I finally produced a poem. The first real one in several years. Several years. And yet, unlike any of my others, I only want to share it with one specific person. At the same time, it may be highly inappropriate to share it with that person ( Read more... )

Don't have too much to say today. I'm in pretty good spirits, and I was able to talk to a former coworker I hadn't talked to in months. It was a really great conversation. I called because I thought of her, and I knew she'd be happy to hear that I've "picked up" running as an activity (she is/was a runner). I knew she'd also be interested in ( Read more... )

Interesting to see how events unfold to show God answering your prayers. It's lovely.

You know... I would never claim to be this superior writer, but goodness. Out of laziness, I suppress the urge to write (on physical paper), and I'm doing myself such an injustice.

I woke up this morning in a funk. It was very difficult to get out of bed...very very difficult. Just had a lot of worries on my mind, things here and there.

So, in the past few years, I haven't really put thought into preparing resolutions per se. But I look forward to 2010 for one main reason: the opportunity for growth. I know how much one's life can change for the positive in the span of a year, so I'm hoping that's going to happen for me this year. But I must be proactive in that process ( Read more... )

My cell phone officially went haywire this morning. SO SAD! And the contract ends in June (at the very earliest... October otherwise). I liked my cellie while I had it, but I'm mad that it didn't last two years! And I don't drop my phone or harm it in any way, so.. boo ( Read more... )

For this, I love Raven-Simone. And I loveeee Dove, too. In fact, I wanna be a Dove model. lol ( Read more... )

I still may write it, but the long and short of it is: despite the fact that we (as minorities--really as all human beings) have so much farther to go, I am THANKFUL to have gotten thus far ( Read more... )
