Growing up, when someone acted like a sore loser, everyone would call that person a big ol’ baby. All of us got called that at some point in time, but we didn’t get called it more than once or twice before we learned that everyone loses at some point. We could either accept the loss… Continue reading A Big Ol’ Baby

If anyone thought the lame duck was going to follow the norms and traditions of a candidate who lost their bid for election, I hope you’ve come back from Pollyanna land by now. The lame duck will continue to do what he has been doing for four years, give us all the finger when it… Continue reading Concession Not Necessary

A couple of days ago, I thanked Black women for saving us from tyranny and authoritarian. Another group of much maligned and disrespected people are Black men, Latinas, and other People of Color.

As promised yesterday, here is my first attempt at homemade cheesecake.

That’s why I’ve been in my happy place today. Although I’ve had the TV on in the background,… Continue reading How Are You Handling Today?

Dear Lord, I have an odd prayer to share with you. Tomorrow as you know, is Election Day here in the United States. A day many of us are both hopeful and dreading at the same time. We seem to have lost our way and it has been hard to maintain a Godly demeanor. Our… Continue reading A Prayer for Election Day

Dear President Bush, Where are you? We need you more than ever? We need you to stand up, be a leader, speak out to help save our democracy! During your presidency you ignored the Presidential Daily Brief when it stated Osama Bin Laden was determined to strike the United States. During your presidency you lied… Continue reading Dear President Bush
