Coffee came today. Two bags of it. “I’m so excited I could spit!” <-from To Wong Foo
Lookee!
It’s decaf so I can drink more of it than I can my other coffees. It smells so divine. I am going to have a cup before the day is over.

I just received my turtle shell in the mail. I can tell you, when I opened the box, I was not quite ready for the surge of emotion that flooded me. I saw it and immediately pictured the poor creature who had donned that very shell. I nearly got sick to my stomach. I could smell the distinctive aroma of the turtle…one that I will never forget as it is part of my childhood. I kept a turtle when I was young and she was my greatest treasure till her tragic death.
The shell is beautiful and I am thankful to have it. It is just so weird to hold it in my hand without a living creature poking its head out to look at me.

This song never fails to enthrall me and give me such an uplifted spirit of praise. This is for my mom. I know I promised you I would post it a while back, mom. Sorry I got so sidetracked. It’s been uploaded for about 4 days LOL
Enjoy.

“In our language there is no word to say inferior or superiority or equality because we are equal; it’s a known fact. But life has become very complicated since the newcomers came here. And how does your spirit react to it?. It’s painful. You have to be strong to walk through the storm. I know I’m a bridge between two worlds. All I ask is for people to wash their feet before they try to walk on me.”
–Alanis Obomsawin, ABENAKI
Our language…the spirit…who would know that these things are all related to each other? I would. It is inevitable that the things you speak from your mouth are directly connected to your spirit, especially when dealing with the Creator. I know that for myself, speaking spiritual language tells everything from my soul’s desires to my utmost fears to the Creator so that He may hear me and help me.

This will be a very staccato post. Sorry in advance.
I just got home today from my mother’s house. I partied for two days in a row with my sister. Last night I went to my friend’s home for the first time since he died. It was weird for me to be sitting next to his baby brother and not him. I didn’t know what to think. I kept not mentioning his name…until his big brother arrived. Then we talked about the old days. How much I miss my friend is beyond belief. I have had too many pass in their early years. Maybe knowing me shortens their lives….

But can you get what you need?
I know what it is that I need. I have been begging God for the things that I know are in His will. Have I received them yet? No. Not yet.
These are the times when we must stand firm and faithful. If we faint while the storm is all around us, then we will never see the promise on the other side…and I am waiting for His promises. I am on my knees begging for them.
I keep trying to push things to happen. I keep trying to effect some sort of change, but the wind keeps on pushing me, the rain keeps slapping me in the face. I’m pressing on…and on and on…as long as it takes for me to see the light of day again. I cannot die in the winter of my life, my season HAS to be coming soon.

Was the day my child was born. Yes, I know many mothers say that…but you may not understand how momentous this event is for a woman. Everything changes in an instant. What once was just an idea is now a real, living, breathing, needing creature.
