    Janelle’s closing rap… “Yeah, Let’s flip it I don’t think they understand what I’m trying to say I asked a question like this Are we a lost generation of our people? Add us to equations but they’ll never make us equal. She who writes the movie owns the script and the sequel. So why ain’t the stealing of my rights made illegal? They keep us underground working hard for the greedy, But when it’s time pay they turn around and call us needy.

    Arranging the Soundtrack of a Life Still in Progress

    May 1, 2013 /

    I love music.  It never ceases to amaze me how I can be led to a song that speaks so much about my situation or a period of my life.  Recently I found a song by Chrisette Michelle called “Notebook”. As a writer, the title of the song intrigued me.  However, the lyrics when I heard them and read them, spoke to my soul.  I can honestly say, the song describes the feelings I felt during that delicate moment when my affection for my husband was developing from a friend into a deep romantic love.

    3 years, 2 months, and 13 days – This Girl is On Fire

    March 11, 2013 /

    Saturday marked 9 months since I said “I Do” to my husband and almost a month since my relocation to Texas to be with him.  3 years, 2 months, and 13 days since we began our courtship… It feels as if I have known him forever. Actually, it has been more than half my life.  The last time I saw him before we re-connected in early 2009; I was a young girl-woman heading out into the world with fire in my eyes.  I was ready to change the world.
