The Man and the Hole
A man went walking through the woods. As he walked he breathed deeply of the fresh air. His eyes and ears drank up all the beauty around him. Though he’d walked this path many times before, this time, He was so enthralled with what he saw and what he heard that he decided to stray from the beaten path. Distracted by creation, he lost track of time, and soon the sun plummeted below the horizon like a weary eyelid closing for rest; as it did shadows chased each other among the magnificent trees. One of these shadows happened to disguise a deep hole and tripped the man who fell down the deep shaft.

The Little Black Book and the Challenge
A strange thing happened to me last week. As I was sitting in my study reading, the bell rang. I went to answer, and as the entry to my portico swung and the morning light flooded through the room, I caught the silhouette of an unfamiliar figure standing on my stoop with a small package. He was a tall, well-dressed man. I said “hello.” He said, “message for you sir,” handed me the package, and turned and walked away. Confused, I took the package, politely said thank you, turned, and closed the door.

Cha Ching!
Big money! Big money! Big money! Bring me that jackpot baby! Can you smell it? It's Vegas. The lights, the strip, tall drinks, high heels, the three-piece suits, and the actual smell of perfume, alcohol, and smoke all rolled up in one. I get a nice breeze every time someone walks by. Tonight is the night though. I can feel it in my toes! I am going to win. There is a random raffle name drawing for the Grandfather Grand Prize of $2 million dollars plus an orange Infiniti FX45 and a surprise, mysterious package in the glovebox. I began humming to myself the Happy Birthday tune.

I Am My Own Inspiration
I Am My Inspiration For many years I was asked who inspired me and why. I always found that question to be challenging because no one person inspired me. I believe that my inspiration comes from my young self. I am inspired when I look at my past and how far I came. A fews years back I was a lost black girl who did not know herself. I was conflicted within after losing my father. I felt like I no longer had a home or did not belong. I spent years trying to fit in with my peers and my surroundings but I simply did not fit in. I became an outcast.

Black In Between The Cracks
“Your skin is not only dark, it shines and it tells your story. Keep dancing, they can’t control you. They watch and they all adore you. If ever you are in doubt, remember what Mama told you.” —Beyonce Knowles, “Brown Skin Girl” (July 2019)

The Boy and The Tree
There once was a young boy whos’ imagination was so astonishing that even he would eventually believe it was real. His family was poor and thus he wasn’t able to experience life in the ways the youth of today does. No bike to ride no toys to play with, no siblings to to share his imagination with, nothing. All this young boy had was a mother, a father, a roof over his head and a small black notbook. His father worked for what seemed like forever so the boy rarely ever seen him. As for his mother, she worked diligently to preserve the home and make sure the boy was clean and had eaten his 3 meals. Since, his mother and father had little money for anything else other then food, water, and the other bills which came with the house. The boy was never given a proper childhood, but the boy understood this and at such a young age he developed his imagination so bright and wonderful that he could escape into another world. A world of his choosing, could do anything, go anywhere, and have anything he imagined! This small black notebook that was empty had began to fill, day after day and page after page a new adventure was captured in his small black notebook. Soon hundreds of pages were full. Cover to Cover the boy had created a new life full of magic and whenever he wanted an escape from his real world all he had to do was open the small black notebook to one of the number of pages, close his eyes and use his imagination to disappear into the world he most enjoyed.

lucky little black book
lucky little black book by: the ADHD Accountant - Krid ‘It was a dark and stormy night’ certainly sounds like a dramatic way for me to start my story. My quasi-biographical how-it-happened-to-me tale of overnight fortune. The truth is that it wasn’t a dark and stormy night at all; it was the cumulation of almost 20 years of on and off again sardonic amusement against the gods of speculation. A clever phrase I’ve ripped off of Emily D. Baker, by the way. Though I couldn’t say if she was the first to use it. She mentioned someone named Saltsy?

The Seasons of Oneself
There were only two important things in my life last summer. It almost seems silly now that I was so concerned with something that others thought so small, so tiny. But it was so much bigger than that. My whole entire life was in my writing, in the journal that I brought with me everywhere I went. The tiny, little black notebook that held my deepest thoughts.
