Yes, I know I am beautiful. Why do so many people ask me that and/or act like it’s supposed to be news to me?!? I have a mirror and can recognize/appreciate beauty just like the next person. Newsflash America: every black woman who looks like me does not have low self-esteem. ok, thx bai
Remember my having to order Pearberry online due to Bath & Body Works refusal to stock this lotion in the stores? Well my lotion came! To recap: I had to order it because Bath & Body Works refuses to stock it in stores anymore. Only available online! I did get the sale price (the 25th [...]
My university is hemming and hawwing about my admissions…apparently I am the only person in the history of the college EVER to get kicked out for crappy grades, earn a degree somewhere else, then come back for a post-bacc program. They need to let me know something, I’ve got to get my work schedule aligned. [...]
Do you know how much I love the lotion Pear Berry? Do you know how expensive it is for me to buy it at $10 a bottle? Do you know how long I’ve waited for your January 1/2 price sale? 1/2 PRICE. yah, since last January. Do you know I was going to buy 12 [...]
I am a very slow thinker. Sometimes when I say this people think I mean stupid or think I am trying to put myself down, neither is true. It’s just a matter of fact; I had a head injury in 1992 that affects how I process information to this day. It didn’t affect my intellectual [...]
I wrote at night for years, just years and years, when my kids were small. Now they are way big, ages 19, 14, and 11, and I actually sleep at night. I do the bulk of my writing now in the early morning during the week and on weekends mid-afternoon to early evening. Flexibility is [...]
Recently on a message board I frequent someone posted about something called ‘The 10% Theory”, the gist of which is that 10% of people are here just to wreak havoc on the rest of us by stupid, confusing, or downright cruel behavior. I disagree, and came up with the 100% Theory, which is that 100% [...]
Happy Birthday to me! I am now 37, excitement!!! ^_^ This blog post written by Trula. Thanks for visiting Seed & Flame!
It was a hassle getting out, I had to fight myself to do it but I’m so glad I did. I feel so much better. I wouldn’t say I made friends with Jack Frost but he definitely knows he can’t mess with my mind anymore. and I got my exercise in, clomping through over a [...]
It’s been 3 days since I’ve been in direct sun, and my negligence in managing my winter depression showed itself today. I have been in a funky, despondent mood all day long. No, it started yesterday at work when I watched through the windows the snow falling all. day. long. Then worsened as I got [...]
I switched to wordpress, as soon as I get everything situated over here I will post regularly…check back soon!
I’m so over being shy, it’s been a real hamper to me. I tend to find people very overwhelming, and because of the way I look and/or carry myself, I’m not sure exactly which it is, people tend to assume I am not shy and expect me to be all loud and outgoing and whatnot. [...]

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.
