This weekend your girl went to church for the first time since 199_, yea, I know a looong time. Ok, that’s not completely accurate, I’ve been to church in the new millennium but more as a representative of myself, than by will. See I don’t count showing face at Christmas or for a baptism or funeral as attending church, just cause most of the time your mind is focused on the celebratory aspect of the service than the actual purpose of attending church- to serve the Lord.I am not the …

Goals & Remaining focused
Hey y’all I just thought I’d drop in and make sure everyone is doing ok. Are we living up to those New Years resolutions? Did we make any? I have to give a shout out to Ms.Grant who made me write down three new years resolutions and post them on my refrigerator prior to the New Year. Since then I’ve been relentlessly working towards making them happen. Who knew that having the visual of my goals meshed into my daily routine would play a big part in …

Admin Note: This year has been paramount for Domestic Violence. With the recent incident surrounding Tiger Woods and wife Erin Nordegren(she kept her name? gangsta!) I just thought I’d break out my Negradamous prediction from May on SH Collective blog, where I officially declared 2009, the year of Domestic Violence. I mean I don’t think this is something to brag about, its embarassing really. I’ve shared my own story of relationship violence, and through the posts Ive learned a lot about our attitudes towards the different genders when it comes …

I was googling my name the other day ( something I encourage everyone to do) and came across a blog post about a letter I had written to Metro News back in 2006. There had been a major drug raid in the city and several arrests were made in lower income areas but a significant number of arrests were made in new sub divisions, outside of the city. The cover page was a black man in cuffs in the Jamestown area of the city, one of the lower income neighborhoods. …

Last week I discussed remaining as detached from work as possible but there are times where work sucks you in and forces you to make it a priority in an emotional thought process. And I’m not talking about the labors of love type of work, I’m talking about the drudgery that puts food on our tables and keeps the crib heated. This week on SHC I discuss the bullshit that has been going on at work and how in a way it has actually benefited me and given me the …

I have been preoccupied with self-improvement, goal setting and life-detoxing as of late. I feel a shift in the universe and more than ever I’m striving to improve my life and reach goals that I’ve pondered over and have yet to work on. I recently blew the dust off a book that I received as a Christmas gift, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. I don’t want to be bottle-popping club-hopping designer-clothes-at-my-disposal wearing socialite. I want to make a difference in the world and bring everyone who is willing …

The Life is Grand Award was presented to me Nightfall of the Blu Flame Blvd blog. I am usually the kind of person to delete chain e-mails without reading it, 5 years of bad luck my ass! I’d rather blog and web browse to be quite honest, than pass around some bs that might end up crashing the system at work. But this award is so fabulous because it encourages positive thinking, gratitude and helps promote blogs that actually are worth the mouse click.
In receiving this award, I am to …
