		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve often been amazed at the things people will say and defend.  Amazed.
For most of my life, I was accused of being too sensitive.
I love that.
Too sensitive.
I am too sensitive when I care about others feelings.  Or the impact my words or actions may have on another.
Wow.
Now I will be the first to say, I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was surprised to learn about President Obama&#8217;s Nobel Peace prize award on Facebook this morning.
My first thought? &#8220;Wow! That&#8217;s cool!&#8221; 
I didn&#8217;t give any thought to whether he deserved it or not.  &#8220;Cause see, I wasn&#8217;t on the committee.  My opinion didn&#8217;t count because I didn&#8217;t have a vote.
I wanted to hear his press [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I heard about Chris Rock&#8217;s documentary, Good Hair,  several weeks back and have been looking forward to its release on October 9.  Besides being funny as hell, it provides women (not just black women) another opportunity to have the &#8220;hair discussion.&#8221;
Check out the trailer:

I spent most of my life fighting with my hair.  Early on, [...]]]></description>

(The funny thing about that was how my mother actually felt about flowers for the dead.  What&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

I wish I could say that I was &#8220;spiritual&#8221; about it.  It PISSES ME OFF that people will take their dogs on a walk and allow them to shit in other people&#8217;s yards and just  leave it behind.  Hello!!!???

Although today we are celebrating her &#8220;arrival&#8221;, for several months we have commiserated about the challenges of living on the planet. Both of us contemplated suicide in our younger years, so death is not a conversation we avoid. In fact, we have somewhat of pact for our afterlife.  If [...]]]></description>
