Before you get your panties in a knot. Don’t read today’s blog if you are not open to the topic of race. I blog from experience. This is how the story goes. Harrison texted me that he needed to talk with me as soon as I got home from work. In my mind a million … More This Black Thing Is Exhausting
Harrison and I would dance to Dear Mama by Kanye West. I think Kanye lost it after his mama died. We don’t jam out to Kanye anymore for many reasons. Which brings me back to Tupac. Say what you must about Tupac. May he Rest In Peace. But his lyrics had meaning and made you … More Dear Mama
I think I’m tired of people telling me that Syd won’t care if she misses the DC trip. Or will she really care if she’s not included.

I didn’t post the blogs that I have already written. I pray before I post and it wasn’t time to share those with you all just … More Press Pause
I have always loved children. I know I am not the only one that made “the list”. Sissy and I made the list of who we would marry, how old we would be, where we would live and how many children we would each have. Of course things didn’t go as I had planned on … More Empty Womb
I must admit that the statistic doesn’t startle me. This statistic confirms that we have a lot of work to do. 1 in 59. That’s the current number of children, identified on the autism spectrum.
