Last week everyone was talking about whether a celebrity and/or influencer should use their platform to complain about a business. I can see both sides of the argument. If I were a business I would be concerned about the person’s obsessive fans becoming violent and harming me or my employees. If I were a celebrityContinue reading “Using Our Platforms”

Embracing My Inner Cougar
AI defined a cougar as “a slang term for a middle-aged woman who seeks romantic, dating, or sexual relationships with significantly younger men, usually in their 20s or 30s.” Most middle-aged women hate this term because it has a disparaging connotation. It basically implies that the middle-aged woman is desperately trying to prove she isContinue reading “Embracing My Inner Cougar”
Generational Strength
Earlier this month, a podcaster stated that Black people in America have generational trauma from slavery. However, he also stated that we have generational strength to rise up from adversity and succeed. He mentioned that during the Reconstruction Period after the Civil War, we owned property and businesses and held political offices. Then the JimContinue reading “Generational Strength”

A podcaster said last week, “Your job is to ask yourself what do you want for yourself – are you willing to continue to stop and ask what will people think?” I felt that quote enough to write it down.

Partially due to immaturity andContinue reading “My sturdy shelters”
Sharpening the Sword
Last month, a podcaster I was listening to said two things about time and resting that I had to apply this week. “Longevity is important; take time to rest.” AND “You have to take the time to sharpen your sword to cut down the maximum amount of trees.” Last year I had several surgeries andContinue reading “Sharpening the Sword”
Exposed!
I did an Open Mic Night last week and read four new poems that might be in my next poetry book. For the first time in my life, I felt like my throat was about to close up. At first, I thought I was about to have a panic attack in front of a packedContinue reading “Exposed!”
Sharing Birthdays
The topic that I am complaining about today is something that has been a family curse not only in my family, but also in my friends’ families. I’m pretty sure we are not in the minority with this issue – sharing our birthdays either with a holiday or another family member. I have one friendContinue reading “Sharing Birthdays”
