Well, it looks like I’m going to see another birthday this week. Another year gone by. And what a year it was! This time last year I was hanging out with my cousin in NYC having a ball. I left NY and headed to New Orleans. Yup. I was in the first two hot beds …
To my non POC readers, you may or may not have seen the movie or read the book by Terry McMillan entitled “Waiting to Exhale.” If you missed it, it was a story about a group of four friends who got together on the regular to vent about love and life. I thought the whole …
I know! Not what you expected! As I look out the window and see snow on the ground here on the east coast, I can’t help but miss SoCal. Why? The weather! For a good part of the year, it feels like spring! EVERY DAY. And fortunately, living near the water, I rarely experienced the …

If you are like me, you are experiencing some serious feelings of anger and disgust toward a whole lot of folks this week. You’re also experiencing feelings of fear and anxiety about the future of this country and more immediately, the next two weeks. You’re PTFO about the illegal, impeachable, conduct of this unhinged, deranged, …
At the beginning of every year I have a ritual. I get a new notebook. Nothing fancy. A spiral bound notebook. It’s usually orange, black or green. My accounting background will not allow me to write in a red notebook! Those who know me would be able to confirm that there is always a notebook …
Many of us spent a great deal of 2020, isolated and alone. For some, stress and anxiety were the only constant companions in 2020. The sad reality is pretty obvious. It is not going to get better overnight. In fact, it is highly likely that it will get worse before it gets better. But, it …
So, I started this new position with the TV production company I have been employed by for almost nine years now.
