Thanks So Much for Volunteering Me…Not!

I was at a meeting of a group to which I belong on Saturday because I needed a place to hang until my ride arrived.  Please keep in mind that I was there out of need more than want.  Anyway, a couple of the attendees were discussing things that could make our group a little [...]

I Have a New Book Idea – I’m So Excited

I can’t share all of the details because it just came to me a couple days ago, and I have to copyright a draft.  All I know is that I want it published within six months.  It won’t be that long, but it will be cool.
Speaking of books, I am thinking about creating photo story [...]

What’s Going on with Shorty?

First,  I am excited that I was able to send the new and improved Shorty to people on my mailing list within a week of my goal.  My site is set up to make money.  I had to make sure it looked like money, so I included ads in the available spaces so my people [...]

People Have All The Answers About What I Should Be Doing

If I sound a little sarcastic, it is because I am.
First of all, people keep telling me what I should do.  WTF??? I do not ask their thoughts on what I should be doing; they just tell me.  I would like to think they have my best interests at heart, but it’s becoming annoying.  I [...]

OK, I’m Sick

I was checking my updates from Every Block Chicago when I ran across this story about a 17 year old having sex with an 8-year-old child.  I cannot worry about grammatical errors as I write this; I can only pray through the tears that are falling.

I Was Trying to Keep Silent…

But, I just have to say something.
I received an email from someone at 12:00 a.m. requesting support of an event at 11:00 a.m.  While I understand that things happen, people need to give ample notice for certain events.  Then, “they” had their little soapbox moment stating that people should support people and events.  Well, we [...]

Mis-Education of the Negro

As we approach Black History Month, I had two thoughts:
1. Should I start a book discussion on Dr. Carter G. Woodson’s Mis-Education of the Negro on of my blogs?

2. Will the Chicago Chapter of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) have any events in Dr. Woodson’s honor?  I’m going [...]

6 Degrees of Separation or Fewer

It is believed that there is 6 degrees of separation between people you know.  I’d like to think that there are fewer degrees than that.  Let me tell you why.

I had a meeting with someone on Friday.  She was telling me her background and experience.  She made a statement, and I started having flashbacks to [...]
