Straight from the horses' mouth:

No new news to report as of now. But wait, let me just put in this quick note: For
so many years, I had prayed for patience, but as time went on and there were
changes to make record of, I began to pray for peace. The peace came gradually,
yet quickly and I am forever grateful to Him and will always be mindful of where
my entire blessing comes. With this newfound peace, many will presume that
cynicism followed. In contrast, I know better. I often refer to a quote from Mr.
Carl Jung, “Your vision will only become clear only when you look into your
heart. - Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens." I will never
profess to know all, but have noticed that when I took that step back and looked
inside, the vision was forever clear. Moreover, I now have precision.

I have been described as cynical and/or pessimistic; however, I regard myself as
a realist - a practical person. I do not fight, unless I am pushed - pushed to do
more to enhance any given burdensome condition. At which point, then it is time
to take the gloves off and fight City Hall with full force and determination. I am
never angry until I see an injustice; which are plenty. No need to fight unless
you can win the battle as well as the war. Alternatively, at least let it be known
what exactly the fight is for.

I really enjoy learning about technology. (Technology changes). As a child
everything was interesting but now that I am suppose to be an adult, things are
still interesting but technology is the greatest. (Have things changed much?) I
will if I must, apologize, but after 30 plus years, I find that only a very few of the
populace are enlightening - the conclusion is that we are all just a bunch of
mortals walking the earth abiding time. As my dear dad use to say, “That’s just
how it is.”

I do not waste time with too many non-voters. In my opinion, non-voters are
menials; people who stand without meaning and contend to waste time with much
success.

MY PARENTS:
As a child, I never knew the sacrifices my parents faced while they intimated and
provided for their children. Though they always hinted that they were lacking
this and/or that, I can honestly say that we were never hungry, cold, or homeless
but just the opposite. My parents where just that, real parents who took the time
to teach us right from wrong. They taught us to love and appreciate those in our
lives and to be strong individuals. As the youngest of seven, I reminisce on the
times all of us shared while growing up. Before the passing of both of my
parents, I am so glad I got the chance to express to them how I felt and my
deepest gratitude of their love, value and foundation of respect and
responsibility. It is and it is not because of them who I am as well as it is and is
not because of them who I am not; God has gave them to me (not me them), I
have strength.

I started writing poetry in Junior High School but could not figure out why and
perhaps still do not. Nonetheless, I find it brings me peace of mind while I share
a piece - a note or even two. Through my writing, I have found comfort and a
voice to speak out to those who may listen. I have no idea what ears that I might
reach or hearts that I may or may not touch, but I’m nettled about the things that
happen in this here life... I just write about the things that I can and can not see
and the things around me. I write my opinions - which may or may not be of
interest to some but again, it gives me a chance to get on my soapbox.

While I began writing in Junior High, I wrote my first novel in 1994, “Yellow
Rose” and have written ever since. My love for writing novels, novelettes,
poems and screenplays has never escaped me during the hardest of times. (I
enjoyed/enjoy writing my autobiography, A Spirit In The Dark.)

Under my string, () my novels and novelettes include, “A Spirit in the Dark”,
“Shades of Bright Pale”, “A Big Girl Now” among several others. Currently,
“Shades of Bright Pale” appears to be my baby as I have continued to fine-tune it
while dealing with fluctuating muses. Nonetheless, “Keeba Kornered and
Kaptured in Kaptivity” will be ongoing, as volume 2 seems to be never ending
but hopefully will find its way to the market in the near future. As for the rest of
my compositions, they lye dormant on the coffee table in the family room.

When not writing, speaking at open mic, adhering to my new publisher, seeking a
producer for my screenplay, taking care of my dog and enjoying my new hobby
as a photographer, my attention is drawn in truth regarding political issues. (I
just know there is precision…)

It was not until 1996 when I lost something that I found much to be excited about
- something much more invigorating and meaningful. God is good, all the time.

My life is not so interesting that it could fill a book or books, however, I have
written my biography just for me; to give me clarity; something I needed. I have
been through some different kinds of situations, motivations, and realizations;
all that good stuff... Spiritually, I am one with both ends of the spectrum, and
everything in between. I suppose that makes a complete circle finishing the
realm-kind of how the beginning and the end are connected - allowing my
thoughts to move forward. My thoughts are continuously revolving, and
spinning... even when I'm sleeping I often attract extreme elements into my life...

I tend not to jump in on religious/spiritual arguments... Seems to be truly
worthless... and since judging is one of humanity's biggest problems, I can see
how it has divided into so many 'sub-sections' over the course of time.

I once read that division is the best way to conquer... Over time, I have learned
that my expression is best revealed though poetry, and my literary style and
rhetoric. Oh, and also, by the complete sound of silence.

Only He knows what is good for me and so be it; I shall leave it all to Him. ---I
have found total peace with my Lord God and have taken a look inside. From
that self-examination, I have found vision and all I can say is, ‘Thank you Jesus
for the sacrifice You gave just for me; me, someone who wasn’t worthy.’
