It’s ok to need somebody. It’s human…we aren’t crocodiles or houseflies, we are people, and highly social creatures. We need intimacy and dependence on other people in our lives; that closeness and bonding with other people. This blog entry written by Trula. Thanks for visiting Seed & Flame!
I’m going back to school! in January. I’m entering a post-baccalaureate program that will allow me to enhance my degree (BS in business administration) with the specific courses I need to get into the grad program I want. My prior physics course work is so old (I started college in 1989) I most likely will [...]
I am just so thrilled to be alive. I have so much to be thankful for; family, love, health, money (well I could use more money), so so much, but I am also grateful for my resilient and inquisitive spirit. There is so much to do and see and learn about. I am never bored, [...]
So I opened a checking account, have had it a month or so, and have not overdrawn it or messed it up yet! Seriously, this is a record for me as I have serious money issues. The key for me is to reconcile it daily, but also when I have a transaction, to round it [...]
“People begin to be successful the minute they decide to be”~Harvey Mackay columnist, author, business motivational speaker Are you waiting to improve your life? If so, why? What’s holding you back? This blog entry written by Trula. Thanks for visiting Seed & Flame!
I’m getting over a nasty cold. Made even nastier by the fact I never get sick!!! I haven’t been this ripped by a cold in 3 years, have mercy. I missed/kinda blew off the signs of the impending cold and it morphed into a total throat blow-out replete with hacking, coughing, spitting, and yards and [...]

Michelle Obama will be the 1st Lady. In all this talk of Barack Obama as the first black president, I’d like you to consider the historical element in Michelle being the first black 1st lady. In a country where the prevailing images and ideas of black women are still overwhelmingly whore or workhorse, this will [...]
I voted, and rocked my sticker all day. We did it!!! President -elect Barack Obama This blog entry written by Trula. Thanks for visiting Seed & Flame!
I remember when I was a little girl the big thing to do to instill pride in being African-American in black children was to tell them ‘We came from kings and queens in Africa’ and to extol the virtues of ancient African kingdoms. While I can sort of see the logic in doing this, I [...]
There was Trula. And she was weird. What follows are true stories, half-imagined happenings, and flat-out lies and distortions about how weird I may or may not be. Plus! excerpts from my 2009 book: Tales of A Social Weirdo! This blog entry written by Trula Breckenridge. Thanks for visiting Seed & Flame!
I speak a few languages just a little bit. Born and raised in the United States so I’m fluent in English. After four years of high-school Spanish and living on the west side of Cleveland, Ohio for many years I can get by in Spanish. A year of Chinese in high school I can speak [...]
My father is so cool. My folks are more than 20 years apart in age, so he was an old man dad back in the 70s long before it was popular. Now you see old dads all the time but back then, he really stood out among all the 20something and 30something fathers. Still, he [...]

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.
