For All the Black Nerds Out There – Check Out Danny Glover
Have no idea where I have been but Danny Glover is the next hottest comedian. He is currently on NBC’s Community (never watch) and was a writer for 30 Rock. This is one of the funniest bits I have seen in a long time. And thank god it’s safe to be a nerd and black. […]

Therapy Thursday – Continuing with Therapy
When I began therapy, I had no idea what to expect or how long I would be seeing a therapist. I had these visions like a character from a Woody Allen movie that I would be in therapy for years or at the least until my daughter went to college. Since I began seeing Dr […]

Fellow blogger, Newyorkchica inspired me to join her in the 31 Days to Better Blog Challenge. I actually got as far as day l and then just forgot about it. So as you can tell, I am pretty competitive and I hate when other people are moving past me. 31 Days to Better Blog Challenge […]
Open Letter to Mayor Bloomberg – We need more Parks
Dear Mayor Bloomberg, I am fascinated at the fact that you seem to be so concerned about the obesity issue with the children of New York City but don’t seem to provide them with outlets to run around. This past weekend, I happened upon the new park at Union Square. What struck me was that […]
