I Am Here

I am a boisterous river
I am a mountains story

I am a quiet feeling

I am a fragrant flower

I am a moonlit evening

I am a peaceful night

I am a writers thinking

I am a wealth unfathomed

And if you don’t recognize my presence, I am here

And if you don’t recognize me, I am here
I am a source of power

I am excited journey

I am the rock of patience

I am a whisper singing

I am unbridled freedom

I am the thought from thinking

I am a love unshattered

I am the great orgasm
And if you don’t recognize my presence, I am here

And if you don’t recognize my presence, I am here
And even if you don’t recognize me, I‘m still here

And even if you don’t recognize me
And even if you don’t recognize me, I‘m still here

And even if you don’t recognize me, I am, oh, I’m still here
Even if you don’t recognize me, I’m here, I’m here, I’m here

Saving the Salsa

A few months ago, my dad called me and told me he had cancer. Never one to be lacking in articulation, at that moment I had nothing to say. He assured me everything was going to be fine. He has great doctors and they caught it early, all the things that you want to hear to give you hope, but does any of that make you feel better when you first get this life changing news? I tried to be a good daughter and not get too emotional on the phone. I asked a few probing questions about the plan of action for his treatment and his symptoms. I basically tried to keep the conversation as logical as possible, while on the inside I felt like I was melting. My dad and I have not had a conventional relationship. A product of teen pregnancy, I felt like I spent most of my early years watching my parents grow up and become adults rather, than looking to them for guidance. My daddy and I... well we have grown together in our own way. He was never one to stress me about grades or school. He just knew I ...

I have spent so much time expending energy to be Something different Something specific Something other than me I went around in huge circles, octagons and triangles Only to arrive at square one My swagga was/ is a thing of beauty Like Ms. Hill said You just lost one  I can reinvent myself over and over again Change me look Switch up my style Return within my self and spin Change up colors Go up and down a size But at the end of the day My prize remains inside. I'm a little old school But I get brand new at times I gotta sick flow And a sexy sharp mind Not sure if you see that Not concerned if you believe that You'd be a fool not to agree that  I... AM ...ONE OF A KIND - Lauren Liburd

The Evolution Of...

The Mirriam-Webster Dictionary defines Evolution as "a process of continuous change from a lower, simpler, or worse to a higher, more complex, or better state : growth (2) : a process of gradual and relatively peaceful social, political, and economic advance"   We are ever-evolving, ever-changing beings. Life is a process and a journey. I am sure we have heard this before but to really grasp the concept of managing (as much as is in your control) your journey through life and always maintaining the attitude of gratitude is a HUGE. Anywho, I have committed to writing an entry every day to document the process of designing my shoes and the concept of evolution came to mind. I started out just with a love, documenting the shoes that I had or wanted to purchase. The stories turned into this blog, which is my external self therapy. The blog turned into the Facebook page with a challenge of finding the most visually stimulating shoes that I could find. The Fac...
