This blog is dedicated to African American poet, Otis O’Solomon.
I heard Otis speak recently. He read from one of his poems titled Honesty Poem and I thought it beautiful, touching, and insightful. Here is an excerpt:

Good Enough
The other morning I saw a bloke in a white business shirt, red bow tie and suspenders commuting in a black Saab with a bumper sticker that read, “Failure is Not an Option.”
Candle in the Wind
Last week a legend was born out of the ashes of an infamous life.
Blonde and bosomy bombshell, Anna Nicole Smith, imploded mysteriously as the lifeline from her public persona to her authentic self disconnected permanently.
Letting Girlfriends Go
Most of us know how to deliver breakup news to a bloke: be honest yet tactful and avoid gauche text messages along lines of “IDIVORCEU.”
But what are the rules for breaking up with a girlfriend?
Kids & Passion
Have you listened to a child lately, taken note as they’ve talked about their dreams and passions?
I didn’t think kids had passions, I knew they had hobbies. I’ve always associated passion with grown ups, more specifically, two grown-ups in hot pursuit of skin-on-skin activity.
Give a Goat
If I hear one more comment from the media along lines of “the holiday shopping season is off and running,” I think I’ll vomit.
My gut on the verge has nothing to do with the after effects of pigging out last Thursday. However, since Thanksgiving, I have been overfed subliminal messages suggesting that seasonal deals abound out there.
Power of Thought
Tomorrow is a very big day for manifesting via the power of positive what if-ing. You see, it’s Heart Chakra Day.
Dedicate this day to focusing on love, prosperity, healing, kindness and gratitude. Imagine your life, and the lives of others, overflowing with abundance.

Over a quiet lunch yesterday I asked my honey, Nikov, what he was thinking. He grunted, “nothing.”
“Nothing!” I trilled. “How can you think nothing? That’s impossible, you had to be thinking something! Speak to me! Tell me what you were thinking.”
Bigger, Better, Stronger
The new hurricane mandate is this: All future hurricanes will be named Martha, as in Martha 1, Martha 2, Martha 3, and so on.
The reason? Omnimedia giant, Martha Stewart, is a human whirlwind of unparalleled proportion and thus, it is time to recognize and honor her as the powerhouse that she is.
Sexual Ambiguity
The metrosexual look is a good thing. If the blokes are now feeling pressured to pluck their mono-brow, wax their shoulders, and shave their legs then they now know what we girls go through.
And that’s just in the hair removal department!
