    As we head into Black history month 2017  I hope to find out more and report on the under-told story of
    "free negro" - A  British legal status referring to  black people in early America who were not nor were ever slaves.  If anyone has any info know that I welcome all tips!

      thank you for the suggestion! It is time for me to get a new library card for here.  My last one was good for Illinois.  I need to get out of the house anyway.

      Welp @richardmurray , that was short-lived. I don't have to leave the house today -  these books are archived at archive.org. I just downloaded a pdf :)

    Have you heard of Jelly?  It's a Q & A social media platform.  I answered this question " I need new shoes for walking/jogging long distance. My biggest issue is that  I have a men's size 16 shoe. Any tips on a brand?"  

    I linked to your FAQ on your site about 15 and up-personal shopping and my answer was helpful. Not sure if you're on Jelly but with your expertise in shoes - I think you'd do well there too!

      Hi Mel! 

      I haven't heard of Jelly, but it likes something I should check into. You know I appreciate you putting the page out there. It's a great feature for those people that use it. I have some really good regulars using that personal shopping feature. I hope all is well and good looking out!!!

    drinking straws at Sam's club was the best bargain I've found. 3000 straws for $10 First Straw: Sumerians #BlackHistory

     "Black people don't do this that", "Black people boycott", Black people protest"  is so reactionary, so yesterday, My word of today is ACTUATE:  From the latin word "Actus" to medieval latin "Actuare", "Actuat"  to carry out in practice; to stir into activity; enliven!   

    Let's GO!

      The whole scene now is reactionary. You are more than right. I every rarely get into the whole thing now. I practice what I preach and just get stuff done. We should all be that way.

      I was chatting (on an actual phone call) last night and I noticed my friend and I kept saying what "black people don't do" and then finally she said "What we do"  and I nearly dropped my phone because her words were so powerful!  It is now my goal to focus on "People who do  (blank)!"

      That's definitely more empowering than talking about what we don't do. People always ask me do I know what's going on in the news. I often say nope and the reason I say nope is because I can't control that, shape it or change it so it doesn't deserve my energy. I'm with you and I am focused on doing vs talking and hearsay.

    Synapses are firing in the restaurant section of my brain and I smell Costco's Pepperoni Pizza.

    A recruiter asked me, "How much do you travel for business?" Of course working as a flight attendants 2 weeks each month I had to say 100%

    I wonder how many blessings do we give away because to our lying eyes they look like curses." May we be blessed with DIVINE SIGHT.

    Apparently you can't say "I "feel" like I'm being raped" when going to thru airport security. A woman said it -PHL TSA went into Lock Down.

    Is very happy with hotels that offer free internet access in the room. Thank you Hilton!

    Most of us operate on default status until we override the settings with action. Be thankful for ANY active intervention that wakes us up.

    Now why didn't i think about producing the "mohawk" styled winter hat? These urban fashions are hilarious.

    Your professional network may contain a few of your friends and family but your friends are NOT your professional network – true or false?

    Truth is simple. Lies are elaborate and like complex fraction they must be reduced to their least common denominator to be useful. K.I.S.S.

    Sales receipts tell a lot about your life, your values, health-risks, and your romance or lack thereof #TMI
