Racism. Colour-ism. When self-loathing takes root in the heart of a people, how do we ever truly become set free?

At Least I Have Each Other...
I am a study in contradtictions.
Looking at me in my wild and frequently uncombed curls, and with my penchant for flowing flowery dresses and flats, you’d be quite reasonable to assume that I am She of the Flower Power Fraternity. Sorority even. You’d expect me to play a lute (guitars are so ‘of the Man, you know?) and sing warbling ditties composed on the spot in honor of the...

Public Service Announcement (aka "I violently...
Dear People Of the World:
Celebrities are people too. Just people. Humans who have talent that paired with opportunity to launch them across the airwaves. Humans. And yes, some of their adorers may take appreciation all the way to extreme, creepy and/or dangerous, but not all admirers are ridiculous. And it has always bothered me, the way we seem to think of them as public property, flying into...

All About the Lurrrrve ♥
Ah, Valentine’s Day, thou shining day of Lurve! How must it feel, knowing that not everybody loves thee.
As someone who attended an all-girls school, a university with a much larger female cohort than male, then taught at a girl’s school and currently work in an office with more ladies than men, boy have I heard the female perspectives on this day. Wide and wild goes the gamut. I also work in...

As Christians, we absolutely cannot agree with everything, we can’t seek the popular vote and the comfortable...

The Thirtylicious Playlist
SO I’m thinking about doing my own 30 day Song challenge. Would have been awesome to have started this on January 1, for that sense of roundness that my Type A soul can crave so much, but in honour of my very own blog earlier this month: ANY DAY IS A GREAT DAY TO START A NEW THING.
So Jan 9, you’re it. We’re going to take it to Feb…8 I guess, since Jan has 31 days…. OK stop over thinking. A song...
