And @kpchandl Continues to Be a Mentor! The Literacies of Holiday Mojitos in CNY

It's the day after Christmas and my older sister already has her tree, decorations and lights up and stored in the basement. Not me. I'm still in the mood of the season and last night, Chitunga and I were invited to the home of Dr. Kelly Chandler-Olcott for a meet and greet and, more importantly, so she could showcase her holiday mojito recipe that she's mastered at her camp in Sodus (with the expertise of Syracuse University nutritionists).

Verdict came in quickly - Chitunga and I definitely offered 4 thumbs-up: mint, pomegranates, cranberry, lime juice and rum made for the perfect holiday treat to go with cookies and good company.

Phew. Her kids - they've done aged on me and are definitely much older than when I left Syracuse University in 2011!!! Where does the time go?

In addition to the kids, I also had the honor of finally meeting my mentor's mom - a school administrator and teacher throughout her career and a hero to her daughter (and by default her daughter's mentee). It was a wonderful way to spend a Wednesday evening and to catch-up, think ahead, celebrate and share the lineages we've been able to create together.

Earlier in the day, Casey, Dave and I took Chitunga, Dylan, Sean-Man, and Jacob Charles to see the latest Spiderman movie (I was intrigued by Miles Morales: Spider Man by Jason Reynolds turned into the latest Marvel series). The animation was fantastic and I was highly impressed at the angles the cartoon took with the story. I am, however, more intrigued to know more about Miles Morale the book. I'm a huge fan of Jason Reynolds but haven't read this particular one (and I should - because I remember all the faces of the Saugatuck Story Fest Teen Advisory Board when they made the connection that our Keynote was the author of this book, too).

All in all, my hump-day was rather remarkable and I'm very fortunate to see my Syracuse family growing larger and larger. Now it's time to venture up to Waterdown, New York, to drop my nephew back at Ft. Drum. Packing-in as much as I can in while I'm home.

    3. Am Clara Bambi from Scotland. I was having serious relationship problems with my boyfriend and it had resulted in him moving out to his friend’s apartment. Everything got worse because he started going to bars and strip clubs frequently with his friend, getting drunk and passing out. He always threatens me on phone whenever I call him because of all the bad advises that his friend has given him. I really love him and we had been dating for 8 years which gave us a beautiful daughter. I had also lost a lot of money on therapists until I was introduced to PRIEST WISDOM by a friend whom he helped to marry her childhood boyfriend; this gave me total confidence and strength to get him back. I did all he asked and after 48 hours my boyfriend called me and rushed back home, things just changed between us emotionally. He has a job and stopped drinking and keeping irrelevant friends. It’s a miracle I never believed was possible because I had lost all hope until I found PRIEST WISDOM. So that’s why I promised to share my testimony all over the universe. All thanks goes to PRIEST WISDOM for the excessive work that he has done for me. Below is the email address in situation you are undergoing a heart break, and I assure you that as he has done mine for me, he will definitely help you too. supernaturalspell1@gmail.com or WhatsApp him +2348124644470 Blog: https://supernaturalspell1.blogspot.com/

  2. Hey everyone!
    Today I come to you with so much excitement!
    My Ex and I broke up 1 year and 2 months ago and i was six months pregnant. We both love each other and it was a shock to me and it really broke my heart. I tried to call him and both of his lines were disconnected. I tried to reach him on social networks but he deleted me off of them. I tried to reach his parents and they told me that their son said that he does not love me and does not want to see me and they do not know what is wrong. I cried and cried everyday because I loved him very much. Until I gave birth and the baby was one year old, I could not get my love back. Again, I was confused. I do not know what to do and I also lost my job and I have no money to take care of the baby. I was miserable in life so I cried to my sister and told her my problem and said that she knew of one powerful spell caster that helped her when she could not get pregnant. I contacted him by email and he said he will help me and told me that a woman cast a spell upon my man and said he will help me break the spell so my man will come back to me and be mine forever. It was a great surprise to me that everything that he said came to pass. My man came back to me immediately, saying that I should forgive him. I am sending a very big thank you to this powerful and real spell caster. I pray for him to live long and do more of his wonderful work. If you have any kind of problem disturbing you in life, you have to contact this powerful spell caster! He can help you. He will not disappoint you, I give you 100% guarantee that he will help you,

He cast a love spell for me. and after 28hours, my boyfriend came back to me and started begging me to forgive him and we moved in together after a few months and he was more open to me than before and he started spending more time with me than his friends.
