I recently reconnected with an old childhood friend on Facebook. My girl from the hood (we just called ourselves neighbors back then) was trying to piece together the last 30 years of my life. She’d gathered some snippets here and there, but her timeline was messed up.  So I wrote back to her and managed to fit the last […]

The Alchemist (by Paulo Coelho)   Okay, so I don’t always read every book twice, but this is another one that I’m on the second read through for a good reason.  I didn’t choose to read this book, it chose me.  My copy of the book is sporting a shiny “20th Anniversary” sticker, and yet […]
