Summer Reading

I have been reading quite a bit of fiction this summer but one of the books that stood out for me was one called, Angelology by Danielle Trusson. Angelology took a few pages for me to get into, but once I got into it I could not put it down. This book is a thriller packed with action. Angelology is a book about a group of Angelologist in the 1930's who have hidden a lyre from the Fallen Angels who want this lyre for the abilities that it holds. As time goes by Sister Evangeline has been drawn into the mystery of recovering the lyre that was hidden by the Angelologist of the 1930's, and who the Fallen Angels still want to retrieve. This book is a thrilling and wonderful read. You will be surprised by its outcome as it plays out.

The other book that I have started reading is Last Rituals:An Icelandic Novel of Secret Symbols, Medieval Witchcraft, and Modern Murder by Yrsa Sigurdardottir. It takes place in Iceland and a wealthy families son has been murdered. the family is not satisfied with the suspect that has been sentenced for the death of their son. Amelia Guntlieb hires Thora Gudmundsdottir, a Lawyer. Accepting the case from Amelia, Thora is handed over the case from where investigator Matthew Reich leaves off. So, far its interesting. I'll be blogging back again on whether or not I liked this book or not.











All I have to say about this book is that if you have not read it please do. This is definitely a must read. I love the way that his words flow like prose. I was on an emotional roller coaster ride with his character mariam, and I think you will be too.

Genuine Friendship

My car broke down on me last week, and I'm glad that my job is close by that I can walk to work. So, for four days I didn't have to catch a bus to take babygirl to school and then come way back on my side of town to go to work and then do it all again just to go get her. She stayed with grandma. My job from my house is two miles away, so I walked it to and from. Walking doesn't bother me I'm used to it just ddon't do it much since I've had the car. Well on the way to work one morning I'm enjoying my walk to work, and I noticed a red truck slow down and the guy turned his truck around and got out and said, 'Hi my name is Lorenzo and I thought you where so attractive I wanted to give you my number. You got a boyfriend.' Now why does this only happen when I'm walking and not driving? I told him my name and told him no I didn't have a boyfriend. Flattered by the attention. Made my day a little brighter. I took his number and still have it in my purse. Have not called him yet. I appreciated the way he got out of his truck and spoke to me, I don't like guys who talk to you from there car, makes the whole meeting feel cheap. Nice looking man in his late 30's early 40's.

So, why have I not called this man? Well, I'm in transition with my life spiritually right now, putting together my poetry book, and the last thing I need is a brother to throw me off my transition. I don't need a boyfriend, I just need a friend, platonic. That word just hurt alot of men's ears. Platonic. Yeah, I said it and I meant it. When I'm ready to hook up with someone I need a MAN, not a boyfriend, don't have time to play with anybody. Just need someone here right now who is on the same vibration and wave link that I am, who will be here for me to talk too when I need to talk, scream , cuss, cry, whatever it may be. I LOVE men, but I have to focus on me, and babygirl, and friends are all that I need at this point right now. Lorenzo was looking for a girlfriend, because he kept asking me did I have a boyfriend.

Second, I'm scared. I've been married several times, so what I know is being married. It's been a long time since I did this dating thing, and at this point and time really don't want too. I rather have a genuine friendship with a guy, if that still exist, and get to learn about him that way, then to date him. I've always thought of dating as being really superficial. When the time is right things will work itself out for me, it always does.

Unmasked - Imani Muhammad

I try to write about things other than love
Trying to stay away from love
I’m still looking for someone to ignite that true passion that is locked within me
Holding back unshed tears from heartbreaks past
While I keep reminding myself of the lesson from each relationship
Because if I let the tears fall they would begin to heal a wounded heart
I can’t take the pain from the love that I gave that was misused and ill placed
I should cry
I know I should cry
But I can’t take anymore unbearable pain
So, I throw up shields or should I say facades that mask the pain
Then I met you and became consumed with your energy of visions and dreams that confused me
And then you perplexed me more by referring to me as ‘your like my better half ‘
We just met and yet I feel in tune and locked to your rhythm
Your rhythm of energy
Now finding myself helping to heal your hurt soul
But in dreams years ago
I

SAW

YOU

Or at least I think
Feeling connected and at one with you
Opening up my wounds and facades
Loving how you call me Queen
Unmasking the pain
Healing the wounds with salted tears

Spiritual Dating

There are dating sites online that cater to whatever one is looking for. I found a dating site online catered to those of us who are spiritual looking for others who are also spiritual. This site is for spiritual, conscious people looking for other spiritual, conscious people.
