Im sitting here staring at this black page, attempting to write what has been good with my life, but yet Im stuck, there are somewhat alot of little things I would like to share, but where does one begin to express my thoughts to my friends and family back home. To let them, to let you know Im still me, I haven't changed.
I read my last few blogs, and I noticed I wasn't really happy in them, except for the blogs with my pics of the trip home and to Atlanta. hmmmmmmmmmmmm.....
Well anyways let me tell you how things are with me, myself and I...
Who for the first time last sunday, Jan 21, ventured into the city by herself. Yea ya'all, I took the Path train into the city....
OK fyi.....i stopped and saved this draft last nite as I was thoughtless as to entertain my readers....the many of you..lol
I'm reading this book right now that I really think its one of those books that changes your life.....well at least how you think and look at the world now...the book came into my mind and thinking last weekend while out to dinner at my favorite obsession with brazilian food...
I wanted to introduce two of my co-workers, my puertorican gal and my homegirl from brazil about brazilian hamburgers, our convo's varied until we talked about books we felt other would enjoy and learn about something, one. I told them about Rabbi Proof Fence and The Lovely Bones which are two of my favorite books.
Left to Tell....a book in which Im not even done but feel the need to share with you! In the early 1990's in Rwanda, genocide occured too quick amongst a group of Rwandan's called Tsutsi's. There were two ethnic groups in Rwanda the Hutu's and the Tsutsi's and in 1993 a mass killing begun killing over a million Tsutsi's. The true story follows one girls path as she hides in a bathroom with 7 other women for 91 days while Hutu extremist attempt to murder every Tsutsi in Rwanda. Her faith in God to forgive and to continue to love all in her world is breathtaking. Her faith in God to see her through everyday, every close call by being found and her endless prayers makes you respect her and her faith ever more. Her will and power to live on without her family, to continue the strength and let it build with her spiritually is amazing.
I appreciate those whose faith can lead and direct them down a balanced road but to forgive those who turned against one because of their faith in God to me is the biggest triumph in life. I suggest this book! Her account is very detailed as she brings to life her 91 days, losing her family and loving what is no longer with her physically.
Volleyball....
We all know that volleyball makes me smile like no other. I take every chance given to me to get on that court. I finally googled Volleyball Jersey City NJ, and got SpikeleagueNJ, after not getting on the court since the Indigenous games back in July. Your girl is now on two teams, already played in a reverse coed tourney and friday's open gym with some pretty competitive people! I was in volleyball heaven last week and the weeks will continue to bring me to heaven. After open gym on Friday I was invited for a beer with some fellow volleyball goer's. It was nice, there was the opening let me get to know you convo's, a midwest gal whose olives in her bee shocked my new jersey friends and my last name being soooo cool! I finally am becoming content with stepping outside my box and doing things on my own. Its not easy but I am trying to do more things without my roomy and meet people outside my job as work is another damn story to blog.
I love the kids and that is what keeps me going everyday, to see some of my kids who make me laugh, give me my lil wink with both their eyes at the same time, making it a wink...not sooo much..lol. I just sometimes wonder why some adults function as they do and for the most it wouldnt bother me, but your functioning interferes with my life...it takes alot for me to not like or be friendly with some people, you all know that. I just think that when I find a person who Im not compatible with I get rather annoyed and want to keep my distance from you! point blank...
The warm not MN/SD cold weather is back, it was 9 on friday but felt like -12 and today it was 45 out as we ventured into times sq for a movie and dinner with another fellow minneapolis homie!
Have a great week my friends (^_^)
