What is Twitter? From the site: Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? Twitter has evolved to far beyond that. In addition to the site’s stated intention, it has many other uses including [...]

I don’t know why I have been so blessed to know my best friend. I love her; she is awesome. I have been incredibly blessed by her friendship, kindness, patience, & humor. She is a big reason why I’m so positive and focused on personal growth. She had a son who died. Before I met [...]
In my journey of personal growth I have been quite evangelistic, telling everyone about how great I feel and wanting to spread light and joy. But sometimes, I tell you, I am apathetic about making improvements in my life and this can be such a drag. You know what I mean, days where you sit [...]
When I found myself a few years ago so wrapped up in my online friendships with people I had never met, I realized something was wrong if I couldn’t make one single off-line friend in my area. I had friends but they were people I knew years and years; I didn’t have any new friends. [...]

In it she gives the reasons why many black women have hair growth difficulties and what can be done to promote healthy hair growth. It is also available as an e-book. Ms. Sliker is also [...]
The best tip I read about how to become an early riser was on Steve Pavlina’s blog. He wrote that as soon as your alarm goes off, get up immediately and start moving. This is great advice! In my experience, when I hesitate for just a moment, forget about it, I’ll go back to sleep [...]
The Marching Morons is one of my favorite sci-fi stories of all time: “The Marching Morons” is a science fiction short story written by Cyril M. Kornbluth, originally published in Galaxy in April, 1951. It was included in The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume Two after being voted one of the best novellas up [...]
This is a big stumbling block for me. I’ve been through various iterations of thinking I was better than other people. I still do sometimes, truth be told. Why? sometimes I feel smarter. Sometimes I feel thinner. Sometimes I feel kinder. Sometimes I feel…whatever. So what? Intelligence means nothing if you don’t realize that any [...]
You may recall my question on story I read once in Omni magazine about mutated vegetation on shipwrecked island. I asked on Omnishrine and got an answer, coolness: Ballard, J.G.–DREAM CARGOESA lowly seaman takes charge of an abandoned toxic waste ship and makes his way to a garbage island, where he meets and becomes lovers [...]

Did you know it’s ok to change? Did you know it’s ok to say, I’m sorry? It’s also ok to acknowledge your flaws. A flaw is something you can change. So is denial. I am surrounded by people who are fearful of my personal growth journey, to the extent they don’t want me to apologize [...]

Mutated vegetation’s life cycle no longer reproduction-based. hence life of the individual becomes life of species. plants grow HUGE. This was a really cool story, I’d like to [...]
Did you know a difference of opinion is not a personal attack? I was thirty years old before I knew this, and only in the last year have I really understood it. I used to get so irate when others disagreed with me. I found myself getting into arguments quite often online and off. Why? [...]

Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand-and melting like a snowflake.
~Marie Beyon RayLife is a big canvas, throw all the paint on it you can
~Danny KayeTwenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the things you did do. Throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
~Mark TwainFollow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls.
~Joseph CampbellI'm sick of chasing my dreams man, I'm just gonna ask them where they're going and hook up with them later.
