Wicked

| December 31, 2008

Yesterday, my sister and I went to see Wicked. We had purchased the tickets months ago, and it was a good thing. It gave me something to do this week. Once we got there, I have to say, I got sick. I was sitting on the end, though and was able to stretch out and [...]

Getting Through the Holidays

| December 31, 2008

Things that bothered me about him filing for divorce (well second after realizing that after admitting to not putting me first, he was now putting another woman before me) was realizing that it would be the highlight of my holiday season. I was loosing my husband and my best friend in one fell swoop and during the holiday [...]

A Few of my Favorite Things…

| December 25, 2008

In the spirit of Christmas, I’m sharing some of my favorite Christmas things… In the past, I have refused to buy Christmas music. I refused to pay money for anything that you only listen to once a year. The funny thing is that I don’t only listen to Christmas music once a year. I do [...]

A New Found Respect for my iMac

| December 24, 2008

I usually do most of my work on my PowerBook. It, after all, is the newest and most up to date computer that I own and even it is three years old. But, for the past month, I have been working nonstop on a really demanding freelance project and yesterday I finally finished it. As a [...]

Many people in life search for happiness. They base all of their life decisions on what they think will make them happy, but I was reminded that such individuals are all looking for the wrong thing.

Old Year’s Resolutions

| December 12, 2008

As we near the end of the holiday season and the turn of the year, I cannot help but comment on New Year’s resolutions.  I have never really been one to make New Year’s resolutions. If there is something I want to do, then I do not need to wait on the turn of the [...]

Amahl and the Night Visitors

| December 7, 2008

So, yesterday, we went to Noel Night, but earlier in the month, I had planned to be somewhere else. When I was in elementary school, my music teacher exposed me to my first full taste of opera. Now, I knew about opera and had heard clips, I could only enjoy most of it moderately because, [...]

Noel Night ’08

| December 6, 2008

So, today was Noel Night in Detroit. Now I have lived in Detroit for most of my life, and I had never heard of Noel Night, at least not that I can remember. However, this was the 36th annual Noel Night, so it has been around all of my life and then some. Basically, what [...]

The Alchemist, The Book of Job, and Positive Affirmations

| December 2, 2008

So, like I have mentioned in previous posts, I am trying to be more positive and ultimately move forward with my life. I have a playlist to get motivated, I started a devotional, I have worked on actively letting go, I made blues basket, and I have otherwise been making conscious efforts to improve my [...]
