Occupation: HS Special Ed Reading Teacher (also have a degree in elementary education and English 7-12)
Children: One fur baby - Millie (cat)
I have three beautiful nieces and one nephew (hence the abundance of children's books)
Hobbies: I love to laugh and be in the company of good people. Not only do I enjoy reading, but I love to journal and write actual letters. When the mood strikes, I tend to scrapbook. I enjoy taking photos and going on adventures. I'm outgoing and will try anything once as long as I am 100% certain I will not die. :P
Barefoot Stroll by Mariahadessa Ekere Tallie
I want to walk barefoot
in a place where barefoot has no name
in a place where soul on Earth
is natural
a place where toes in soil
is common as
true love
laughter
and birth.
I want to walk barefoot
in the hills of a hidden holy land
and stare at sunsets with people who
know sunrise isn't guaranteed
in a place where the evening news speaks of tides,
the waning moon and rainforests wild as Oya's dance
in a place where shoe and umbrella are curse words
where dahlias and pearls adorn every head.
I want to walk barefoot
in cities without streets
where admiration is a deep silence
and conversations are replaced by the eloquence of eyes
barefoot in a place
where excuses are not enforced in law books
where there is no law
only that which is right.
When these places leave tracks
I follow their footsteps
but they always lead me to the sands
of my own spirit
I stand in the middle of myself
bowing to the Mecca I know
the sight of me
strolling barefoot
into my own life
leaving behind thieves and tyrants
trying to control it.]]>27femaleMyerstown, PA06/200912/200916200200true5828808read0true5297652currently-reading0true5297651to-readForever (Paperback) by Judy Blume]]>
