What if it were on your front porch?

I woke up, 3 am, thinking about the grandmothers who can’t go get their medication because the drug store was burned down. I scratched my head and tried to think about where the next closest drug store was. I wondered if the mall was going to open later today. People talk about access to fresh... Continue Reading →

Knowing your mistakes: The gift and the curse

I woke up from a dream that I was both hoping not to finish and anxious to see what happened at the end. I dream in epic fashion. It is not uncommon for my dreams to go from romantic comedy to gangster movie to Marvel comic action movie to musical to WTF in a matter... 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 →

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 →
