Chapter Five: Cape Mount

-

On New Year's Eve we rented a van and went to Grand Cape Mount( Robertsport specifically). The town where my maternal Grandmother and my Father are from. I was so excited about the trip because this would be my first full day on a beach. It was so beautiful, a welcome change from Monrovia. On the left side of the road you would hills covered by what is best to described as jungle. Then to the right is crystal clear water of Lake Piso. The road leading up to Robersport is rough, tons of pot holes.
We visited Nana's Louge and had lunch by Lake Piso(which really is a lagoon). After lunch we had a boat ride on Lake Piso where we got to see the Richard's Island(yes my Aunt's family owns an island). I just love being by water, is has a calming effect on the soul. Drinking wine while you place your feet in the water makes all the hard times in life just go away. I did not go swimming because the African waves are extremely rough. I just went a little bit in and water was reaching up to my Capri. It was an excellent way to spend the New Year. As to how I rang in the new year, I was literally stuck in mud. The good news is we got out, really the year can't be more difficult than that.

Few months ago I posted my first Feminist Wednesday video. Feminist Wednesday is a day I celebrate a female artist who makes me proud to be a female. Today I am celebrating the magnificent P!nk. My word when I think I can't love P!nk anymore than I do, she goes and does this. Can we talk for a minute about her flawless performance at this year's AMA. That is how you perform live folks. Here for your viewing pleasure is the powerful video for her second single off The   Truth about Love.

Moving on, starting fresh

I DID IT! I graduated college! All the sleepless nights, pulling of the hair and crying myself to sleep have paid off, I now have my college diploma. Now that I have ended one successful chapter in my life I am looking forward to embarking on the next one. I am looking forward to igniting the flame inside of me and turning it into a full blown bonfire. I am not sure what the future holds but I cannot wait to find out. When I was five I never thought I was going to live in Tunisia or Mozambique for that matter. I never would have imagined that if I put my mind to it I could study abroad in Australia nor did i think I would go to college in upstate New York. I have done so pretty much amazing things but I still want to do more. I want to see the world, get touched spiritually and emotionally by incredible individuals, hopefully bring joy to all of those around me, laugh more, cry less, regret less, write more, cook more and live each day to its fullest. In effort to start anew I have d

He doesn't even need to ask

-
Over a month ago, I watched the absolutely beautiful My Own Private Idaho . I had a bit of a revelation after watching the film. Which is kind of interesting because it has nothing to do with the themes that were brought up in the film. If you have not watched My Own Private Idaho , I suggest that you check it out. It is hauntingly beautiful and River Phoenix is such a beautiful soul. Anyways, back to the topic of my post. I was thinking about how beautiful Keanu Reeves looked in the movie and how he could seriously get it. Jokingly I said to myself that "he doesn't even need to ask". Then a light bulb went off in my head. What exactly was I insinuating by that remark. Was I suggesting that because he was so attractive he does not need to ask for my permission to have sexual relations with me? After much thought, I realized that was what I was suggesting. As someone who considers themselves to be a feminist, this revelation hit me like a ton of bricks. I was completely
