks. Now, I'm not a sweet potato eater, but I figured I needed to try something new, so I bought some. I decided to slice them and roast them in the oven - something like sweet potato chips. It didn't take long to do and it wasn't messy (easy clean up). (I know by this point you really want to try this delicious snack, which is under 150 calories!) WHAT YOU NEED: sweet potatoes, PAM cooking spray, cinnamon, brown sugar Now you can peel the potatoes if you want (I did), but it's not necessary, just wash them off really well. Slice each potato as thin as you like, almost like chips. You'll need to spray a cookie sheet and arrange the chips in an even layer. Once you do that, just spray the chips across the top and place them in your 375° preheated oven. It only takes about 7 minutes per side. (Yes, flip'em!) The final steps are to sprinkle t...

eSPECIALLY: For those who don't

Image
The other day I was having a conversation about our children - no surprise there - with a close acquaintance, and the topic was focused specifically on our sons. Over the last two years, we've gotten to know each other well and shared quite a bit with each other especially since we work together in the same space. Our children congregate in our classroom straight off of their respective buses daily. If we're teaching, it could become rather chaotic quickly, but we've managed to keep it to a low hum with the help of snacks and alternative entertainment as we finish up for the day. If we're not teaching, which is only on our planning days, then it's usually a lot less noisy and we can be more attentive and in tune with our children. Beyond the most noticable and obvious similarities, such as our Florida connection, being members of sororities, marriage + 2 kids, and being fabulously young, black, and educated, we each have a child with special needs. While...
