Digital storyteller, Photographic narrator, Hogwarts alum. In real life, I write things. I speak fluent sarcasm. I'm unintentionally funny. My favorite thing is food. Guac is life. I'm a fountain of the most random information. I'm pretty, only because it's weird to call oneself beautiful. I'm weird in all the good ways. I live in the greatest city on Earth. I was Sasha before Beyonce was schizophrenic. My life is stranger than fiction. But please, don't take my word for it. My pen is mightier than my sword. Instagram

Showers of blessing, showers of blessing we need... Well hellooooo there! I feel like I haven't done this in a long time. Maybe that's just because so much has happened. But I'm getting ahead of myself. First and foremost, I'd just like to say to everyone who can see this who was affected by hurricane sandy that my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Those who lost power, property, loved ones, I can't imagine what that's like. The worst I experienced during the hurricane were flickering lights but when things like this happen, it really puts life into perspective. There are people who are complaining about losing power for a few hours when others don't know where their next meal is coming from or where they'll be sleeping tonight. But God is real, don't stop believing in Him. On the subject of perspective, I've been getting a lot of it lately. Even in the wake of tragedy, I've had an amazing past couple of weeks. I have way too much to be thankful for to sit around moping. So I took a trip down south 2 weeks ago and it was a nice break from the city and everything and everyone and I enjoyed just slowing down and being with my family. Plus, I got inspired again and I came back like I had a personal vendetta against life so I've been kicking ass at just about everything. Excuse me while I toot my own horn.... Last weekend, I finally saw my favorite poet (amongst others) live and it was just...words can't describe the experience so I won't even try. But it was a great night. And this week, in the midst of sandy and all her wrath, I got another story published. So I'm excited. Because it seems like there is no end to God's blessings. And because the story was awesome: On a busy street in Lefferts Gardens, amidst the hustle and bustle of Flatbush Avenue lies a culinary gem. A representation of all of the cultures that surround it, Mangoseed is a culmination of everything good in the Caribbean with an American twist. While dollar vans rumble by outside and neighbors call out to one another, reminiscent of many Caribbean islands, the inside of Mangoseed with its dark wood, mellow music and cool but cozy atmosphere is a haven for anyone looking for some affordable grub that reminds them of home.

Also, I did plan to have clips out the ass the semester so I'm proud of myself for following through, especially because there were so many times it seemed like I would get got by procrastination. But I digress. Another thing I'm thankful for are the unexpected surprises in my life because it's just proving to me how funny life really is. I guess it's true what they say, man makes plans and God laughs. But if He's enjoying laughter at my expense, I'm thankful all the same. Labels: anomaly, real life amazing |
