Where Did All These People Come From?

Today at Morgan State University the first day of the spring semester began. As I walked through the normal walkways of the campus I was bombarded with an overwhelming crowd of people. Now I have to say that while I was annoyed from the rain, I was pleasantly surprised by the new selection of young black men. There were beautiful men everywhere, but that is a whole 'nother post lol. It was good however to see more black people making an effort to get an education even in this economy. It seems like nowadays, getting a trade and going to work immediately are most people's options because of money.
Education is such an important component of success and I'm relieved and overjoyed that more African American men and women are making it a priority. My classes so far seem pretty OK, but since it is only day one I do not have an accurate view on how the semester's going to turn out. But don't worry I'll keep you posted;)

PYT of the Week;)


One of my favorite books is Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. So when I heard the book was brought to the big screen I was there. When I saw Micheal Ealy I almost died. He had the most refreshing swag, and dazzaling eyes. This man needs no introduction because that is how fine he really is. So my PYT for the week is none other then Mr. Micheal Ealy!!!

Happy Birthday Alex!!!!

It was my dear friend Alex Ngonga's birthday last friday, and I just had to give a public display of affection towards my wonderful and dearest friend!!!Love you Alex XOXOXO

15 Pounds Lighter and Feeling Fabulous;)


Hello all!! I weighed in yesterday and I have officially lost 15 pounds!!! The fast is not only helping me spiritually but its changing my body inside and out. Working out and eating right truly go hand in hand. The fast is teaching me how to rely on Christ and how to have self control. I still have 15 pounds more to lose to reach my goal of losing 30 pounds, but I'm on my way. The features in my face like my cheekbones and bone structure are coming out even more. Very soon I will reach my goal. Hopefully just in time for the cherry blossum festival:)

Day 4 is NOT a good day....


I attend Miracle Temple Seventh-Day Adventist Church and right now we are currently doing a 40 day fast. We are fasting from meat, dairy, sugar and refined products.Now this fast has different requirements for each week, and we are currently on week one. This week, all we consume is 100% juice and that is it. This has to be the absolute hardest week because it requires no eating at all. It is untill you lose something so vital that you realize how important it is to you. My life revolves around food and I never realized it until now. Everything I do requires eating because food is what makes everyone happy. I have to admit I have been dreaming about burritos and nachos, but I feel like I will be letting everyone down if I go and indulge in the foods I want most. Completing this fast will help my relationship and my understanding with Christ so if I fail in any way I will be letting everyone including myself down. I just have to remember, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me:)
