Sweet November

Now that Thanksgiving is upon us I am reflecting on what I have experienced throughout this decade. As we close this year out we enter a new chapter that will be defined by the acceptances we take and the dreams that we chase.

I am going to be brief with my post. I am just touching base and connecting with those that are on my journey with me. Your outlook is EVERYTHING! The perspective you view life is how you are ultimately viewed! I was too negative in my own life. I saw the good in everyone but myself! To paraphrase the late Ana Marquez-Greene a Sandy Hook victim "I was sucking out my fun sockets" I take care of my responsibilities  yet I'm living life! I am constantly evolving and building my brand. But I had to solidify my character first otherwise life would be all a facade.

I will not give any energy to nonsense. I don't have that type of time.....I am on a mission in my pursuit of happiness. I just crave honesty. joy and accountability in every area of my life. Own your shit. Integrity matters alot. Aint nobody perfect but God but be about your business and your word your bond. No shade but nobody ain't hating on nobody they can see through for real. I state my age because with it became wisdom. I've seen alot in this years.


Ok I will chat again soon. Tyler Perry who is amazing, brilliant and blessed used to write blog posts often before he had to dedicate his life to uplifting our culture. His words inspired me. I pray mine help someone to heal. My elders lived a long time through the struggles that define my children. It takes a village. I hope my words reach and inspire you.

  Mommy and her friends at Russo’s on the Bay at a Post office reunion. Uncle Goode sent me this and boy oh boy was I startled this morning.  I see her life as a testament that you reap what you sow. It takes under ten seconds to tell anyone what you do for a living. My Mother worked in the Post office her entire career. After a brief stint as a teenager with Auntie Helen at ironically the phone company.  Choosing a federal job over the BANK! She was hired on the SPOT as a woman of color because she was a mathematical genius. Courtney inherited that trait for her. She was seventeen years old. Tour 1 like a FOOL (11pm-7am)she would say. After she began working in the Vault 7am-3pm after almost thirty years of the night shift. She was in the vault in the Post Office at JFK in NYC on September 11, 2001.  She was concerned about me getting home newly hearing impaired at MetroTech downtown Brooklyn. I love EVERYTHING about you Ma but the BEST thing was you were so GENUINE...

Betty Baisley

 As I write but more importantly LIVE I THANK y’all for letting me sit in the front of the bus and listen to music with y’all when I stilll could hear. Papa used to turn the music up real loud for me too on the way to his customers to make his deliveries.  For keeping me in Ms, Goldstein’s class knowing I may have needed a different environment. For coming to my first day of Junior High school (albeit afterschool WHO does that?) For pressing my hair SO GOOD the first day of Martin. For telling me that Brooklyn Tech was a memory (I got waitlisted and didn’t want to go to Summer School to get in because I didn’t want to go there and NANA and GRANNY knew it! ) To not beat myself up over it. (Mommy is STILL MAD in Heaven❤️) To standing outside Martin with Aunt Colette and Mommy because the girls didn’t like me but the boys did!  The most important lesson I learned was to put ME FIRST! NANA you loved us ALL independently and individually. You made sure we had toiletries, pens ...
