THERE ARE GOOD DAYS, AND THEN .....

.....there are days that are beyond good, beyond your wildest dreams....days that every single molecule in the earth seems to be lined up for your greater good.....days when you feel like you can do absolutely everything and anything (and you do)....when all is well with the world. These days you want to last forever.

Friday night poetry was wonderful as usual. Four new sisters came out and one read her work. She wrote the poems over ten years ago and it was just as powerful and just as relevant. Saturday I took the kids to the playground and had an awesome time being a kid again, erasing all of my adult concerns, being silly on the swings. Back home in our yard, we laid a blanket across the carpet of beautiful green grass, carried a bowl of fresh strawberries, apples, bananas and some sandwiches outside and had a very delightful picnic amongst the awakening trees that make us bend our necks back in order to see their tops.

Saturday evening I finished the brochure for the Poetry and Prose Literary Arts Collective -- so now, anyone who wants info can just call or email me and I'll send it.

But Sunday was the kicker. Sunday, I was back on the radio again .... this time at MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY. I took the collective and we just absolutely blew it up. A caller called in and said, "All I can say is....move over Maya Angelou and Nikki Giovanni.....a new generation is coming through." I was elated, so much so I couldn't sleep. He also wants to discuss booking us for a benefit.
Today, I find out the cover for the book is done. Two loose ends but we are, by all accounts, ready to go to print.
I'll be posting the cover on the main page as soon as it's released.

YIPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!

It's done. It's done. It's done, done, done. (Doing a jigg).

There are days that everything, every single thing feels right.
