Welcome Back for Wednesday Wisdom, vol. 17

Come in, set a spell and give us your take on the wisdom U dig in the selection:

“There is little success where there is little laughter.”

~ Andrew Carnegie

I also want to share about this wonderful oasis in Jamaica that I've had the pleasure to visit twice. Jackie's on the Reef is a true Wonder of Relaxation! I hope that all is well for Jackie in this awful hurricane season. Jackie is an incredibly interesting sistah who I feel blessed to have met and experienced. The massages at Jackie's are truly DIVINE and life changing!


And here's one thing I've been WONDERing about a lot lately. What do U think?

Mike Britt - comedian - funny as HECK

This Brother is FUNNY azzzz HaYLE!!! I've seen him live & this is NOT his funniest - but it was all I could find on YouTube. Yes, there's cursing, so don't watch this around bosses or children;-).

Check his myspace page for an appearance near you:-). http://www.myspace.com/mikebrittcomedy

Black Men Blogging....

Hmmm, here lately, I've heard it mentioned in conversation, then saw it on a blog that there are not many Brothers blogging. I like to think this is not true. So, I'm going to list most who I know of (listed in no real order -- I'm also adding as I am "introduced" to others;-):

Brother Q's - Threading Roots


Thanx Family for verifying what I "knew" even though I didn't have the facts. Brothers ARE Blogging. I appreciate the input and being introduced to so many amazing minds. Feel free to keep 'em coming...

Which lucky Brother will run away with me?

Thanx to Jas who took the beautiful bear photo in my previous entry I was "introduced to" the African Beach house pictured here. I've not yet been to the Pacific Northwest. One of my dream trips is to drive cross country (or maybe around the country) to see all of this beautiful continent which my ancestors helped to build and develop. So, who's the lucky Brother who's willing to join me? I say Brother because a driving tour like that is bound to be quite intimate;-)
