Back to Teaching

Today is a great day and I am back to teaching after spring break.

What's Been Happening Lately

2006-03-29T07:30:00.000-08:00

Wow, its been too long since I have posted here. Sorry. Ok here is what I have been up to the last few months.

I have been putting hours over at Attucks Community Service, a non-profit organization that is housed at Eurma C. Hayes Center. This is not the child care center or a City government unit. It is a neat place where school-age children come to after school for a variety of neat programs. They first get help with their homework. After that they get to participate in various activities such as going to movies, arts and crafts, group games, and other fun activities. They even have a drill team. Well guess who is the leader of that activity? You guess right if you said Angie Kaye.

I am really proud of the kids who come each week to practice for and hour and a half. Of course I can hardly walk out of the building after rehearsal, but is well worth the time. The kids performed in the Lights Fantastic Parade and are going to have a recital on April 27th. This recital is focused on dance numbers with music from around the world and the U.S. I have tried to expose the group to new types of music I am sure they would probably never listen to before and we learn about history and culture of the dances. This is going to be a fun time for everyone that attends. I will post on this later as the time gets closer.

I have also been teaching adult computer classes at John A Logan College. The classes will be finishing up in the next few weeks. I love teaching and never look forward to the last class of the semester, but I do need to get some rest.

I am also involved in spreading the good news about Melaleuca. This is a company that sells the most wonderful products such as personal health items, vitamins, household cleaners, beauty products and more that are all non toxic and safe for the environment. The products are made with tea tree oil from Australia. The tree is called Melaleuca. It is just fascinating how wonderful these products are and yet can help save the environment. If your are interested in these products, post a message here.

that's about it except for of course trying to spend time with David, my great and wonderful husband and with Shadi and his wife Karen, also know as "my kids". David and I went to a Christian Rock concert last Sunday up in Belleville. Have not seen the Kids in a few weeks since they are so busy with everything. If you love great music, check the band on Sundays at Key West in Carbondale, Shadi plays Sax and piano and the rest of the band is great as well. Always a great time.

Winston our dog, an English bulldog, has his own blog and needs to update it soon. It is winstonspeaks@blogspot.com so you might want to see what the crazy dog has to say.

Later everyone.

Working in Sandoval

Hi all!

I am in Sandoval for a few days helping a great group called Shalom! I love helping to write grants. The people are just the friendliest ever and so willing to help others.

It takes time

It has been two weeks since Mom left here and went over the rainbow. The funeral was beautiful and I am sure she was happy to finally be in heaven and out of pain.

I have learned so much about life these pas few months. I know the love of another person is one of the most important things ever. It is so precious yet so fragile. I am glad to be back writing again and I appreciate the nice comments.

I will try to start writing some of the saying and thoughts that I originally wanted to do here.

Here is thir first:

"Love is not about changing people to fit our own image; it is about letting them be themselves."

Until tomorrow, always

My Mom finally went over the rainbow on May 5, 2005. She had been terminally ill for over 4 months. She is now out of pain. It is hard to say goodbye but she was not really here since December. I now understand what makes a person is really a lving soul, when we are able to speak and think, to love, to laugh, to cry and to share and express our feelings. Without these things we are basically lifeless except for the body. She fought the hard battle and won the fight. She has crossed over the rainbow to a wonderful place.

I will miss her so much and my heart is hurting so badly, but I know each time I see a rainbow or a butterfly, she is really smiling back at me.

I love you Mom, enjoy your new home in heaven, over the rainbow.

Important Day

2005-04-28T21:29:00.000-07:00

O Kaye, what very important day is May 2????

Storms

2005-04-21T22:59:00.000-07:00

It is very late and I have been watching the weather radar on the computer. I love spring but hate the storms. I am terrified of them. Hope I can sleep before the front comes in, if not I will just hide under the pillows with the dog. (He hates storms too!)

An inspiring type of guy!

One of the nice things about running for public office is that you meet so many nice people. I became friends with some of the new people I met and those friendships I hope will continue on for a long, long time. Some of them insprited me, such as writing a blog, others made me laugh and others told me not to cry which I did anyway.

Tonights Thoughts

2005-04-17T21:26:00.000-07:00

Today and tonight have been difficult. If not for my good friend Mary Ann stopping by, I think the day would ahve been over 24 hours. Still thinking of life and death and trying to cope with someone I love dying right before my eyes. I also think of the family I had over two years ago that is now all but gone and I weep. But tomorrow is another day and I will wake up being refreshed and learn from yesterday's thoughts and work for a better tomorrow.

As a Yanni fan, this is one of my favorite sayings:

"One World, one people, one man, one dream, through Yanni, kindred spirit."
