Universal human moments

Never knowing where the next day will leave me; and wisely aware of the importance of not committing myself absolutely to any plans; I hopped on a plane last night to LA. I didn't mention it except to a couple of folks and since I've been here have been utterly enjoying myself doing il bey far niente.

I'm reading Eat Pray Love and this excerpt really stands out to me:

"When I get lonely these days, I think: So be lonely, Liz. Learn your way around loneliness. Make a map of it. Sit with it, for once in your life. But never again use another person's body or emotions as a scratching post for your own unfulfilled yearnings."

The human experience is universal, and I must say that this sentiment parallels my current existence.

Time heals all wounds babe!

Guess I got my swagga back/Mama they said that I killed the man but I guess I got my dagger back. Keira's back in the heazy!

1. So the ex I was mourning over married someone else last weekend that he met a few months ago. This news actually helped drastically speed up the healing process. Ex who? Thanks Wifey - you just saved my life.
2. This is the part where I look back and see what my lesson was; and the part where God whispers that if I didn't get the lesson I get to take the remedial course. Uhm, got it God. Thanks... Can the next class be about manifesting a splendid amount of wealth?
3. Still going through a major growth spurt... at work; as a parent; as a woman.
4. I'm taking a lover...
5. Okay already Billary. Can't we all just get along? My cat can predict that Obama is our candidate already! We still love you the same.
6. Everytime these natural disasters strike, I vow to one day work for the United Nations. I even go online and see what jobs they're hiring for. I swear, one day - I'm going to take a season and give all of myself to help aid people struggling without food, clothes and shelter.
7. My son has a girlfriend. Did I mention she has big boobs? Lawd help me Jesus.
8. Am I the only one who thinks that the people at poetry night are way too serious? I can't even keep a straight face because everyone's so deep. Kind of like when people feel the Holy spirit at church. Or when someone farts in yoga class. Oops. Is that just me too?
9. My Passport is on the way and I am leaving the country! Going to the Dominican Republic with some friends. And if ya didn't know, now ya know: It is the oldest colony in the New World discovered by Christopher Columbus's brother; the other half of the island is Haiti; in the Carribbean between Venezuela and Jamaica; settled by the Spanish; and they have great drinks and I'm going to try them all in one night while wearing a bikini, fedora, and stilletos!
10. Hugs and kisses.
