Changez

Hello friends and family. If you are like me, you have cried about, laughed because of, denied the need for, and finally accepted the reality of some recent changes. I came to the States in February with nothing more than a week's worth of clothes and the hope of returning in a month. 5 (almost 6) months later I am preparing to transition to life in the states. That's right...I'm baaaacccckkkkk. As exciting as it is heartbreaking, it just felt like this is where God wants me for now. And I'm finally okay with it. In fact, once I accepted this as the way things were going to be, the flood gates opened and I was immediately able to get a car, a new job in the Charlotte, NC area, and a new apartment...all within 2 weeks. I can't say I am super excited to leave behind, at least for now, my nomadic ways, but I can say I will enjoy bringing this new me back "home" and seeing how my new prespective will impact a new set of students in a new city. I have been ...

About Recognizing How Easily Any of Us Could Succumb to Cult Mentality....

Hello friends and family! I equate online classes to having to create extended sub plans, with video lessons. This would be more manageable if I didn't have 4 different preps...but this is just one of the joys of working in a small school. It has been about month since we took school online and I am feeling unable to concentrate. SO, naturally, I've found myself with a lot of time to procrastinate and think about non-important things. :-) Let's get to the point. The title for this post may be misleading, but I woke up a few days ago and was unreasonable interested in cults and cult leaders. I am not even sure how it started, but I somehow ended up looking into Jim Jones and later the Rajnesh. I found it weird that people would be so easily swayed to follow a god-like figure and be so enamored the thought of murder/suicide would be nothing more than an act of obedience. On the outside looking in, I was shook by the absurd level of hero wo...

Losing and Grieving

The past couple of months have been a difficult time for me. Before i get into my woes, I want to preface this post with a disclaimer: I am not, nor have I ever been an overly emotional person incapable of controlling my emotions. In fact, I often get accused of being cold and unfeeling...too logical. My mom told me, when she dies, she wants ME to pull the plug because I'm levelheaded and "logical" and will do the right thing... I wanted to tell her that I do feel, I just do it quietly and alone. I wanted to tell her, I shut down when having to deal with things that overwhelm me emotionally, no because I can't feel, but because it hurts too much to dwell in it. I wanted to tell her, that I am not the strong, aloft robot she thinks I am, who would struggle to "pull the plug" that officially ends her mothers life...but I didn't. Instead, I awkwardly tried to change the subject to troubles I'd recently been having with Hulu and an email I'd ...
