I find myself turning off my thought processes these days if my thoughts turn negative. That’s a really strange feeling since my mind is always going. Seriously.

More Work for Shorty
I came to the conclusion that I will have to continue to post on my Shorty WordPress blog. Why? People send me lots of information that do not fit on my South Side Resource blog, and I have to have some place to share it. Well, I don’t have to share it, but I will…
I Think I Might Be Sensitive
Yes, I am am sensitive when it comes to my writing. Someone said something to me today via e-mail and I got offended. It wasn’t anything bad; it was just my reaction to it. I don’t know why I reacted. I think I’m overly emotional these days because I am so close to my goal. …

Why Aren’t Restaurants Promoting The Princess & The Frog Toys?
Someone called into WVON 1690 in Chicago to ask why weren’t McDonald’s, Wendy’s or Burger King promoting The Princess & The Frog toys with their children menus? Good question. Traditionally, these figures have been promoted prior to or as soon as new movies for children hit the big screens. There has been nothing for this…
What a Way to Begin the New Year
My friend Joanne called me this morning to let me know that her husband died last night. I am heartbroken, and I feel really bad for her because she lost her best friend during the Christmas holiday. Please pray for Joanne and her family. On a different note, my little sister is 11 years old…
