Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I've decided I need to start doing things I like again which includes writing. Having a husband and kids, mortgage, day care, a special needs child etc. etc. often decreases one's ability to think about self. In fact, thinking about self almost becomes haram. A thing you just don't do because you will be perceived as selfish. I guess now that my youngest is turning three soon, and my husband has run for office, I think it is high time I start thinking about me again. I'm looking forward to it.
What I'd like to do with this blog is pontificate, but also offer useful information to folks about my areas of interest including Philly politics, ADHD, women, men, people of color, African Americans, music, parenting and my list goes on. In fact, this will be a hodgepodge of stuff, and I'll probably talk most about what others are interested in--as secured by posting--and my interests. So tell me. What are you thinking? What do you think about the Vick case, Kim Porter, Philly homicides?
About Me

- I am a artist who loves to write and make jewelry. I'm also a wife, mom of two--a girl and a boy. I hope that through my writing, I can help erase the stigmas associated with childhood ADHD and provide parents with some support. Similarly, I hope that readers will be interested in harnessing the great healing powers of stones through the jewelry I've had the joy of putting together. I am a public relations strategist, certified family trainer on ADHD, jewelry designer and non-profit admistration consultant earned a MPA, did post-graduate work in African-American Studies, and studied culture in both Russia and Taiwan. In my many past as present roles as executive director, adjunct faculty member, consultant, press secretary, labor organizer, communications director, and public affairs director, one of my most cherished and rewarding is as Mommy.
