Carnem Levare
In celebration of Carnival…
As I attended a Facebook party several years ago, I came across some pictures of Carnival in Venice. I was totally entranced. You see, I’m more familiar with the Caribbean version of Carnival. In Guyana, my country of birth, we call it Mashramani. It’s our annual celebration of becoming a Republic. Moreover, the phrase Mashramani is an Amerindian term meaning the “celebration of a job well done”. Counties throughout the Caribbean have various labels and meaning to...

Day 3: Ann Petry
Ann Lane Petry’s birth date is not certain. Some biographers state October 12, 1911, while others list it as October 12, 1908. Either way, she was born in Old Saybrook, Connecticut, a predominantly white, rural community. Her family often told stories while she was growing up, and Petry began writing short stories and plays while she was still in high school.
The Street is her most famous novel, published in 1946; it made her the first black woman writer with bo...

Signs you might need to rethink your career
[image error]
Once upon a time, I had a fulfilling job with a company I loved working for and coworkers I considered family. My life changed close to four years ago. After pretty much everyone in my department was let go due to an affiliation related downsizing, I didn’t work for nearly eighteen months. Now mind you, I had been employed with that company for about twelve years. When I finally got back into the workforce, over the course of just over two years, I’ve worked at four different companies.

Per reviewer:
A Refreshing Romantic Reflection
This was not the book I thought it would be, which is a good thing. I don’t want to give away the entire plot here, but it isn’t the simple romance it appears, it is a thoughtful reflection on love, what is perceived as love, and what is needed to make a relationship work. Author Janice Ross does a great job bringing the reader in and making the characters real.

Thanks to 2016!
Over the past several year-ends, I’ve sung the woes of how crappy the prior 12 months have been. And I promised myself that the upcoming year MUST be better. I even wrote out everything I “knew” would be accomplished in the upcoming year, only to fall flat every blasted time. I refuse to do that to myself once again. Instead, I’m going to try with all of my being to pick through the “crap storm” of 2016 and highlight the positive. I’ll even go as far as to NOT look ahead to a better 2017. Pl...
