……hmmmm

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

I’m a doula with a client and I’m excited. I’m pulling A’s in school. But I feel like time is running out…..(how much longer will this world last?) and I’m wondering if I’m wasting mine’s.
My true self is a constant meditator, holistic healer, master of her higher sences…earth child. I don’t feel like the traditional system is helping me complete my full self and it bothers me…..the more I study the more I realise how twisted and backwards we live…..but we’re too afraid to just
…..STOP….

Is anyone else feeling overwhelmed???

In a word….I’m “Tired” I understand what the old folks mean when they say I’m tired. I’m tired! If I layed my soul out before you maybe you’d understand. We are real people with real issues! I know there are people out there who truely want success for all of us, but those other individuals…..boy do they get under my skin. Looking into my eyes is so much diffreent then looking out them. Everyday is a choice between ignoring my reality or succumbing to it. I swear if i was a believer in suicide it would have been over! lol Sometimes my reality is like ignoring a wounded victim while you save yourself…or at least that’s what it feels like. Sometimes I look at my dream and the sacrifices I will have to make and it just…doesn’t seem right. Like when did i become and individual or start believing in this individualistic selfcentered society??? What ever happened to family first??? It will take me 6 or more years to be what i want…..for what???? Why can’t I do it the ol African way and just just be a Midwife’s apprentice and study under her for 6years at least I will be mastering my field. It’s starting to feel like a waste of time. I Want it And I Want it Bad ….but this can’t be the only way…
Don’t get me wrong throwing in the towel…I’m just Tired..

With the economy the housing market and the education system where it is…..it just doesn’t feel real…..am I a part of the smoke screen……does anybody else feel like there’s something else going on???

It was wonderful!!! I went to Ny to the black Midwives conference to be trained as a doula. it was my first time leaving philly by myself and staying overnight and i enjoyed it so much that i didn’t want to come back. If I didn’t have class monday I probably would have stayed!! ok so I completed the trinaing so right now I have like a partial certification I have to get CPR certified and go to a couple womens health seminars and help deliver 5 babies and then i’ll be totally certified…..so…what does malikka need? Some willing Preganat women!!! and a CPR Class!! can you help a sista out???
I’m also hoping to apprentice under a CNM or a CPM in this area if your out there and you like my enthusiasm then please reply :-) I’m so excited!!!!
MAlIKKA IS A DOULA!!!!!!!

oh I forgot to mention that I made some lovely friends in NY shout out to my Doula Mates!!! Love you guys!!

Was it all a Dream?
was everything I ever wanted in life just a cloud
I thought i seen it but it was all so unreachable
No matter how bad i try …
LOVE
LIFE
FREAINDS
MONEY
it all comes to gether at a point
but somehow eventually rips apart like a news paper
DID I SET MY GOALS to abroad as a yougster
did I promise myself unpromising dreams
where am i going ?
How do i get their?
I kno nanny wouldnt be proud of me ….Will she ever?
Will she ever forgive me?
Does she still have my back
Or did her spirit leave and with her the love of a mother who wont look back
I felt her leave during my unthinkable acts
i cant tell the truth ….. DARLIN HOW CAN YOU ASK
With them i lost everything I had
“I had to survive”
But it just dont make CENCE
Only if you had been were i was
then you might only see
how i got so fucked up
not only EMOTIONAL BUT SPIRITUALLY
where was you when i called and needed you the most ?
I loved you and still do
i pray this aint just false hope

I NEED U ” I DID YOU WrONG YOU DID ME WRONG < I TAKE YOU BACK YOU TAKE ME BACK”

I almost forgot…I know you must be wondering….
