The Special One

There was a child emotionally unavailable
But intellectually he was quite capable
He memorized every book on the shelf
But always kept quietly, all to himself.
To be misunderstood was unescapable

This child had an IQ of a hundred eighty
At 6, he explained the theory of relativity
He was said to be on the spectrum
As he marched to his own drum
He was a genius but had no human empathy

When a child’s mind is wired differently
We have to proceed ever so gently
A mind so brilliant, usually lacks emotion
Normal triggers to him is like an explosion
So we listen and watch him intently

A beautiful mind has much to offer us
Even if at normal things it tends to fuss
We need to protect and nurture that mind
For, after all, he is still of our very own kind
A thing we really shouldn’t have to discuss

There is a skill that I believe everyone needs.

This skill is easy enough to use. You don’t have to build anything, read anything, study anything, or even put any complex thought in it whatsoever.

This skill will open your mind, heart , and soul to a new way of dealing with and tackling problems. This skill makes you healthier indirectly through positive vibes. This skill can put you in a meditative state close to instantly and will last as long as you have the time. That skill is…

Stopping to smell the “roses”.

Just slowing down, closing your eyes and thinking of absolutely nothing but the smell can do wonders. I say roses because what you are smelling may not be roses. It may be mint, cinnamon, or even Rosemary. Just replace roses with whatever you have.

There is a problem with society. We are away from nature. We forced ourselves away. We came from nature and will return there one day. We have developed NDD, Nature Deficit Disorder, and it shows in our daily lives.

Please, go outside and use them noses. Wonders are shown when you stop to smell the roses.

Y’all have a blessed day and be well.

Picture of Cinnamon.

Everyone knows this spice! On its own, boy is it tough to consume. Have you ever seen that challenge? Well I tried it at the behest of my wife. I don’t advise it even if you are as large as I am.

Two major types of cinnamon are:

  • Cassia- If you live in the States, this is probs what you are using. Mostly grown in Asia.
  • Ceylon or “True” Cinnamon- Used more often in other countries outside the US.

Health Benefits

Can help with diabetes, lower blood sugar, lower cholesterol, and even IBS. Studies show that it can help with Heart disease, Alzheimer’s, cancer, HIV, infection, tooth decay, and even allergies.

If you are looking for extra umph on an ailment, you may try adding cinnamon. Be careful not to eat too much!

I hope this has been informative. Have a Blessed day!

The Unintended Mother

Pregnant before she was sixteen
Because of with who she mixed in
unenthusiastically washing dishes
All those failed dreams and wishes
Time came and the baby was seen

Suddenly all those dreams faded
She no longer felt lost and jaded
The tiny little angel reminded her
That even mistakes that occur
Can give us a life greatly upgraded

As daughter grew up and moved out
She became the best without doubt
A master of her incredible field
As Her PhD was eagerly fulfilled
But she had secret motives about

Rewinding to when the girl was ten
She found her mother’s dream bin
For all the failed dreams were saved
And the young girl’s heart caved
But after emotional tears, a slight grin

An ingenious plan had been hatched
To absorb all like a lawn dethatched
She would spend years planning
While her knowledge was spanning
And from her mother so dethatched

The plan was quite simple and neat
All those failed dreams she’d meet
But with her mother by her side
Together, experience the full ride
The “mistake” had finally turned sweet

Fat Bottom Girls

I decided to break from the mystic
For a message that’s quite simplistic
You see today a saw a poster board
It had a message that I quite adored
About a certain lower body aesthetic

This goes out to all the lasses
It’s ok for you to have fat asses
Sport those tight jeans. Be a lil spunky
Like salsa, best to be thick and chunky
And show those curves to the masses

Biceps

So I went to the gym last night with my buddy, @joshuat8458458 last night. We decided to put ourselves into as much pain as possible and do over 240 reps of bicep exercises and over 130 reps of tricep exercises. After it was all said and done, after the pain subsided, the burning faded, i have to say I feel the growth already. It was hard, it was taxing, it was definitely time consuming, but it will be worth it to be able to look into the mirror and see a man staring back at me that is in shape and loving it.

Yall be safe and have a blessed day!!

Pre-gym meal

So today for the gym im doing a thing. To backup a bit, my diet sucks. I have a bad problem of eating too much, just like the majority of America. My only saving grace is that i have a super effective and taxing workout ethic. It also doesn’t hurt that my job is very stressful on my body. So, today im going to try something. I will eat these little tuna packets before and after my workout. They are very filling and packed with protein. Protein is not essential pre-workout, but post-workout protein is key. These tuna packet come in many flavors and are really only high in Sodium. So in closing, if you need a quick snack packed with protein for about a dollar, these are great!

Let me know what your favorite/essential snacks are that yall eat to be just that much healthier!! Have a blessed day yall!!!
