Thank God for Progress

I am pleased to announce that many of my incomplete story drafts are almost done. And the great thing is, many of them are going to blog sites as guest posts which is increasing my credibility as a blog resource.  But, I am still trying to get published in magazines. I’m still eyeballing Chicago Magazine, [...]

People are Soooooo Unreliable

I gave someone two mini-DVs to edit for me early April. Do you know I still don’t have the completed work yet? I called the person to return my mini-DVs this weekend.  That was ridiculous. And yes, I could have put a time stamp on it but I figured that this was business and I [...]

Give Up Facebook for Lent? Not For Real

Why did my friend claim to give up Facebook (FB) for Lent and she uploads images from a remote location quite frequently? So, in my view, she is not really giving up Facebook. She’s just not socializing on Facebook.  Each time I send her a message through FB, she responds via text or e-mail. Of [...]

What I Really Need Is…..

I went to a networking event on Tuesday and the DJ was playing really good house music. I couldn’t stop dancing.  A young lady told me that I need to get out more. While that’s probably true, what I really need is a consistent cash flow so I can dance on an island with a [...]

My Interesting Interview

I had an interview for a part-time community manager position at a nonprofit organization.  I was interviewed by the Executive Director and Operations Manager. I felt the ED was asking unusual questions. Why did you pick human resources? First of all, I wasn’t interviewing for an HR position.  Second, by the time he asked that [...]

Reading the Education of The Negro Prior to 1861 by Carter G. Woodson

And I must say that this book is deep that it is taking at least 10 minutes to read ONE page. Oh my goodness, that’s so heavy stuff. Carter G. was so highly enlightened that he started Chapter 1, the introduction, with “Brought from the African wilds to constitute the laboring class of a pioneering [...]

My First Time Ever Expressing Thoughts on Sarah Palin

I have never really had an opinion on Sarah Palin, but after viewing this video, I would have to say she’s an idiot.  The whole thing was fake. And she needs to work on verbal expression as she reads from her teleprompter.  Not very convincing at all. And, how the hell is she going to [...]

This is My Year!

I have no consistent cash flow but I do have loads of faith. I know The Write Design Company is going to take off this month.  I am so excited! Things are happening with Shorty.  I just don’t know what yet.  They are good, though. I have not worked on my books this year. That’s [...]

Don’t Touch My Stuff

I don’t like people touching my stuff. I used to think I suffered from the only child syndrome of “this is mine, don’t touch it.” I now know that I feel the way I do because are just inconsiderate.  Some are just selfish and self-centered.  Ugh! And, people would NEVER take care of your stuff [...]
