As I watch the story unfold about the Arkansas student Kymberly Wimberly I find myself uneasy about the facts being reported and how they’re slowly coming out, but I’m watching with great interest. The best possible newsworthy article I have s...

Sometimes when I read the comments on one of my postings I am struck right away and then I process it and figure out how I’m going to deal with it. It doesn’t always come with that caveat, but then there are times when I listen to something th...

I’ve found a new website. I’m redesigning this one. FINALLY. It’s taking forever. But this is a short post just to say that summer is ending far too soon, I’m using “grok” a lot these days when I talk to people, and tha...

First things first: I’m writing a book proposal and it’s taken me longer than I thought it would but I got some good advice from a few published friends about that so I halted what I was doing and read three books (3!) on the subject on publis...

As it’s been a full week already (it’s Tuesday, people! Tuesday and it feels like it’s taken forever just to get here!) I should post the results from the hair product contest before people eat me alive. That would be bad blogging and I ...

We have a few house rules in Casa de Mocha y El Cuban. One of them is that when I leave the house to get my hair done (cut, color, deep conditioning, etc…) it is required that The Cuban comment on it with a “Nice hair” or a “You lo...

Next month I’ll be attending the annual BlogHer conference again and I’ll be doing something that I haven’t previously done at the past six I have attended. I’ll be moderating a session. In the past I have been a speaker on several...

Every year when I go visit the Evil Dr. Porkchop at my annual check-up, he tells me to get a mammogram because I need some baseline results. No, his real name isn’t Evil Dr. Porkchop, but last year they had a commercial for Toy Story 3 playing on a ...

Suebob is an old friend of mine and if I were to try to count back how long I’ve known her it would mean that I would have to say I was in my 30s at the time and Suebob was in her 40s. Suffice to say that I’m 40 now and Suebob is turning 50 to...

The last person in the world who should be reviewing a Cirque du Soleil show is me. Most of what I want to say about it is wow and amazeballs and holy god they are some limber people. It would end up being a rather amateur critique. But I’m going to...

It occurs to me that I cannot come up with a pithy title. Summer brain must be in full effect already. It’s either that or I’ve been so busy since posting about doing good deeds that my brain feels like it’s been on the spin cycle. Proje...

Earlier this week my friend Christine asked that I help spread the word about a project she worked on for her friend who just died from ovarian cancer. I promised her that I would do it and I just finished my purchase of the cards she made. She’s se...

I am not a gardener. Let me just admit that right up front. Actually, I told on myself a while back so it’s really no secret. I have never had my own garden nor can I recognize a lot of plants or flowers unless that little tag is attached to one. My...

It’s safe to say the when you have a major event occur in your life you recall the details with tenacious clarity. When my friends tell me stories of the important things in their lives they do so in just that manner. There isn’t always a lot ...

I will be attending a Conversations with Coca-Cola event next week in Atlanta where I will be meeting with their leadership team. Coke will be paying for my travel and lodging and I am being financially compensated for writing this post. As always, they a...

*Attention, Language Police: I’m only quoting other people here.* **But I quote myself when I call my boyfriend “The Cuban” because I simply refuse to use his real name.** Last summer I wrote about having tried to get through Kathryn Sto...

I am hardly a gardener but I have inherited a fantastic array of plants and flowers that I know almost nothing about. The one year anniversary of moving into this house just past last weekend and this year it seems that I am paying far more attention to w...

Mallory is, by far, the most well-rounded and thoughtful person I know. I normally try not to make sweeping statements like that about people, but she’s my kid and there is no one in the world who has been as close to me. While I realize it takes tw...
