Yesterday morning I had a conversation that got me thinking. Twitter was poppin with discussions about the death of actor Corey Haim and my girl, Bassey, offered up her thoughts as to what may have led to his demise: mental illness. She’s quite familiar with the subject because she suffers from depression and is [...] “One. Abortion, no matter the race, is a tragic loss of beauty and possibility. Induced abortion, the deliberate act of killing an unborn child, is inherently wrong…Actions have consequences, and the disproportionate impact of abortion on the Black community is glaringly evident and statistically irrefutable. Since the legalization of Roe v. Wade, the black community [...] i love saturdays. especially after a week dealing with attitudinal teenagers in my classroom. saturdays come as a welcomed reprieve to the hectic week of go, go, go. presently i am lying across my bed watching tv, tweeting, and blogging. i love it. i wish this was how i could spend every morning, but alas it’s not (yet). saturdays help [...] I’m a dreamer. I set big lofty goals and work really, really hard to reach them—for a while. Then I burn out, or give up, or get bored.

This has been a trying week. Fresh off my wonderful dance with Beloved last weekend, I picked myself up, and jumped back into my weekly routine. Getting ready for work, dropping the kid at preschool, going to work (begrudgingly). Luckily we had a pupil-free day on Monday & I only had to half-way pay [...]
Today, something big happened. One of my essays was featured on Essence.com. ESSENCE! Ok, so, it wasn’t in the magazine, a magazine that I’ve grown up reading and adoring, but it was close (at least to me), and I’ve been amped for about a week waiting for it to get posted. And today it happened. [...]
Saturday I caught a glimpse of the good life. After the kid’s gymnastics class, my mother and I went to look at a house. Not a house we were intending to buy, but a house that’s being rehabbed by my former boss (and my mom’s current boss), the principal of the school [...] I saw a rainbow yesterday…it made me smile. It’s crazy. I’ve been plugging away at my goals for 2010 eating healthier, working out more, and yet I’ve been neglecting my blog. Hell, I’ve been neglecting my writing. What’s wrong with me? Words used to flow so easily. Post ideas would spring up at a moment’s notice [...]
30 will be HAUTE! Happy New Year! 2010 is here and I am so blessed to have made it this far. Everyone is SO excited about the new year, new decade, and I’m definitely one of them. In honor of the new year, I mentioned that I was going to create a Vision Board to help [...]
