ELEMENTARY MASSACRE: OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.

Today in our country another great act of evil was done on the most innocent of our citizens. A gun man walked into an elementary school today and murdered 20 children between the ages of 5-10 and 6 adults in cold blood in Newtown Connecticut. The gunman murdered his own mother before driving to her place of employment and murdering these innocent young souls and the teachers that tried to protect them. 

As I mother I feel for the parents that are told that they will no longer be able to see the faces of their sweet children anymore. I hope up on all hope that these families will one day heal and that the children that witnessed this horror will also heal. Their nights will be filled with nightmares and pain and they will need to be helped and they will needed their parents to hold them and I hope that they will get the help they need to over come this act of horror. 

 This is a total act of evil that can not be explained. We will never know why this man went to this school and took out his rage, hate, and devilish act upon these sweet innocent children.  The holidays will be somber and not filled with the joy that it should have. Instead it will be filled with reflections on the short but bright lives of these children that were lost. It will be filled with prayers and hopes that something like this never happens again in this country were family is valued so much.

 I held my son and gave him a kiss and held back tears when I watched the news and saw the faces of the children crying and frighten...I will keep them in my prayers and I hope that you all pray for these families and the children that they have lost way too soon.

BOOKS AND WEBSITES NEW MOTHERS SHOULD CHECKOUT

  Being a new mother I can say is one of the scariest things in the world. You are now in charge of a new life. You are charged with the responsibility of making sure he/she is feed, cleaned, entertained and every need taken care of. Mind you because of the demands being placed on you by your new little bundle of joy you might feel that you have no time for yourself, and I would say that your right! For the first few months of your baby's life, your life is no longer your own. You sleep when he/she sleeps, you eat when you have time to sneak it in, and you finally take a shower when he/she takes a long nap. But it gets better and its well worth it. Eventually your little bundle starts sleeping thought   All of those demands and sleepless nights were something you thought you were prepared for, but when it finally came down to it you were totally wrong. Gone are helpful nurse's that would take your little one to the nursery when you wanted to take a nap. Gone are the extra...

RACISM AND "THE HEART OF DARKNESS"

Racism and "The Heart of Darkness" This essay was my own personal look at essays that explored racism in particular works and what accomplished authors had to say on the matter. Chinua Achebeā€™s essay ā€œAn Image if Africa: Racism in Conradā€™s Heart of Darknessā€, was written about the apparent racist undertone of Joseph Conradā€™s novel ā€œHeart of Darknessā€. The book takes us on a journey into the Congoā€™s and how Africans are described and treated in the time of European expansion and its thrust for ivory. Achebeā€™s attempts to explain to his readers why he thought the ā€œHeart of Darknessā€ and its author were both racist. Achebe proves his point by quoting parts of the novel that emphasized color over everything and the language that the author uses to describe the African natives was racist and unnecessary. As an example Achebe uses is Conradā€™s description of the African mistress in the novel and her European counterpart. ā€œShe was savage and superb, wild-eyed and magnific...
