Comment on We are all running out of time. by Sheila

A lot to think about for sure, so many things that just didn’t matter that much to me before I had kids, when life was all about me doing my thing and not having the attachment that just cannot be achieved outside of children (at least IMHO). The thought of life ending and there being……nothing…..silence, blackness, just nothing, that’s not a happy thought and for that alone I hope there is a heaven. I think it’s impossible for me to really grasp the idea of not existing, even in sleep, I exist and I know that I exist. But then I guess if I didn’t exist, I wouldn’t know and it wouldn’t matter. The thought of dying doesn’t bother me on the level of dying and not “being” any longer, it’s the thought of those I leave behind, the sadness I leave behind with my cessation of existence, I don’t want anyone to feel that because of me, but it’s unavoidable, isn’t it?

I think going at it naturally is a great choice. You can always try “Meatless Mondays” at first and then it will either spread or it won’t work for your life. As a person with years of vegetarianism in my belt (and now as you know, I eat poultry and the occasional beef), I can tell you that it is an adventure at first, then it becomes a hassle, THEN a way of life.

Comment on SHAME On You American Idol! by Sarah

I bailed on American Idol a while ago, but yes that was a new low. The only reason to air that was for cheap ratings. Lame.

Comment on The Birth of Blue Ivy Carter: The Self-Loathing of Black People Continues… by Rachel

Great post!! People say the same ignorant things about my kids too. With the “lucky they have your hair” comments it’s gets to be ridiculous. Blue Ivy is adorable but I think Camille is the little model.

I might as well copy and paste this blog post into my blog as well. This is exactly how I feel about Pinterest!! It is beyond gratifying and further more, it allows me to share the things, tips, and what makes me tick with others. It’s like that life rule I have about sharing all my hidden gems with others…instead of keeping them to myself like a selfish hoarder. That’s what social media should be about, right? Networking is sharing interests with someone you may or may not know, which ultimately brings people together whether it be in the workforce, in leisure, and/or in friendship. Pinterest was made for people like you and I ) Glad you are aboard fully…lol.

Comment on Lemons…Lemonade? No, just reflection… by Janelle Couture

I feel like I went through this week with you. It’s hard not to feel the weight of the world on the shoulders of your friend, even if you are miles away. Your reflection is sound, you are a smart woman – and continue to inspire me with your wisdom. PS – it’s time to take a break from being the Party Goddess- we all know you are the best party planner that ever lived xoxo
