Hello lovely ones. Just a few random thoughts from a chaotic mind. Firstly, I’d like to say that, I really appreciate everyone who takes the time to read and follow this blog. It means the world to me. I’ve connected with some really wonderful and talented folks. I’m grateful for those connections and I know that some of those friendships will carry-on for many years to come. Having said that, I will be cutting back on the amount of time I spend here. Life has taken on a very busy tone of late. I will still be posting but the frequencies of my posts will be more sporadic and sparse. My goal is to at least post once a week.
Secondly, I don’t want to get political but I will say that now more than ever, I am praying for our country.. It should be noted, I’m not even a particularly religious person. It is my hope that love and tolerance will always win out of over hate and bigotry. it’s up to us to hold our leaders to a higher standard and demand that they govern with dignity, integrity and compassion.
Steps off soap box and looks for cake. Hands you a piece.
All besr,
T.
You were one of the first bloggers I connected with after I migrated here from Tumblr. Thanks for being a blogging friend. I hope you will be around when you can and more than what you think. Your voice is needed here. Keep on blogging.

Oh Tosha Michelle, you and a very wonderful and gorgeous lady, and I appreciate you very much. I always enjoy your posts. There are times when you just need to take a hiatus and rest particularly when business overtakes you. I hope that you can get some rest, and I look forward from hearing from you again. You are truly an amazing lady to chat with.

Ah yes, life can certainly get in the way of blogging. I’ve been rather busy myself, which is why I haven’t been as active here.
As for our country, I hope everything turns out well…although I’m not optimistic. Like you said it’s going to be up to us, the people, to hold our leaders accountable. There’s too much at stake not to.

Well honestly it’s talents like you that make it not just enjoyable but to learn and raise the bar. We all do pride ourselves with either often writings or telling about ourselves. We do have a need for time and sometimes vent: Your work always draws me to your life and I read it as you know and I have the most respect for you and friendship was at hello:)

Reblogged this on Michael's Origins and commented:
“It is my hope that love and tolerance will always win out of over hate and bigotry. it’s up to us to hold our leaders to a higher standard and demand that they govern with dignity, integrity and compassion.” Powerful message of unity for possible troubling times that may lie ahead of us! Also, check out her new book! You can find it on Amazon, Goodreads gives it a 4.94 out of five stars. Title: Self Help to Self Harm: The Dubious Guide to Life, Love, and Relationships
