i believe in God. my mom is probably my best friend, but i would never tell her that. i tend to be a loner, because i enjoy my own company and i like to do things on my own terms. i believe meaningful conversation with others is important. i keep family and friends close. i don’t believe in having enemies, although there are people that i may dislike. i love to laugh, and i laugh at myself all the time. i appreciate the simple things in life. i love being outside. i wish i watched movies more often (it’s so hard to have conversations with people about movies, cause i never know what they are talking about). i love sports, and wish i knew more people that i could play with.
i believe in the power of forgiveness and in second chances, but oftentimes, my kindness is mistaken for weakness. i think it’s sad when people don’t get to know you because of what they think they know of you. i love college basketball…and i am learning to love college football. my true desire is to fulfill the purpose that God has for my life, and i wake up everyday grateful for another chance to try and get it right. i’ve been told that i’m conceited, but to that i’ll say that i’m fully convinced of the power that God has to mold me into a PHENOMENAL woman who can do all things through Him.
i think that love and laughter are the best medicines. i am a hugger. i can be emotional. i love care bears and build-a-bears. i like things that are monogrammed. i believe in being classic instead of trendy. i would love to cut my hair but i am scared. i don’t like spiders- or any bugs, really. i am country and proud of it. i like cupcakes, cookies, and ice cream. i am SO proud to be black. i love history and i am grateful for the sacrifices that others have made. i believe that learning your history puts things in perspective. i am grateful for the different circumstances in my life that have helped me become who i am today. i am grateful that i don’t look like what i’ve been through, and that every day i get closer to who and what i desire to be.

interesting & intriguing…nice blog. many blessings, take care
You are such an inspiration. I found your blog recently and have been reading it religiously. I grew up in Louisiana, went away (New York) to college and taught a year or two, and I am now in the process of moving back south to Alabama to teach 11th and 12th grade. You are funny, insightful, and seem to have such a good attitude about what you do. Anyway, I’ve been reading blindly and I thought I would at least let you know that you have had a huge impact on me (especially since I am at a new school where I don’t know anybody etc). Thanks for blogging!!
"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists. It is real. It is possible. It is yours."
