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.’
