The Book Of Fate
I am Mariah Schualy, I am just an ordinary girl or so I was. I am a new yorker. I have always dreamed of being the most famous jewelry designer in the world. I have no car, and a studio apartment is what I call home. I work as a waitress saving every little bit I can to achieve my dream. In order to build my career I need money to start. One day on my shortcut in the alleyway something unusual caught my eye. It was a book with a blank black cover. When I opened it to the first page all it wrote “fate”. It was a book that could lead you to your dreams and desires by letting you know what path to choose for the best outcome for your life. Each event will be a new page telling you your 10 choices at the time that will change your life drastically. The back of each page tells you what will happen if you pick a path. Out of curiosity I flipped to the next page and it wrote 10 options and told me to choose. 1- skip work go home leave book, 2- turn back take long route with book, 3- put book down go to work, 4-keep book go to work, 5-keep book go left, 6-keep book go right, 7-keep book go straight stop and wait, 8-bring book home and research, 9- drop book and run to public place, 10-die. I looked at my options most ended with death or disability. My best option would be to keep the book. Option 2, option 8, and option 7. I have to go to work If I don't, I won't make enough to pay my rent. So I guess I will keep the book and take the long route to work. If I do this I will just make and avoid getting fired. I will also avoid being hit by a speeding car passing through a red light. *CRASH*. So it was right. If I continued like I was going to I would have gotten hit. The book is right and I should listen. Every event huh, so I guess I’ll find out when the next event is.

Maps And Meeting The Maasai
The heat was rising and the walk from the jeep to the village was long for any pregnant woman soon to give birth. Sweat ran down her temples as she waddled to a small village with a bucket and ceramic bowl she took from her apartment in Nairobi, and a fine sieve she fit inside the bowl.

Her two cents worth
I miss my Aunt. Her razor sharp wit and flair for the dramatic. I idolized this larger than life dynamo of a woman. Aunt Zu was the best combination of fearless leader, creator of theatrical magic and down to earth loving friend and confidant. I grew up playing in her world of theatrical magic, uproarious gatherings and wonderous wanderings.

The Adventures of Ameena Hawk
Ameena’s Dream was to study the world's master’s art in La Paris, an artist's paradise, and practice her painting style. She looked at nature as inspiration amongst her father’s country homestead, west of the city where she grew up. Ameena left for her usual walk surrounded by forest-trees. She longed to go somewhere she could only get to on foot, where she found a beautiful colored bird. She sat down on top of a fallen tree to admire him and capture his pattered feathers, and took a breath. The breath contained inside her lungs emptied from air to ether and ether back into the wind. Not long after, her foot collapsed, the bird bolted to his nest. A strong force of wind followed him, which left Ameena in shock and wonder.

Lost & Found
It’s not uncommon for things to come up missing. The average person loses something every other week. Wallets, keys, phone, purse… Nothing is out of the ordinary to be lost, but what if what was lost can never be found. What do you do then? Buy another of that item? I would suppose but not everything carries the same value as that once lost thing. What if it carried sentimental value or was a prized heirloom from your family? Buying another would be out of the question and the only thing you can do is find it!
