Monday Morning News

Although Monday is almost over and done with (hello Tuesday), I wanted to do my first Monday Morning News with you.  As you can see, the blog has a different look...again.

My pages were updated too.  This is my favorite!

I love the color pink, and zebras are my favorite
(hence the blog name).

I love anything Paris
(as in France, not Hilton).

Coffee is wonderful.
Period.

I wear my hair natural, and I'm growing it out.


Mary J. Blige should be the queen of the world!

Frogs wig me out.

I love style.
my greatest look is learning to love this body of my own.
(I choke on this pill just about every morning, but hey at least it goes down sometimes! Glass of water anyone?).


Vintage is epic.


Music is always required

(This comes in all different types of shapes and sizes:
Amos Lee to Kanye West).


I'm hood enough to rock wit' The Boondocks, but gentle enough to wipe away my son's tears.
(If you have to ask what anything in the first part of that sentence means, you just need to leave it alone and continue reading!).


I love using exclamation points simply because i love them, and because I can!


I'm not in it for the numbers, but for the thrill.


Sometimes I spell check, sometimes I don't.
So What?!
(Its MY blog anyway...just sayin').


I think this is a good look for me.

Back at the Keyboard

I promise that I'm alive, and back at the keyboard.  Over the past few months (the last time I blogged was back in June) I have been through some difficult, trying, and tumultous times.  I've also had my share of great moments as well.

The lyrics to an Amos Lee song say's I've Learned a lot, and although Lee was talking about love, I can apply the lyrics to my life.  I've had significant health problems, trouble adjusting to a classroom setting (no more online education), and I've had a friendship come to an end.

At the same time I've learned how to heal, love, and trust.  I've made career decisions that positively impacted my education, I've learned acceptance, but I've also learned power, and I'm learning style.
 
Overall, there has been much harmony and much chaos. 

Now that the pruning is over, I'm able to pick back up somethings I've had to let go of, blogging included. 

I'm so appreciative of the fact that y'all have not given up on my blog.  I don't have all the kinks worked out yet, but I plan on blogging more regularly.  I pinky promise!

Happy Monday!
