I was not aware of how recently slavery was still a part of life in the deep south, though. Robert Sadler was a product of the post Emancipation Proclamation era of slavery. About The Emancipation of Robert Sadler, updated edition: The Powerful True Story of a Twentieth-Century Plantation Slave by Marie Chapian and Robert Sadler A Gritty, Raw Real-Life Tale That Will Both Shock and Inspire You So many [...]

4 comments January 28, 2012

Guest post today from my friend, Aurelia Williams. Thanks Aurelia!! How to Ground the Helicopter Mom Do you know what a helicopter mom is? I bet you’ve meet one or two. They are the moms that hover over their child all of the time and swoop in to fight their battles before the child even has a chance to open his or her mouth. You’ve seen her… she is the one that is up in the coaches face when he sits her child on the bench or the one that rushes to the school ready [...]

Gung Hay Fat Choy! Happy Lunar New Year!! 2012 is the Year of the Dragon! My son is a Dragon! He was born in the year 2000. I can’t tell you how many Chinese women in Vancouver rubbed my tummy and proclaimed blessings on me while I was pregnant that year, hoping for me that I would have a son. I’m not making this up!!!! Apparently dragon sons are highly prized for their intelligence and ambition and lots of other good stuff. I would be told over and over, anywhere and everywhere, “Oh, I hope [...]

27 comments January 21, 2012

This week I had the BEST discussion on Facebook and Twitter I have ever had. SO FUN! I decided to continue the fun here, because I KNOW you all will have some funny stuff to add to the conversation! It all started when I asked this question on my Facebook Page: “What’s your favorite non-swearing swear? I mean like, “Shut the front door”, or “Frick”, or “Holy Shiz” or something like that…” My fellow weirdies never fail to entertain me, and I got some awesome responses! From Facebook: bottomly pots. and if its really bad. [...]
