Honesty Box you can kiss it; online harressment at its worst.

Last updated on: October 17, 2011 at 9:58 am By Grace Sandra

I am coming to terms. Truth is, the interwebs is not always a nice place to play for a Mommy blogger. Bottom line: folks are mean. Especially the lady folk. A few weeks ago, I got an Honesty Box inbox message that wasn’t very nice. A woman said, “you hide behind your personality.” (more…) Read more

Fresh tat for a bit ‘o’ grief

Last updated on: October 16, 2011 at 4:37 pm By Grace Sandra

It’s been a rough, rocky, rambunctious ride of a year. It doesn’t really matter what I’m going through —the flu, loss of a family member, financial woes or a stubbed toe— I am almost always tempted to give up on life all together. (more…) Read more

Coming out of the Closet with Depression

Last updated on: October 13, 2011 at 4:03 pm By Grace Sandra

Almost two years ago, I came out of the closet with depression. I’m still a little shocked that my confessional post about my huge battle with depression remains in the top 10 of my 500-ish posts. The topic of depression or ‘how to treat depression’ is a key search phrase in which hords of pretty depressed folks wind up here. (more…) Read more

I kind of want to share a chapter of my upcoming Memoir with you, so here it is.

Last updated on: September 17, 2011 at 8:57 am By Grace Sandra

I am sorry bloggers that all of my social media content right now is about my memoir. Other than my actual hubs, I’m a bit married to the project, or as I said in my last post, pregnant with it. Meaning, it’s completion is all. I. think. about. (more…) Read more

9/11 From an Angry, Racist Perspective

Last updated on: September 10, 2011 at 11:10 am By Grace Sandra

Last year, I wrote about how I experienced 9/11 as an angry, black racist. And how 9/11 served as a catalyst towards my coming to grips with my own racial identity but also the my anger towards America. I was going to add to it but realized it’s good the way it is, hence the repost. My prayer for tomorrow’s anniversary is that we honor those who courageously gave their lives in every manner imaginable, remember the depths of evil... Read more

Hello Friends! I’m not sure if I’m back to blogging yet, but I’ve got a little something to say today… To say that I’ve thought A LOT about writing lately is the biggest understatement since someone said Y2K was going to be no big deal at all. Really, it was no deal, let alone a big one. In random order… (more…) Read more
