So these past few days have been hectic. I haven't been keeping up with my posts :-(. First trying to finish shopping, which was crazy because I really don't like crowds. But I have to say not too many people was in bad spirits as far as I saw. One of the pipes bursted under the floor in my basement, so we had to get that fixed. Next, my mom wanted to change everything around in the house so before we can put up the christmas tree, which by the way is still not up and Chrsitmas Day is tomorrow, we have been moving furniture. Lol I feel like we about to move out. But good thing is it's coming together nicely :-). Saturday night my family had our annual Christmas dinner and I had a great time. But my body is aching now. We danced to the Michael Jackson Experience (that is a workout whew!!!) but its was fun. Happy Holidays!

Peace: WOTD

Make a commitment and try to stick to it. What you give, will return! Remember never let anyone disturb your peace

Here's a little poem I wrote, hope you like it

Changes among Seasons

Thus many do not understand

showers and wind great boundaries hinder

graces of unsavaged Gang of Swines

And that sounding of these night makers

just grinds, off them wire tagged strands

seeming august swings thru needlessly

in nights west, dark insane and empty

in nights sight, wise luck and vanity

under the zone, Floating to Float

wandering or unlynched, still and sturdy

imaging moons and kites

under glassy glowed zodiac gems

Thus many do not understand

Squirrels digging a hole

leaves falling, shaken old greased

windows. Dogs barking

sirens blasting

vibrations in the air

something has happen

Children yelling and laughing

while trucks is honking and driving

shifting gears, brakes screeching

school bells ringing, here

comes the ice cream truck

singing

wind blowing

water splashing, musical carriages

playing

No more, the winters coming

Cinnamon spices, and

Christmas sprinkles

Fifty Shades of Grey vs Addicted

Yesterday I received the infamous book :-) for a christmas present from my coworker. I can not wait to start reading. It has been the most talked about book since Zane came out with Addicted. I'm excited to see how the story will compare to Zane's erotic writing. I know it's too different authors, but there has been alot talk about the two, and since I have read just about all Zane's Books I'm eager to see how this turns out. Stay tuned!!!

If you haven't read Zane's Addicted please pick up a copy. The story is intriguing. Zoe and Jason tale begins when they were young and later grows older and become married with children. Even though the story centers around Zoe finally confessing her guilt to a therapist who has never dealt with a sex addict, the ending is tragic but relieving. It starts off slow but you won't want to put it down. :-) This book was one of my first five books. Many thought why would a 14 yr old be reading this graphic story, but my mama did not believe in hiding anything from me. I'm glad she didn't, there was a lesson to learn in this story.

10 Days to Christmas Challenge- Day 8

My Top 3 favorite Christmas movies
1. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
2. Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas
3. The Santa Clause w/ Tim Allen

Beauty and the Beast-I'm a sucker for cartoons I love them!!! In this one Belle gets the beast to start loving Christmas again. Long ago when the spell was placed upon him and his castle he forbid Christmas from ever being celebrated. Great ending! All three are good family movies to get together and laugh!

9 day christmas challenge

So I decided to link up and do this challenge with Chantell www.pynkkrush.blogspot.com and Kelly www.beautyobsessed2.blogspot.com My earliest christmas memory was the night before christmas. Iwas so intent on seeing what Santa Claus looked like in reality I stayed up all night. Around 4am when I sat at the top of my stairs and saw my mom and sister moving gifts from the back room to the living room to put under the tree, I finally knew Santa did not exist in that moment. I was shocked but I wasn't as heartbroken as i I thought I would be because somewhere in my heart I felt it. I mean hey we didn't have a chimney, so where was Santa coming in the house at LOL!!! So hours later when I came down and opened my gifts and saw the milk and cookies gone I just smiled and gave my mom a kiss. Please feel free to share your memory!

Peace: WOD

Word of the Day

Be joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you ~ 2 Cor. 13:11



enjoy your days. build upon teamwork, and if anybody try to bring you down just smile.

I am in Nursing school and believe me this program is very trying to the peace of mind. But one thing I keep telling myself was what my professor told me and my fellow classmates "when you wake up in the morning and the your feet hit the floor Thank God and move because the rest is just fluff"

December of Peace

"God Blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God" (Matt 5:9)
Cultivating peaceable relationships and attitudes is rewarded by God

As Iylana Vanzant would say stay in "Peace, not in Pieces"

Peaceful spirit is my everyday goal. When I wake up I thank God for waking up and ask him for a peaceful day and when I lay down I ask Him for a peaceful sleep. Because with a peaceful day brings a happy day. 

Everyday I will try to give a quote on holding onto your peace.

A short story

Since I love to write stories and poems I decided to one day take a creative writing class. I don't know what i was thinking, to say I was nervous beyond belief is an understatement. I have stage fright. I don't like to talk in front of classmates, and when I write I don't want no one to read it. So coming out of my shell I'm starting to this blogging and hopefully I get better at it. And during this time I want to share my passion: writing. In class our first assignment was to create a story around a person, place, and song.
Enjoy!!!

            The most memorable time I remember was when I heard “What do the lonely do at Christmas” by The Emotions, I was eating Christmas dinner with my family at my Aunt Camille house located off a road in the suburbs surrounded by trees with the brush of white flurry snowflakes, when my Aunt’s sister announced she was pregnant. For the first time in my life I saw time stand still as we all looked at each other shocked beyond words.

            “You can’t have a baby,” my cousin Jason said breaking the silence.

            “And why not?” My Aunt Demi questioned turning towards him.

            “Because you’re too old to be having a baby,” he said.

            “Excuse me, I beg your pardon,” Aunt Demi said.

            “Well, Demi you are 43 years old, he’s only stating the fact that I’m sure is on all of our minds,” Aunt Camille said calmly.

            Very slowly my aunt Demi rose from the oak cherry red round table filled with all types of food anyone could imagine and turned to the big bay window. I watched as she let out a slow breathe and let her head fall forward on the window. Her shoulders didn’t sit as high as they were before she broke the news to us, now they slouched down with sadness radiating from her body. Her image reflected in the window as a mirror, and as our eyes connected my heart skipped a beat, I watched as tears fell slowly from her eyes like the snow falling lightly from the sky as the beat of what do the lonely do at Christmas vibrated softly in the background.

            Turning towards us Demi said, “All of you know I have always wanted children and now that I am finally about to have one, ya’ll turn around and criticize me.”

            “Nobody is criticizing you Demi,” my mother said, “honestly I am happy for you. I mean, like you said finally it has happened.”

            “It’s still wrong, I think you should think about it some more. I mean you’re not married and please don’t tell me it’s by that bus driver who already has three other kids,” Aunt Camille said snappy.

            Aunt Demi started laughing, “You know what I expected that kind of judgment from you, but I thought at least for my sake and for the sake of us being sisters you would be more supportive.”

            “I’ll start being more supportive when you start being smart about the decisions you make,” Aunt Camille responded while standing up with a full plate of food walking towards the kitchen while throwing her food away she said she lost her appetite and will be up in her room.

            When she turned the corner I started thinking when has Aunt Camille ever been supportive towards anyone, she has always been stuck on herself and what others say about her and her material things. I took a look around my Aunts house, not home, and really paid attention to the materialized pieces. A kitchen with the theme color of sandy brown wood with a black stove, refrigerator and counter tops, she always repeated nobody was allowed in there without her permission, it was her domain, the dining room which we sat in now with the big bay window that she copied from her coworkers house, was filled with pictures of her in her younger days, so conceited I’ll say. I got up and walked into the den room decorated like a picture out of the better room’s magazine and stared into the fire sparking flames up the chimney.

            As muffled footsteps came closer to me I turned to see my Aunt Demi standing next to me I was happy she had finally stopping crying, “So what do you hope to have,” I asked.

            “Baby girl it really doesn’t matter what I have as long as him or her is healthy,” she said.

She looked at me and said “I remember when you was a baby you will forever be my baby girl and don’t you ever doubt that.”

            “I promise I won’t I hope you have boy I always wanted a little brother, and don’t worry Auntie Millie will come around.”

            “Yeah maybe she will and maybe she won’t, but she really has no choice but to accept that her little grown sister is going to be a mother soon.” I just smiled and laid my head against her shoulder and rubbed her stomach.

            “I should have poured that red kool-aid on her white couch and carpet,” she smiled, “let us see what her reaction would be then.”

            I could hear the anger and hurt in my aunt’s voice and my love reached out to her hoping it was strong enough for her to hold onto. As I looked up into her face and saw she was fighting to not cry again I grabbed her hand and said lets go outside and throw snowballs at her window maybe that will make you feel better. We both smiled.

Surrender by Brenda Jackson

The story that started it all for me is this one. Lovely sweet book. i have read this book over 15 times and will read again like its the first time. Ashton was such a sweetheart. You will not be disappointed. I must say this book is the reason why Brenda Jackson is one of my favorite authors.

Tears run.....

Today tragedy hit. 20 children and 7 adults including the killer. I must say my heart stopped when I thought about this heartbreaking news. How can anybody kill children? Young babies that are still growing. They have no worries. You could be going through a rough moment and to put a smile on your face you will see a child laughing and playing with no worries and it will make you smile. I pray for the parents, grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, wives, husbands, girl/boyfriends and friends who will be planning funerals instead of a Merry Christmas. This will be a hard holiday to get through. I may not have children of my own but I love my sweet baby cousins as if they were my own. Devastation cannot explain the hurt and pain these families are going through. Innocence have been stolen from these victims. I even pray for the killer soul because to do this crime, the devil twisted it and he didn't rebuke it.
