Fashion: Table of Three


We do it big but in a different way.... =) It was a fun night be ready for the out takes lol =D

Urban Flower Posing

There are all kinds of flowers in the world but some how this flower blooms larger than the rest.  The epitome of independent and a free spirit, this flower is in a category all her own.  Ayana is the splash of flavor the blog world has been looking for, keep your eyes open and watch her reveal all she has to offer.

UOM Transformation

In a day a lot can change about the way a person looks. This is one of my idols that I was graced with joining on one journey through this change. Normally I would say she's fancy but this time I found something a little more fitting.

 

Heart Warming Email

"Big-E"'s Mom to me
show details Jan 24 (5 days ago)
Hi Whitney,
I got your note to send my email address if I wanted your pics of "Big-E".  Unfortunately, I missed the part of your note to send my email the next day!  I had the paper with your note in front of the computer, where "Big-E" found it this weekend & brought it to me, I read it again & thought, Oh no!  I want those pictures!!
So I understand if you have already gotten rid of said-pics, but I would love copies of them if you still have them. 

I hope you had a great weekend.  We so miss not seeing you in the mornings & afternoons.  It was such a difficult decision to switch "Big-E"'s school.  I wanted to explicitly tell you that our decision has absolutely nothing to do with you; in fact, you have kept us from moving forward on our decision for about 4 months (however long you've been at Miss LeAndra's).  We found this school when "Big-E"'s last teacher was there & then we delayed it when we met you.  So I just wanted to make sure you knew that.  You are amazing, Whitney.  With the kids, with the parents, all the way around.  You are someone, I feel, who has truly found their calling.  You will touch many children's lives through your career & we feel extremely fortunate that you were able to teach and love "Big-E" all these months.  You have played a big part in why he is as sweet & advanced as we feel he is!! :-)

I'm not sure when "Big-E" will be back to daycare this week.  We had to go to Peds After Hours yesterday because "Big-E" was wheezing and having difficulty breathing; they're afraid he has pneumonia again, and he has a double ear infection.  :-(  That stinking runny nose he got on Friday developed into this.  Boo!!  I will keep you posted after we go to his dr today.

I hope you had/have a good Monday.  Take care,
"Big-E"'s Mom

This email is an example of something that I cannot even put into words. It warmed my heart and gave me a lot of confidence in my abilities as an educator. A lot of times when I doubt myself I know that I will look at this email and feel warm and completely fuzzy. 

Thank you =)  And to note I love "Big-E" no matter where he goes. He is part of my very first class as a teacher.

F.I.S.S. Fashion

 The largest event to be hosted annually at the University of Florida during Black History month is the Florida Invitational Step Show, also known as F.I.S.S.  This event you can't just wear any old outfit,  you have to come dressed to impress. This is a selection of some of the various ensembles that have passed through Gainesville in the last four years between my friends and I. 

And some people know how to make the most casual outfit seems just down right hot! 


Keep an eye out this year for the hottest do's and most horrific don't's that are going to be entering Gainesville this year at F.I.S.S. during  February 19th.

Safety vs. Stupidity

If I was to say that starting July 1st of this year, anyone could carry a firearm openly onto any college campus or private school, what would you say? How would you feel?

Well if we are not careful this question could transform into a statement.  After the shooting in Arizona it seems that a Florida Senator feels that more people should be able to openly carry their firearms as long as they have a concealed weapons permit.  Although the idea is to enhance the safety of the population and counteract random acts of violence, I think the passing of this bill would do quite the opposite.  

Instead of my normal bashing ignorant people with power, I will look at this idea from both sides as rationally as possible. 

From the side of the Senator and his supporters:
  • To allow everyone the right to protect themselves at all times

From the side opposing the Senator and his supporters:
  • To ensure safety of everyone
  • To keep environments of learning safe and not to intimidate others
  • To reduce collegiate violence and violence in general 





In my opinion, if this bill was to pass it would open the door way for more moments of violence than anyone could imagine. When people who are in support of this bill think about it all they can say is "no other state that uses similar bills has problems that people would imagine". I feel that passing this bill would be the gateway for all sorts of problems. Instead of having more people that are allowed to carry guns openly, there should be more police officers in the field that can protect and serve the people. 
"Any person with a pea brain [and..]that hits the age of 21 can get a gun," Malcolm Alls. 
It takes a shooting in Arizona before a football game (the BCS National Championship, to be exact) for people to think that guns should be entered into arenas that they have no business...Hmmmm, when there was a school shooting in Columbine no one thought that guns should be allowed in school at all. When Virginia Tech had their tragedy no one proposed allowing guns openly on campuses throughout the United States. But once our beloved North American sport is jeopardized people want to have guns implemented in places that they have no business! Why haven't they suggested increasing the number of officers on campus, the number of self-defense course or even allowing people to have any other alternative to carrying a gun? Simple, they have their own personal interest at heart and don't care about what others are thinking about or the consequences of their actions. 

Even if you are in support of carrying your gun in public, please sit back and think why would anyone need to carry a gun into a learning environment that is teaching anti-ignorance, when guns are used instead of working out issues in a logical manner?
