Amenemope belongs to the literary genre of “instruction” (Egyptian sebayt). It is the culmination of centuries of development going back to the Instruction of Ptahhotep in the Old Kingdom[1][6] but reflects a shift in values characteristic of the New Kingdom’s “Age of Personal Piety”: away from material success attained through practical action, and towards inner peace achieved through patient endurance andContinue reading “Amenemope an Egyptian Scribe”

Scribe of Egypt
This is a full 52 minute video on Scribes of Egypt. There has to be images on the walls in the temples. There is no space on the walls of temples without some sort of picture or inscription.

In Honor of Snow
I’d like more snow. I don’t like driving in it but I like to look at it. It’s so pretty and I like how everything seems quieter after it snows. (Global warming is no fun at all.) In honor of snow days here’s a poem from Robert Frost Stopping by Woods on a Snowy EveningContinue reading “In Honor of Snow”
Underground Community Good or Bad?
I’m feeling lazy today. I was on mom duty, and I don’t like to start projects unless I know I’m going to be able to work on them without being interrupted. So I didn’t get much done. Fortunately, I have had time to think about my novel and the underground community that’s a big partContinue reading “Underground Community Good or Bad?”
Headache, Rhizomes and Nerves.
My head is killing me. It started hurting around 11 and it stopped for a bit while I was in the shower in the dark but then came back. One of my long long time ago exboyfriends taught me about a pressure point between our pointer and thumb and that’s what helped for the tinyContinue reading “Headache, Rhizomes and Nerves.”

I hear some people have pretty cool experiences. I just know, I love baths. and I love when the lights are out while I’mContinue reading “Float Tanks”
Surprisingly Productive Day
Today I stayed home with my little one and worked on my novel. I’m working on the protagonist community and their belief system. I think developing my protagonist more will help me with details in the rest of the story. Especially since the protagonist is an entire community rather than just one individual. I wasContinue reading “Surprisingly Productive Day”
Writing and Working Out
Today was my first day back to the gym since I got sick. It felt nice to be there. I was more mindful of my mask because I don’t want to get anyone else sick but besides that, it was nice. I took it easy. I didn’t wanna over do it because I want toContinue reading “Writing and Working Out”
My Sundays
I spent the day cleaning and getting my home back in order. It was really nice to get things organized and feel like I have some order in my home again. On Sundays, I listen to Elevation Church with Steven Furtick, The Potter’s House with TD Jakes, and Serius Joy with Sensei Christopher Witecki. It’sContinue reading “My Sundays”
Valentines Day
I love Valentines day. I love the hearts and the pink things and all the romance. I tried for a little while to not like it, but it is just a holiday I love. I always hear guys saying, “It’s a Hallmark holiday, blah blah blah.” But why would you not want a designated dayContinue reading “Valentines Day”
