Welcome to April.
The first quarter of the year is officially over. How did you do? Well, I’ll tell you how I did. In the month of March, I did a few things. My favorite thing that I did was the launch of my t-shirt shop. This is because I have been wanting to do this for YEARS. I have been postponing it and finding reasons to not do it, but I finally did it. In spite of all the reasons I gave myself not to do it, I still did it anyway. It’s available in size small to extra, extra large, and shipping is free within the United States. [And for those who have ordered their t-shirts, please share a picture, so I can reshare. Pretty please!] Click the shirt to add to cart.
In the month of March, I also attended my first Listen To Your Mother rehearsal. I was really, really looking forward to this rehearsal and when I finally met the other ladies, I was blown away. I wondered why exactly I was picked for this show. My cast mates’ stories are much more phenomenal and deep and thought-provoking than mine. What in the world was I doing among these women? That was what I kept thinking. Still, I am honored to be a part of them. You can read my post when I wrote of the being a part of the Listen To Your Mother show in Baltimore. If you are in the DMV area, please come out and support your Chief Sweet Potato. Purchase tickets here. And yes, my wig was silver/grey/platinum. I was feeling like Storm’s cousin.
Our god-daughter, Amaka, turned one in the month of March. It feels like it was just yesterday that we became godparents and now she’s one. She did what most one year olds do on their birthday: she cried the whole day. I mean the whole. She didn’t even let anyone hold her.
In the month of March, I announced that I will be accepting guest posts on Verastic on a trial basis (meaning that if I try it and don’t like it, I reserve my right to stop trying it). But Sweet Potatoes, please help me out here. I took my time to type up a whole page about how to write for Verastic. In this page, I included the tone/voice that I want you to write in. Still, I’m receiving entries that are speaking in a different language from what I asked for. I have had to regretfully turn these entries down. Biko, na beg I dey beg you, read the guidelines, if you choose to join me here.
So, I think that’s all for my March. I feel like I’m forgetting something, but I cannot figure out what that something is. How was March for you?
