I had a productive week after all. I finished a Media report. After the lot deal fell through I went on the offensive and at this moment in time, there is a certain lot that looks interesting, and there is a certain house that might be ideal. Who knows? What’s good is there are OPTIONS on the housing front that don’t leave me feeling like I’m gasping for air. Meanwhile, I made a reservation for…
Well actually Satan, don’t get behind me where I can’t see you – stand right over there so I can just pass you on the fly. I went through a period a while back of just a flurry of negative vibrations coming from strangers and the known and I thought good grief, who are these people and why are they in my dream. That’s when I stopped into the Botanica to buy candles and the…
I hung this quote up on the wall yesterday because I was sort of in a reflective mood. Every time I take a step in my new path, people come out of the woodwork handing me ideas, suggestions, encouragement, support, guidance and even networking opportunity. Today, I was interviewed by a woman who is seeking to understand how white mothers of children of color are invited to collude in white privilege and how they end…
Oh joyous Spring, I love when the weather is humming along like it is today – sunshine, cool breeze, and a festival in New Orleans. Now that’s my kind of day. After a workout at Zumba, I headed to Freret Street where the festival was in full swing. Luckily I had a lot of my peeps manning booths and I was able to sit with a friend and just enjoy the view for most of…
This week has been a struggle, I cannot tell a lie. My hair that seemed to be growing is not – well a few hairs are growing, bless their little hearts. The bank denied my offer for the lot. I saw a house and was going to make an offer and a contract was signed before I could even get to square one. And I lay in bed and asked, “What’s it all about?” There…
I had ambitions once to be a great writer and that singular goal got diluted by a great fear. I was living in San Francisco when fear became my mode of operation. I feared I would never be a writer. I feared I would never have what everyone else was enjoying. I feared I would never have children. I feared my notion of success was as a lover said about me, “your dreams are too…
I was reading an article recently about Robin Roberts (sister of our very own anchor Sally-Ann Roberts) and was struck by this statement she made: “I have been mulling over how much more I have learned about myself through sorrow than through joy.” Amen, sister. I really think I was in some state of suspension for many years as I went through clone years of my 20s where I was trying to imitate what I…
Do you believe in coincidences? In what Carl Jung called synchronicity? Because the other day I wrote a post on being a seeker and next thing you know my friend in Boston sent me a link to look at my astrological chart and this is what it said: You are always questioning and learning, and you seem young and alive no matter what your chronological age, for your mind is always alert, curious, flexible and…
I dreamed last night that I cut Tin’s arm off and handed him over to friends in another room who called me because he was bleeding everywhere and then he came out of the room but couldn’t walk straight because he was off balance and I picked him up and tried to caress him and kept apologizing over and over again. Since there was a thunderstorm rampaging through the city when I woke, I lay…
A friend was telling me a story about how she had gained her self-confidence. It happened at a conference she goes to where there are a lot of celebrities and one day, she had taken a photo with one, and when she saw the photo she had this realization that the celebrity should have been happy to take the photo with HER, not the opposite. And she realized that she had been selling herself short…
