Havent had time to be on here as often. School has been pretty hectic, hell week is almost over for me. 2 quizzes, 1 group report, 1 email assignment and 2 weeks worth of lectures to catch up in this coming 2 weeks. And then its finals. The semester is almost ending! Time to be positive, i can do it!

[afragileparadox]

You are not the person who you were before. You used to write a poetry but now, you became a unfinished novel that never read by anyone. You used to love the rain but now, you became an endless river who keeps on flowing. I hope your heart is still somewhere out there, somehow beating and fighting.

This too...

we keep our private places--our--panic rooms--our certainty of darkness--the relentless descent into bomb shelters...who knew--we'd already carved out our own tombs...

Toni Blackman - Why Worry (music video)

Brooklyn-based artist Toni Blackman has just released her spiritual and uplifting new music video, “Why Worry”.

Through this brand new release, Toni wants to reach out to her listeners with an empowering and inspiring message. Through the power of music, Toni seeks to heal her fans and help them to transform their anxiety and concern into freedom and happiness.

It’s almost impossible to pigeonhole Toni’s style, as she experiments with a diverse variety of genres. From hip-hop and lo-fi to soul, rock, and jazz. She also takes a deeply meditative approach to create her original music and this has become a signature style of the artist.

In her music, Toni likes to change it up, bouncing from rap to singing to performing spoken word. Her lyrical compositions are entirely original, and she is passionate about infusing her music with a meditative philosophy. This makes her music distinctive and unique, which is why her fans love it so much!

The soundscape in this track is evocative and expressive, which perfectly emphasizes Toni’s powerful vocal lines. Her lyrics are poetic and direct, which recalls the writings of legendary authors such as Maya Angelou and Pablo Neruda, among many others.

The music video for this new track was shot by Artiv Hub in Nairobi and edited by Shafilmz in Dakar. Yohimbe Sampson produced the song and S.Sense and Stephanie JNote worked on vocals in Brooklyn, New York. All of these diverse artists have come together to make something special together and create a release that is truly an international collaboration.

The stunning and vividly striking music video for the release also includes the lyrics to the song, which is beautifully edited throughout. On top of this, Toni’s performance is captivating and you can’t help but get lost in her fluid lyrical flow and energetic style.

Toni’s philosophy behind the song and the music video was to infuse her rap flows with prayers and spiritual thoughts. The artist originally composed this song to reach out to her young students and she speaks to them through an upbeat and positive performance. However, this song has had a ripple effect, and Toni has connected with listeners from all round the world.  

Toni’s iconic style recalls the likes of many legendary acts such as Nina Simone, Gil Scott Heron, and Queen Latifah, to mention but a few. If you enjoy the powerful style of these artists then you’ll love Toni’s fresh new release! Don’t miss out!

The vegetables, parsley, thyme and pepper are all great seasonal tastes. —————————————————————————- Fresh Pumpkin Soup  Prep: 50 min. Cook: 8 hours Yield: 9 Servings Ingredients 8 cups chopped fresh pumpkin (about 3 pounds) 4 cups chicken broth 3 small tart apples, peeled and chopped 1 medium onion, chopped 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 teaspoon salt TOASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS: 1/2 cup fresh pumpkin seeds 1 teaspoon canola oil 1/8 teaspoon salt Directions In a 5-qt. slow cooker, combine the first eight ingredients.

It’s healthy and great for after-holiday leftovers, but also for feasting. The basil, tomatoes, and parsley are festive herbs in this dish. Now, again, I would do my best to avoid canned vegetables. Visit your local Farmer’s Market or grocery store and pick up a couple russet potatoes, a few large carrots and a zucchini instead of those darn frozen vegetables. ———————————————————————————- Hearty Potato Soup  Prep: 10 min. Cook: 30 min. Yield: 8-10 Servings 10 30 40 Ingredients 6 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced 2 carrots, chopped 6 celery ribs, chopped 8 cups water 1 onion, chopped 6 tablespoons butter, cubed 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1-1/2 cups 2% milk Directions In a Dutch oven, cook the potatoes, carrots and celery in water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain, reserving liquid and setting vegetables aside. In the same pan, saute onion in butter until tender. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper; gradually add milk.

Yield: 8 Servings 20 40 60 Ingredients 1 pound beef top round steak, trimmed and cubed 1 teaspoon canola oil 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained 1 cup water 1 teaspoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1 bay leaf 4 medium carrots, cut into 3-inch chunks 4 medium potatoes, peeled and halved 1 cup frozen peas Directions In a Dutch oven, brown beef in oil. Add the next seven ingredients; cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add carrots and potatoes; cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Stir in peas; heat through. Yield: 8 servings. Nutritional Facts One 1-cup serving equals 159 calories, 5 g fat (0 saturated fat), 38 mg cholesterol, 70 mg sodium, 20 g carbohydrate, 0 fiber, 16 g protein. Diabetic Exchanges: 1-1/2 lean meat, 1 starch, 1 vegetable. JNote: This low-fat, diabetic-friendly soup will fill you up right quick! The thyme and bay accompany the potatoes and carrots wonderfully in this stew. ———————————————————————- Vegan Soups and Stews Squash, Sweet Potato, and Corn Chowder Serves: 8 Ingredients 1 medium butternut squash (about 1 1/2 pounds) 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 large onion, finely chopped 1 celery stalk, finely diced 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced One 32-ounce carton vegetable broth, or 4 cups water with 2 vegetable bouillon cubes 2 bay leaves 2 teaspoons cumin 1/2 teaspoon dried basil 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 2 1/2 to 3 cups cooked fresh (from about 3 medium ears) corn kernels or thawed frozen corn kernels 1 cup rice milk, or as needed Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley, or more, to taste With a sharp knife, cut the squash across the center of the rounded part. Remove the seeds and fibers. Slice the squash into 1/2-inch rings, then peel each ring and cut into small dice. If you don’t have a knife (or patience) up to this task, partially prebake the squash to make the cutting and peeling easier. Heat the oil in a soup pot. Add the onion and celery and sauté over medium heat until the onion is golden. Add the squash and sweet potato dice and enough stock or water to cover all but about an inch of the vegetables. Bring to a simmer, then add the bay leaves and other seasonings. Simmer gently, covered, until the squash and potatoes are tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. With a slotted spoon, scoop out 2 heaping cups of the solid ingredients, mash them well, and stir back into the soup. Or simply insert an immersion blender into the soup pot and puree a small portion of the ingredients—enough to give the base of the soup some thickness. Add the cooked corn kernels and enough rice milk to give the soup a slightly thick consistency. Season with salt and pepper, then simmer over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes longer. Serve at once, or let the soup stand for an hour or so before serving, then heat through as needed. Stir in the parsley just before serving.This may also be cooked a day ahead and refrigerated, since its flavor develops nicely overnight. JNote: This tasty chowder is warm and filling. I advise using fresh herbs for this chowder. The parsley, thyme, basil, cumin and bay are a wonderful medley of festive flavors in this recipe. ————————————————— Low Sodium Soups and Stews Pumpkin Vegetable Stew  Prep: 20 min. Cook: 40 min. Yield: 6 Servings 20 40 60 Ingredients 4 cups cubed peeled pumpkin or winter squash 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained 1/2 cup chicken broth 2 cups fresh cut green beans (1-inch pieces) 1 cup fresh or frozen corn 1/2 cup sliced onion 1/2 cup chopped green pepper 1 garlic clove, minced 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 1/4 teaspoon pepper Directions In a large saucepan, combine all the ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 40-45 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Yield: 6 servings (2 quarts). Diabetic Exchanges: One serving (prepared with low-sodium broth) equals 1 starch, 1 vegetable; also, 83 calories, 109 mg sodium, trace cholesterol, 20 gm carbohydrate, 4 gm protein, 1 gm fat. JNote: This low sodium and diabetic-friendly soup is a great stick-to-your-ribs addition to any Mabon feast. The vegetables are so delicious in this recipe. ——————————————————– Fireside Beef Stew  Prep: 10 min.

The recipe is low sodium and diabetic-friendly. ——————————————————- Vegetarian Soups and Stews Sweet Potato Lentil Stew  Ingredients Prep: 5 min.
