From: Thinking Out Loud
So I attended a training yesterday and although
I’m not quite sure if it was truly helpful in
reaching the goal it was meant to achieve, I did take one thing
from it. The speaker talked about how we all have favorite colors
or foods or movies or places. He challenged us into wondering what
favorite emotion we have. And by that he meant, what emotion do we
tend to fall into (subconsciously really) the most. He
admitted that in the past his favorite emotion was anger. He
didn’t realize it until someone pointed out to
him that he was always…

I don’t have to do anything but stay black and die
And if you’ve seen Lean on Me you remember that quote from Joe
Clark (aka Morgan Freeman) when he was arrested.This saying came
recently to my head when my sister expressed the problem of being
invited to a friend’s baby shower although she didn’t want to go.
This friend wasn’t someone she was particularly close to, hadn’t
hung out with them for a while and she was tight on cash.I too had
been invited to this baby shower and had not hung out with this
“friend” or even talked to this person in about two years. So what
was my answer when…

Dating in the ’09: A Valentine’s Day Rant and Ramble
So I was going to ignore the impending day and talk about other
things like Presidents Day (for instance, although few know that
Lincoln was indeed a racist who did not end slavery everywhere and
certainly not because he was a humanitarian I still thank him for
having Monday off and all the great sales), I decided to forgo it
and acknowledge the day we all love to hate: Valentine’s Day.This
year I do have dates but I still, as a single gal, reserve the
right to express some cynical commentary on random things dealing
with that day and dating period.1) Why is it so hard to find a
Valentine’s Day card for someone you aren’t related to, isn’t your
best friend or your significant other. If you’re going out with
