It’s 2013. And I’ve Got Some Plans!!

Happy New Year!!!!!!!! As you read this post - well, depends on when you read it - I am Downtown Baltimore with Igwe watching the fireworks, just like we did last year. I'm already thinking about how I will usher in 2014. Do you have New Year resolutions? I don't. I stopped doing those a long time ago, but I have never stopped being hopeful or making plans. And these are some of my plans for 2013. I have more plans than are listed here, and some of the ones listed here are not as detailed as Read More

Feeling Grateful

It has been almost seven years since I started blogging. When I started blogging, it was just for fun, a place I could come and tell a story. And when people started reading and actually commenting, that was a new kind of high for me. Prior to that, my biggest high was Peak milk.

Just Help Me To Thank Him

I am not where I want or need to be, but I am definitely not where I used to be. It's a lot easier to despair at the road yet to be traveled than it is to wonder at the road already traveled (and how it even got traveled in the first place). Things that seem normal and regular to some people are not normal and regular to me. I don't know how else to do so [pending when I tell my story publicly], so for now, I just want you to help me thank Him. Help me thank God. Just say, "God, I thank You for Read More
