I believe in the magic of the cards to inspire us to let go of old ideas and restrictions.

You have me nailed down, Leah. I’m a coward. What else do you want me to say? I’m sorry? I’m not. I’m a drunk with enough baggage to fill a 747 and the sense of humor of a fifteen-year-old. I’m a fucking mess.

How do you know about Leotta?" It wasn't like I could tell him that Cephus Hardy was dead and right there about to give him the smackdown, nor could I tell him that I had seen his old Buick parked in front of Higher Ground when I acted like I had no idea he had a car and offered him a ride. "Isn't she still married to Cephus Hardy?" My eyes zeroed in on his facial expression. Cephus jumped around me and grabbed Terk by the neck. "Yeah, you sonofabitch!" "Stop!" I yelled, but it was too late.

My main employer is Mae West at the Happy Trails Campground. When I got a phone call to take down some trees on this guy's property for a side hustle, I jumped at the change. That's one of the biggest money making jobs around these parts. Unfortunately I got hauled off to jail after I was accused of being part of an illegal logging crew. Simple enough, I gave Sheriff Hank Sharp the name of the man who hired me, only he was found murdered by one of my tools. Not only am I accused of illegal logging, now I'm the number one suspect in this man's murder. It just creams my corn to be accused of murder.

I really do understand baby but sometimes you have to love a person enough to let them go. If he is engaged to her then she must be pretty damn special to him.

We had tried being boyfriend and girlfriend for a while but it hadn’t worked out because of my jealousy and because of the fact that I’d gotten an abortion when I’d gotten pregnant by him at the age of nineteen.

I guess she didn’t know that you can say a lot of foul shit out your mouth but you don’t talk about black folks mama. Many times mama is all we got besides hard times so what she said was a motherfuckin’ no-no and I'm had to check that ass!

I didn’t want to deal with any drama at all but I knew that I had to come clean about my pregnancy. A

Things between Kisha and I were finally back on track. The only problem was she had gotten a new best friend…Tamika.

Lisa. I was so mad and hurt that all I wanted was some revenge and so I fucked his boy Skeet.

Stop stepping on the back of my shoe,” I demand through gritted teeth. This was the fourth time he’d bumped into me. “Mooom, Sophie pinched me,” he whines. “If you two don’t stop bickering, we’re heading home,” Mom warns.

Stop stepping on the back of my shoe,” I demand through gritted teeth. This was the fourth time he’d bumped into me. “Mooom, Sophie pinched me,” he whines. “If you two don’t stop bickering, we’re heading home,” Mom warns. We pipe down. We’ve been waiting for

Parrott, hate to disturb you on your day off. Need you to check out a death at the Campbell farm. Lots of important people at a weekend party. Looks like natural causes, but--" “Okay, Chief.

Cheese by Maisie Aletha Smikle and Abigail LaTonya Waugh Cheese Cheese Cheese I must get some cheese A rat I must appease And put Micky mouse at ease I need cheese for the steak To shred and bake To make bread and cake While I'm awake Warm cheese is so gooey Heat it longer it melts to oil Floating when it’s boiled Water and oil they just won’t jive When they’re together They are still apart Oil refuses to be absorbed or victimized Frozen cheese is frozen oil hard as ice Grill cheese on toasts Stuff cheese in a roast Cubed cheese on fried rice Tasty and filled with spice While I play ball All I could think of was cheese ball O how I would love to munch On a very big bunch Pizza and cheese went to the circus fair It was indeed a festive affair In the cool breeze Pizza got married to cheese Clown brought the tux and gown On his way into town Pizza and cheese profess their love for each other And swore they'll forever be together Cheese promised pizza never to leave So to cheese, pizza cleave Pizza stuck to cheese like glue And vowed to bond after saying I do

Wait!” Shawn interjected, looking intently at Kenny, “You said ‘you all’ not ‘we’. What aren’t you telling us?” Kenny fiddled with his thumbs but Shawn smacked them apart. “I’m going away for a while.” The cheering had ended so abruptly that the silence was deafening against the occasional pops from the oven. “I’ve decided to quit my job and open a restaurant!” Jerry quickly interrupted, breaking the silence, “There’s isn’t a name for it yet but I’m excited…” Tonya and Teddy gave a small cheer. “Here’s a name; shut up.” Shawn glared back at Kenny, “You’re doing what again?

For a ten-year-old I am very responsible.

Myron shook his head. “This is too weird,” he said. “I saw Carl heading out,” Esperanza said. “What did he want?” “He came by with a maid from the Court Manor. Guess who Jack Coldren was linking up with for a little afternoon delight?” “Tonya Harding?” “Close. Norm Zuckerman.” Esperanza tilted her head back and forth, as though sizing up an abstract work at the Met. “I’m not surprised. About Norm anyway. Think about it. Never married. No family. In public, he always surrounds himself with young, beautiful women.

I'm his nightmare...

I’m a woman, duh,” she said. “And a Southern woman, to boot. Manipulation is what we do best.

Haley paused. “Occupation?” “Psychiatrist at Universal Hospital.” Haley stopped typing and stared. Dr. Tonya Preston stared right back. “You’re looking at me like I said I was a hooker in the French Quarter.

She turned to Stephanie. "I'm going to the bathroom. You coming?" "Yes, since women have to travel in pairs." Tonya chuckled. Once that were around the corner, Stephanie pounced. "Holy crap! I've never seen you like that before. Not that I ever had the chance, but holy shit, Tonya, you need to jump on this train. I think it's coming for you whether you want it to or not.

some cigarettes and when I returned she sat me down to discuss the Winter Olympics. “Did you see it on the TV? That Tonya Harding? I never liked her. She’s a street fighter is what she is, a dirty snot. Nancy Kerrigan I like, but not that street fighter.” Tonya Harding really is something else. I resisted the story until I saw a picture of her. With her fierce makeup, she looks like a child’s drawing of an angry babysitter.

Finally Jordan and I are real friends, not imaginary ones. It's the best feeling in the world.

I had no choice but to use my magic to listen to discover what Tonya was up to.

Focusing your time, getting rid of some of the noise, and lasering in on your priorities sometimes takes some discomfort. I know this myself firsthand. We need to discover the priorities that are unique to us, but first we have to take hold of this truth: we must be willing to not have it all.

Let me lay a little tough love on you right now. You can choose or let others choose for you. The choice is really yours. Not making a choice is a choice. But so many of us have forgotten that we have a choice—it’s a case of learned helplessness. Have you ever experienced that feeling of having no control over your day?

Of being stuck (and the fact that I wanted to give up and not even think about how empty I felt)? That was my own learned helplessness rearing its ugly head.
