As I find myself traveling more these days I realize I have blogged less. No worries though… This will be considered a free write as I do not feel like going back and editing anything (or proof reading for that matter).
A couple of months ago I took a trip to a foreign country. I brought [...]

The birds are singing, painted toes are out and about and hormones are running wild - it must be Spring!! After a hard winter of lovelorn contemplation, I decided to once again step out of my comfort zone. No more online madness - better than that. . .
I think Chris Rock said it best - [...]

It’s only 3 o’clock on a Thursday morning. It’s only the fourth day of the week and my day hasn’t truly started yet. It is just past hump day and I realize that for some it’s closer to the weekend. I understand that some of us think that Thursday is the New Friday. But still… [...]

My Life

My eyes are open
But I’m so blind
I think I know it all
With my closed mind
My pain is pleasure
My joy is pain
No psychotherapist
Can render me sane
Problem after problem
With no resolution
Will surely have me
In somebody’s institution
I need an escape
From my own self
For this state of depression
Has affected my health
I won’t take meds
Not because of my pride
But because [...]

Jill Scott said one is the magic number. I happen to agree with her. There is a lot of power in one. It takes one voice to be heard. One action to be made. One moment to be had. One element to be felt. One dream to may you think. Through these ones we can [...]

When has it become okay to allow ourselves to be as locked down as the men who look at prison bars and are banned from seeing the light of day?
While sitting here listening to my favorite radio station late at night, woman after woman relates their love through the airwaves [...]

Focused, I was as I was walking to my connecting train. I felt a tap on my shoulder. Oh, it’s one of my colleagues from one of my many jobs. Any time I see her I know I’m late.
SHE: This is twice in a row I’ve seen you this week.
ME: I know. Go figure. And [...]

Change is overwhelming me at this juncture in time. I don’t know where to turn don’t know where to go don’t know the beginning from the end. But I do know right from wrong. But I’m not sure if the right choice is ahead of me or even in the near future. [...]

After leaving the gym this morning I decided to walk to work. Headphones on, buzz from my work out, my eyes are on the prize that I call employment. My destination was clear and in sight. I decided to walk the twenty blocks to work. I thought it would make for a nice cool down [...]

They say the truth shall set you free. Some people say that you cannot handle the truth. I for one am all about the truth. Well, not quite. I actually appreciate the truth. I’ll tell you the truth if you ask me. I’ll give it to you straight, no chaser. Most [...]
