Things I Think About!

Things I think about:
Turtles, they hide in their shells when frightened. Is it true?
I'll have to look it up on the internet. If it's on the internet does it make it true, only if it's from a credible source? What makes that source credible? Hmmm...
...
I wish I had chosen history as my degree instead of marketing then I could have pretended to teach those who in reality would be teaching me but should I give credit to Roger for that?
If I were to get scared while teaching I could just put my head in my desk and have a web cam in my desk so the kids could see me and continue to teach... lol!
If I were a bubble boy turned into a man in bubble would I have to have disability accommodations for stupidity?
If I were a bubble man I would have a van with the front seats taken out and a curved ramp that would pull out so I could park and roll out of the van when I get to my destination.
If I were a teacher in a bubble... -April 26th, 2016

I love school... wait for it... I really do. I'm all for some higher learning, I loved being there and listening to the professors talk. I loved group projects and solo projects and public speaking wasn't my best thing but I loved writing the speeches.  I loved English class where we read these amazing authors 'literary pieces that I feel I could never but inspired me to try.

In high school I was a teacher's assistant for P.E. and I loved it. I wanted to be a history teacher possibly I thought. I would have made an awesome teacher. I respected the profession greatly growing up. I taught elementary kiddies and 7th and 8th graders. It was so much fun for me. I think I was misdirected when I decided to pick a career that I wanted to be an athletic trainer. I really should have become a teacher.

I write many things that I'm inspired through quotes which is the title for my blog. "My life in quotes".
I love quoting myself, friends, bosses, coworkers, teachers and influential people.

Here's why I didn't become a teacher, my bipolar manifested at 18 or 19 years old in freshman year. I was out of control, it hurt that I was manic for a week and depressed the next. I loved school and it killed me inside when I had to drop out for 3 years. I choose what I thought was something I would love but wasn't really obtainable physical therapy or athletic training. It just wasn't on my brain wavelength. I chose marketing instead after working for a few years on getting my grades to a point to be accepted back into UNCC. That was a flop and I dropped out again after two bouts of pink eye, mono, the spraining of my sternoclavicular joint and the flu. I was like dear God, please don't let me die, well am I dead, not quite. I really think I missed my calling to work with youth. I would have been able to help those kids whom struggle daily with mental illness and I'd pick up on learning disabilities easily. Oh and if you don't know who Roger is watch American Dad.

Now for the end piece:

"Why do turtles hide in their shell

Unlike sea turtles, tortoises live only on land. Like the leopard tortoise, tortoises have big, heavy shells that are shaped like domes. And unlike sea turtles, they can hide inside their shells for protection. When they’re frightened, tortoises just tuck their heads and tails inside their shells."

And that's my little nugget of internet fact for you all

Jasper's memory in my mind!

I would like to think I have many friends that I care about and care about me. Let me tell you about my little brother. Jasper Aaron Harke, was born in Syracuse, NY on August 24th, 1994. Well, Jasper meant a lot to me, I pleaded with my mom to take this baby that was disabled. My mom said, "Let me pray about taking him because I'm not Sarah... If you don't know Biblical history, Sarah is Abraham's Wife... She was very old when she had her son. My mom raised lots of foster children and her 2 own and 2 own adopted. My mom is old... It's true pushing her way through the 70's... His bio mom was on drugs and she was a cocaine addict and probably on some other things. She gave birth to a normal baby but then took him home and blew coke in his face when he wouldn't stop crying. He ended up having a couple of cardiac arrests, the little man immediately ended up in foster care. It was quite miraculous he lived. If you are planning to be a parent someday and are do...

Spirit filled vs religious vs spiritual

What is the difference between being religious, spiritual and spirit filled? Webster's dictionary says that being religious  is "relating to or manifesting faithful devotion to an acknowledged ultimate reality or deity". Webster's dictionary says that being spiritual is "of, relating to, consisting of, or affecting the spirit or  concerned with religious values". According to the Collins English dictionary being spirit filled or the charismatic movement is this, " Christianity  any of various groups, within existing denominations, that emphasize communal prayer and the charismatic gifts of speaking in tongues, healing, etc". Here's my take on this, Jay Z said on  Watch the Throne, "You ain't gotta go to church to get to know yo' God" raps on the song Threat that he's killing people but it's a valid statement. I loved church, I guess but when life experiences change us as an young adult as in my bipolar manifestin...

Forgiveness for a lifetime and beyond!

"Forgiveness is that subtle thread that binds both love and friendship. Without forgiveness, you may not even have a child one day." - George Foreman I've seen what love at first sight is and love at first click. I'm going to say that I will never pick love at first sight. Love is a hard thing to grasp and a hard place to be. It takes work and time to nurture. I've had infatuation and lust relationships too. I've been used for emotional and a rebound needs. I have a big heart and I forgive easily. I was chasing this amazing woman who didn't know how to love again nor did she want to. We clicked that night and into the morning having deep conversations. I knew I wanted to be with her regardless of her situation which probably wasn't the best idea ever but there were a few times she would push me a way till she let me inside her walls. It takes a big heart to forgive a lot of pain. I wasn't ready to give up hope on her. Now we are at crossroads an...
