I love learning,
Even when learning is a bit…umm painful,
But oh boy, what is gained,
This morning I sat in my performance evaluation,
And bar none it was the best ever,
And that had nothing to do with high ratings…got em,
Or bonuses, will get it,
But with the fact that my supervisor and I have learned a great deal from each other,
And though it has been bumpy at times,
We respect and admire what the other brings to the table and we can get the work done,
Gotta love it~
I am now learning that as I grow my personal business,
I am going to have to learn to separate,
The personal and the business,
I have an inherent desire to always ask those related to me in some way,
To do this that or the other,
Because my feeling is that who better?
But what I have learned, quite painfully,
Is that it is not good business…
We don’t want to be in the position of asking those we love,
To step up their games,
Or egads,
To please give me my…gasp…money,
So we don’t,
And it leaves us frustrated and aggravated,
I learned that with my own son,
When I asked him to do a song for me,
He would take his time,
But when I started paying him for his valuable time,
I got what I needed and it was business…
So henceforth,
I know what I am going to have to do,
Is keep it strictly business,
When it comes to my business,
And be about the business of my business,
Because it is business…
BE PEACE!

I am perplexed, or at least I was when someone seemed amazed at the happenings of some of my characters…
The fact that Malcolm Black and William Brown,
‘Allowed’ Cinnamon the woman they loved,

What about reading or what kinds of books take you out of your comfort zone…
Now let’s forget editing, formatting and those kinds of things,
I mean when you have a well-written book in your hand, what moves you to a place of discomfort,
But will not allow you to put the book down,
I am pretty easy when [...]

I am writing in my own time… What does that mean? It means it’s time for me to write… Through the years when I would return to my hometown someone who’d not seen me for years would inevitably ask… “Are you a writer?” They had seen me with a book in my hand since age [...]

One of the reasons I publish my own work is because as I have aged,
I cannot abide being boxed in,
I have a need to express myself and tell my stories as they occur to me,

For the longest time, I tried to make this writing thing work,I advertised here, advertised there,Listened to this, listened to that,Ran here and ran there,Then one day, I had an epiphany,That instead of trying to make things happen,I would have to allow them too,That is what the faithful does,Before anyone throws rain on that parade,I [...]

What is in a name…I think of that sometimes and I know there is much in a name,My kids names translates to handsome one and king, and take my word,They believe….grinning…Anyway…During the late part of 2005 when I held, ‘Black’s Obsession’ in my hot little hands,I [...]

I have been accused of being inordinately patient, I accept graciously, as a patient person, I know what the right time for me to do any given thing is, and also being fairly methodical, I plan things…. [...]

I love conversations, especially those about my books…Preparing for lunch, I saw one of the young biologists in my office in the restroom,She is thirty, a bit shy and white…no that doesn’t matter usually, but, stay with me…She asked me if she could come and talk to me,We do that periodically, about many things,And it [...]

 January 2009 is only twenty-three days old and it feels good…Wednesday I was sitting in church and told my friend, ‘Girl we have the realest Pastor, I am going to be Nana to a girl-child and Mr. Barack Obama is President…Sweet like honey…
All I have to say is I wish everyone a wonderful 2009, I [...]
