For the last decade the Wedding has been the “thing”.  Marriage has become a byproduct of the pomp and circumstances of outlandish vow trading ceremonies.  We all know about the Kim K. /K. Humphries televised event.  Recently a newsmagazine did a story about an 800 pound bride who was getting the final fitting for her wedding dress.  And there was the story about the couples in China who got married underwater in a marine museum.

Mother to Mother

From the time of conception, we have evolved into this beautiful being,

If fulfilling no other purpose, for God, to nurture and birth another.

For nine months transforming, preparing, and understanding,

The blessing conceived in a moment, a miracle, will become a lifetime of love

Anticipating, the what ifs, the how and why of it all, the pain

We are willing to endure, for the angel, has promised we are blessed

We learn, we grow, we…

Brothers and Sisters:

I know we are all writers. But even among the most talented of us there is always a "renaissance man" (or woman) whose talents transcend even the most worthy. I am one such person.

I have worked as the editor of two major black newspapers, The Milwaukee Courier and the Omaha Crusader. I have won two national essay contests, one in 1979 (Urban League/Liggett) and one in 1986 (National Council for Black Studies). I have more than 2,300 newspaper articles in…

The story focuses on the pressures faced by a small group of survivors forced to cooperate after aliens alter…

Otha people's newz has gotten in the way these past few days. Haven't been able to jump into the final chapters of this latest project. But, this morning, just before leavin' the apartment, dived into a paragraph or two. And today, I had to go in a li'l early to work on otha people's newz. But, after settling down, and the day calmed, inspiration fought back. And it hit hard. Couldn't stop it. Good thing the work flow was on pause at the time.
