There’s hope. It doesn’t cost a thing to smile.

1. 1. It is hot in South Carolina and I am in my parent’s empty house.
2. 2. India Arie and Tim McGraw are amazing artists (and David you agree whole Heartedly I can feel it from Turkey)
3. 3. I am moving up to DC on Sunday.
4. 4. I saw my Grandmother (mom’s mom) for the first time in like a year this weekend. It was wonderful
5. 5. Eeekkk… I got a hair cut on a whim today…. And I now have bangs. They will probably grow out by the time school starts don’t worry. But I kind of love them. Espically now that I have found and wear these huge sunglasses all the time.
6. 6. I have written two new poems and I like them both a lot
7. 7. I saw Erin. That’s right it was wonderful. Me and my little sister Carmel drove Elizabeth up to her internship on June 5^th and we drove back to South Carolina the next morning.
8. 8. We had a WONDERFUL adventure. Carmel and I drove and she read Harry Potter aloud to me. It was intense and when the Dark Lord was coming to the Malfoy Mansion I looked down and was doing 100 mph. No good. Then we stopped for lunch at the Beantree Café in Tennessee. Team we are so taking a weekend trip there next year before it gets cold. We waded in the river and then thought we needed to go rafting. Carmel, silly mortal, didn’t have her bathing suit. But it was okay that she didn’t in the end because they weren’t rafting that day. I made friends with one of the raft guides and he promised to take me the next time I’m there.
9. 9. Did I mention it was 105 degrees outside!!
10. 10. I got my reading from Mexico and it is kind of boring. I feel like a really bad student. But then again it is summer time.
11. 11. I miss ya’ll.
12. 12. I have a road rage problem. Today, I sort of lost it and flipped an ass hole the bird once he had gotten off my riding my back bumper. Then get this he was stopped right in front of me at a stop light. That’s where driving crazy prick gets you waiting for the light to turn. We were both turning left and when the left turn light went green he just waited till it turned yellow before he would turn. I had to wait for the next light. This is why I will never have Bahá’í Bumper stickers on my car.
13. 13. I have a great and wonderful idea for a business. I am going to start a plant nursery/coffee shop/and florist shop. It is going to be called Ridvan (which is an Arabic word for Paradise) The back is going to be a big courtyard with a tile floor and tons of plants. All of them will be on sail naturally. I’ll also rent out the back for weddings and high class parties. Also during the hot summer months I’ll pitch tents for people to drink coffee inside. But my winter business will be the coffee shop. I will need a greenhouse on my farm. There is much more to this plan the I’m sure any of you are interested in reading.
14. 14. I am wearing one of my father’s button down shirts and it smells like him even though it just came out off of the line. The smell makes me feel like everything is going to be alright.
15. 15. I love my mother. And I’m glad not to be on Accutain anymore.
