New Blog

After I began the journey of being black, I discovered that there were many questions and of course, with those questions came answers. From that, a spark grew. What is it like to be Mormon? What is it like to be Asian? What is it like to be anorexic? Hispanic? Schizophrenic? Remarried? The questions abound and only those people who have walked in those shoes are able to answer those questions candidly, honestly and openly.

For that reason, I've started a blog that I hope you will all bookmark, for one. For two, will volunteer to be guest bloggers. I will be taking a week to week guest blogger spot on a single topic. If you are interested in being a guest blogger and answering questions on the blog, please email me and let me know when you'd be available.

I have a huge list of topics but I'm open to many more so if you have suggestions, please throw them my way.

The topics and guest bloggers I'm looking at are:

On being...

OCD
Asian
Mormon
Childless
Remarried
SAHM
Homeless
an ex convict
an adoptive parent
infertile
lonely
divorced
illegal
alcoholic
abused
Muslim
a doctor
lesbian


Please suggest as many topics and if you're willing to be a guest blogger, please let me know.

Thank you....

PS...please spread the word. This is the beginning of some interesting topics.

Oh...the blog address is: http://onbeingyou.blogspot.com/

Only I....

Only I --- could cut my tongue eating a graham cracker. Only I --- could be the designated pillow for the kitty. Only I --- could cry from hearing O Come All Ye Faithful.

Only I --- could have an epic fail day in the kitchen while making caramel apples. Note to self --lose the recipe for reverse caramel apples. Only I --- would get the same guy twice on the phone wanting to commit suicide - AGAIN. This time, though, he was threatening to take out a few people with him. Scary but true. Only I --- could misunderstand someone that is telling me that they are "packing". She said, "I'm still living here but I'm packing." My re...

My Bucket List

My twin sis and I have bucket lists. The funny thing is that they aren't literally on paper. They are in our heads. For instance, my Nay Nay called me and said, "You won 't believe what I did!  I got big girl shoes…for my bucket list." "Really? Big girl shoes?" I asked. I knew exactly what she meant. When we were born, and back in the day when braces could or should be recommended for feet that in-toed, we weren't given that joy. As a result, walking in high heels can often be a challenge. My Nay Nay decided that she was going to cross off one thing on that bucket list and found a deal of 10 pairs of heels. (Not one but 10. She went for the gusto.) Each day, she practiced walking in her big girl shoes until the moment finally came and she ROCKED those heels! Together we have decided that we WILL cross off stuff on our growing bucket lists. Some of those things are on both of our lists while others are our very own "personal" bucket lists...
