It’s hard to believe. That time of the year has come back around. It is my baby’s birthday. He’s not a baby, really. But that is besides the point. Eleven years ago, he came into the world wide-eyed. I will never forget that face and those eyes. I […]
Growing up my mom was often quite fearful. Yet she was very brave. Let me explain. I grew up in the South Bronx. It was not necessarily the safest area for a young girl or many others. Things have since changed but there was fear of crime in […]
For some unfathomable reason, I have been binging on the television show NCIS: Los Angeles. I am now into season six. There’s apparently ten seasons and each have 24 episodes. That’s an awful lot of binging coming up. I suppose if one goes by a stricter definition of […]
This summer is a big contrast to that 11 years ago when my son was a baby. Well, he is still my baby. Always will be. Speaking of which, “Always be My Maybe” is a good original Netflix film. Just thought I would share that nugget. Now back […]

My son loves playing video games. Not a big shock considering he is ten years old. Minecraft. Fortnite. Name it. Actually, that’s all I can name. In playing his games, he connects with other kids across the country. He has made some “good” friends from different places. And, […]
I love the month of May. It’s my month and I’ll do with it what I want to. Namely, work, sleep and binge-watch. Also, laugh. Lots of laughter. It is truly the best thing ever. But I’m not here to talk about laughing. I’m here to talk about […]
