WIXY's Gone Bananas

January is gone, February is here. A Day in the Zone was the featured blog, and Diamond is doing well showing her readers how to effectively change their lifestyles in order to be thinner and healthier. I still urge those to go there for diet, exercise, and other tips that will be a benefit to their health. For the month of February, I would like to showcase Liquid Plastic as the featured blog. Amias shares her experiences as she expresses herself so well. Even though we have been cyber friends for a few months, Amias lets her readers feel like they have known her for a long time. My teacher friend, Struke says this "Amias, Your posts should be required reading for English composition classes. They are very deep, thoughtful and can be analyzed so many different ways because of the meanings." I am not as educated as Struke, but I agree with him. Her posts challenge me to think. Yes, I am a fan of Amias. I would like for everybody who comes here to be a fan also.

I was first awarded with the Biggest Heart Award from Michelle , who was the originated the award. This afternoon, Sindi also awarded me with the very same award. Since the two of them covered most of my blogroll, there are two I do want to award this to. Jessica , for the heart she has for her family. Amias for the heart she has for her unique style of writing. Oh and by the way Michelle, your latest post may lose you your Family Friendly site seal ;)|

Amias is one who thinks outside the box. In this world of change, we can ill afford to go with traditional ways. I have seen this in both the church world and the professional world. We need intellectual leaders, ones who will help us all to think outside of the box. I have seen this in Amias' writings. She had needed to take a few days off from blogging to heal and to recharge. Some very ignorant people decided that she didn't write to satisfy them. She doesn't hold the "traditional black" opinion of the Confederate flag. She feels that it is part of her history as a black woman who was raised in Mississippi. Click here to read her views . Amias returned to her Liquid Plastic blog early this morning to express her struggles and how she had to delete over 200 emails from ignorant and hateful people. I admire her for going off the "cow path" and sharing a different, non traditional view with all of us. And Amias, like everyone else on my blog roll, you a...

Cliff Note: This goes out to Amias. Sleeping Under Her Wing At night when all is quiet I notice my toes are warm despite the snow on the ground beneath me. I curl into a ball at the foot of my bed hiding the hurt and the tears from little patters of feet. I wail so hard silently my head wants to explode. She with her wing wipes my tears. She with her words sings to me and twiddles my hair. I rub a single feather I plucked from her wing and stroke my cheek with it. It soothes me. I am warm. I am safe. I pull it together. I send her that same feather. Although she has tons. ~Liquid

No sooner do I update my profile picture that it appears on someone else's blog. Amias , the most unique wordsmith on my blogroll, has made an acrostic of my not so secret identity on her blog. This is all because I had decided when I started this blog 17 months ago I had decided to be the only person I knew how to be when writing it...ME Believe me, this was a great way to start my day today. Also non fattening, but leaves a good taste, which also reminds me that I have good taste in choosing my online friends. The picture, by the way is copyright Amias, and snagged from her blog.
