Ticket, Get Your Ticket

I know. I know. I know. I have been MIA for months. I fell off the face of the earth. I've been derelict in my duties and neglectful of my blog and readers. See, what had happened was... I started a business in January and by March it had taken over my life, leaving precious little …

You Gonna Learn Today – Returning to Work (Part 3)

I am a forgetful and careless person. In elementary school my teachers would always report to my mom and dad during parent teacher conferences, "She's a bright girl but she rushes through her work and makes careless mistakes." More than one of my bosses has listed "attention to detail" as a development area on my …

Working For The Weekend – The Saga Continues…

STOP was a group that used the performing arts to teach about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's message of nonviolence and racial reconciliation. We wrote and performed skits and spoken word, sang gospel songs …

OMGF Podcast Episode 1 – Be Prepared

If you couldn't tell by now I like to talk. A lot. There's a reason why so many of my posts top out at over 2000 words. Like most writers, I am very attached to the words I put on the page and think they are quite readable. However, I realize that there are people …
