30 Day Challenge

Good morning beautiful people! I have been remiss in writing on this lovely blog and have decided to end that today! I have been inspired by my friend Shayla to embark on a 30 day challenge.

November is the month of many thirty day challenges. I have embarked on two of them. I will also be working on Nanowrimo, where I will try to write a novel in a month. (I have 8,000 ish words so far and am very hopeful for the rest of the month. So without further adu: the challenge

Have a beautiful day and I will be back in the morning with my first post!

poetry day of awesomeness

We went to the Wichita mountains with the lit society today on a poetry writing retreat.

I think you all know how much I love writing poetry, so here it is: Hope you like it

Majestic peace

I see the mountain there

but my head is somewhere else

As I scale the wild face

my foot slips on a stone

I'm dreaming of the cool, crisp air

that wraps it's arms around me

I see your face glance down at me

as you reach out and touch my hand.

The rope around my waist goes tout

and reminds me where I am

My hands grab hold of cold rock pieces

as I swing myself up the mountain

with no great force of expertise

I climb straight to the top

And staring down at the great beyond

I stand to catch my breath

my arms help wide

my face aglow

with smiles and with wonder

I grasp your hand

as we take it all in

this majestic scene of peace!

poetry??

Introduction- I am in a poetry writing class this semester, its pretty much amazing btw!!. This is the poem I wrote for last week. Hopefully you enjoy it, even if you don't thats ok. I liked it and thats really all that matters right now!

Flashback to my former life

The fog rolls in, clouding my gaze.

a man in a red hat walks through the smog

my heart skips a beat as I watch him come forward

he waves in my direction, smiling wide

A man in a red hat walks through the smog

a woman behind brushes my shoulder

he waves in my direction smiling wide

She breaks into a run and leaps into his arms

a woman behind brushes my shoulder

I look back to see her expression gleaming

she breaks into a run and leaps into his arms

another man cuts through the fog like a knife

I look back to see her expression gleaming

I’m jealous of the love I see in her eyes

another man cuts through the fog like a knife

my husband, one limb short walks by.

I’m jealous of the love I see in her eyes

Sorrow keeps my face turned down low

my husband, one limb short walks by

woman, my bag needs taking, take hold.

Sorrow keeps face turned down low

my heart skips a beat as I see him come forward

woman my bag needs taking, take hold

the fog rolls in, clouding my gaze.

my life as told by Matisyahu

One Day - Matisyahu

sometimes I lay
under the moon
and thank God I'm breathing
then I pray
don't take me soon
cause I am here for a reason
sometimes in my tears I drown
but I never let it get me down
so when negativity surrounds
I know some day it'll all turn around
because
all my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
for the people to say
that we don't wanna fight no more
they'll be no more wars
and our children will play
one day x6
it's not about
win or lose
we all lose
when they feed on the souls of the innocent
blood drenched pavement
keep on moving though the waters stay raging
in this maze you can lose your way (your way)
it might drive you crazy but don't let it faze you no way (no way)
sometimes in my tears I drown
but I never let it get me down
so when negativity surrounds
I know some day it'll all turn around
because
all my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
for the people to say
that we don't wanna fight no more
they'll be no more wars
and our children will play
one day x6
one day this all will change
treat people the same
stop with the violence
down with the hate
one day we'll all be free
and proud to be
under the same sun
singing songs of freedom like
one day x4
all my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
for the people to say
that we don't wanna fight no more
they'll be no more wars
and our children will play
one day x6
ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

that was what I was thinking about today. I was thinking about peace, love and freedom.

good day and good night

DUM DUM DUM DUM!!!!

I Miss Lydia, would like to announce to the world that I have been cast in my first movie!

MZU

Midwestern Zombie University

Yes its going to be awesome, yes I will be the star (sort of, not really haha) and yes, we are going to go paranormal activity on their faces. (for those of you who don't know, Paranormal activity was a very low budget horror film that has grossed a rediculous amount of money and is basically ten kinds of awesome!)

This is being hosted by Club Greenlight at MZU (get it? zombie school?? It was kinda funny??) The directing, writing, editing and acting is all being done by students of MSU. We are all very excited and hope you can all come see the finished product when it is done.

And FYI- If you come to see the movie, you will get to see me kill a freaking Zombie. Now isn't that just super worth it??

hearts, love and rejoicing
