Daily Inspiration: Maya Angelou on OWN

Peace Family,

Just in case you didn't catch it and, if you did, here is a repeat of Oprah's interview with Maya Angelou. Here is my fave quote from the video:

"Don't you know I'm a child of God?!" Maya Angelou

Simple right? I don't know about you, but sometimes I have to remember that when faced with people's unfair treatment of me and even my unfair treatment of other people. We are all God's children.

Peace Family,

I want to preface this by saying that I do these posts as much for me as I do for you all to read. These are words that inspire and motivate me as well. I hope they are a blessing to you.

Schools Out! For Summer!!

Peace Family,

I write to you in the best of moods because school is out!! Yea, Hooray! Well, I still have one class left but hey I'm celebrating early lol. I have so many things I want to do this summer, books I want to read, restaurants I want to visit, exercises I want to do, and the list goes on and on. But mostly I am looking forward to not having to live life so fast paced. I've been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off for the last year and I'm tired. I just want to do some things that I enjoy and that make me feel alive. Don't get me wrong I looove school and I'm totally in love with the work I've been doing but the schedules and due dates have gotten the best of me and I feel I need a rest. So, I've planned to thoroughly enjoy this summer and make it really productive before I begin my last year of my masters degree this September. Woo! time flies :) What are your plans for the summer? Feel free to leave them below. I'll talk to you all in the next post and trust me it will be very soon :)

Blessings,

Flavored Water

Peace Family,

I wanted to share this quick and easy alternative to drinking plain water. I understand that beginning to drink water can be a struggle for some and for those who drink water regularly, it can get a little boring and tasteless. I find the easiest way to keep it spicy and add a little flavor to my water is to add fruit. I keep frozen fruit in my fridge for smoothies and added a few orange slices left over from a snack. Add it all together and you have a very refreshing drink. Oranges have high levels of Vitamin C are really good this time of year when cold and flu germs are all over the place and strawberries are full of antioxidants. Try it and let me know what you think in the comments below. What kind of fruit do you like in your water?

Until next time,

I Bought a Kindle!

If you know  me personally you know this is a huge deal. First off I`m cheap. Secondly, I'm ok at best with technology. With that being said, my bday is the fourteenth so I decided to put my recent overtime to use and treat myself. I write to you fresh out of class over a panini and tomato soup at panera. Below is pic to prove it! lol You can look forward to many more posts from me. Hopefully you won't get sick of me:)

Peace and light,
