Today, I got the most blessed advice from someone regarding my business.  I am totally excited. BUT, earlier in the day, I gave a couple resources to someone who is doin’ his thang with photography.  I knew a little bit, so I shared it. I just felt that the information I received was a result [...]

I forgot to relay my shopping experience on Monday.  Although I found some good stuff, it was a touch frustrating.  First of all, a lot of the things I liked were too big.  Someone would love to have that problem; I didn’t. Especially when I needed stuff AND had the money to buy it. I [...]

I attended two political forums today to educate myself on politics.  They were great.  At the forum sponsored by 21st Ward Alderman Howard Brookins, A LOT of politicians appeared.  I was upset because I had to leave. The second event was a discussion between the candidates running for the Cook County president seat held at [...]

On my quest to find “perfect” topics for As NOT Seen on TV, I have done absolutely nothing.  There is so much I can write about, and yet, I have done nothing.  Not good. So far, most of my topics I’ve found have been about African American women.  While I would prefer multicultural topics, I [...]

I find myself turning off my thought processes these days if my thoughts turn negative. That’s a really strange feeling since my mind is always going.  Seriously.  Sometimes I wonder if something is wrong with me because the thing won’t stop working.  I mean….I’m glad it working, but the rate of my waves is sometimes [...]

I came to the conclusion that I will have to continue to post on my Shorty WordPress blog.  Why?  People send me lots of information that do not fit on my South Side Resource blog, and I have to have some place to share it.  Well, I don’t have to share it, but I will [...]

Yes, I am am sensitive when it comes to my writing.  Someone said something to me today via e-mail and I got offended.  It wasn’t anything bad; it was just my reaction to it. I don’t know why I reacted.  I think I’m overly emotional these days because I am so close to my goal.  [...]

After much consideration I have decided to create a writing program for teens.  I’m going to do it after school a couple days a week.  I have no solid idea right now, I’m just glad to have a clue.  I think I can hang with a 2 day a week program for 4 weeks and [...]

I have run into lots of people with ugly names lately.  Ugh! While Marcie is not the best name in the world, it sure doesn’t like the names I’ve heard lately.  All I have to ask: what were the parent or caregiver thinking?? I think I would have changed my name when I got old [...]

I feel bad, but I know it’s necessary. I have very little in common with some of my friends.  At first,  I thought it was because they were doing things that I really didn’t like to do.  Now, I realize that I don’t fit in with them.  I probably never did.  It is painfully obvious [...]
