I am a firm believer that LOVE should start at home. I think so many family dysfunctions (and I had them, too) could have been aborted if children had grown up having good loving parents as role models. I believe that is why television had a more positive effect in the past, regardless of imageryContinue reading “LOVING YOU IS GOOD FOR US”

BLACK (EXCELLENCE) HISTORY AND LOVE MONTH: A little ditty about Mac and LJ
My Black American history most intimately begins with these two – Willie Mac Lonon and Lonnye Jenkins Lonon– my grandparents. I am blessed to have known them both (my grandfather died when I was seven, my grandmother lived to see me graduate college), and I lived with them for a while when my mother wasContinue reading “BLACK (EXCELLENCE) HISTORY AND LOVE MONTH: A little ditty about Mac and LJ”
WISHING YOU A HAPPY THANKSGIVING WITH A WARNING
The holidays are meant to be holy days. Days of peaceful contemplation, raucous fun with family (fun is holy, y’all), a time to start new traditions, and a moment to reflect on the past. “Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in everything; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18Continue reading “WISHING YOU A HAPPY THANKSGIVING WITH A WARNING”

Maddy’s Gifts. Love Letter #6.
“She’s Mrs. Dr. Graham,” says my dearest friend, Phoebe. She gets a kick out of the fact that I am wealthy now. She gets a kick out of going shopping with me, too.
Love at a Wedding: Love Letter #1
Dear Reader, A wedding has to be the worst place to meet your true love. But somewhere in between the minister’s prayers, the elated couple standing at the altar reciting their vows and the candlelight flickering all over the sanctuary, a girl’s heart softens. At least mine did on a crisp fall afternoon while witnessingContinue reading “Love at a Wedding: Love Letter #1”
Ride or die? Love Letter #3
Some gals get all giddy about being seen in public with their man. They are like female dogs, protecting their territory by way of optics. “You see me with him. Okay. Step off.” Maya did not have such inclinations. She was a rising star at her job, studying for her Masters, with little time for anything beyond work. And even less time for the man she saw most.
