Rain and Yoko Ono..

Hello!
What have you guys been up to?
I've been to Frankfurt for the weekend,writing a little bit for other blogs and talking on radio :)
Its rainy and cold at the moment.
SUMMER WE AWAIT YOU!!
I wrote a piece on Diasporan Darlings  called Love outside the colour lines ,from my personal experience.Let me know what you think!
I also wrote on my journey to my Grandfathers birthplace, doing a little self exploration.

Whilst in Frankfurt Big T, Fran Fran and I went to the Yoko Ono exhibit and I must say I was pleasantly surprised.Interactive art is so great!I got to know so much more about her then just her history with John Lennon!
I'm really glad I went,exhibits are not really my thing (I tend to yawn a lot and grow impatient with having to decipher what the  artist is trying to tell us!),but this one was very special indeed!I loved that there were so many pieces where you had to take part to experience her art.So much music she had done I did not know of.
I didn't know she had been married before John Lennon..
I didn't know she had a daughter before John Lennon
I didn't know she did ... I didn't think she had a life before John Lennon now that I come to think about it..
If you ever get a chance to see her exhibits then I highly recommend.
This link is for anyone thinking of leaving their job and doing their own thing.
I like it because she honestly talks about needing the structure of working in a company than just branching out, read and think about it!
For those that have no qualm's joking about race,this video made me laugh!
I really appreciate that you come to my blog and read it.I would love some feedback,let me know that you are a reader!
Loving you guys!
xoxo

Guilty biologist.


What happens when you ask your fear about something in particular questions?
You get to know a yourself more.
I have been feeling a lot of anxiety with school for the past three weeks or so.
Its been hard.Those that know me know what a journey this has been.
People are rooting for me,and I appreciate them.
I have been feeling a lot of apprehension about my studies though.

Stupid and happy.

I was chatting with a friend last week.
He expressed that life goes so fast,that the truth is ugly and that he wanted to be stupid and happy.
In a way I echoed his sentiments, to be young,wild and free.
To not know about the horror stories of this world,to not suffer disappointments,to not worry,
He feels tainted..and so do I sometimes.

My friend JC, we feel this way, so we can do better, so we can make better choices, choices that other  people have failed to make.
We have to let the static that clears our view (like the tree in this picture) and see the light shining through.
Lets not forget the sunshine and brightness that is there,its not all darkness.
I'd like to be wise and happy. I know JC would to.

Shallow is not just one end of a swimming pool!

Been listening to John Eldredge's podcasts and him and Craig have been discussing the quality of your relationships.
How you relate with people,and why you do it the way you do.
Are you the sort of person that engages fully into the conversation,is it a 50:50 sort of situation where you equally give and receive?

A bee.


Hey everybody!
Sorry to have been away for so long!Its been busy,been writing a little bit on a new blog targeted for women called Mukaintu , becoming a part of a great group of people that talk about different issues on Blog talk radio , doing my internship for my degree, and as of today taking a nice carefree walk to enjoy the weather.Its official,spring is here!
This is only half of what I have been doing.Been a busy little bee and I have loved it.....mostly because of giving myself permission to be me.Yup,I love doing this kind of stuff and I do not feel bad anymore about doing it!
I still love sharing my thoughts with you over here so I will keep doing it!
Happy Sunday!
Remember.....give yourself permission to heal,to love and most of all to just be!

Round bottoms.


Trying to fit in..
trying to fit my round bottom into a square hole..which is a tad small..(quickly shift away from the round bottom)...just hurts.Trying to fit in..
Striving to fit in,to be a part of the pack,to be as cool..or as nonchalant..or as funny with THAT type of humor.
News flash...you wont.You will not fit in.
