Fitzwell Cait/Narrow Calf Boots
I like these boots a lot. They would be cute with leggings or skinny jeans. I am still unsure if I'd get them in black or brown.
It is almost impossible to find boots that fit my size 12 feet and skinny calves. I like that Fitzwell offers boots in skinny to extra wide calf.
I was thinking about a family member that I am not close to,
and don't want to be. Once again their actions
reminded me why I do not have a desire to have a close relationship with this
person. When I was in high school I read
Susan L. Taylors’ Book In the Spirit. In this book she said that sometimes you must love people
from a distance. Her premise was that
having toxic or undeserving people around you can consistently cause you pain
and in some cases taint you.
Just because someone is related to you by blood do not give them the right to hurt you over and over again. Sometimes it is best, for your own good, to love someone from a distance. It is your responsibility to put your best interest and emotional health above all things. We seem to be glutens for punishment when it comes to family and loved ones.
What do you think?
A Cambridge scientist has recently published an image of Cleopatra based on years of research. The depiction of the Egyptian queen is of a mixed race women with round features. She looks brown to me. I was taught as a child that Cleopatra was Black. The drawings and busts I saw of Cleopatra always appeared to have African features and brown skin. I always thought that people liked to disregard this fact.
Of course what is considered Black varies from country to country. It’s more tribal than color across the globe, even in some countries in Africa. This is the case in Sudan where the Arabs are actually indigenous Black Africans that are Arabic speaking Muslims. The only difference between the Arabs and Blacks there are religion and nomadic way of life that the Muslims adopted from Arabs centuries ago.
Did anyone else think that Cleopatra was Black?
Not really but it was 46 degrees today. That doesn’t sound too warm I know, but it was -12 degrees on Saturday. I have never experienced this kind of cold in my life, ever. My skin was literally hurting. It never got that cold in South Korea or New Jersey. Apparently the temperature can go as low as -35. Damn!
I recently purchased my first pair of snow boots. They keep your feet warm in -40 degree weather. And they weren’t cheap either. I could have gotten them on sale if I didn’t have size 12 boats.
I bought these:
But really wanted these:
I couldn’t justify paying $250 for a pair of shoes.
