Is there a such thing? I mean what would we do in that meeting other than talk about and watch HGTV shows? Because if that is the case then I am totally there! I love watching and have been watching for years. I think my addiction began with Trading Spaces on TLC. Before that I... Continue Reading →
My Natural Hair Chronicles
I have a love/hate relationship with my hair. I have been avoiding it and it was a step away from walking right off my head. I had gone from twists to a twist-out to a mess in a clip to shoving it under a hat. So I had to wash it. That is me after... Continue Reading →
Don’t be foolish…
In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "Fool Me Once." This prompt made me chuckle. I absolutely hate the whole notion of April Fool's Day. I am not a fan of pranks. Don't get me wrong. I have pulled a few pranks in my time, most of them when I was a kid. Although... Continue Reading →
Ghostwriting my biography: The Dream Team
In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "Ghostwriter." This is an exciting thought since the whole notion of writing a memoir gives me the chills. I would love to have Maya Angelou write my biography. She would add some soul and depth to my life. The tale would seem more like a dance, even... Continue Reading →
Art Journal Entry – Unloading What Stresses Me
I needed some art therapy. I wrote down some of the things that have really been stressing me out. Then I covered it up with paint. Next step is to let creativity take over. No editor. Silence the perfectionist. Just do what you feel. Expressing what I keep trying to tell myself. Here is a... Continue Reading →
Dear Baltimore… if I were mayor…
In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "We Built This City." I truly do love my city. I love the good and the bad about this place. You can't really say you love a place (or anyone or anything for that matter) if you don't take the bad as well as the good. We have... Continue Reading →
Picking my flavor: When twitter & daily blog prompts collide
In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "32 Flavors." This is a funny prompt because one of my Twitter friends just asked what everyone's favorite flavor of Talenti is. I am lactose intolerant so me eating ice cream is like dancing with the devil. That being said... the devil and I do dance occasionally. Hell... Continue Reading →
Finding My Happy Place
In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "Places." My face crinkles up when faced with the question "Beach, Mountain, or Forest?". I immediately think of my happy place and how hard it is for me to get there. First you have to go through some mountains. I have never really been hiking so I... Continue Reading →
Why didn’t I study abroad???
In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "Study Abroad." Okay, when I read this prompt I began to list all of the places I remember saying I wanted to go when I was planning for college. Then I remembered all of the programs that I looked at while I was in college. Studying abroad... Continue Reading →
The things I never said…
In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "Set It To Rights." So this prompt spoke to me rather quickly. Mostly because I am one to let a lot of things slide. I simply don't feel like it is worth the anxiety, anger, and regret that come with confrontation. Most times the confrontation does nothing to... Continue Reading →
