Today’s Weekend Chronicles… I’m all about traveling. I’m even more about traveling to celebrate life over scrambling to plan travel for a funeral. I blocked my calendar months ago to attend this milestone celebration because even though Kameka and her sister left me at the Von Braun Center years ago (last night’s story reminded me),… Continue reading 08.18.2019

Today’s Racial Equity Chronicles… I find it interesting how so many want me to turn my Chronicles into a blog and when I respond with, “No one wants to read what I have to say…” they’ll respond with, “I do.” These Racial Equity Chronicles prove me right. If I talked about what I REALLY wanted… Continue reading 08.09.2019

(In a tone of, “you know we only eat one kind”)Me: *Pointed at the truck of… Continue reading 07.28.2019

Today’s Weekend Chronicles… Pics 1 and 2: You KNOW the food is good when the menu has multiple grammatical errors. Picked Michai up Friday where he discussed his English EOC. Said it was hard for him to stay awake while reading the passages. He also said poetry had the most difficult questions. Him: The poem… Continue reading 06.09.2019

Today’s Education Chronicles… On a day when I would normally meet with my students, I sat in a room with other volunteers to celebrate the close of another reading season. Was encouraged by the two people who sat at my table as we discussed the highs and lows of being a volunteer. One discussed how… Continue reading 05.09.2019

Today’s Education Chronicles… My student’s were so engaged today on our FINAL day together. Against my better judgement, I took them some cupcakes and I’m glad I did because they earned them. It was my mother’s idea so I guess mothers DO know best. While working on their activity, we needed some REAL glue so… Continue reading 05.02.2019

Today’s (A Whole Lot Of Stuff) Chronicles… Attended the AHA Go Red Luncheon. While it was quick, it was very informative! Nurse Valda sprinkled so much intentional and unapologetic Black Momma Magic in that room. She talked about there being 365 days in a year, 1,440 minutes in a day and 23,040 breaths taken in… Continue reading 05.01.2019

Today’s Friendship Chronicles… One of my members greeted me Thursday and asked how I was doing on “the 4th Monday of the week?” It’s been a long and mentally draining week; one that requires a gathering of friends to talk and encourage one another. The gathering happened in a nontraditional way, but it is typically… Continue reading 04.13.2019
