After an intense discussion with my husband I realized it really is best if I talk to a counselor about my money issues. It goes so much deeper than money, and obviously, after 12 years of being together and going through this with me, my husband is not able to help me with this. I [...]
Recently some anonymous people left comments about a woman they feel is being battered in an abusive relationship. They wrote in their comments that this woman came to them for help, got help, but at the urging and insistence of her family and friends went back to the man abusing her. I deleted these comments. [...]
yah I’m kind of a heathen. Growing things impels in me an atavistic urge to build a cairn of stones. Seriously though I ascribe to no particular religious belief, I am heavily influenced by Christianity and old-school testament. I am very interested in religion and have visited many different kinds of churches. I believe I [...]
I have been writing poetry since I was sixteen. For years it was how I defined myself as a writer. I’ve written one book of poetry, then got stalled on another. I haven’t written any new poems in a while. I feel the urge to get back into it. As well as a new urge [...]
The Duck is my imaginary friend. Well not really imaginary, he’s an old mailbox I use as a garden decoration and have imbued w/life & personality. His name is The Duck and I often talk to him while out in the garden. He’s very wise and funny Once a daughter of a friend told me [...]

Thinking about my past suffering with winter depression. It’s now mid-summer and seems so far away. The hard light of the summer sun recharges me like a battery. I forget in winter how bleak sunlight will seem. This blog entry written by Trula. Thanks for visiting Seed & Flame!
This interview with womanist novelist poet Kola Boof first ran on a site I had related to my Afro Mama book in 2004. Kola Boof is also a radical activist who speaks out against current slavery and the oppression of Black Africans by Arab Islamic factions in Sudan. Because of her condemnation of Islam and [...]
I guess he thinks we can’t distinguish between fiction and non-fiction. Buzz Aldrin blames sci-fi shows: “I blame the fantastic and unbelievable shows about space flight and rocket ships that are on today,” Aldrin said in an interview during an ice cream party held by the National Geographic Channel at the Television Critics Association press [...]
I’m submitting my books to Independent Publishers Group, a book distributor for independent publishers throughout the USA and worldwide. I like what they have to offer in particular this: – All marketing services provided by IPG are either free, optional, or charged at cost. None are profit centers for IPG. IPG realizes it may or [...]
I don’t fit in, but I tend to make friends wherever I go, anyway. As quirky and original as I think I am, there is always someone else who I have something in common with. This past year I have also worked on getting to know people instead of dismissing folks outright as being too [...]
A huge sign that you are in an abusive relationship is that the person abusing you tries to isolate you. This is usually before any physical violence has started, but not always. In my case it was before he started hitting me. Why didn’t I see this as a sign or at the very least, [...]

Mama Songs: Coming SoonBegin 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.
