friends...

it seems in my life i have shyed away from the cheesy title of "friends"...in elementary school all the way up to high school i had many friends but few experiences with the girly moments of "your not my friend anymore..." in college i gained great friendships but i never seemed to look at them in that term. i guess i have viewed that term in a somewhat negative or shallow light. instead of friendship...i love to think of relationships. never the less, i had an experience last night that changed my thinking of friendship. i don't know the magnitude of friedships in others lives...but mine has been changed. we not only need relationships....but friendships. have a good one.

just sitting here in my prep hour, eating a cliff bar and pondering on the irony of my life. i am in gilbert, arizona...teaching high school...living with amazing roomates...whew...my life is different than what was planned. but i won't assume that it is not the better plan, though i have yet to see the end or even the middle of this experience. as for my classes, i love them. i played bee gees in technology today...good times. not a bad monday. at least for now...

Jessica's "Daily Affirmation"

...A changed life is a Choice...I am Changed.

alycesun clare...a blogger...HA you would say, right? Well, there is a beginning for everyone. This is mine. Truthfully its a beginning for alot of things. Knowing the pressure of so many years of missing out on this part of life, I needed to start mine with a "Bang". What better way then to share a part of my heart of Africa. Africa...just wrtiting it makes my heart ache. some may know of this feeling. my heart has been aching alot these days. Why is it then, when we feel as if nothing could match the pain that we have felt in life, something comes and pushes it even farther? hmmm another topic for another day. As for this video the essence of this is to share the turning point in my life. I discovered myself. Or perhaps I found myself again. Sounds cheesy...it is. But it dosen't change the truth of it. Enjoy.
