Writing My Future

Ok so maybe the post should be : "Writing for my Future".

While on facebook, I got a great boost in the arm that I need to feel that my "voice" is stronger than I give it credit for, and that I need to personify it better and bring it into fruition in the form of published writing. It starts here with me being dedicated to blogging (moer regularly). But also it means that if I YEARN (which I do) for a life maintained, sustained by writing, then do it. Why does it take someone to light a fire under your butt about something you already know yourself?

And a friend at work -- my work spouse I call him -- told me that he totally concurs with my fb friend. He said that I have great insights in this post-Obama world on being an African American woman. So maybe I try here!


So speaking of post Obama world... the times they is achangin'... Thank God. And yet, probably not enough. But I saw a link today to an article about Disney at Toy Fair, where they introduced their new princess: Princess Tiana. She's the new black princess. I was delighted that she's really brown with kinky hair. And she's cute, don't you think? Glad to know that my daughter will have the choice of what princess she'd like to look like when we hit Disney in a few years -- God willing and money saved!
