A Woman's best friend: Life UPDATE Part 1 2016-present

I can't believe it has been over a year since I posted here. I am so so sorry. So many things have happened in the past year. I moved apartments, states, law schools, and got a puppy. It is official. Once I finish my last final next Friday I will be a 3L.  Coincidentally, I did not know if I would be saying this so soon after what happened a couple of months ago. My former law school the Charlotte Law School got into so much trouble with the government that I did not feel confident I could trust the school itself with my legal education,so I left this past December. The transition was difficult. Colleagues, friends, and classmates all torn apart in the blink of an eye. I continue to believe that I am blessed. I found a school that accepted me and everything I came with. Everything works out how it is supposed to because now I am confident that this school and its network will place me on the trajectory necessary for me to be the best advocate I can be. To back track, I got a...

Be Limitless

Just viewed the Christmas Day service live online from my from my home church in GA and the message was... Don't be afraid of who you are, Embrace how God made you, and live without limits because like Rudolph the Red nose reindeer you may be teased and talked about, but then you are called to save the day doing something that only you can do, it its you that will go down in history. This message hit home with me because I am unique among those that know me. I have mild Cere bral Palsy, I use assistive technology to walk and get around,I AM BLACK, well traveled, a Latin honor graduate of the  ‪#‎ 1HBCU‬  Spelman College, A Teach for America Alum, a first Generation College student, and now I am a law student. I embrace all the aspects of who I am. I am God's child who is blessed and highly favored. There have been many people who do not think I should be pursuing the path that I am on. They are afraid that it is too much for me to handle, or that I won't ever make it to th...

When it rains it Pours

As some of you may or may not know in April 2015 I was in a very serious car acciendent that has left my life in shambles. I have lost so many things that I worked hard to earn. For example, My brand new handicap modified truck, 5 pay checks and the chance to recieve summer optional pay. which is a lost of almost $10,000 that I was going to use to move, and  It is because I do not have a car that I do not have a way to secure a summer job to try and recover lost funds. My roommates have moved, so I have no transportation.  I have also lost my lawyer and insurance benefits because of the high front end cost of legal fees. I had a plan that was flushed down the toilet. I believe that there is God with a son named Jesus that died for my sins, and he promised to always care and protect me. I know that I will make it to law school. The only thing standing in my way is securing housing in Boston. Im selling mostly everything that I own but that wont be enough. I am raising money to ...

Rebirth 6/6/14

So, its been a long time since I have written one of these. Lately I have had the urge to write. As I sit here and type this blog I am filled with of many emotions. The biggest of these emotions is fear. The antidote for fear is movement. With that being said, there is nothing to fear but fear it self. The Lord says: Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;  in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. I have struggled with this Proverb my entire life. Trust. Trusting someone other than myself to do what needs to be done for me. It is right now that I realize that my trust issues stem for the thought of me being the only person in the world exactly like me.     I know that sounds crazy because no two people are the exact same, but in most cases people are able to find kindred spirits that are a  similar type of person. I realize too that this belief may be ill informed, but fr...
