Beating to a Different Drum.....

These past few months has had me thinking back into the past. My family has never been and never will be thought of as normal examples. As far as I can remember my family was always about "making a difference". My Grandfather, was an engineer without formal training. As a Senior Master Sargent.... in the Air-Force. He worked on, and perfected the "release mechanisms" on the B-52 bomber. My Grandmere after being a Housewife of 33 years, went to college at the age of 53 to earn her BA and taught English as a Second Language in a private University. My Mother was very prominent in her day, over achieving what was not expected of the time including a Masters in Nutrition. My Aunt (who has since past) has/had earned more Masters (3 to be exact) to choke a horse--- from Ivy league Universities including Berkely!!!!!!!--- And then there's me..... Well....... let's just say.... I aspire to do my VERY BEST to be my own individual as I was created to be. I'm thankful that I was taught to beat to a different drum..... Grandmere would sometimes use a bit of Choctow----ism (I call it..... apparently pow-wows were used to get things off your chest......... I LOVED to hear these Stories from my Great Cousin Vietta who past 2 years ago)----------"if you see your beats close to another...... it's time to refocus, regather, and slow the rhythm......" As I've said before.... I aspire to be the leading voice not the broke record.....

Tread Lightly

Do you ever feel like you're in some unknown realm of things/thoughts that you really don't care about but you participate anyway............. Welcome to my world........

Hello you....It's Me......and this blog makes 3!"

My lovely friends (you know who you are) totally believes in blogging...... it's the wave of the future.....wave of the future......wave of the future....(I hope someone gets that). Sigh..............

Well.......I beg to differ... and I don't mean that in a condescending way...

I'm a very uplifting person......but just like anyone else I have my days.... days that I can not take BULL.........from any angle.....well....I've had some recent angles.........I'm so tired of it......although (again) it's the wave of the future............(sigh.....)

Does anyone else sense a false blog world!?!?!

GOSH.....anyway.......I was chatting with a friend the other day...while catching up with long lost happenings....she begins to tell me that her blog was sub-par.....In the Blog World?!?!?!? Since when did the world get a B.S. committee.... referring to Blogger Standard Committee..... Although...I think that the other would suit nicely...........really!?!?! is there someone out there in the web world giving blogger 10's... a fake world of popularity? Wow.......hum...........with so many other things that matter.....Human Life.... world crisis.......... We ALL HAVE TO HOPE to fit in on blog web standards........

Cuz....I don't know about you...BUT THAT'S WHERE I MUST BE.............Whatever!!!

We live in a real world.....with real things....called LIFE...... you will not catch me trying to hide behind a facade...........I have started this blog because my long time friends.....(love you guys) have said people need to see the inner you.......OH....How I DO NOT LIKE THAT.....but immense the Internet-net B.S. (that one doesn't stand for blogger standard)...I will let it flow...........

I hope I will inspire people with the SAME creative standard of being YOU......... To share their insights............I'm tired of looking at people abiding by some boring creative rule book that says....."you must write your blog this way.....you must take your pictures that way....you must have this circle of friends....... you can only post comments here.....AND IF......ONLY IF you follow this you will end up a success...







If you have a talent be true to self...do NOT be contain



Peace, and Love and true to self.......

Where Does one fit....

In the daily task of things... I often find myself wondering...."Where Do I Fit?" I'm working on art here....and making jewelry there. Juggling Wife-hoodum ( I like to make up words), and don't forget being Mom (Gosh I hate that my kids call me that....what happened to Mommy?!??!). I use to lose myself daily trying to find WHERE I FIT.

This week my 8 year old son came home from school and told me they were having "class meeting"....at first I just continued on with my task of dropping all art related things and fixing a yummy snack. I stop for a second to look up at him and he replied......"it's because of me". "WHAT!?!??!......what did you do?" Me.. THE MOTHER REPLIED..... For those of you that know D'jole.....he is the sweetest boy with the biggest heart. He replied "It wasn't anything I did...it was what the other kids did to me." I looked at him deeply....he wasn't hurt, sad, or even mad. SOOOOOOOO what in the world could have been so bad that the teacher had to have a "CLASS MEETING?" Well....he begins to tell me "Mom I love things like science, reading, music and art!!!! But LOTS OF SCIENCE! The other kids tease me......I didn't want to tell you but one kid pushed me off the slide at recess and I had to go to the nurse..... AND they don't let me play tag...." I lOST IT.....hurting my kid....NOPE I WILL NOT DEAL........I CAN NOT DEAL.....
I had a long talk that night with the Head of the Home A.K.A Shad... and he said pray about it........these guys are in Gods hands.

I started the next day in DEEP DEVOTION.... then set out for a brisk walk.....talking out loud to the Lord as to WHAT am I'm suppose to do?? ---------" Can't handle this.....I WILL NOT handle this......I JUST NEED TO HOME SCHOOL END OF STORY!!!!!!!----"Leave in my hands." Is what I heard.....not really happy with that..... I just continued with my day and trying to solve the problem. I had a great conversation with my friend Shauna.. after my walk/rant........We talk about this GREAT school that we had both agreed was "THE SCHOOL"...So I ventured out as a Mommy on a mission to get my kids IN.... well to no avail----I was stamped "DENIED"....and believe you me I TRIED EVERYTHING...I had friends in the school system trying to pull whatever they could for me....
Bummed.....very bummed I heard that voice again-----"Leave it to me....."---I see it... door shut....ok I will listen to You...
So back in prayer I go......

A Few hours later D'jole and Yaz walk in after coming home on the bus....I give both of them a great big hug and then begin to have a talk with D'jole.....I ask him how was his day...."well....I guess it was ok...." I then proceed to ask him what did he mean by that....He begins to tell me--" Mom we're different...and that's ok....I don't want to "fit-in"....and my teacher likes me."
I wanted to cry.... Cuz....I think all parents want their kids to fit in.......

His teacher called me after the little 30 min. of Mommy (yeah I said it!) and D'jole session. She was pleased on how mature D'jole was for his age....
I tried to talk to D'jole about the phone call with his teacher but he was on to what he wanted to share with his class tomorrow------ "The Scat Guide" (I'm thinking great poop talk) and the "Roly Poly Playground" ...I thought.....both of these thing are really neat for him to share with his class.....

So.....where do WE fit in......we don't.

Be not conformed of this world...............
