Staying Away From Politics on This SiteAbout Me
My Mother passed a precious gift to me. At first I thought it to be her ability to hold a crowd captive with her clearly enunciated words. Then I thought it might be her ability to write, as she was the first black woman in our community to have her own newspaper column, but it was not until the past four decades or so that I learned her greatest gift to me was the compassion that she showed to perfect strangers, and though she, as everyone else had her own faults and many demons, I believe that she truly loved people.
Among her obvious legacy, I want to remain true especially to that one
Interests:
Writing! Writing! Writing! I was probably born with pen, ink and a scrap of paper. On that scrap I was more than likely journaling my own birth, or capturing the expression on my parents faces, through words. I was into books in a voracious way as soon as I could make out the words. By age eleven, I was devouring the dictionary for want of new material, and loved the writings of James Baldwin, DuMappassant and Edgar Allen Poe before I was a teen. Needless to say, I had few friends, but in my so called "nerdy" state, I learned plenty and can whip just about anyone while watching Jeopardy! Bring it on!My Photos (5)
