Moving to Berwyn, Illinois on MLK Day – Fingers Crossed!
Someone picked me!
So someone did pick me for a roommate after all and I’ll be moving to the township of Berwyn, Illinois. Which is in the Chicago land area and also about 15 minutes depending on traffic to Dominican University where I’ll be going to getting my Master’s Degree in Social Work. I can’t wait to move and start my new life. Thanks to everyone that helped me find a place and I can’t wait to meet a bunch of twitter folks in the non-digital world. I have a feeling I’ll be posting a lot more about my adventures in the big city.
So stay tuned!!
Guess who’s moving!! And I need your help!
I figured this might help me find a roommate near Dominican University. You can use my contact page to get a hold of me.

Zen Parable
I’ve seen a variety of connotations of the story below, but every time I think of it I feel comforted. It helps me stay in the present moment where we are most productive. Check it out below:
There was once a man who was being chased by a ferocious tiger across a field. At the edge of the field there was a cliff. In order to escape the jaws of the tiger, the man caught hold of a vine and swung himself over the edge of the cliff. Dangling down, he saw, to his dismay, there were more tigers on the ground below him. And, furthermore, two little mice were gnawing on the vine to which he clung. He knew that at any moment he would fall to certain death. That’s when he noticed a wild strawberry growing on the cliff wall. Clutching the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other and put it in his mouth.
He never before realized how sweet a strawberry could taste.
So when I’m thinking about “what if” or “what could have been” I try to think of that strawberry and it usually helps. I hope it helps you too.
My site is back!!!
Thanks to some jerky hacker my site got hacked for a little while. Sorry for the inconvenience. I didn’t know I was so hack worthy, but apparently I am. What a truly awful experience being hacked by someone, but onward and upward my friends.
The show must go on!! This is from my Mom’s wonderful choir at Harlem High School!
This is footage from my Mom’s choir “Harlem Choraleers” the camera filming has a very high ISO (it does well taking video in the dark), just keep that in mind while watching the following clip.
You could barely see anyone with the naked eye.
