LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE RAINBOW

Don’t Forget The Stuff We Never See

Last week, my aunt came over with my little cousins. As most of you know, my house has two stories. And, just like most little kids, my little cousin was completely fascinated by my stairs. After several trips up and down the stairs, he asked if he could live with me. Ya’ll know me byContinue reading “Don’t Forget The Stuff We Never See”

Society’s Endangered Species

According to Wikipedia (who uses an encyclopedia these days), an endangered species is which has been categorized as very likely to become extinct in the near future. The factors that are considered in being categorized as endangered include: the number remaining, the overall increase or decrease in the population over time, breeding success rates, or knownContinue reading “Society’s Endangered Species”

Don’t Throw Out The Cilantro

The other day, I was going through my spice cabinet, looking for cinnamon. I knew I had it in there somewhere. I use it quite often; and had just bought some a few weeks ago. As I was searching for the cinnamon, I kept finding the oddest spices that I didn’t even remember buying- evenContinue reading “Don’t Throw Out The Cilantro”

Finding Your Passion

When I was a little girl, I was obsessed with the Cookie Monster. OBSESSED!!! So, when Cookie Monster and the rest of the Sesame Street gang came to Jackson, my mama made certain I got to go. I was so excited the entire ride there. I was so passionate about meeting him. So, when IContinue reading “Finding Your Passion”

Bromances and Desserts

Straight guys are weird and complicated creatures. I know this is not the standard opinion of today’s mainstream society; but if you really think about it, it’s true. Women are natural nurturers. We are born to have empathy for others and have an instinctual need to take care of others. We are emotionally expressive. IfContinue reading “Bromances and Desserts”

#MeToo or Not

I am a Bad B! I’m a queen, a fighter, a survivor and a hustler. No, really, I am all those things. You can’t accomplish all I have without being those things. For those of you who don’t know my story, it’s been a long and rough one. But I won’t bore you with allContinue reading “#MeToo or Not”

Mimi and Meat Pies

My house is magical! I know everyone feels the same about their own homes. After all, home is where the heart is, right? But I am serious. My house really is magical! It’s not the size or décor (certainly not MY Wal Mart and Home Depot Clearance Rack Décor). My house is magical because ofContinue reading “Mimi and Meat Pies”

Summertime Sadness

So summertime is here! Watching Jane and her friends hang out takes me back to the good old days of riding the back roads with my “sisters” Eden and Vickey. Jane may not realize it; but the friendships she has now will be her source of strength when real life hits her. I am sureContinue reading “Summertime Sadness”

The Kids With The Dirty Clothes

We can spot them anywhere in the US. Their hair may be unkempt. They may be in the back of the class, dozing off, completely distracted from school. Other times, they are wandering up and down the streets in town aimlessly and unsupervised, even when maybe they’re supposed to be in school. Most have aContinue reading “The Kids With The Dirty Clothes”

Love Is Weird

Statistics show that we will meet an average of 10,000 people in our lifetime. Of these people, 84 percent will practice a specific faith. 72 percent will be identified as white. Less than 10 percent will be LGBT. It can be assumed 90 percent of these people are not serial killers. Some of these peopleContinue reading “Love Is Weird”
