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 …

I rang in 2010 in deep thought and for a few hours in gut busting laughter making fun of youtube vids (exciting, I know) with my crazy ass BFF who is the kind of person who finishes my sentence before I know how I want to end it. I passed up alcoholic deep throating and overpriced sweat drenched nightspots for a night of serenity and simplicity solo….Its grapefruit juice in my glass I swear!
Aside from the sniggling, I had to examine myself harder than I ever had in the past. …

I’ve been crying so much that there is a red circle around my eyes and its just burning. I’ve never cried so much in all my life. I have been in emotional agony for nearly a month and finally things came to a conclusion.
Hold up….Conclusion?
Yes, in a nutshell I bared my heart for someone and they were unable to reciprocate the way I had hoped. They took their time to think about what they wanted and what I meant to them …

You can’t hurry up

From you it’s true oh yes they do

It’s reflection Mondays. Ok not officially, but every time I sit at this keyboard to churn out a Monday post, I just start reflecting and my thoughts are so powerful, ahh *shrugs* it is what it is.
I am a recovering handbagaholic. The addiction got so bad that I threw out shoes when I last moved before I would ever …

I’ve never shared a kiss under the mistletoe for as long I’ve inhabited this earth. I’ve shared kisses with Tevin Campbell, Batman from the R&B group Immature, the light skin member of Kriss Kross and more recently kisses with grown up fantasizable (new word alert) men, only in my dreams though. When I think of the holiday season and boos, I hate to say it but I have very few pleasant memories, which probably explains why I pre-occupy my time with helping others.
Just once I’d like to wake up to …

For the third year in a row I’ve been helping out during the holidays at the Yonge Street Mission, a Christian based non-profit organization helping under privileged families in Toronto since 1896. My experience volunteering at YSM is always enriching and lots of fun. You’re always treated with respect and shown love by the staff and the program participants. Every year I’ve helped out with a different activity, this week I happened to help out with the Toy Market, which is basically a toy store (donation based and free of …

First off I’d like to thank folks for their feedback on the pictures I posted a couple days ago, positive and negative. For the record, I’m not tryna become a model, a video girl, a porn star none of that. I write muthafucka, I write. And I’m hoping one day soon to venture into the wonderful world of column writing, which involves presenting an image that readers will gravitate towards. Yea that image is a mix of sexy and smarts, that’s what I bring to the table. If you’ve ever …
