Working and Working

Just another random update on the game of life:
-working on many articles for Stimulation Status
-been reading Divanomics by Michelle McKinney Hammond and this girl has been breaking down what the Bible and my mommy have been telling me all along, "Money has its place, but it's not first place"
-just ordered Embracing the World: The Black Woman's Guide to Life After College by Chaz Kyser; can't wait to read it
-watching the news about more death, fires, arrests...I dare say depressing
-had a wonderful weekend indulging in spiritual food, and pondering on the deeper things in life

Okay...time to get back to work.

10) One week before I went to NYC, my mother allowed me to hack away at our tree with a chain saw. The left over wood will be used for seating stumps and shelves we plan to build in our house. 9) I was stressed during the semester that I wouldn't get into any of the 30 internships that I applied for and I was blessed with two of them: Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia for Web Productions and Honey Magazine for writing.

This is what I came up with so far: Legendary Hollywood icon, Elizabeth Taylor, dead at age 79 Elizabeth Taylor's Final Resting Place Water poisonous for Tokyo infants Japan struck by another major earthquake Another Chris Brown thing Another Charlie Sheen thing Ohh, comparing Chris Brown and Charlie Sheen (Breezy brought up a good point, but I digress) Little girl loses leg saving her sister N----r Heaven...?

I'll just end this post with words from my sister's status... RIP Liz Taylor but there's still entire families dying in Libya right now... P.S., realizin

We fight to... maintain spiritual enrichment of the self (and family) express ourselves in a free yet firm form have time away from our quotas, goals, and missions for peace of mind manage the home along with the career  avoid late payments More can be added to this list, but you catch my drift, yes? Ok, moving forward... Mental trauma interjects itself into your plan, beautifully unscheduled. It can range anywhere from mild depression to extreme chaos on the job.
