Felice Capodanno! Happy New Year! You’ve made it through the clear vision halls of 2020, through the awaited corridors of 2021, and depending on where you live… into the year 2022. I almost typed 3022, and to be honest, that doesn’t seem that far away anymore. We are definitely living in the future, as we…

Conversations with a Black Man in America: “You’re Not Going to Believe This, but…”
You’re not going to believe this, but you fit a description.
Beauty is in the Eye of the…Beheld?
Okay, Hi. Here me out. Here’s what I’m thinking & I would love to hear your thoughts on it 🙏🏽 Some people’s beauty is just seen for longer moments, and some for shorter moments, but everybody can see at least a passing moment of beauty in everybody, and beauty is in the eye of the…
On A Day Like This
“Everybody has days like this, sis” my big brother simply said, after checking on me for a bit longer than he usually can. We didn’t really talk about it, because…well, what new thing is there to say when you’re feeling kind of disheartened for no ‘apparent’ reason? You already know what to do about it…find…
Ready, Set, Action! Interviewing Seko Shamte
In a post I wrote a while back I mentioned being surrounded by some phenomenal women. One of these women is an old friend I was honestly kinda jealous of, back in sixth grade. She was cool, dynamic, and knew the lyrics to all the songs! (LOL) Our Cameroonese teacher would bring up a song…
Outcasts, Refugees, & Giving Thanks
I just came across this again. It must be time to post it. Some events are no longer current, but the point is still the same. On November 26, 2015, here in the USA there was a celebration. It is called Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is celebrated by many Americans as a day when the ‘Injuns and…
Reflections By the Water
This past weekend a dear friend picked me up and we went to the beach to recharge. There is just something about water that feels like a conduit to reconnect to creation, and to the inner self; it feels pretty amazing. As we were there we just hung out, talked to the kids for a…
Pretzel In Pretzel Out: Yoga for the Mind
The last thing I felt like doing today was a physical workout. I thought about painting, writing, working on my vision board, meditating…but my mind is saying “no” to everything. Well, it isn’t that it’s saying “no”, but it’s more like I don’t know what it’s saying. It feels chaotic in there; in my mind….
Oh Wow! Am I Running?
I should state, from the get-go, that I am not a runner. I am a jogger and a hiker. I state so proudly! 🙂 This is why I had to share this experience with you. It may be a bit longwinded, but it’s because I believe we can keep surprising ourselves with unexpected successes and wish that you may…
Potty Training The Boy
We all know that all this….. Leads to some pooping! While you (or your wife was) were pregnant with a boy you may have come across at least one person who said: “Yeah…potty training boys is hard!”, or: “be ready to be peed on at every diaper change” or something along those lines. You may…
Meditation High – A Spiritual Being Having a Spiritual Experience
Meditation has meant quite a few things for me and subsequently my family. There isn’t a best reason for me to practice it, instead, there are many reasons why meditation is always the thing I need (when I do take the time to meditate). This is my experience in the last session led by a…
The 2016 Food Post: The Tanzania Experience PART II: Arusha
Part I of this list was all about Dar es Salaam. We ate more foods than I mentioned, but hey, you may just have to go try all of them yourself. If you’d like to go, let me know! AICC Nyama Choma I am not sure what this place is called, but I know…
