In today's news..

I wanna be heard.

So I'm multitasking on my mac with a zillion Safari windows open, you know,.. typing out some thoughts, looking at Undercrown's, and Supreme's spring fashion lines, checking email, chatting, watching a Blake Griffin you tube video, searching my dream car,.. and this song played on my i-tune genius.

I have to pull inspiration from everything.

I couldn't have said it better.

The Forecast Coming Soon

The Forecast Coming Soon

A friend posted this on facebook yesterday, and I figured it was worth spreading. While I don't write extensively on relationships, this video commanded my attention.

I expected to watch for 30 seconds and close the video. I was prepared to hear that same conversation, you know, the bland "single black woman" cry for help. How was I surprised.

Good material, no matter your relationship status. This joint has me doing a self check! This is organic dialogue..

I thought this was tight.

Fighting in the "Ring of Hope"

An easy way to avoid trouble is by keeping busy. Do whatever, just stay busy! Trouble lurks around idle time, all the time.

I work with high school students and this is the most important, yet most challenging message I can drive home. It's helpful to have a fun activity in your quiver to help reinforce this golden guidance.

My biggest resource in addition to "The Little Black Pearl" (art program) is the The Ring of Hope- boxing mentoring program. For a couple of my more aggressive mentees this is the perfect way for them release built-up tension.

Here is a recent post I wrote for cpsmentors.com, which gives a description of what the brothers over at the ROH are putting together.
