"Within your heart, keep one still, secret spot where dreams may grow." - Louise Driscoll Today, we celebrate a man who had the biggest of all dreams - Dr. Martin Luther King. I've written about Dr. King before, so I won't wander far from my goal for this particular post - dreams. I've always been a dreamer. My hopes and dreams are the driving force for the bulk of the decisions that are made in

Question: Do you remember that 2008 episode of Oprah, where she interviewed Brenda Nesselroad-Slaby? She's the Cincinnati mother who forgot her 2-year-old daughter, Cecelia, in the back seat of her SUV for EIGHT HOURS while she was at work. Well, as a working mother, Brenda's tragic loss serves as a firm reminder that there are many pitfalls in juggling multiple priorities. There aren't many

Because I have to, especially if I want to gain a better understanding of my writing styles and increase my abilities. Yup, I am ready to put in work.

On February 21, 2009, approximately three months ago today, I made the leap into the social micro-blogging site known as Twitter (for those of you that don't have a clue about Twitter, please watch this). My desire to connect with other writers was one of the first reasons why I joined Twitter and it was also because I'm nosey as hell during this short amount of time that I found out that it

Yesterday afternoon, while I was at home putting clean sheets on my sons' beds, hubby was laying on the roof of someone's car.

Morning world. Not feeling so good today. Like a crazy person, I stayed up extremely late (say 2AM) catching up on my new FAVORITE TV SERIES - TRUE BLOOD! OMG, that show is so slick. But it's quite a coincidence that I would start today off having cramps. Geez, what I way to start the week. At any rate, since I've dragged my ass to work, I suppose I've got to find a way to get this day going -

Yesterday, I went home early with a serious mind-blowing headache and this morning, the pain is still there. I believe this pain comes from one simple source - my day job. Lately, in my quest to be superwoman, I've allowed this job to consume way too much of my identity and time. It's almost like I've got to remember not to take on too much shit or get involved in the shit of others. Either way,

Evening world. Monday's come and gone and I'm right back in the place I started from - my bed. I suppose big, creative thoughts seem to live here, right on my pillow and soon I'm going to lay my head and relax, but until then, a bit of motivation is needed to tackle writing an outline for my NaNoWriMo book. That's where T.I.'s new song with Rihanna comes in. Now there's some things I can't resist

Evening world. Judging from the icon to my right, you probably already guessed what I'm about to do. Yup, next month is National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWrimo, for short) and I'm getting back into the swing of things. Yeah, I know I have a 50,000+ novel that I still haven't finished editing, but what better way to recharge my batteries than to dive into writing another book? You know, I

MORNING WORLD! Lawd have mercy, ya'll! Last night, I found myself front row to the second stage, dancing and singing along to Janet, or Ms. Jackson if ya nasty! Home girl blew the roof off that joint, rocking classics from as way back as 1982's Young Love off her self-titled LP to most recent jams as So Much Betta off of Discipline.

Evening world. Yesterday, I went to this flea market out in Baltimore, MD where I happened to find quite a deal on Kimora Lee Simmons's book Fabulosity: What It Is & How to Get It (You can preview it here). Now, I'm a sucka for self-help books, so getting this book, brand new, for just $5 bucks was a steal. So today, I thumbing through the chapters, when I found Kimora's Grand Aspiration Theory,

Morning world! So I'm sitting here in my office thinking about what it is I want to accomplish by blogging again?? Or maybe should I say, what is holding me back from wanting to blog the way I truly want to??? I don't know, but I'm starting to think that the only way this blog can be helpful to me is if I made it a private blog. But then, I think, well shit, what's the point in that, when I've

Good morning world. Today's the first day of October 2008 and this is the first step to getting back into the blogging world. Ain't making no promises, but I'm gonna be committed about this thing and make it a point to write at least once a day, even if its about nothing at all. Because for real, I'm losing my writing voice, at least I think, and the ills of the world are holding my hands behind

Blogging. Just exactly what does that mean for me now? I've been away from this spot for the last eight months and during that time - much has changed. Well not that much really. I've had my braces removed, paid off two car notes, saw my second son off to pre-k (now I'm really feeling old) and managed to graduate from Kaplan with a BS degree (I just love to say "BS degree") in Business Mgmt with

The men in my house are really trying my patience today. It's like no one wants to listen to me and I'm too tired to fight back. I can only hope that I have a will power strong enough to keep from lashing out.

Waking up this morning, I had no intentions to book a trip to Vegas for my birthday. I really thought that today would be business as usual and oddly, it was. I got my kids dressed, fed them breakfast, took them to school, and then it was on to work for me. Then I got to work. I didn't think that when I got there that I would see an email from TravelZoo announcing major hotels deals for Vegas.
