EVERYDAY COOKING

AUTHOR DEBORAH BROOKS LANGFORD

Since I am prone to high cholesterol and fibromyalgia, cooking healthy means so much to me. Although I feel like I have a real problem and not making headway, I remember the doctors telling me that if you eat the right way, food will heal you faster than pills.

I refused the medications that were shoved in my face and decided to change the way I cook. But I have worked to modify my diet to help reduce some of the cholesterol that I intake. I know I am a borderline diabetic which means that I have to watch starches, sugars and carbs. I also have to be careful of calories because I am overweight.

So for me, cooking is an experiment in keeping myself healthy and off as many medications as possible. Right now, everything I eat is diet controlled. So every day is a challenge to see how different foods and ingredients affect my sugar levels. I also have to consider the amount of cholesterol in my ingredients. I had great cholesterol levels when I was younger but times change and within the last five years my cholesterol levels have steadily increased. Now it’s time to work even harder to cook healthier, better food that will work on my overall health and help me lose weight at the same time.

I’m well over 50 pounds overweight, but my goal is to get back down to 130 for now which will mean losing another 40 pounds. It’s coming off slowly but it is coming off. Six years ago my husband was in a wheelchair following a motorcycle accident and could not walk without assistance. I had worked out everyday but when I had to start caring for him daily I quit the workouts and my weight added on fast. After talking to my doctors I eat all fresh with no fast foods and nothing from the middle of the grocery store. The raw foods are the best. I have found that I hate to eat my vegetables real soft. I love my crunchy vegetables and have come up with some great recipes.

I have published five cookbooks with my poet and author friends from all over the world. But I am sorry to say they are not about real fresh foods. Since I have started eating fresh I now want to publish nothing but fresh and lean cookbooks. I have researched ways to reduce belly fat and I have found that, of course, it’s the foods we eat.

“If you want to get a flat belly fast you MUST eat plenty of the right kinds of fat. Not just any fat will do...some fats are no good at all while others are health boosting and fat-burning rock stars! Here are a few of my favorites that I personally try to eat just about everyday...

1. Avocados - Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats as well as loads of vitamins to boot (E, K and C to mention just a few). Not only that, but they pack a serious fiber punch, 5 grams in just a small half cup! Between the fiber and healthy fat content, you'll have no problem staying full for hours after enjoying a delicious avocado. It makes for a great snack, side dish with dinner, addition to salads and of course there's always guacamole!

2. Eggs - Eggs are a great source of fat as well as high quality protein. Just make sure you don't skip out on the yolk! Why? The yolk is by far the most nutritious part of the egg, providing over 11 vitamins and minerals including nearly 100% of the daily RDI of energy-boosting B12 from just 3 eggs daily. They are a great breakfast item but of course they can be enjoyed at any time of day!

3. Coconut oil - Coconut oil is one of the richest sources of perhaps the most beneficial fat known to man, medium chain triglycerides (MCTs). MCTs have been shown to improve brain function, lower cholesterol, improve skin and hair health, and best of all - burn more fat!

Combine all three in an omelet for breakfast and you'll be well on your way to feeling full and burning fat for the rest of the day!

I grew up cooking hamburger helper and whatnot because I was the oldest child. My father was in the Army and quite often off to war. My mom worked all the time so it was my job to cook for us eight kids. Since then I have learned to use wine and herbs in my cooking to improve flavor and have learned to use little to no oil in almost everything I cook. I have learned some techniques that serve me well in the kitchen and I get a great amount of praise for the things I do cook from friends and neighbors that have sat in my house and eaten what I’ve prepared.

I really thought about going to some culinary school or Olive Garden to learn much more than what I know now and eventually possibly write my own healthy recipe books. So that is why I am writing this book. I hope to make more items from scratch, use fewer shortcuts and be able to cook tasty healthy foods that will be good for anyone with any type of medical condition that puts them on dietary restrictions.

All my recipes can be modified rather easily. I don’t cook with much salt, preferring herbs for flavor. Plus I have my own herbs I grow in my garden. I love spicy foods but I cannot eat them like I used to. I do realize that not everyone does and I know that sometimes people will need to cut back on some of the heat I add to many of my dishes. I love hot peppers…just not too hot. I don’t eat any hot peppers anymore but at one time I was not afraid to try anything. I see foods at the market that I have never cooked and I am always tempted to buy them because I want to experiment. I’ll take a recipe someone else has done and turn it around to suit me. Once I’ve experienced what they have created, I love to modify things to find new flavors, new combinations and new techniques.

Cooking isn’t just a passion for me; it’s a way to survive. It’s a way to make sure that I’m going to live another 30 or more years without having serious problems with my health. I have a chronic illness called fibromyalgia so I should not have any prepackaged, canned or frozen foods, etc. All my foods have to be fresh. I need to stay off bread, potatoes, rice, noodles, beef or pork. My meals contain lots of filtered water of course.

BANANAS

Breakfast.... Oatmeal with 1/2-teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of honey and 1/3-cup fresh blueberries  

Snack… Apple or peach fresh

Lunch… 2 egg omelet with onion, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, 1/2 cup cheese or whatever vegetables you want to use or eat a salad with red wine vinegar...

DO NOT EAT STORE DRESSING. THEY HAVE CHEMICALS YOUR BODY DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH.

Plus, I make my own dressings with mostly oil, vinegar and herbs.

I need to have protein. 

1/2-cup coffee or tea and milk 

Water, water, water 

Snack fruit 

Dinner. Grilled Chicken Breast or Salmon (any fish) 

Salad, steamed vegetables or grilled vegetables

This is the best way to eat for my condition.

Finally… walk, walk and walk. This is the best for our bodies and drink lots of filtered water always.

MY COLORADO TRIP

MAY 1ST 2017

OUR ROUTE 66 TRIP TO COLORADO

By Deborah & Van Langford

Through the end of April and the beginning of May my husband and I had the joy of taking a trip travelling on parts of Route 66 to Colorado to visit my wonderful sweet friend and Facebook sister, Susan Joyner-Stumpf and her husband, Howard. We met their dogs, cats and horses named Beau, Max, Poco, a small bull dog Zorro and several more. We had a ball.

We started out from home traveling via Memphis, Tennessee to take I-40 through Arkansas and Oklahoma to the Panhandle of Texas. It took me on past memories of my father driving us from California to our home in North Carolina when my uncle Bobby Dean had been killed in a car accident. We drove Route 66 like crazy to get home. Those were trying times.

My husband, Van and I explored with delight from one landmark to another. When we arrived on Route 66 in Shamrock, Texas we were so thrilled that we stopped for the night. There in Shamrock we had dinner at Big Vern’s Steakhouse and Saloon.

The restored 40s era Conoco gas station and attached restaurant is now a museum with gift shop and very friendly attendants who provide a history lesson free of charge.

Thetall tower gracing its roof. 2- The U-Drop Inn Cafe, named by a local schoolboy in a contest that awarded him $50.00 for his idea. 3 - A retail store, never used as such, but soon taken over by the cafe folks for use as a ballroom and overflow dining room. The building was a regional attraction in its day; neon lighting, deco details and glazed ceramic tile walls. It gradually took a beating, the biggest hit coming in the 70s when it was painted red, white and blue and converted to a FINA station. The building operated successfully for most of its life, finally closing completely in the mid-1990s. The building is now owned by the town and used as a visitor center.

The landmark was on Route 66, we were visiting it now as a museum and gift shop. I could envisioned my dad stopping here for the night at the motel across the street. I was told it had been there since the 40s during the peak of Route66 popularity.We were excited to drive on to our destination of Penrose, Colorado where Susan and Howard live on their ranch. As we took a nostalgic ride on Route 66 we let the golden age of travel whisper to us through brightly colored neon signs, quaint motels, drive-in movie theaters and friendly small towns in the Panhandle of Texas. At Amarillo, Texas we headed north through a section of New Mexico on Hwy 64/87 to get to I-25 traveling towards Pueblo, Colorado. In the state of Texas, U.S. Route 66 extended across the Panhandle from its designation in 1926 to its decommissioning in 1985. Before the U.S. Route system, this route was a system of interconnected highways from New Mexico to Oklahoma. It was considered a part of the Texas highway system from New Mexico to Amarillo and a portion of the Ozark Trails. In Amarillo the Ozark route split off to a more southerly route while general low-grade roads continued east. This entire route closely paralleled the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway. Most construction through the Panhandle was slow and remained low-grade roads through most of the 1920s.

Dwight David “Ike” Eisenhower (October 14, 1890 – March 28, 1969) was a five-star general and Supreme Allied Commander during the D-Day invasion of France in 1944. Also he became the 34th President of the United States from 1953 through 1961. General Eisenhower was in Germany and saw the autobahn and realized the United States needed a better road system. On June 29, 1956 President Eisenhower signed the law that created America’s Interstate Highway System, which is now named in his honor. Eisenhower first saw the need for a network of high-speed motorways in the United States 37 years earlier during a grueling, cross-country road trip that tested the military readiness of America’s roadways. It turned out they were not up to the task so the idea of our interstate system of roadways began to take shape.

The desert high plains were amazing. Although we knew we were in mountains with an elevation of around 5,000 feet it looked more like desert. We went through Pueblo and before we knew it we were near Penrose at the Stumpsranch.

We were so excited about being there and I got to meet the horses and I fell in love with Beau, Poco and Lazer.

The men went to Wal-Mart while Susan and I took off for our own adventure…to Coyote’s Coffee Den where they have poetry reading, plus bands inside and out depending on weather. We were able to sit and enjoy the good timeshad great coffee and a glass of wine. We had so much fun at the Coyote’s Coffee Den. It is the Royal Gorge area’s premiere coffeehouse.

Susan and I had a blast. Coyote’s Coffee Den is a true treasure being tucked away on Hwy 115 in the small town of Penrose. It is a perfect stop for lunch and drinks. Service was fast, efficient and the food was so good. We liked our quiche; salads, coffees and we topped it off with a glass of wine.

Later that week we were delighted to go on the Royal Gorge train ride complete with lunch on board.

The lunch was great and the train ride was exciting as it passed right through the mountain gorge. We saw a few mountain goats that blended into the scenery, plus a coyote or two.

It was a most spectacular rail journey through the Royal Gorge of the Rocky Mountains aboard the restored vintage railroad train. In 1905, President Teddy Roosevelt described it best as, “the trip that bankrupts the English Language.”

“All Aboard” the Pike’s Peak Cog Railway.

This 3 hour and 10 minute trip up Pike’s Peak spans over 8.9 miles of track. The first third of the trip is along Ruxton Creek in Englemann Canyon. Here the steep track follows a cascading stream through dense stands of Englemann spruce, Colorado blue spruce, and Ponderosa pine trees. However, because of deep snow on the track we were only able to travel up the mountain to 11,000 feet instead of getting to the top at over 14,000 feet.

The snow was still deep during the last week in April. It was so deep we could not travel any further. We were at the halfway point and had a rest stop for 30 minutes before travelling back down the mountain.

Roosevelt described it best as “the trip that bankrupts the English languag

Cave of the Winds

You wind your way through nearly a half-mile of Colorado caverns, experience total cave darkness and explore the wonders of the underground. Cave of the Winds Mountain Park is one of the highest show caves in the country at an elevation of 6,000 feet! It was beautiful and dark and cold, Susan and I had a hard time climbing up steep small stairs into a winding cavern that literally took our breath away. I think between exhaustion (we are not young any more ha, ha) and being claustrophobic we had to turn around and go back. We loved the gift shop though!

Our last evening in Colorado was our 19^th wedding anniversary and the Stumpfs took us out for dinner at the “Black-eyed Pea” where the food was great but we were a little sad. The next day we would be leaving Colorado to travel to Branson, Missouri.

Two nights before leaving we encountered a snowstorm that dropped about 3 inches at Penrose so Van had to sweep our car.

When leaving the ranch I looked back waving at Susan who had tears running down her face. It broke my heart that I was leaving my Facebook sister of seven years. Also, my parents would have loved Susan and Howard with all the animals on their ranch.

As we left Colorado we headed towards Dodge City, Kansas on Route 50 because we wanted to see Boot Hill. However, along the way in western Kansas we saw 18 inches of snow still there from the night before. There were cars and trucks alongside the road that had been buried by snowplows in drifts up to 6 feet. Plows were still clearing parking lots of businesses as we drove by.

The snowline ended before we arrived in Dodge City where the weather was warmer. We arrived outside the Long Branch where Miss Kitty entertained Matt Dillon on “Gunsmoke.” No, we didn’t see them but I got a picture of the Long Branch and a few other reconstructed storefronts.

The exciting and unique story of early Dodge City is told daily along Front Street at the Boot Hill Museum. The area is rich in history that dates back to the Native Americans who thrived off the land and the buffalo. The establishment of the Santa Fe Trail brought settlers to the area and introduced the potential of what is known as the Great American Desert. The arrival of the U. S. Army prompted the building of Fort Dodge and soon to follow was the establishment of a rough and rowdy cattle town known as Dodge City. Through the efforts of Wyatt Earp and other peace officers, law and order was finally recognized and Dodge City became a civilized frontier town and a center of commerce on the prairie.

It was time to hit the road again so we were off to Branson, Missouri, which is one of my favorite places to visit.

We have done so much in Branson and We have Zip Lined.

No that’s not us, ha ha.

The Missouri Ozarks and Table Rock Lake combine to provide a beautiful backdrop for one of the golf world’s truly unique events at The Big Cedar Lodge.

BRANSON YACHT CLUB is where we stay.

Our favorite place to visit near Branson is the Ye Olde English Inn in Hollister, Missouri.

Back In May 2011, I had the pleasure of meeting Janet Dailey when she had just opened the Ye English Inn.

In 2010 Janet and her partners bought the then-closed Ye English Inn and began its renovation. Janet, a best-selling Author, renamed it Ye Olde English Inn, which opened on April 1, 2011. The restored twenty-one-room inn has preserved one of the major historical structures in the Branson area and has fueled the resurgence of Downing Street.

Here is Janet and I at the Old Rock Fire Place in the Inn.

“It is just beautiful,” Janet says. “We don’t have anything else like this in Hollister or Branson. We had to save it.”

Janet appreciates the craftsmanship of the rockwork, the hanging balcony, and other architectural details. Especially noteworthy are the art pieces built into the rock walls, including a fish, a ship, and a crest. She incorporated the crest into the hotel’s new logo.

During renovation, she didn’t discover any old guest books or records, but according to local lore, Harry S. Truman stayed at the inn as did Cary Grant, Bing Crosby and Clark Gable. Many celebrities came to the area for fishing vacations. Only two historical items were found: the old fishing reel in the inn’s Riverstone Restaurant and the Austin Moore ferry poster that now hangs in the inn’s Black Horse Pub. Janet says that the inn is believed to be haunted by the ghost of William Johnson, the original owner. A man in a hat and long coat is said to be seen in the lobby or on the staircase.

When we went back I was hoping to see Janet again but I found out she had passed away. I was so sad. We had lost a great lady.

The Black Horse Pub is part of the Ye Olde English Inn.

We spent a week in Branson. What a great two weeks traveling from Memphis via Route 66 through Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and finally back through Kansas to Branson. By then we were ready to head back home to Covington, Tennessee.

All had a great time.

Thank you, Howard and Susan Stumpf for showing us your section of the world. There are so many memories we have to keep. Now it’s your turn to visit us. We have your room ready for you here in Covington.

Ben, how long have you been writing?

Debbie, I have been writing 30 years, It took first five years to develop the voice I have now.

I had explored with a lot of rhyming and decided it was not for me.

I do use rhymes for satire.

Ben, are your excited about your first new book? And tell me about this book?

Debbie, I am so excited about my new book, the title "Tales From Dystopia", dystopia is a word you don't hear a lot of.. it is really the opposite of utopia....it's basically poems and prose's that express my vision of a dystopian future. It covers aspects of a dystopian vision of our personal lives. Our work lives and family and even our sex lives. How it relates to neighbors we no longer know, and in general our alienation from ourselves.

Ben, what started you writing?

Debbie, I started writing in my mid twenties. I met a woman other than my wife that I was very much attracted to and I wanted to have an affair with her. I was torn, between my attraction for this other woman and my love and my devotion to my wife. I turned to poetry to help me resolve that conflict. I decided after writing many poems about this, and that I could not have an affair with this woman..

I learned from that process that poetry and writing creatively was a powerful tool for resolving internal conflict. I started looking around in my life in general I found other conflicts that I could use poetry to help me resolve. This blossom out into an understanding in expressing conflict even though I couldn't resolve them. The more I wrote and the more I thought I realized that life is full of conflict and that poetry in writing creatively touches all aspects of life. Because life involves conflict.

Debbie, my wife Barbara has believed in me from day one. She supported me and believed me from the beginning and that goes back 39 years. There is no way, as a poet, humble as I am, without her support, and her belief in me be where I am today.

You can find Author H. Bennett Hubbard Facebook and Lulu.Com, Kindle Fire and his fan page on Facebook.

Thank you Ben, for that great interview..

Baby Starr

2013-02-19T16:38:00.000-08:00

Look at you sitting there

With your chubby hand

Holding my heart with your laugh

Knowing where I stand

Sweet Baby Starr

I know where you are

Starring at you sleeping

Listening to your baby breath

Waiting for your laugh

Hearing the morning sounds

Under the white mounds

Praying a mother’s prayer

While stroking your golden hair

You are the reason I could fly

My baby

You are the reason I feel so alive

My Baby Starr

Look at you growing up

Asleep upon your bed

Holding your teddy bear

Felling such love and care

With your little arms around my neck

Oh Lord, forgive me I yelled

For some little mistake

That she made

My little Starr

Kissing my little ones tear stained face

Promising to be better

With each daily light

Holding each other tight

Chasing the fireflies

In the hot humid night

So tiny

But oh so bright

She sat on the table

Swinging her little legs

Her body as released as it could be

Her thought at that time

Was telling the jokes to me

The little girl sat by her mom’s side

“Mom, when will I grow up?”

Patience dear, it will be soon enough

Sweet sixteen her first schools dance

Oh where did the years go by?

“Will anyone dance with me?”
She asks me why

“Patience, my dear soon enough!”

They said you were wild

I said you were free

They said you wouldn’t listen

I said you would to me

Young girl grew into womanhood

And marriage she did go

Love came and love went

Finally one true love endured

The beautiful bride looked

Towards her mother

“Can I make a marriage work?”

“Patience, my dear, patience, soon enough”

Mom it’s Valentine’s Day

I want you here with me

I feel like a litle girl

That I want to be

Will I ever be able to see you again?

In the heavenly skies

A cold autumn day, the last leaves

Falling from the trees

Tears falling like rain

“Mom when will I ever see you again?

This is Baby Starr, looking for you”

Soft upon the wind came the reply

“Patience, my Starr, soon enough!”

My Heart Beats Hard As I think Of You

2013-02-19T14:45:00.001-08:00

My Heart Beats Hard

It was dark, this night, until you kiss my lips to you
I say yes to my heart as I call out your name
As it beats so hard as my mind tells of us
In one blinding moment, my love, I say yes!

Let it burn while I cry
As my heart beats out your name
can hear myself thinking of yours
Laying in your arms
Feeling you so close
I say yes to you love as I took the fall

You heard me thinking out your name
My heart always knew to say yes!

Watch it pour all over us!

As we don’t underestimate our love;
As it rains our adoration for the other
I heard your name and I cannot settle
I give you my name to say as the dance of the living
I knew I couldn’t stay away!

Never could I stay from you!
It isn’t over; I wish nothing but the best
As this day is the time of our lives…
I will never find someone like your name!

My heart beats hard as my mind thinks of us…
You and me together, nothing oh nothing gets better
Your name burns on my mind; my heart burns your name
You burn on my lips!

As my mind thinks of us;
heart thinking out your name…
As it burns on my lips;
As you make me feel our love
My heart wants to know your mind as it thinks!

There is nothing there my mind wouldn’t do
As I know ours is the highway of our love
We haven’t seen anything yet, to make us feel our desire.
As my heart beats hard as my mind thinks of us!

Different Ages, Different Loves

2013-02-19T14:29:00.001-08:00

When she was just fifteen…
She was but a child
But a sweet teen
She was kind of wild
Full of desire
Excited about love
In the ivory palaces of her mind
Which rose a white dove:
With a fury
Flawless in a never changing
World ...

She was just fifteen….

When she was twenty one
She was an adult
Unfolding splendor in the shades of heaven
Which she bought
To place a kiss that multiplied seven
With her sweet rapture
With beauty that glistens
With every rainbow
That played in with a light that shines
Looking for love
Like a delicate flower
With a heart of amorous whispers
So pleasing to her design
She was but twenty one….

When she was just thirty two
She had children
Her lovely face never hidden
With simple stories of heaven
With letters of praise
But still looking for love
Where love burns brilliantly
But all in the wrong places
Where the fullness of sweetness
Surrounds her with such wonders
She was but thirty two

When she was just forty five
She was abounding in glory
With hands holding
But she couldn’t say the words
With the sun bulging
Pulsating in her throat
Nothing could escape her sweet star
The word is love but still looking
With sweet air that turns
Mournful into light rain
Of her mind
She was just forty five...

When she was just fifty
Heaven was just beyond her door
Looking in the mirror
Where she didn’t know anymore
She thought she found love
In the winds of her chariot
But he went away
Her passion the most mindful of her soul
With grace and beauty in its divine power
She was just fifty...

When she was fifty five
The winds of time
On a hot summer night
Then she saw the light
And that
Took away the right
Of sweet love she thought
Where a scared space of the world
Let go and she sought
She was only fifty five...

When she was just sixty years old
She had lost love
It was not always so
A star she couldn’t resist
And found love
Her love was earth rising
With the most remarkable being
With a noble soul
Of denying love to be
Sought a different oblivion
Now all that remain are memories
Drowning the already dead
She was just sixty

Sweet letters of her soul from the beginning to the end; her lovely face never ending:
With scared looks and noble gesture her eyes were inflamed with the sun, basting in the glory of night.
Reaching for the one that she truly loves:
DIFFERENT AGES AND HER DIFFERENT LOVES

She had a heart of Glass

2013-02-19T12:48:00.001-08:00

Her heart so pierced
So like glass
To be sure
Of the love that’s lasts
That has pierced her heart
As it bleeds to her side
The heart he broke
This night

Oh her heart that breaks
So long
That it was Devine
And stared into the stars
As a smiling child
Like a moment in time
Her heart broke like a piece of glass
Again and again the same

Time and time again
It lasts
Waking up to broken
Beauties
With feathery pillows of
Down
With ivory towers
As her heart
Flies home

The white rose
Simply untimely miscue
Dumped its white
In their prime
Pieced her heart
This very day
With spun fancies
In her sleep
Her heart will break
Like the
White rose just as it is

Her Heart will Rain
Red as the red
With silver fields
As she runs
Will build her fire
In some tiny space
Sitting on tattered
Lace
She has a heart of glass this day
But lost it somewhere along the way
Meeting the love she thought she had
Losing another that made her glad
So losing the heart made of glass

Walking down the garden path of her heart
She felted so serene this day
She knew
Although her heart broke into
For amid all the great

Play my heartstrings

2013-02-19T11:47:00.000-08:00

Play my heartstrings one more time
I beg from my past.
To have to hold the heartstrings that I so long for to last;
To be so furlong to me I say
My love it can’t be the hold you have on me
To see your face one more time
To know the love of you some day
The kiss of my destiny
Brings me back to the present
With you by my side
Pull the covers closer to me my love
Winter can’t be trusted I know
These days I own the ocean
With you pulling my heartstrings
touch of your sweet being
The kiss to kiss of our minds should have a safe place
To wrap my limbs so close to yours
Brings me back to our hearts;
So please play my heartstrings so that I may
Not have the time left alone.
That I may not finish off too soon.
Whatever we do we will be here waiting for us.
The world is full of stinging faces
Not yet in their mode
But the love is here and now
With the heartstrings is mine
I tried, but the island left us behind
Never really heading skyward
Until your lips came to play
With those of mine this day;
It’s so hard to say good bye
To the heartstrings of the past
But my love waits for me to hold me so fast
So my love of new, play my heartstrings
So I may say to you, the fullness of you come so sweetly
The sweetness of our love
The love of your breath
Reaching me this day;
To play my heartstrings as we come what may.

Silent Screams turns to Silent Tears

2012-04-15T19:40:00.000-07:00

By Deborah Brooks-Langford

My Silent Screams

Along this silent path I do walk

Tears streaming down my cheeks

With wind whispers on my neck

His last words touch my ears

Over life he casts a snare

His dying wish

I do hear

With sorrow and despair

Holding in silent screams

That will turn

To silent tears

Among the star filled skies

In the middle of the moonlight

Out comes silhouette

For among the shadows he will be

Am I the person who is constantly hurting?

I try hard to be someone else

Someone who is aware of how I felt

The heart that beats

Is bittersweet

So release me from your memory

Oh Memories

Every day I wake in this barren place

Stare into black abyss

All I want is to be free again

To feel again

To feel warm and bright

The day is long

And the nights so drawn

Please release me from these silent

Dreams

Calm and collected the mask reveals

Nothing

How it hides

The Silent Screams that turns to Silent Tears

Wow Debbie! We felt the despair of a broken heart in the middle of the might waking up next to an unwanted love. I would feel so sorry for people that actually cannot find real love...and the strong reason to be alive!

Your sister did indeed bestow a very touching title to your creation here. Your legion of followers also felt and commented on your work as I knew they would. A poet who can stir and mover a readers soul has done her/his work.

You my dear have done just this, along with the addition of Barbara's fine song Memory, it painted the beauty and sadness and melancholy so well with your title. We all have memories and you touched a chord here for many of us. Well done, bravo and voted Up.

The Day He Saved Us

2012-04-08T01:40:00.000-07:00

By Deborah Brooks-Langford

Jesus Praying

An Easter Poem

The is my 7th poem of the month of April celebrating National Poetry Month.

Because of your Love

It’s because of your love

You did it for me

Just for me’

Your love

You washed away

My tears

My fears

Oh how precious

Is the blood

How can I ever repay you?

This sinful woman that I am

That you love

No matter what

Because of your love

I can live again

You shed your blood

Just for you and you and me

Love covers all wrongs

This kind of forgiveness

Then one day

They came to kill you

You handed your hands to them

Because you love me

You died that day on that hill

For me

Three days you were alive

For me

And you rose again

For me

Because of your love

Your love is the symbol of eternity

It wipes out all sense of time

Destroying all memory of a beginning

And all fear of an end.

Speaking the truth in love

We grow to become in every

Respect the mature body of him

Who is the Head, that is?

Christ

From Him

The whole body joined and held together

By every supporting ligament

Grows and builds

Itself in love

MY Lord~

What can I say?

You are so awesome

So Grand

You are YOU

Love big

Forgive big

Love the other person

Love covers all wrongs

That You say

I am making a love pact

With You

The Great I Am

Our Lord has risen for you and me and everyone.

He died for all, even this sinful woman.

I thank you Lord.

Tomorrow is My Son's birthday

2012-04-04T10:53:00.000-07:00

by Deborah Brooks-Langford

Happy Birthday Aaron

See all 5 photos

Source: personal

Aaron is an April Fools Child

I want to tell you about my youngest son Aaron. It’s his birthday. I am so proud of him.

Here he is with his beautiful wife Gladys. He is my pride and joy.

They have three children. Franny and Jessica and Sebastian.

To my son it’s all about family that he loves dearly. He is very protective over each one of them.

I can tell you so many sweet or funny stories about him.

There are two stories I want to tell you about Aaron.

I had him on April 1^st. I was hoping for a girl, I already had one boy. The doctor knew I wanted a girl. (We didn’t have ultra sound back then, so we didn’t know the sex.) At first the doctor told me Aaron was a boy, and then he said to me “Oh April’s fool you really have a girl). I almost jumped off the table and then the doctor said “Oh Sorry he really is a boy!”

When I held Aaron in my arms it was love at first sight. He was prettier than any little girl and sweeter.

(Now you can’t tell Aaron any of the first stories. LOL)

The Camping trip

The Scary Alligator

And then:

There was the the time we were in Florida camping (he was about eight or nine years old). Aaron and his brother were standing on a cliff over the Bay in or near Tampa Bay and they were fishing and there was an alligator right under his fishing rod. I saw the alligator and screamed and ran and grabbed him and pulled him back to shore. I made him drop his fishing rod and I thought he was going to have a fit. All he wanted was his fishing rod. He wasn’t scared of the alligator at all!!

What I want to say about him the Most.

But what I want to say the most about him is he is the most dependable and awesome son. Even when he was young he has always been dependable. He is so hard working and always there for us if we need him

My Love for Him is so strong and makes me so proud to call him MY Son!

His Favorite group is Red Hot chili Peppers

Aaron and his music

Aaron always loved to listen to the band Red Hot Chili Peppers and of course my son loves the Eagles. (He got that from me.. LOL).

Aaron And Gladys and Franny

Source: personal

My son with his family

That’s Franny their oldest daughter.. She has Spina Bifida. You ask what this is.

A sac like structures on an infant's back at birth. In other words she was born with a hole in her back. The doctors at the children’s hospital in Corpus Christi Texas saved her life. And I am so glad because we would not know what to do without Franny. Franny loves her Daddy. And her Daddy loves her.

It is so much fun to watch Aaron with his children. He adores them

That's Jessica

Source: Personal

That’s Jessica their middle child,

Her baby pictures are Aaron all over again. When she was first born I called her Aaron a couple of times she was identical. She is our doll.

Our Sebastian

Source: personal

The third child

I think you already met Sebastian his birthday is right before his dad..

I feel like I have the best son and grandchildren and I can't forget his beautiful and wonderful wife and my daughter in law Gladys.

My Heart is so proud and so full of love I am so blessed

I thank GOD every day for them.

Tears of disappointment

2012-03-29T11:35:00.000-07:00

By Deborah Brooks

Oh the Tears of Life

Tears threatened to flow.

As she listened to the words her husband Al was saying. "I’m having dinner with a client right after work, so I should be home by 7 p.m. Can I bring the Tylenol home then? Things are just really busy here and I don’t think I can get away before then."

Just a half hour earlier she called Al asking if he could use his lunch hour to pick up a bottle of infant’s Tylenol and bring it home. Their two-month old had received five vaccinations that morning and she arrived home to discover they were completely out of the pain reliever. Not eager to pack four young kids in their minivan a second time that day, she called him in desperation.

Her knight in shining armor hesitantly agreed to come to her rescue. But within 30 minutes, things had changed. He could not—or would not, as she was quick to think—come to her rescue after all.

"I’ll go get it," She snapped, not trying to cover the disappointment in her voice. "I don’t want her to have to wait all day for the medicine. She might get a fever and since we are supposed to be going out of town tomorrow, I don’t want to risk that."

“Oh about that, I don’t think we can.” He said.

“What you are canceling? What? “She slammed the phone down in tears. She told her children it was time to go to the store.

"Why?" the oldest asked.

Frustrated, she answered, "Because Papa can’t go to the store. So we have to."

"I don’t want to go," she replied.

My sentiments exactly, she thought.

While she is normally careful not to speak poorly of their papa, she gave in to her anger, deciding not to guard her tongue. "We have to go. Believe me; Mommy’s not too happy with Papa right now."

Not too happy was an understatement! Inside she was fuming. On a scale of 1 to 10, her upset odometer was nearing 11. She couldn’t believe he wasn’t able to sneak away for forty-five minutes to help her. Forty-five minutes and now he is canceling their trip! To her, it seemed like nothing in the scheme of an eight-to nine-hour workday. Especially since tonight he had a work-related dinner and would be home later than normal, leaving her to handle the evening meal and possibly bedtime on her own. This was happening way too much.

As she helped the girls put on their shoes and buckled them into their car seats, she was determined Al would hear about this when he got home.

But He didn’t come home.

She sat waiting and waiting. Finally the kids were down and the baby did have a fever. She couldn’t get him on his cell phone. So she just waited. Sitting in the living room staring at the door in the dark and she waited.

Finally eleven o’clock came around and he stumbled into the door smelling like liquor. He was drunk, and she was furious.

Tears In Heaven

My tears are in heaven

Oh The Tears of Life

For you this day

They have fallen to earth

For you right now

Are you slipping away?

Her fears were too much for her. They had all these children and so much together but lately he was slipping away.

Relationships go through various changes. Before the children come and after they come...marriage is a unit of 2 people, and they both have to work on it. Sadly, it's not worth if only one is pulling the reins. Nice writing Debbie :-)

Voted up! Super and powerful hub and as we read this this scene is being played out over and over again. Hate guys who do things like this and still can say the words I love you.

wonderful1 Level 4 Commenter 3 hours ago

Like the other two comments: I've been there and done that. In fact, this scenario happened a few days before my ex gave me "the speech" and left for the other woman.

And surprisingly: being a single mother of three can be a challenge financially, but knowing that I am doing things on my own is so empowering. I feel sorry for other strong women who are countless times disappointed in men who can't "man up" and be a father. These life experiences are what make us stronger and wiser while Drama King men are left behind in their pathetic existence.

Thanks for sharing, Deborah-- it is a emotional tale of what happens to so many. Great Hub.

Nancy Drew is she real?

A Review and Commentary by Deborah Brooks-Langford

Nancy Drew "The Secret Of The Old Clock"

Nancy Drew

Nancy Drew has appeared in a number of series over the years.

The first and longest-running of these is the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories series, begun in 1930 and ended in 2003. The first spin-off series, the Nancy Drew Files, was begun in 1986. Since then, Nancy Drew has appeared in a number of other series and books AND EVEN ON SCOOBY DOO.

Intoduction

175 Books

1930 – 2003 there were 175 books wrote with different authors...

The Beginning

It was the beginning

At first, Nancy Drew was on her own solving cases, which she was quite good at. And then...

Then Nancy met the hardy boys. Was it true love?

Nancy meets The Hardys

The first fifty-six titles in the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories series were published between 1930 and 1979. Beginning in 1959, prior volumes were revised and shortened; entire plots were sometimes changed. As many as five authors are known to have collaborated on some of the volumes: the writer of the original outline, the ghostwriter of the manuscript, the editor, the writer of a new outline for a revised story, and the author of the revised version of the story..

Frank saves Nancy this is when she disappears for 6 months "Arson and Old Lace".

You be the judge

Starting in 1930 – E. Strotemeyer wrote the first three.

From 1937 – 1980 H. S. Adams wrote 41 books which they all were revised in 1959-1975.

H.S. Adams wrote two more with Nancy Axelrad, she goes on to write two more

Nancy Drew met the Hardy Boys in the Super Sleuths from (1981-1984)

They went on to do mysteries together Detective Mystery’s that is between (1984-1985)

And then there was the Super Mystery Series (1988–1998)

But the big question is did they fall in love, and Okay let’s assume they fell in love. Did she fall in love with both of them?

I will let you be the judge.

Frank would have to be crazy to want Nancy Drew... or would he?

What a feeling

Frank is crazy for Nancy...Neither one wants to admit it. But the whole world was routing for them to hook up.

they can’t fight this feeling.. Yeah she had it big time for Frank…

Nancy and Frank sitting in a tree....

Now come on they have to get together all ready..

Hit and Run Holiday

Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys

Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys had a good time together. Solved a lot of cases and even fell in love. What a great series this was. Books and TV show.

I started reading Nancy Drew before I started reading Agatha Christie. I loved the hard covers. I read some of The Nancy Drew Files. No actress ever quite fit how I saw Nancy in my mind when I read the stories. Great article.

I too grew up reading Nancy Drew books. I would borrow them from the school library and read them in front of the fire in one sitting. I recently purchased a set of Nancy Drew books for my daughter (she can't read yet, but she will one day!) Interesting hub. I didn't realize that Carlolyn Keene was a pen name used by a syndicate of writers...

Nice lay out Debbie. Nancy drew on Scooby doo? Perfect rhyming for such arrangement. Those paper back stories are going into history now. The 80 years timeliner is perfectly explained and you did aN oustanding presentation of this subject and article.

A SHADOW OF WINGS

2012-02-14T21:45:00.000-08:00

by Deborah Brooks-Langford

To you my love ON VALENTINES DAY

Her wings were no more

The life was gone of

Her loveliness

The memories of the ash sky

Was her corner of Eden?

But that didn’t say

Very much

On clouds of starry eyes

With a heart filled

With golden vessels

And a universe is woven

With a love divine

The stars of the land

Were gone

But the shadow of her wings

Flew on

She burned with passion

This night

With a tender majesty

In the darkness

The desire of her face

Told millions

She couldn’t help the feelings

Of wanting

But goodbye

You say to me?

No. I say I will not

The goodbyes are too

Long

The wings are still there

And my love still

So divine

So my love, please

I say

Maybe one day

Yours will be mine

Mine will be

The moment of the

Sweet moment

That we had that day

All I can say Happy Valentines

To you my love

This is too all the lovers out there, missing their loves ones. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO YOU ALL:

THE AFTER LOVE AFFAIR

2012-02-09T09:30:00.000-08:00

WHISPERING TO EACH OTHER

‘I LOVE YOU’

She knew there was no more time

Soft Sweet kisses

In the mirrored of pirouette

Arms so strong

Oh how wonderful to be held

And the opening of their eyes

To see

And die a thousand

Deaths

Of the last of the looks to be

With Each drop of HER

Is given to the memory

Of HIM

To try to put out the

Fires of their shimmering lives;

Received by grace

Of a sweet melody

With the passion of the moment

Was it never meant to be?

The flesh shall be given

And to behold this blessed day

With breathe as sweet as daises

And the touch of their hearts

Where his hand will lead

Her hand will follow

Where all their paths are praise worthy

And the treasures are buried in the precious pearls of

Life;

The pleasure most pleasing to her

In his strong face and loving

Eyes;

The sunrise upon their nights

Are missed with her life

Please hold me she begs

From afar

So this love affair is no more

So near

To give their love as in heavens

But to be reborn

Where the sky lowers

To see the secrets revealed.

To be, she says

AFTER THE LOVE AFFAIR;
