Enigma
Should I be troubled by the fact that I am alone and almost 37 years old? I had a conversation today with someone and they said to me that they wouldn’t know what to do if they didn’t have a man in their life…that they needed a body

This Is Business
It is a hard thing, having authority over whether someone keeps their job or not. I don’t have direct authority, but as part of my job, dealing with seasonal employees, I have to make the decision on whether or not they are fit for the job. I h

Sunday Thoughts: Something’s In The Air
Do you ever get the feeling that something is coming, but you are not sure what it is? You can sense it…the air around you is not quite right but you can feel the change coming. That is how I feel right now. It has more to do with my family mor

Sunday Inspirations: I Believe
I believe- That we don’t have to change friends if we understand that friends change. I believe- That no matter how good a friend is, they’re going to hurt you every once in a while and, you must forgive them for that. I believe- That tr

Old School Friday: Social/Political Songs
A song that says something always gets me riled up…and when it is delivered in a funky, move your ass kinda way…well, that just makes it even better. This song always makes me want to do “The Bump” and then go out and stage a

Sunday Inspirations: Live Your Life
With every passing day, I become more aware of how I live my life. I have spent so much of my time living in fear, resisting the things that I have always wanted to do. Coming to face that fear is my biggest challenge, and I have made a vow to live m

A Long Walk (Groove): My Concert Experience

Grown Woman
I realized today that I am old; but not in a bad way. I am a grown woman, for real. One that cares about what happens around her, to her, and I am grateful for that awareness. I used to harbor these feelings towards my mother for being so hard on me,
