I am happy to be able to help my Mentees. Some of them are African American and I work at Mercer. I try to be helpful to all of my Mentees. Some of them are Caucasian and others are Hispanic. They are all very nice and I have been able to connect with almost all of them. Sometimes when I meet a new Mentee at the beginning of the semester I introduce myself to them to familiarize myself with their names as well.
I feel inspired by so many woman poets.
I came across an autobiographical woman poet Sharon Olds and I just love her.
Sometimes if your feeling gets hurt or got hurt just release with a good cry.
I give myself permission to cry if my feelings get hurt or if I have a stressful day it’s not easy.
My favorite thing to have in the summer is…
Rita’s Water Ice coffee or chocolate frozen custard. It’s yummy!

I have been having the nicest day.
All day today I felt good. I got a good night’s sleep and I got up and took my shower early. There are reasons to smile.
I love seeing myself and other women succeed.
I know sometimes people used to say it’s man’s world but that is changing a lot. I hope the next generation of women will be better off and kind of be able to say it’s 50/50.
Being in a relationship was great while it lasted.
In my mid-30s I met a handsome Indian man online and we had a nice relationship. We became friends. I loved the intimacy of us holding hands and walking together and going out on dates. I want to meet somebody else and try again to form a relationship. I want to get married.
