Slowly... Surely....

Slowly... Surely ..... I am making my way back around the Blog-o-sphere. Good to be back "home". While the neighborhood may have changed - it's good to see some familiar faces & places. I'm enjoying some of the new faces & spots that have opened up, too.

While I'm out perusing the Blog-side & until I get my head fully into the writing/blogging game again I hope YOU will enjoy a tune from my Best-Friend-That-I've-NEVER-MET, 'round The Way Gurl: Jilly from Philly:

I am praying for the Pastor I so deeply respect...

I'm not generally a politically outspoken blogger. But, for the life of me, I don't understand why the disrespect that Sen. Clinton spewed about Dr. M. L. King, Jr.'s "Dream" being a fantasy (along with her many other "faux pas") was not addressed. I'm not totally naive about politics and I know many are supporting HC because of her connections which will actually get some things done. Also, these supporters of these candidates make good business sense: Oprah supporting Obama: Illinois Senator & Pastor Butts supporting Clinton: NY Senator. So, I guess more than naive - I'm a political pessimist. All I know is whoEVER is in "da Big House" I'll continue to survive and thrive as my ancestors have ingrained in me.

The Multifaceted Many Faces of Me

I guess this post is inspired by Sistah Kiki but written with my newest interest in mind, since I encourage him to read my blog. Kiki jokes (i think:-) about her multiple personalities. But the truth is we all have multiplicities. I want him to get to know me and I want to get to know him. Sometimes peeling back another person's layers is...um...a challenge. Maybe this post will help him to understand me a bit bettah (and may clear up some things for those who think they know me;-). I hear men say they love the "newness" provided by multiple women - I say I'm all the women any one man will ever need & be able to handle;-).
