Sincerely sad that “The Office” is going off.
Been a fan and watcher since day one.
Birthday Song…
Ronnie Dyson/ Spike Lee’s “She’s Gotta Have It”
“…She’s only queen for a day!”
If May 10 is Your Birthday:
Singer/activist Bono (1960) shares your birthday today. You have style and charm and are often physically graceful and active. Because you have a pioneering energy, you’re not afraid to be different or original. You often have your finger on the pulse of public trends, which is why you should trust your intuition. People are easily like you. In the year ahead, a major decision will arise. Choose wisely.
Georgia Nichos, Chicago Sun Time

Jimmie Fallon / John Krasinski - Lip-Sync Off!
Hilarious!
I just spoke to the woman I had stopped speaking to 4 years ago.
A woman who I stood next to as her maid-of-honor.
A woman I use to strongly consider a friend.
For those who been around these parts awhile, this was the woman I had the car accident with. Not the driver, who I stayed cool with, but the woman who “allegedly” considered suing the other woman though she walked away scar-less and I laid in a hospital with 4 teeth GONE.
We ended on some straight ‘stay in your corner of life and I’ll stay in mine’.
A circle of women/ sisterhood became 2 over here, one over there, and one loyal to both sides.
Well, 4 years later and I get a call from “loyal” asking can she invite her (the absent friend) to my birthday celebration tomorrow night.
Had to sit for a minute and think that thang thru. Talked with the two present friends and we all agreed time changes people, life goes on, we’re women more than ever, and there’s a sincere “I Miss Her” in our spirit.
Called her. She was surprised. Caught off guard. Words were shared. Invited her out tomorrow. She missed her “sister” and so did I.
Time heals and only time will tell…
Early Birthday gift to self…Forgiveness.
Our women age with such grace!

Picture reminded of today’s events…
Took 40 kids from my program to the Shedd Aquarium today.
Yes, they was on some next level hood-life ruckus. As the old folks say, “Actin’ like they ain’t never been nowhere!”
But I was happy to share beautiful spaces with my babies.
Already a major fan, but when she pulled out her blessed oil…
Glory!
Yea, that basically sums of what’s been going on in my world.
How y’all been feeling?
