My homework..check out my poem, We Love!

    My Professor sent out assignments and I completed this in less than 30 minutes. I received so many comments about the feelings my words made them feel..what do you think? No one has really read my thoughts and I am sharing them with you! (Make sure to read the poem, I wrote it a day before our 10 year/ 5 year anniversary)

Generate a list reflecting the categories with which you identify. Complete the statement: “I am a(n) ___,” rather quickly 20 times in the spaces provided below. Do not think too long about your responses as no answers are right or wrong.  
  
1. I am a(n) mother.
2. I am a(n) wife.  

3. I am a(n) great human being.  

4. I am a(n) animal lover.  

5. I am a(n) teacher

6. I am a(n) listener.  

7. I am a(n) daughter.  

8. I am a(n) independent learner.  

9. I am a(n) Rastafari. 

10. I am a(n) open mind. 

11. I am a(n) wombman. 

12. I am a(n) kind heart. 

13. I am a(n) woman of the Universe. 

14. I am a(n) aspiring writer. 

15. I am a(n) beautiful creation. 

16. I am a(n) goal achiever.           

17. I am a(n) example for society. 

18. I am a(n) giver. 

19. I am a(n) granddaughter. 

20. I am a(n) guided light. 

When you have finished, divide your responses according to the underlying categories you are able to recognize. This strategy can help you gain a picture of the image you have of yourself.       

1. Human Being

2. Lover

3. Goodness

2) Write a poem or song about your diversity and/or culture:



 There is a whisper in the wind, I can recognize a sound like mine
A tingle from within, I still recognize the sound like mine
My daughters just won’t know, until I enlighten their awareness and show,
Them the greatness within themselves, just like mine.

Clean your room and do your best in school is my favorite line,
Brush your teeth and make your bed one more time.
"I love you Honey, you being the best husband is far too kind"
The gratefulness I unleash because I know these things are far more than just mine.

And then we Love, we realize that mine is not mine but that we are we, and then we love.
Love is really all we need in this lifetime, and then we love!

Last Week Before Summer Begins-

Hello Lovers!!!

First let me begin by saying, "Hey Ya'll!". If you've wonder where I have been hiding, I'm here to tell you I decided to live off the grid for a few months. Sometimes there are obstacles in our life that have to be followed through and the "outside" influence does not need to be an option.

Do you realize that we posses everything within us to be everything outside of us?

There have been so many dreams and interests I wrote down to accomplish and I couldn't check them off. I know you have a checklist somewhere too. I woke up one morning and realized I was giving so much of my talent and blessing away and not spending more time receiving any blessings. Sound familiar?

Anywho.. I realized that I have the best advantage of being a mother. I can look at my children and see what can be fixed for their future, and in return I will be fixing my own loose ends at the same damn time. Summer here in Miami-Dade begins June 6th and I am ready for the challenge with my children being home. Are you ready Parents? (Get the wine now for grown up time ladies)

All this school year we have shipped our children off to learn how to be apart of society and the challenge this summer is to show our children how to be apart of life. By example of course. I have enrolled my girls in an online summer school program (email me for more info) and also they are still practicing the art of karate. I am also being more firm and rising the bar of expectations. What do you think?

Take some time and think of a few ways you can follow out with your challenge. In the comments let's share some examples of what you have planned. Also share some great summer programs for children this year. Email me because I junked my cell phone to prove to myself I am still alive without being electronically connected lol dominiqueleblu@gmail.com #Life #Music #Education #LeBlu

They are our future.
