Food for thought
11 May 2023 By AdminPICTURE THIS… Imagine you are holding a cup of tea when someone comes along and bumps into you which shakes your arm, making you spill your tea everywhere. Here’s a simple question. Why did you spill the tea? Simple Answer: Because someone bumped into me!!! WRONG ANSWER…. surprisingly You spilled the tea because there was tea in your cup. Had there been coffee in your cup you will have spilled coffee. Whatever is inside the cup is what will come spilling out if you’re not careful of your surroundings. Therefore, when life comes along and shakes things up a bit (which will su...
Black History Month
23 Feb 2023 By AdminBack many years ago, a day seemed like a year Laughter, joy and mere satisfaction were amongst fear A life full of heartache, struggles and pain Chained to a life of nothing gained Kept by a master and his wife who claimed no shame. Helpless, hopeless, beaten, starved and broken Ill from poverty, a cry for help goes unspoken Sadly tormented and forced to work or death Taken lives while loved ones watched as they took their last breath. Obsessed with dreams of freedom and living free Rage is the only feeling you can connect with intensively Yelling, falling to ...

The Ghost of Christmas Past, Present and the Future
05 Dec 2022 By AdminPAST: (Represents Memories) Many many years ago, (lol) as a child Christmas was perfect!! All the days in December leading up to the 25th day was nothing short of amazing. Neighborhoods East to West and North to South flickered and shined brightly!! I remember those nights my family and I piled in the car to go sightseeing and it felt like I was riding and watching stars right in front of my eyes. I remembered my siblings and I all imagined being some place magical. I can remember going into the stores with mom and walking into the feeling of comfort from the smell of apples and cinnamon an...
Don’t Judge a book by its cover
22 Nov 2022 By AdminOn a daily basis I take the same route to work. For a while now I have been riding past this building on my way home with my music blasting and singing along. Occasionally on my drive home I noticed something very colorful. I can’t say that I paid close attention but somehow at some point the vibrant colors of t-shirts flapping in the wind grabbed my attention when passing by. There were quite a few at this time. I noticed the t-shirts had some numbers and letters on them. It seemed as if more were being added by the day and the illumination of colors, it began posing as a landmark for m...
If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands…

If we’ve slept well the evening before and awoke feeling energized, most likely were happy or in a good mood. If traffic was light and flowing and we made it to work on time every day this week…hmmmm we’re probably happy. If we got a compliment on our outfit, or hair and makeup, or found money balled up in the bottom of our purse…at that moment we feel a sense of happiness. If we got a raise on the job or ...
How heavy is your glass of water?
26 Oct 2022 By AdminHave you ever thought about why mentally you feel overwhelmed? Why the weight of everyday life can feel so heavy? Why although we wake up feeling rejuvenated, conquering the repetitive cycle of our thoughts and decision making can weigh us down? I often wonder why I’m always fatigued. Why even on my most relaxing days I crave to stay in bed because my energy is on zero. One day I thought long and hard on how to put my feelings into a perspective that I could best understand. I decided to pour myself a tall refreshing glass of water and after taking the first sip here’s what I c...
