Best Year Ever, 2007
By Urban Thought at 31 December, 2007, 1:22 am
If I said 2007 was the Best Year Ever that would be an understatement. 2006 was great but when it comes down to blogging 2007 rocked. LOL… Who talks like that?
I wasn’t sure how this year would wrap up but it was clear by the time summer rolled around that it would move faster than [...]
Finding Love in the Big City VIII: The Art of Rope-a-Dope
By The Orange Phoenix at 30 December, 2007, 1:22 pm
So it is two days out from the celebration of the new year; when I should be concerned with finding a cute outfit for New Years Eve, I am slapped with reality – getting dumped – yes that’s right – DUMPED.

Reading Rainbow: Calling Out For Help
By Urban Thought at 10 December, 2007, 1:23 pm
There was a time when I would read one book a week. In order to save time between books I would purchase three books at a time just so I could do back to back reading.

As I move through a tough time in life, I realize that obstacles can get in your way. Often, I feel I cannot overcome them and other times, I feel as if this is an easy road block to maneuver around.

By Urban Thought at 3 December, 2007, 1:04 pm
As the seasons change so does the look of the city. Autumn in NYC is great when you have a place like Central Park. This past weekend we experienced our first official snow. It was great considering I spent most of the time indoors. This is one of the visions I was able to capture.
