Serenity… refocus – seek joy – thrive

For one reason or another — work, research, just wasting time — I do a lot of wandering about on the internet. Occasionally I come across interesting or useful sites or information, so I decided that I’m going to start collecting it on WordPress “Pages.” Not all of it will be useful or interesting to [...]

Once I identified the problem – that I have too many things rushing in clamoring to be written about, thus causing the dreaded “writer’s block” – the solution seemed simple enough. Create a thought pot to just dump stray thoughts and ideas in, and free my mind for greater things.  Adam & Eve / The [...]

I’m going to do a post soon on ebooks I have found, and where  I’ve found them. This post is not it, it being just filler to put something on the page. Anyway, I resisted ebooks for a long time because I could not imagine reading something many thousands of words long on an itty [...]

The problem with reading about historical events that you may or may not have had a previous interest in is – is the more you read, the more you realize how much you don’t know. And need or want to learn. Already I have been leafing through the extensive bibliography in this book, Bound for [...]

I’m sitting here opening and closing various posts I have in draft – writing a little here, changing a little there and, in general, being completely uninspired and not accomplishing much at all.

Well, this week is not starting out as planned and who knows how it’s going to end, so I am putting off the second installment of the Five by Friday series, I think. I do have all the sites picked out and such, but I want to go into a bit more depth with the [...]

Brief idea of what I’ve been thinking about writing, and what I’ve actually started and have waiting in draft – won’t set a deadline for getting these done, as my time is often not my own, but “soon, soon” will do. Flowing out from the latest white feminist blogospheric mess, I have a post tentatively [...]

Which announcement is of no interest to anyone but me since no one reads this site yet (or ever, maybe), but that’s okay. I want to have this here in case anyone ever wants to know what all the ‘snippet’ posts are.   I’m not yet sure how to use this site, but as exploring [...]

I don’t know why. Also, I don’t know if it’s an important topic in most Black circles and I just never really paid attention, or if it’s just that there is a whole different dynamic to the issue due to our history and so -while the caring is there – it doesn’t manifest itself in [...]
