Yep, no Friday book review. I fell short of my goal. Normally, I would be kicking myself and re-examining the last week so I could do better the next go round. With this failure however, I realize I set myself up with a task that was unrealistic. Yesterday, when I would have been finalizing the …

10,000 Steps a Day…
It's nearly noon and looking at my pedometer, I am more than 8,000 steps away from that goal. The first day with it, I didn't do very well; only 1,700 steps recorded. Of course, I left the darn thing at home while I ran errands. Today, I put it on right after my second cup …
Justice…
When we achieve justice for one of us, we achieve it for all of us. The shooting of Trayvon Martin didn't just hurt his family and friends, it hurts all of us. Many of the students who come in my classroom already have a problem with the color of my skin; complexity of ethnicity not …
Ready…set … wait…
For the last week or so, my fellow teaching diva, Lisa, as been bugging me to go out with a friend of her's; a nice young man just looking to go out and have some fun. On the surface, it is what I am looking for, but I am not ready.. not ready to open …
Dear Cancer
Dear Cancer, Tonight I found out that you are killing another friend of mine; draining his life away before the eyes of his loved ones. His spirit is tired and just wants to rest; sleep however, offers little relief. Life keeps moving on at a normal pace, but now thanks to you it exhausts him …
Monday Post
Normally, by this time I have a post ready for you. Not this week.. I have about three unfinished posts and a poem or two in the process of being birthed. Some poems are messier to birth than others. Some topics need to stew for a while before I know where they are going. Still …
The Blank Brain…..
After an afternoon of shopping with Momma, I sat down to finish the post I started on and there was no love in it. So here I am with a blank brain. Well, not completely, it is thinking about the gigantic mess in my spare room. It is too horrific for me to post a …
Coming Soon
The rain has just stopped, but the air is still moist and sleepy. It is the perfect time to curl up with a book, which is what I will be doing shortly as a part of my daily unwinding ritual. The book d'jour is Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. I have been carrying it with me …
Adventure Update
I have been in my new home a little over a month. The storage unit that has haunted me isn't half-way empty as I had planned. I wanted to have the unit cleared out and most if not all of the stuff stashed away in the spare bedroom. Plans, I have reminded myself are meant …
Book Reviews Returning Next Week….
Now that my living room is free of boxes (please notice, I didn't say the whole house), I am getting back into my regular routine. Next week, I will be posting my review of Emma by Jane Austen. It was nearly finished when my brain went on vacation. Soon after that Pride and Prejudice will …
