The war continues to rage, feelings get hurt and lives are lost. We see the need to end the war between races, the discrimination and the turmoil that continues to plague the world. I have watched the "I have a dream" speech many times, and each time my heart ached as Martin Luther King Jnr spoke with much conviction, I stare into his passionate eyes and listen to his voice tremble across the land, and for a while I see the hope blaze and the strength revived in the audience.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And somehow, in 2016, we have to search his name and the speech because the energy is running low. As the topic states <b><span style="color: red;">"One blood," </span><span style="color: red;"><i>note</i></span></b> I am not speaking of the blood draining through our African, Indian, Asian and white brothers, it is the blood of the black man. I am in no way trying to be bias by focusing on my own, as you read, right now I am not proud of my race, there is a sense of hypocrisy among us; we stand up with cards with words written with our own blood, tears flowing uncontrollably down our faces as we yell <b><span style="color: #274e13;"><i>"Black lives Matter,"</i></span></b> but we cease to forget that you should clean your home because you try to clean anybody else's. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The black community is separated, browse through the social media platforms, and the shades of black are viciously fighting against each other, and we never stop blaming slavery for our mentality, but there comes a time when we have to <span style="color: red;"><b>STOP</b>.</span> We rally for our brothers who are gunned down and taunted, and we feel a sense of unity because we lost one of our own, then its dead after awhile and some of us forget that anything happened and go back to tormenting our own with our words. We create Instagram pages, decorated with the ideal beauty and nasty hashtags for those we deem unfit. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The hierarchy never seems to stop growing and the lightskin and darkskin trend continues. We are all black, but yet between these groups we eat, sleep and smile differently. I have never been more ashamed of our poisoned minds and myopic thinking. We want freedom from our oppressors, without even knowing that we need freedom from our own thinking. Marcus Garvey said <span style="color: orange;"><b>"Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but our selves can free our mind."</b></span> but as they say, <i><b><span style="color: #351c75;">easier said than done. </span></b></i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I can't understand and will never know how we say we our lives matter when we can't even live as one in unity. There is no light skin, dark skin and brown skin race, we are all black and the same stereotypes are attached to us, the same hate is directed towards all of us, and most importantly,the same blood runs through our veins.</div>

was everyone I knew. We were afraid of the dead because we never could tell
when they might show up again.” (Annie John)<span class="apple-converted-space">
These words made me salivate and I was filled with hunger to learn more of such
a strange, yet intriguing character. It was summer time, school didn’t even
begin as yet, but I could mouth the quotes as my teacher spoke in her high
pitched voice when we resumed lessons. My love affair began with Annie John,
and I would carefully read the novel while taking care not to let the tell-tale
of curry stain the white, clean pages. But
I was filled with desire to know who was the master mind and literary genius
behind Annie John.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></span></span></div>

Island’s name and indeed her writing reflects the colorfulness, vibrancy and
rich diversity found only in the Caribbean. She was born Elaine Richardson in
1949 in Antigua, the same setting in the novel Annie John. Like her character
Annie John, she was said to have a rude attitude and a trouble maker. In Annie
John, the character wanted to move somewhere where no one knew her and could
not contact, which Jamaica did, she moved to New York at 17, and like Annie
John, she cut off her family for 20 years.<o:p></o:p></span></b></span></span></div>

<span class="apple-converted-space"><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 107%;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">She had no aspiration to become a writer, which
is surprising as she holds you with powerful descriptions and language as rich
as the greenery of the mountain side and powerful as the heat from the
penetration of the Caribbean sun. She changed her name to Jamaica because she
feared her family would disapprove her writing, but who could really mock work
so detailed that you feel the caress of the breeze she described or the
unhappiness the character felt could send you spiraling into depression,
waiting for the rain to end and set Annie John free.<o:p></o:p></span></b></span></span></div>

published in the New Yorker, and while working there she met Ted Shawn and they
were joined in holy matrimony in 1979.
After that she published ‘At the bottom of the river,” and my favorite,
Annie John in 1985. Annie John was well received for its rhythmic language, and
a theme centered on the mother-daughter relationship. Kincaid mentions that her
writing is “auto-biographical,” which is obvious after reading her
autobiography, her own mother is even named Annie, and her father is a
carpenter, like Annie John And as Earnest Hemmingway states “No subject is
terrible , if the prose is clean and honest and if it affirms grace and courage
under pressure.”<o:p></o:p></span></b></span></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="apple-converted-space"><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 107%;">In a turn of events, Kincaid became an enemy in the literary
world for her novel “A small place,” a novel about oppression by colonizers.
The New Yorker did not want to publish her work, because of its less than
inviting tone. Even though her pieces became controversial, the power she held
for writing was still being applauded.</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 107%;"> According to Brad Goldfarb in<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span class="italic"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 107%;">Interview,</span></i></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 107%;"> her work </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 107%;">is "an almost ruthless desire to get at the
truth"<span class="apple-converted-space"> she came back with a tone
that matched the gentle gurgling of a river, the songs of birds in the morning
with a collection of essays called “my garden.” Although, nearly all her works
are short, they never lack luster and displays an active voice that can’t be
ignored. </span></span></span></b></div>

her rebirth like that of the conclusion of Annie John “</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 107%;">I went back to my cabin and lay down on my

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">The pain I was feeling was worse than labour, it was worse than the bitter cold. I felt her screams rip through me in one fluid movement that I fell to the ground and sobbed. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and I screamed. I reached for her, I panted until I was hoarse and weak. She reached for me and I couldn’t help, if I could take my life in exchange for hers, there was no doubt that I would, but I was unable to do and I felt like it was my fault, I created her, I should be able to help her.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">“She didn’t do it!” I shouted to the executioner, but he grinned, the man with the mask over his face, exposing only his bright green eyes. I wanted to read them, but they were so still that I couldn’t even guess what expression those eyes held, they were still and glossy. He held his fixed gaze on me and I wanted him to feel the tiniest bit of pain that I was feeling, but he only walked on, taking big steps, as though he wanted to get over with the job, to make me experience everlasting torture, to carry this burden on my back until my death, which I guess won’t be long from now.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">She screamed as he got closer. I could feel the tear-drops cling to me, the symbol of her pain and fear embraced me that once more I feel into a heap of hands that tried to help me up. The sky wasn’t even dark, the sun was shining, and the light breeze was too calming. I needed dark skies to match my gloom, thunder to match my anger and raindrops, to show that God was crying with me, but I felt mocked on this beautiful day.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">She briefly held up her head and looked at me with bloodshot eyes. She was tired, her lips were bruised, and her head was a tangled mess. I tried to remember my dark eyed, strong daughter, who didn’t play with dolls, but used wood as swords. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">She was crying with her arms stretched across with a rope that marked her skin and made them torn and dark.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">The women looked on me as I carried on, as I shouted. The easy target because she has no husband. She doesn’t have a beautiful house and her daughter was a rebel. Some were satisfied; some pitied me, while others blankly stared. I tried to reach out to them, to make them side with me, to just make me feel as though I wouldn’t go crazy, but they only looked at me and soon, their blank stares turned to cold steel that made a chill run down my spine.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">He lifted the axe, it glinted in the sun. He closed his eyes briefly when her desperate scream tore through the air and I had lost my voice. He held his hand in the air and turned to me. I clasped my hands as though I was praying. I pleaded, but he only shook his head, in such a way that confused me, but I knew that he couldn’t help me. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">I sank lower in the crowd when his hand went down and I could feel my daughter’s fear on my back, covering me like a blanket, that couldn’t shield me from a harsh winter day. I heard her grunt when his arm went down a little more. I whispered the Lord’s Prayer, my fingers trembling, my eyes unable to produce the fluid that would make God pity me, then it was done, I heard the thud.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">They walked away slowly and I was rocking back and forth, hoping that I would soon awake from my dream. The rain came, but the sky was still blue, the red fluid that flowed through her for seventeen years trickled towards me then disappeared, but it wouldn’t stop pouring from her. She was a rebel to them, she left her mark on their hearts, and killing her wouldn’t erase her words from their minds. She would be forever remembered as the girl who spoke against the king.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10278818036192060038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9182093919829345684.post-74548164359085952122015-10-02T16:00:00.000-07:002015-10-02T16:00:02.161-07:00Netflix and Chill?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Welcome back to my Blog! I agree, it has been collecting dust, and cobwebs are growing in strange places. Truth is, it has been on my mind everyday but work got the best of me and lets just say I lost the fight. But I am back.</span><br />

I saw the Netflix and chill joke roaming around Instagram, and surely it made me laugh. Its a little rude joke so maybe the young ones won't get it, but I agree its funny.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Although I enjoyed laughing at the different versions of the joke, it made me really think, when was the last time you really Nextflixed and Chilled <span style="color: #660000;"><b>(yup, it has become a verb.)</b></span> I am in fact enjoying movies on Netflix right now, but there is no one to watch with me. We are so busy trying to catch up with the rest of the world that we hardly ever chill. I am a low key, homebody type of girl so I love watching movies and lounging with family and friends. But recently, my favourite youtube videos have been running in the background, while my sister and I scroll through our phones without even talking to each other.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">And I know its a joke, but if you and your boyfriend plan <span style="color: red;"><b>"netflix and chill,"</b></span> does it always satisfy you not to chill? Call me old school, but i love the traditional catching up and laughing at a good movie. So next time you decide to "Netflix and chill," try to actually have quality talk time with your company.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The sea's rough, the dark water rises, and its angry grasp threatens to pull in the naive walkers, the giggly couples, and the pressured teenagers who dare themselves and others to jump in, to skinny dip or to jeer its angry roars. The sea is a place I go to relax. I am in a new place, so close to the sea that you can actually walk there. I like it by night, but I am never alone. I stand with strangers who are soon to be friends. Persons I barely know, but feel a sense of closeness, so much so that I wish to tell them everything that bothers or makes me happy.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The sea can hold your secrets, never spilling them to anyone, yet it doesn't apologize for those who it takes and never returns. It pulls them under, get into their minds, until they stop kicking, stop hoping. But a few days after, joggers, girls in skimpy bikinis and chiseled boys run along the shore, dodging the freezing, yet inviting liquid, dark as night and tempting as the Devil.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Its large home is where I sit and watch seagulls roam, and accept food from those willing to give. The salty air is fresh and one inhale can make you drunk with satisfaction of a life that is not exactly the best. I sit and observe, bottle all the stress, release the laughter,as it rushes and attempts to grab you, and invites you to a place where it doesn't guarantee you will return. Yet we long for summer days to go <span style="color: #660000;"><b><i>by the sea.</i></b></span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-poFhhiDc5Yg/VYSfoeLHSSI/AAAAAAAAAhA/ZLu60xdEQ4M/s1600/women-walking-hand-hand-silhouette-six-young-45817549.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-poFhhiDc5Yg/VYSfoeLHSSI/AAAAAAAAAhA/ZLu60xdEQ4M/s320/women-walking-hand-hand-silhouette-six-young-45817549.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<br />
When I was younger I thought it unfair that my mother pinned herself to the kitchen, went to school and took care of her family. I remember questioning her, in my small voice I asked <b><i><span style="color: blue;">"why do you bring daddy food? Can't her get it himself?"</span></i></b> She simply laughed, and I was angered by the roles that were attached to woman and the labels that continue to be plastered on her forehead.<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #4c1130;">1. A woman should take care of the home: </span></i></b>Yeah gender roles! but its the 21st century and women have climbed their way to the top, gaining roles that were once deemed <b><i><span style="color: #274e13;">"male jobs."</span></i></b> Many possibly stifled their potential because of social norms and culture. But I believe the roles in the home should be equal between both males and females.<br />
<br />
2. <b><i><span style="color: #660000;">A woman should be able to cook: </span></i></b>Well I'm not the best and I don't really like doing it. Many guys tell me with piercing eyes that I should be able to cook for my man, but I guess we're going to both starve. Cooking is a passion for many and becomes necessary in the home, as a home cooked meal can be one of the best greeting after a long and weary day. I would love to learn to cook like a boss, but it should be that I <b><i><span style="color: red;">WANT</span></i></b> to and not <b><i><span style="color: #783f04;">HAVE</span></i></b> to for the sake of a man.<br />
<br />
3. <b><i><span style="color: purple;">A woman should stay sexy for her man</span></i></b>: Yeah while he sits on a couch and eat potato chips and drink soda. His stomach pops out and it is not addressed. But a woman gains a few pounds, doesn't feel like wearing sexy clothes, is quickly criticized by both sexes that she is letting herself go.<br />
<br />
4. <b><i><span style="color: #f1c232;">A woman should be seen and not heard:</span></i></b> I don't want to sit with my legs crossed all the time, it makes my inner thigh sweat (TMI, I know), I don't want to squeak like a mouse in a corner. I don't want to accompany my husband on trips for the sole purpose of smiling and being beautiful. I want to stand on the podium and voice my opinions, not like a woman, but simply as a person.<br />
<br />
**I know many won't agree, but this is how I have felt for a while.<br />
<br />

It is <b><i><span style="color: #073763;">HARD </span></i></b>to keep up sometimes in the social media/digital age. I am only 20, but I am an old soul who forgets to scroll through my Instagram or Facebook feed and have to write it down sometimes. Its great to have the newspaper on your phone and to be aware of the latest happenings and trends. It keeps you current, hip and up to date, and you possible won't look like a fool when trying to have a conversation with others.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But <b><i><span style="color: #38761d;">I love the mountains</span></i></b>. I like to think and be at peace. I am constantly conversing with myself and blank out too often when others are talking to me. This contradicts with the life I hope to start in New York city, as the location would be good for business. But there is always the need to be somewhere rural, to hide behind the green curtains and feel the rhythmic sway of cool country breeze pressing against your skin and then caressing lightly, leaving its breath stains. oh <b><i><span style="color: #c27ba0;">sweet nostalgia!</span></i></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All this only sounds like a resort visit, but it is <span style="color: #274e13;"><i><b>the road less travelled</b></i></span>. The world has become a noisy place. People have isolated friends and family for their computers, I do it sometimes, <i><b><span style="color: purple;">ashamed?</span></b></i> yes. But It seems as though to be a different person is a criminal offence. Unique personalities, tastes and attributes are frowned on, cast away while the ideal looks and common tastes are embraced. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I go through <b><span style="color: red;">HELL</span></b> sometimes because I don't like what everyone else indulge in.Sometimes I want to cave and please others just to get their approval, but it would not be my life, and instead of living, I would be merely breathing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love how odd people think I am. Its a hard road to travel on and no one may want to walk with you. But how would you feel, what would you be if you lived only for the world and the flash, which I believe has no substance or very little.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To me, if you love it, live it. If your're the only one dancing, dance harder. If you are the only christian or whatever religion, praise harder. If your clothes are different, wear it even more. <b><i><span style="color: #783f04;">The road less travelled often yields the greatest fruits.</span></i></b></div>

<b><i><span style="color: #134f5c;">A LIL VEGGIE STORY :)</span></i></b></div>
<br />
I transitioned to a vegetarian diet in October 2013. I did my research and was pumped to begin this new lifestyle. It was rocky at first and it still isn't smooth sailing, but I would not give it up for anything.<br />
<br />
I experienced headaches when I first started and often felt exhausted and sometimes nauseous. My body was new to this new diet and the smaller portions.It took about a week to master the diet and know exactly what to do. I must tell you that the scent of chicken and other meats had me salivating for awhile, but I kicked that away and have gotten use to the smell of beans and vegetable goodness.<br />
<br />
Knowing what to eat and how much to eat really confused me at first, but with a little research I was able to understand how and what to eat.<br />
<br />
Most people think they will be restricted if they transition to a vegetarian diet, but I often ask my friends: <i><b><span style="color: blue;">what do you eat on a daily?</span></b></i> Turns out its only chicken and rice. I had more variety in my diet, but most persons believe that chicken is enough because of the different ways it can be cooked, but the same goes for <b><span style="color: #bf9000;"><i>tofu</i></span></b> and <span style="color: #38761d;"><i><b>vegetables.</b></i></span><br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: red;">Warning</span></i></b>: Do research before you start a vegetarian diet and be careful of junk food. I've seen where newbie vegans and vegetarians live on french fries because they don't know what to eat. There are many fun and easy recipes to try. My favorite sources for meal plans and recipes are:<br />

<br />
We often ask <b><i><span style="color: orange;">what if</span></i></b> and ponder if things have turned out differently. How would you react you woke up and your life was different. If you are poor, then you might fantasize being rich, and in your mind you would be happy. That's because it is not your life, and as humans we want the best for ourselves in this jungle of a world.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #bf9000; font-size: large;"><i>Look at it this way:</i></span></b><br />
<br />
What if your life stays the same, what would you you do? would you be happy? Instead of thinking how I want my life to be sometimes, I think of how I would<i><b> <span style="color: #674ea7;">NOT</span></b></i> want it to be, which motivates me to do better instead of daydreaming all the time.<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Most times we want success to live a flashy life:</span></i></b><br />
<br />
I am not the flashy sort of girl, not only because I can't afford the lifestyle but how some people with the life act, especially if they didnt have it before. Many say they are humble and justify the reasons by talking about quality and quantity or how hard they worked for it. But helping others always seem secondary.<br />
<br />
I can't lie, I think of myself before I think of others majority of the time, but always feel guilty afterwards. We work to better ourselves, but seem to forget others in the process and just throw the extra change in the donation bucket. We also feel as though we must let the world know that we've helped someone,sometimes for likeability, especially as a public figure.<br />
<br />
<i><b><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Be level headed</span></b></i><br />
<br />
Its great to have dreams, ambition, drive and determination. But what if your life never changes, and your dreams get washed down the drain. <span style="color: blue;"><b><i>Would you feel good? content? </i></b></span>and try to live with it? or <i><b><span style="color: magenta;">would you sink in a deep, dark hole feeling hopeless and desperate for change.</span></b></i> While you work on your dreams remember to always be thoughtful of others and to be content. Personally, I believe it keeps your grounded. How you react to small things can be a test to guide you when the bigger disappointments surface. Its those who persevere and don't get too caught up in the whims and fancy have the wealth: <i><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>economically and in mind and body</b>.</span></i><br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #741b47;">Don't worry, be happy. Live in the moment, work hard and stop concerning yourself about </span><span style="color: #990000;">what if </span><span style="color: #741b47;">this happens or nothing changes. Live in the now, not way up in the clouds where you might get lost.</span></i></b><br />

<br />
Too often we look in the mirror and judge ourselves harshly. I remember when I started getting acne and thought I would die. When I look back I laugh. I still have acne, and moaning and hating myself did not make them go away. Its time to start holding your head high and smile! How would you have lived? crying? Don't weep as those who have no hope.<br />

<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b><i>2. I am a failure</i></b></span><br />
<br />
I was taught that whatever we say to ourselves, we will become just that. I understand when you try sooo hard and it does not work at first, but it is always at the point of giving up that it works out. Instead of saying its not going to work, think of where you want to be, not where you are. Think of what you don't want. Works for me!<br />

<br />
We see results and judge others based on their success which is natural especially if we don't know the person. We get jealous to see others with material luxuries and awards and drown ourselves in sorrow. What we don't think about is the sleepless nights, rejections and the pain a person sometimes endure to gain achievements.<br />

I remember when Selena Gomez was told that she would never make it, and look at her now. Power is an interesting thing. Those above think they are doing others a favour by stifling their dreams, but we ought to be careful as we don't know if that might be the last thing we say to the persons, some are sensitive than others and need the extra push.<br />

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-meXWYzI40oY/VU1EcQYH7XI/AAAAAAAAAes/TpVha5M_I3g/s1600/fresh-tomato-carrot-cucumber-juice-white-wooden-background-46524331.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-meXWYzI40oY/VU1EcQYH7XI/AAAAAAAAAes/TpVha5M_I3g/s320/fresh-tomato-carrot-cucumber-juice-white-wooden-background-46524331.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I was feeling sluggish and didn't have much of an appetite for a few days, so I researched the possible reasons for my forehead acne and why I was feeling so clogged up. Most of the websites stated that it could be my digestive system. I decided to give my system a break for a day from pollutants, fatty tissues and tissues that build up the body.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It is recommend that you consult with a physician before you try a juice fast and to gradually ease into the diet. I did this by drinking light soups and consumed enough water/ fluids the days before. Also it would be best to do this while at home</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">8 oz (1 glass) <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Green juice: </b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-size: large;"><b>Cucumber</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;"><b>Ginger</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Carrot</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Water</b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Upon rising</b>: Drink a glass of warm/hot lemon water (I did not do this, but it is HIGHLY recommended)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;"><b>6:00 am- workout</b></span></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: orange;"><b>8:00- Breakfast</b></span></div>
<div>
I felt energetic and my usual self after having my first glass of juice.</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>12:00 pm- Lunch</b></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At about 11 am I felt tired and moody, and a bit weak, nothing alarming. After lunch I could only rest because I had no motivation or energy to do anything.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: purple;"><b>2:00- Mid-Afternoon snack</b></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Around this time I was full on weak. Its a good thing is that I had no headaches or stomach cramps, neither was I hungry, just that my energy was low.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;"><b>6:00 pm- Dinner</b></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
About 4 pm I wanted to give up because my mother was cooking and the scent was driving me CRAZY. But I persevered since I love challenging myself and knew how beneficial this would be for my body.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><b>7:00 - Ginger tea</b></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It is recommended to have something warm to soothe the stomach before you retire. However, you can do this throughout the day in between the three square meals. Remember to drink water also, it prevents headaches.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I drank the same mixture throughout the day, simply because I did not want anything too thick, especially since it has been so hot at my home. I would recommend that you switch it up, especially if the variety is available in your local supermarkets.I also did my workout before starting the day because I knew that I would not feel strong during the fast, as I have done this type of detox before.</div>
<div>

<b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Update (Friday, May 8 2015)</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
I woke up feeling weak and hungry, but light on my feet. I didnt feel so clogged up any more. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Don't go back to oil and salt or anything artificial for 2 days after the fast. You may be tempted to eat the house down, but continue the cleansing process by consuming vegetable salads and drink more green juice. By the third day after your cleanse, you can eat healthy nuts, grains, starch and protein. Below is a sample of what I had. (I broke the rules, don't copy me.)</div>

I have mentioned this novel in more than one blog posts. My love affair with this novel began in 4th form (grade ten) and the interest has not died. It was a prescribed text for literature and as usual I read all my texts before school even resumed for the Autumn term. It tells the story of Annie John and her childhood in Antigua, her fall out with the mother, friendships and the trials and joys of being a teenager. Jamaica Kincaid explores the theme of growing up in such a relatable way that you can't help to stop reading until you reach the last punctuation mark ( then start all over again.)<br />

Thanks to mama for loaning me this novel. Like Annie John it explores growing up. Readers experience a change of personality in the protagonist Cynthia. She goes from a bold, adventurous child to an isolated, sad teenager. This occurred when Cynthia was taken from her precious "Tantie" after receiving a scholarship to a prominent high school. She is taken by her Aunt Beatrice, an aspiring elite. Cynthia has a difficult time adjusting as she endures scorn and teasing from her cousins because of her poor and "uncultured" background.<br />

Now I might seem bias choosing West Indian novels, but what can I do? I live in the West Indies after all. Another prescribed literature that also explores adolescence and friendship. Alan is a white Trinidadian who often explores the village with his poor Indian friends Jaillin (whom he claims to be in love with) and Kaiser, who are in fact illiterate and work for his parents. He narrates his experience as a privileged white boy among dirt poor Indians in a time of racial segregation. However, Alan grows and becomes knowledgeable about his status versus theirs, and begins questioning the friendship.<br />

A mother narrates the tale of two Asian immigrants who met and fell in love while living in New York. She speaks extensively of the tragic marriage, one daughter's rebellion, while the other keeps her loyalty to the home and her mother even after her mother's death. The novella reveals how the the father's love for the violin and his desperate attempts to live his dreams through his daughters cost them their happiness.<br />

If you don't know the term, a <b><i><span style="color: orange;">Bucket List</span></i></b> includes all the goals you want to achieve before you die.We have dreams of visiting majestic places, to do something spontaneous or even try a new dish. I enjoy reading bucket lists, so here's a sneak peak of the great (and simple) things I hope to do someday :D<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">1. Write a novel</span></i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></b>
<br />
I posted in the <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/106134988944938026164" target="_blank">Writer's Discussion Group</a> on <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/101560853443212199687" target="_blank">+Google+</a> that I am 16,300 words in my novel. My aim is 50,000 or 70,000. But the main concern is the content of the novel, and not how many words I can write. Congrats to those who are at 1.45 million. It's exhausting sometimes, but I love writing. I am not thinking about editing and the publication process just now. I have to write first!<br />
<br />

This might seem like a cliche wish, but I have read and heard that Paris is <b><i><span style="color: red;">THE</span></i></b> place for writers. I remember watching Midnight in Paris and felt a need to visit some of the historic sites and just get lost in the city, and write!<br />

<br />
I am such a casual person, and I am always drawn to lightweight, effortless pieces. I love skinny jeans, loose pants and patterned tops. I would not call myself a bohemian/hippie. But I have always been interested in the culture and the fashion. Its so frustrating to be wearing clothes that I don't really like, but I don't have a wide range of choices in my country. Everything is so <i><b><span style="color: blue;">sheer or tight.</span></b></i><br />
<br />

<br />
This has always been a dream of mine, especially when I started writing. The atmosphere is full of driven people who are always on the go. I feel inspired when I observe people and would love to lose myself in the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple.<br />

<b><i><span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;">5. Learn to bake</span></i></b><br />

<b><i><span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></b>
<br />
Now this may seem easy for some, but no matter how often or hard I try, I can never capture the art of baking. My products are either too hard, well they are always hard. My cookies are another story -_-<br />

I live in the beautiful country of Jamaica, and as small as the country is, I have not even been around it once. I want to especially visit Negril and Portland. It would be great if I could take a trip with my family.<br />

My favourite West Indian novels are Crick Crack Monkey and Annie John. You can read a review I wrote for Annie John <a href="http://digestmywords.blogspot.com/2015/01/annie-john-book-review.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> . I would love to sit with Jamaica Kincaid or Merle Hodge in a setting like that of the novel and talk endlessly about the writing process, their lives and anything about writing.<br />

I am currently a pescetarian, which means my diet is primarily plant based, but I consume fish. I admire <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/114239309269239977922" target="_blank">+Ela Gale ♡</a> and Essena Oneill on Youtube for their persistence and healthy lifestyle. I would love to go all natural and organic, but it can be a bit pricey.<br />

<b><i><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: large;">9. Do Yoga in Thailand</span></i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><i><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></b>
<b><i><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></b>
<br />
After doing the 90 minute Absolute yoga, I wanted badly to visit the Yoga camp in Thailand. Yoga has so many benefits for the mind and body. It helps to ease stress and gives you overall peace and stability. I do yoga for fitness and stress reasons, not the religious aspect.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">10</span>. And the big 1-0 is to <span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><b><i>go on a mission</i></b></span><b><i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">.</span></i></b> I used to present the mission story at church and always felt a deep inclination to visit a country like Africa or Indonesia. It would be a joy to sit with children to read and play with them. How enriching would it be to immerse myself in a foreign culture.<br />

TGIF!</span></i></b><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you visit my Instagram explore page, you might find your mouth hanging. Maybe you would think I am a pervert to follow people who post only sexual content. But no, most of these are based on <span style="color: #674ea7;"><b><i>popular</i></b></span> pages. We are sexual beings so either we engage in sex or think about it. Or maybe not, if you are strong Christians who don't yield to temptation. But I feel as though its getting a bit overwhelming. From the sexy women on posters, billboards and <i><b>Kendall Jenner</b></i> who can't seem to stop playing peek-a-boo with her breasts in photo shoots. I find western culture a bit hilarious, because contrary to my West Indian upbringing, growing up seems to be who can dress the raunchiest and curse the most.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Some love their bodies, and justify their naked poses as appreciating themselves just the way they are. But if you are advertising a pair of jeans, <i><b><span style="color: #990000;">where is the jeans?</span></b></i> and <i><b><span style="color: #bf9000;">why are you naked?</span></b></i> If you are in a commercial for a burger, <b><i><span style="color: #073763;">WHY</span></i></b> are you naked? But lets go back to my Instagram, I get a glimpse of the preferred sex toys, favourite positions and how freaky people can get, and I think <span style="color: purple;"><i><b>TMI!</b></i></span> I was a bit too nosey one Friday after I saw <span style="color: red;"><i><b>#eggplantfriday</b></i></span> circulating on my twitter feed, and did my eyes widen. I'm not telling you to go look, but if ya nosey, have your way!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Celebrate your body, show your weight-loss progress. But I personally don't believe my body is for the world and I never want to be seen as a pornographic figure. But since you want likes, then cut your slit higher, put your ass up and your face down or post your va-jay-jay and penis and your notifications will blow up -_-</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Love yourself and show off a little. But if you are only seeking attention, I am sure you have a talent or skill, so please stop exposing every inch of your body. I don't care about your sexual preferences, keep it in the bedroom or wherever your prefer. Follow Humans of NY and learn something different, be unique and post something that's worth attention. Women and Men are worth more than their bodies. Enjoy this viral commercial <b><i><span style="color: #783f04;">(worth watching</span></i></b>) on diversity and Inclusion (<b><i><span style="color: #20124d;"> sorry to disappoint, but it has no half naked men and women)</span></i></b></span></div>

As I watched and listened to my country make preparations, I thought "How does one man feel about his success?" It was impressive to see the world's most powerful man speak with such comfort and ease. I marvelled at how he was looked at with such awe and started wondering about my own life and achievements.<br />
<br />
It is easy to get down when you fail to achieve certain goals or you receive a terrible grade. I have been to the place where I start doubting my abilities. It gets intense when persons start making expectations, and you try to live up to them, to the point where you simply <i><b><span style="color: red;">crash.</span></b></i><br />
<i><br /></i>
I try to read widely and expose myself to the world and all that it has to offer. I see dreams becoming reality and watch as mine seem to be going down the drain, swallowed in a deep black hole filled with grime and my spiralling <b><i><span style="color: orange;">hope. </span></i></b>There are many that I have read about who did not believe that they would overcome their trials, but they did! I watch <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/112844001614178392332" target="_blank">+AprilJustinTV</a> on a daily, and her success story is an inspiration to never give up, even when others put you down.<br />
<br />
My dream is to be an Author, to do something I love every single day of my life. But there are many potholes, burning tires and clown faces in the way, and you move pass those, and have good days.But once you turn the corner, more appear and sometimes they stay for awhile. <i><b><span style="color: purple;">But that too shall pass</span></b></i><br />
<br />
I want you to close your eyes and remember a bad day, it could be yesterday, last month or a few years ago, then open your eyes and realize that it is the past. Those days are gone, those trials are over and everyday we wake up is a blessing for new possibilities. It is the time to re-invent yourself. I want to remind you that we live in a fractured creation and most of us will never see our names in bright lights, but even appreciation by one can change your outlook. You might never know if you have saved or will save someone's life with your positivity and hope in their abilities. But it may never happen if you stop trying.<br />
<br />
<i><b><span style="color: #351c75;">This too shall pass</span></b></i>: The <b><i><span style="color: #274e13;">sadness</span></i></b>, <b><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">pain</span></i></b>, the <span style="color: red;"><b><i>rejections</i></b></span>. You will wake up one day and be in a different place. You might even get to share your story with the world someday. As long as you keep going, even if your achievements seem snail-like, you will reach. Success does not occur overnight, so keep your dreams alive.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I thought of challenging myself to go a month without an item or activity I love, but that might be a bit much for my first attempt. I have decided to go a week without <b><span style="color: orange;"><i>criticizing</i></span></b>, now this is easier said than done and I often say it, listening to it loosely fall from my lips, and fail to keep up. We might find ourselves criticizing someone's hair, clothes and choices without even knowing them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I often see people sit and talk for hours about strangers and even their friends, and sometimes we might laugh. Even though you might not add any input, simply laughing gives others the approval that they are doing something right. I was on Pinterest, and saw a fun fact that states 80% of persons who talk about others have low self esteem, and like bullies, they do it to feel better about themselves. The heartbreaking part about this is as Selena Gomez says <i><b><span style="color: blue;">"Its such a funny thing how nothing's funny when its you."</span></b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We are quick to judge and rip a person apart sometimes to feel better about ourselves and can't take the heat when we hear something bad about ourselves. I have decided to become a positive person which does not include negative thoughts. A week might sound like nothing to most, but even without thinking, nasty words escape our lips.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't know what you might challenge yourself to do, it could be sweets, crying, meat.... explore the possibilities, so whatever it may be, I wish you the best, and I hope and cross my heart that I can go a week without talking bad about people, whether I know them or not.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></i></b>
<b><i><span style="color: red;">Good luck on your journey</span></i></b><b style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="color: red;">!</span></i></b></span><br />

We think we are not affected by Instagram pictures, filters and captions, but somewhow they are taking over our minds, partially rotting our Brains, leaving us with an identity we are not sure of.<br />
<br />
I began my fitness Journey in 2009, because I was never comfortable with my body size. I felt uncomfortable all the time even though I was not a plus size girl. I began purchasing magazines, liking boys and music videos. I was introduced to a world where size mattered, and it was the type of body with little flesh and a whole lot of bones.<br />
<br />
I worked hard at it, I didnt diet, only exercised and made my way to a size zero and a a healthy diet. I began challenging myself to drink more water, work out, do yoga and finally, discard meat from my diet, the rest is history. I feel like if I were to change, I wouldn't be myself....This life makes me happy.<br />
<br />
On the Journey, I met people who did not quite understand my lifestyle and I simply explained to giggly faces and the downright ignorant. I never thought once to give up to fit in, because I felt unique and separated from what I thought was a mediocre world.<br />
<br />
The journey did not end there, along the way came Miss Kardashian (with the West recently added) and she brought with her a huge butt, full coverage, contouring, small waist and breasts... a whole lot of breasts. There was now a need for bad bitches by young boys and a fat ass by young girls.<br />
<br />
<br />
Many strive to get the look, and the attention by pushing themselves beyond reality, but I still loved the petite look and feel. I love my vegetarian diet, obsession with the Rastafarian and bohemian culture, no make up face and weird music.<br />
<br />
I love this revolution, the A cup revolution, the small breasts, and little, Itsy booty. I love the way I look and feel and want nothing else. I love going braless whenever I feel, simply because bras are not necessary in my world.<br />
<br />
I raise my glass of purified water and plate filled with greens and tofu, here's to the #ACupRevolution! #LoveYourself<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">"When I was born, I heard that my mother cried. On Christmas Eve, they felt that I was old enough and we sat on the patterned couch watching my mother scream as I was pulled from her. She cried, and I wasn't sure if it was tears of Joy or the fact that she wasn't going to be able to buy Givenchy any more. My father had a very smug grin.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">It was that night that everything changed. I fell asleep to the sound of Otis Redding. It was the cough that woke me up, the sound was hoarse and deep, and I could feel the discomfort of the person. I jumped swiftly from my bed, the sheets tangled around my ankles and I fell on my face. I barely turned the corner before the face on the wall greeted me. The shadow was hunched over, the back raised high and the head moved up and down. I peered through the door and saw her. She coughed into a blood soaked rag. My father was on the phone shouting and I could see the tears glisten on his cheeks. I didn't understand fully, but I knew there would be no opening of presents at four tomorrow morning.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">My mother’s eyes were filled with tears and I could feel the pain grip my chest. She fell backwards onto the bed, in such away as though she gave up. My father flung the clothes he had in his arms and grabbed her.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">“Dad, No!” I shouted, but it as was though I wasn't there</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">“You have to sit up!” he shouted and I could feel his anger burn within me, then my father started crying. He leaned on her bosom like a child and sobbed. The sound filled the room and encircled me, then it sounded like a mocking laugh, and even though I didn't really know what was wrong, I started crying too.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">My mother only sat on the bed and looked on us; in between tears she rubbed my father’s back.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">“Clara, take some clothes from the drawer.” Her voice wasn't her own. It was filled with fear and sickness</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">“Mama what’s wrong?” I managed to say</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">“I don’t know baby, I don’t know,” And then she smiled, and I don’t know if that scared me more than the cough.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">Father drove like a madman, the hospital was bright and I saw mother’s face. It was hollow and I could not read her expression. They took her away and I sat alone in my pyjamas, staring at the picture of Jesus with children gathered around him. They were smiling and the light shone bright on his face, making him seem even more beautiful.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">A hand touched me, so cold that it sent shivers up my spine. The hand was a bit too comforting and I felt my armour break. The tears flowed out of me like a stream, and no matter how much I wiped my face, it just poured out of me. The people in the room looked at me, some out of pity, and others I knew saw this so often, they couldn't feel any more.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">The hand picked me up and guided me through a dark hall. I heard the moans of despair and retching. I heard my mother’s own voice and felt her pain wrap around me. The cough was distinct; the sighs were like the ones after a long day of cooking. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">My father was sitting in an armchair; the arm placed me beside my mother. Her fingers were cold and sweat washed over her face, I wiped them with my hand. Her eyes were directed towards the ceiling, which had nothing attractive, then she glanced at me and did nothing but stare.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">I shifted my gaze to the machine attached to her arm. The liquid dripping into her arm looked like tears and I felt my own starting to form, but I shook my head furiously, for my mother’s sake. We left without mother. She was sleeping, lightly snoring and coughing.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">It was Christmas morning. Dad and I sat on the patterned couch listening to the record that mother gave to him last Christmas. When it stopped, we were enveloped in silence and sadness. I glanced at the picture on the wall, the happy us. We were all dressed in red sweaters. Mother’s face was beaming as she held onto my hand, father was not smiling, because he hates taking pictures, but I knew he was happy.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">We spent a month at home without mother; the dishes had grease marks and our feet picked up dust. We walked around in pyjamas and ate cereal every day, and father played Otis Redding. We watched the final episode of lost, then out of the blue, father started crying.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">I fell asleep to my father’s crying, the phone rang and he shook my shoulders roughly.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">“Clara get up!”</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">“What dad?”</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">“She’s going, she’s almost gone.” I had to hold my father up, but his weight fell on me and we were both crying. We got there in our pyjamas and tear stained faces, the nurses stared in pity. They lead us through the dark hall once more, this time mother was gone. We held her hands and prayed, father kept trembling. I was stronger and gripped his hands while we shared tears.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">Mother had a rare disease that my grandmother had.

<div class="MsoNormal">
Moonlight dreams soar across the evening skies,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Spreading light, blazing minds.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hands joined tight and eyes like children,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As they welcome and embrace the feeling.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She blows; he inhales and laughs a little,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
firelight sparks again and they feel a shudder, a startling
feeling trailing the spine.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They laugh and ponder, trying to figure the joke,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And laugh again, falling in a heap at the throne.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They are silent for a minute basking in the moonlight night,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
drawing sharp breaths and savouring the taste.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She feels alive, and dances in the night,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He pulls her and presses her hand against his lips.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They laugh, and then she cries,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As one she holds dear is left behind.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Unknown to him are those moonlight nights,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
where new tastes and feelings come alive.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They sleep, joined as one, with nothing but hot breaths for
warmth,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lips pressed, thoughts exchanged,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And guilt tossed away.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But morning sneaks over the houses, behind corners,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And the sun exposes all their sin.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They run, never looking back at each other.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They wait patiently for another moonlight night.</div>

<span style="color: orange;"><b><i>Deanna</i></b></span><b><i><span style="color: orange;"> fears her sadness might be taking her over.</span></i></b><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The sun penetrates my thighs, soaking deep within and relieving
me of the horrid winter in New York. I took a plunge, with money I had saved
for my friend’s gift and took a vacation. Selfish, some may say and I wouldn't care,
because there is a deep pain in my chest reaching for my heart and pressing against
my lungs. It is so cliché in this life, when depression is romanticized, but I
still acknowledge the unique sadness that I mask behind open mouth laughs and
desk slamming jokes. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
#</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I met him, I was astonished; surprised that he chose me out of the throng of caramels and full chests. He called me ‘beautiful,’ a word
I heard from many, but it slipped from their loose lips and fell on the cold,
Gray concrete with a heavy thud. He said it, carefully pronouncing the letters
and with a tone so foreign that I stared at his hazel eyes, looking deeply for
a hint of deception, but they were like clear water, the type you had to travel
far to find. He stayed around, peppered me with unusual compliments (gave himself
some too), and then left me on the black couch one night with a blanket drawn
over my entire body and a rose at my feet.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"Deanna," the note said, with the ‘a’ gone way too far. “I
have to go back to my wife, because she said the bed is cold without me.” I
didn't cry at first, but somehow the lie of a relationship we had did not faze
me. “Sorry, Khalil.” I laughed at the word sorry. I should have known it wouldn't last when he called
himself superman when we lay underneath the navy blue sheets with his face pressed
close to mine and eyes closed tight. I stayed in the dark for awhile with the
scent of his body and ego all around me. His voice permeated constantly
throughout my house and stayed within the walls, I called my work, told them I
was sick. I didn't lie because then began the disease of unusual melancholy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I tried to erase him with liquid in dark bottles, ones that
burned and lingered in the body. My friends encouraged the eventful nights and
chugging, and I gladly held back my head and consumed the remedy. I would wake
up on Sunday mornings, a day set for breakfast on the balcony, watching the
cars race along the New York streets, a moment for light sweaters in the cool
spring and colourful nail polish. But I was bending over the toilet emptying
myself of retail, short lived happiness, leaving my stomach and heart empty, with vomit in my hair.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I started walking through the streets with my head down and
my hair blowing about my face. I embraced the onset of fall and felt a strange
desire to layer even more. I grabbed my coats with glee and wound scarves
around my face. I watched as others embraced, tickled and snuggled against each
other in the cold. I stared at faces plastered with smiles and wondered if they
had any sadness, even a little bit.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I told my friend I wanted to die, she laughed. “Deanna, you
are sure crazy, you light up my days.” Her compliment wasn't what I needed and
I sat gazing at her blowing cigarette smoke in the cold air and watched it wrap
around her, and the lipstick stain on the lung destroyer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
“Nash, you shouldn't smoke, it doesn't suit you.” she glared
at me and then laughed, a cackle like a wild animal. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
“You are so sad.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
“I know,” and the conversation ended there. I ignored her
calls and battled with losing her. I gave her up, but felt deep pain and
anxiety when she stopped calling. I wanted her to reach out for me, to crave my
attention and company, but every call was an intern who did not know how to use
the photocopying machine.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I started spending time with my sister. We sat in cafes and
hugged the warm mugs, relieving our hands of the bitter outdoors. I stared at
her high cheeks and small eyes, her glowing skin that wasn't given to her by
water. My hands reached up and touched my blemished plain face. She smiled at me, in a sort of pitiful way. “Your skin is clearing
up.” I gave a small grin and bent my head, staring at the brown liquid in the
cup.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I met a guy,” she whispered, although no one was close to
us. I glanced up and propped myself up on my elbows. She started talking, her
eyes getting bigger and her nostrils flared. I watched the movement of her lips
and the words tumbling out on the table, but I didn't hear a word she said. Most guys would stare as she walked with confidence and I dragged behind with my head
down. Some stopped her while I awkwardly stood behind, and they would politely
smile at me.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“That’s your sister!?” some said in the most outrageous
manner, and I stared gravely as they marvelled in her beauty and at me in an
enigmatic way, trying to make the connection that we were somehow related. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I studied myself in the mirror and questioned my face, eyes
and smiled. Sometimes I felt good, but nobody seemed to appreciate it. I bathed
myself in sorrow and pushed through the snowy days. The misery continued to
creep and take over and I feared it would take me. I booked the ticket, and
hoped for the best, for healing and freedom, but mostly relief from mental
fatigue.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
##</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I watch girls pass in bathing suits, toned and bold. The guys
made howling calls and grinned with each other. But they all passed without even glancing at the lone figure on the lounge chair and I still
felt lost and misplaced in world of sun and incredible warmth.</div>

<tr><td align="left" class="norm"><br /><br /><i style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Story about Religious Persecution</b></span></i><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">'Persecute her!' 'Persecute her!' The voices rose high into the dark night. The moon was hidden behind a cloak of clouds. I felt the heat encircle my legs, the occasional stench of alcohol from his breath. The faces were familiar. Faces that smiled and hands that gave friendly waves now had grim expressions and the same hands pounded the air in anger.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">It became hotter, crawling up my legs like a family of ants, but I was almost numb, shocked and happy that I stood for Jesus. My arms stretched above my head felt broken and separated from my body. The pain ran through my body over and over, and I tried to ignore it.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">'Run Elizabeth!' I looked back to see the pain in his eyes, marked by courage. The men in masks tossed the Bible in the fireplace and greedily devoured the left over bread.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">My breath came in huffs until I was wheezing. I could not see through the dark night, but something led my feet to prevent falling. The footsteps were behind me, a far off but close enough to catch me.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">His scream pierced the night. His howl of pain ran through my mind as I dodged the sharp twigs and branches. The hot tears streamed down my hot face, my legs became limp and wobbly, but I ran on for his sake.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The feet came closer. The wind pushed me on when my legs couldn't. I splashed through a pool of water, soaking my skin and adding weight. I could hear them cursing aloud each time a branch caught their masked faces.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">My breath was no more, but I kept going, hoping to see a light, or a friend, but there was no one, only the sound of taunting owls and howling wolves.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">They were coming, right behind. Warm liquid trickled from my inner thigh into my shoe. The shouts were louder and the night became hotter. A stench of blood rose in the air and covered the skies. I searched above for the moon, but I could only see the dark clouds that held up the dark sky.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">My foot hit a log and I went sprawling over into a shallow pool. I waded through the water breathlessly. They were right behind me. Sounds of desperation and determination filled my ear, but there was no energy, only my father's scream which pulled my body downward.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">A strong hand gripped my hand and pushed my head into the dark, murky waters. The water filled my nose and mouth. I struggled and tried to grab the hand, but it kept ducking my head and lifting me up again. The hand finally lifted my head and brought my face to his. A man, his breath reeked of alcohol and my father's cooking. Anger gripped me. My tired body tried to wrestle with him, but he ducked me into the wet darkness and it consumed me.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The voices were loud and clear, "If you don't kill her, we will!". I struggled to lift my aching body, but a hand struck my face onto the cold, dirty concrete. The pain went through my body. It crawled around my ear and mouth, but I could not die. I heard the sounds of rats crawling about the unfamiliar floor and felt them crawling about my bounded arms and legs. Laughter encircled the air while I pleaded.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">'Please', I cried, but the laughter grew louder. A glossy liquid fell from above; the smell filled the whole area and burned my eyes and nose. A hand forced my lips open and slashed it with something sharp. I screamed as another round of pain racked my body. The taste of blood filled my lips and flowed on my aching face. I could not move. I could not save myself.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">An unbearable heat came over me. The torches exposed their faces. Women who asked to make dresses and children who I taught to read laughed as they tortured me. They all became one and the sound of their laughter was the same.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Fire scorched my leg, taking my skin and breath. My lips were no more. The fire travelled up my legs and waist stripping me of my clothes and life. The flames were bright as it travelled upon me in beauty but pain. The rats squealed as it took them in their bright orange grasps. It slowly took me, but I was at peace. The laughter was now a mockery and the faces were no more. My breath slowly escaped my ruptured lips in short gasps, and before the darkness finally took me. I chose Jesus.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br />ReneeJ.

<i><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: blue;">Below is an excerpt of "The Arrangement," the story of an unhappy marriage.</span></i><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">"Our families made an agreement; my guess is my family offered more than the price of a new Mercedes. The wedding was as massive as a baseball game. we sat motionless, battling to maintain the gaze. Her mother's lace dress suited her. It would have been perfect without the scowl and the sadness in her eyes. Many passed and ran their hands along the dark Tuxedo, giving me sympathetic pats. Her fingers, when she touched me were filled with an unnatural force. An effort much appreciated but not necessary.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Kissing my bride made me uneasy, almost angry. Our lips touched and no chills ran down my spine. She gripped my neck and her fingernails dug into my skin, leaving an impression of fright and uncertainty. It travelled up to my face and left a scowl which can be seen years later. There was only one question racing through my mind during our kiss. If her middle name was pronounced Le-e-s-a or L-e-e-z-a.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">My bride needed a bit of flesh on her bones,her behind pressured my knees. She shifted her weight frequently as though she realized my discomfort. We smiled at the flashing camera lights, fake smiles cooed at by guests. Her fingers trembled around my neck and her eyes roamed all over, as though she was searching for an exit, a refuge, but she found none. We shared in that moment of sadness, momentarily hanging our heads in deep regret.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Sleep seemed to abandon me, and God’s hand kept me from punching her. The snores rose from her small lips and spun around the room. The little monsters settled before me, taunting and threatening to take me over. The pillow saved my ear, but morning refused to climb over the high, green mountains.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Crunching and chewing were the words exchanged around the dark wood table. She piled exceptionally prepared scrambled eggs on my plate, and slumped in the chair facing me.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">“Please pass me the toast Sal.” I asked her. Disgust and a look of poison decorated her face</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">“Sally please!” Her voice rose high and the monsters sat in the centre of the table. She knocked them away when she flung the bread, and we went back to our chewing.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We both had urges, but dared not touch each other. She tried to hide her sobs over the volume of the radio, but the painful sounds travelled down the stairs and took its place beside me.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We never thought to leave each other because of custom. She stopped going to women rallies, and her voice reduced to a whisper. Her legs got fuller, much to my glee, but the pretty white dresses diminished to pale house frocks.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Work became my solitude, no longer was the scowl plastered on my face and nobody asked about us. Evenings came too quickly, and we would sit under the glow of the lamplight chewing politely and wiping crumbs from our mouths. We slept like strangers, and tension crawled in the middle at nights.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">When the disease made its way into her, the uncertainty to hug her bothered me. She only sat in the couch and drank canned soups and found the weather channel interesting. The bills piled high, and my parents immediately removed that burden. Visitors piled into our living room. She looked beautiful and happy with her friends. However, mine seemed a burden and her jaws ached from smiling.</span><br />
