Fitness 11

My new fitness goal is to be able to push myself more by adding more weight when bench pressing. I can achieve this goal by increasing the amount of weight on the bar and when I am exercising my arm muscles I can push myself more. I know I am achieving this goal when I am able to lift more and my pull ups are cleaner/smoother.

Cora’s will not Disappoint, Taste Buds Are Delighted!

 

Before planting your foot on the floorboards at Cora’s, a welcoming host rushes to greet us. It’s simple to follow their peaceful vibration to our table. After strolling through the maze of tables and chairs, the waiter kindly commands us to take our seats. Their menu is packed with options. The fragrance of ancient coffee confronts us but the succulent smell of fruit and rich maple syrup helps to balance the punch.  The walls have a personality of their own, they obtain a different piece of art that whispers. The vibrant yellow walls instantly place us in a joyful mood. The background noise is like being a spy listing to others conversations underwater. The loud roar of the flames from the omelettes, demands attention and leads us in a trance. When picking up the frosty glass of delectable orange juice, it stings the tips of my fingers, but it successfully quenches my thirst.  Their creamy Nutella Waffles are picture perfect. The sticky Nutella hugs the toasted waffle. On the side of the masterpiece is a party of creatively sliced and diced fruit. Your mouth drools at first glance. Once the first bite is taken my taste buds explode like fireworks on Canada day. Coras wont leave my mind because of the wonderful memories I have with my family there. This meal has been so satisfying it is worth every cent of the fifteen-dollar cost. Delightful!

First They Came For…

Adapted from the poem by Martin Niemoller ” First they cam fro the jews” in response to the poem danger of silence.

First They Came For…..

First they came for the Football Players

and I did not speak out

because I was not a Football Player

Then they came for the Immigrants

and I did not speak out

because I was not an Immigrants

Then they came for the African Americans

and I did not speak out

because I was not an African American

Now when will they come for me

because I was too distracted or too unaware

to defend my friends and my family?
