It's been eight months since my last post. Seems when my dog died she took some of me with her. But many, many things have changed since then - and all for the better.
One of those great things was the new friends I made through Humanity Academy. It was a week-long session filled with many ups and downs, mostly downs because we had to confront the horrible ways we treat one another, either because of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or just because somebody doesn't look and act the way we think they ought to. Stupid shit, but it's real and it hurts. But in all that dust-up I found a few people I could connect with. One of those is my friend LaKetta Rollins. She writes The Black Rose and has encouraged me to start writing again as well.
And so....here is to all things in the past, moving on, being stronger, and finding good friends along life's path. Thanks L. Shawn Rollins for being my pal.

Aww.... *sniff sniff*. Thanks Kopana bana.. :) I heart you too. I'm glad I have been able to inspire you. However, you unknowingly inspired me as well. Ever since I listened to your radio interview with Jahi... I've been determined to start doing the things I love. We have to have enjoyment in this so called life :)
Peave and love-ism
