EL IS LOVE
My name is Jamila Yadira and you have reached my domain, mi casa, mi hogar...I am a black Panamanian American woman. My culture is rich and very diverse. I am West Indian, Jamaican, English, Scottish and Irish. I am fluent in English and in Spanish as well. I also am able to grasp some Italian as well as a little French. I was raised by my grandparents Joseph A. Foster and Gloria E. Foster. They were the best parents in the world. They have both since died and I can honestly say that through them and because of them I have known true love. I know what it looks like and I know what it is supposed to be.
As to what I do the answer is simple...I am a caregiver. I work hard, I always have. I make no excuses for what I do or for who I am. I am a woman on a mission however. Someone who refuses to sell herself short. I will not barter my soul or compromise my code of ethics to please anyone. And so for this I can honestly say that I am happy with me.
I consider this place to be my little corner of sanity, a place where I come to just emote and to just place my hand prints on destiny. I have finally arrived. And right here in this place I know that I can be as honest as I wish to be. For the only thing that matters here is that I am being truthful to my number one lover, caretaker, protector and friend, that special one is me.
I have chosen a career in nursing. It has been a dream of mine to become a nurse for a very long time. Ever since I first glimpsed Bobby Spencer on GH many years ago. I will be continuing my studies presently. I aim to reach the top of my field. I know that I will make it. There is so much that I wish to say about the path that I have chosen, but I shall allow my actions to speak even louder for me.
My interests vary and are many. I have learned through time and experience that being indecisive only leads to failure and disappointment. Action in conjunction with intent must work in unison to bring forth the desired result.
It is very important in my opinion to state that I am proud of everything that I have written on this site over the past three years. We live in a society where self expression is not always viewed upon in a favorable light. But one thing is for sure, personally speaking of course...I will speak my heart and piece whenever the feeling hits me. I have lived in silence for far too long...I have tasted freedom now and I refuse to go back to being just an observor in this thing we call life!
I am a woman who refuses to put her life in the hands of anyone, to let someone else choose for me. I make my decisions based on my knowledge and whatever it is that I am feeling at any given moment, no one can exert these rights but yours truly. I will not allow past faux pas to color my views on the present tense. It is up to me to play this game however I see fit. I will rise to the occassion each and every time I deem it as necessary. I am my own paladin, need I say more? Why not?
I am a strong woman, even better yet a willful person. I am quite stubborn and I make no apologies for this. I view my poetry as a means to deal with pain and life's little idiosyncrasies. Life has not always been kind. But I dare say that in the end it is what you make of it. I am not one to be subservient, needy or just plain defeatist. Hardships build character and I can say that I have grown quite a lot. I have learned to trust my instincts and to do whatever I believe to be right and just.
I can honestly say though that I loved somebody once, so very much, with all my heart. And there is nothing that can take that awareness away from me. I am open, my heart is whole and because of this I will love again. And this time it will be Incredible...it will fucking great!
In the end I will be an accomplished human being, wife, mother, lover and friend. I am what I was always meant to be. I am simply a Woman to Love.
I have been given an indian name by my wonderful friend Tender Wolf and it is 'Small Cloud'. Thank you much my friend, I love it!
OK so there are many things I love and enjoy. I love good music, champagne, babies, baby powder, white cake with butter cream frosting and rum custard filling, I love a beautiful home, fresh flowers, incense, candles, a wonderful fresh smelling home, beautiful things, I also love to read, I love decorating, baking, cooking (when I feel like it of course) interesting intellectual conversations, I love my sister's three cats Abel, Sienna and Mya...my babies I also love Bella, Joy and George (two dogs and a cat) mayonnaise on rice, chicken alfredo, west indian food, along with my Panamanian food, I love adventure, traveling, and just knowing that I am here, young, healthy and alive...I love life!!!
P.S. Oh yes and while I am at it, let me just say that I absolutely abhorr caviar. In my opinion, it is the most vilest creation known to man, this along with pollution, guns, stupid people and George W. Bush of course. Just simply reduntant.
I am a woman to love...
I am a woman
that is all there is to it
ambiguously complicated creature
with just a hint for the melodramatic and
colorful flair for life
I am a woman
a constant moving changing source of light and
even darkness
perpetually Bella
grateful to just be here and feeling
an emotional being
self worth priceless
love in its utmost expression
blessed beyond all recognition
I am simply, a woman to love...
Open Book
I rise like the tide
unpredictable
the secular version of spirit
lively boastful adventure
delicate animation
one that runs amok vibration
the Amen Ra of light and contemplation
femininity to the up most power
the back drop to all sense and notion
the smile that blesses and coerces affection
the keeper of time and predilection
continued descriptions indefinite
self in very few words
Just me
I live, breathe and dream...
I am, was and always will be...
I am a creation of the highest caliber...
The Source has blessed me continuously...
I am fierce...
To my Soul-mate
Baby we will be together
I don't know where you are tonight,
I don't know what you look like
all I know is it will be alright
we were meant to be
I know we will find each other
for God made us both perfect and in his own image
two drops of water in this vast ocean
embrace the knowledge my love
I am waiting
I will continue to wait for you
I love you...
your love
Jamila Yadira
Thank you all for taking the time to read and comment on my work. Now I pray that El the most divine will protect and keep all of you and your loved ones safe and under his protective wings of love. Take care all.
I am a Woman to Love
This is my voice...El is love.

I am a Woman to love...
I am asking all of you to join the fight against child abuse tonight. I am asking all of you to help stop and fight against human trafficking, as well as domestic abuse. Please do your part by word or deed to end these inhuman practices that affects us all. Don't think for one minute that it doesn't or couldn't affect you or yours. No one is infallible here. Thank You!!
We all have the right to love whomever we wish to love. I have no patience for intolerance, and so that is why I have chosen to repost this. Please read and repost if you believe in equality for all. No exceptions!!! Love is gender and color blind.

Chief Callahan : You keep amazing me on June 21I was being nosy, looking to see if you had written anything yesterday and I saw a link to what i though was your profile(i've always been interested in what you look like) and then i saw that you had a song. SO long story short, you song was very nice although it was a little hard to hear. i didn't know that you could see, but at the same time i don't really talk with you like that but anyways, i liked your song.

xoPJ on June 17Just love this rainbow background, your personal info, and your poems. I'll be back soon to read more.
(And god bless you for your care-giving -- I sense that many lives have been helped by your service.) -
