Quote of Month: Standing the test of time

11/24/2019

 

The constitution is strategic, at times unrevealing, but never flawless in facing tough testaments, as it, in a commanding way,  protects itself.  And so time and time again, the whistle blows.

Quote of the Month: On Books

8/28/2019

 

We rely on books to:
 
Transport us to another place and meet what we could only imagine;
Draw on our emotions, spread our lips with a smile, make us laugh;
Shed a few happy tears, if not to comfort, lend a shoulder to cry on, provide moral support, guidance.
 
Books bring out the human side of us.
Books are the fabric of our being.
 
"Books Are Like a Spotlight Taking Center Stage in This Grand Place Called Life."

Quote of the Month:  A dedication

6/8/2019

 

We love quotes; we sought quotes for a spark of wisdom.
 
As I think about the quote I’ve chosen for the month, young readers of past, present and future come to mind: their joyous eyes opening for the first time to the magical world of storytelling, their ABCs unimaginative alive on page. Something about that is classical, as classical as the storytelling itself. From the beginning of time who knew the building blocks of each alphabet would have such a magical impact. Really! And just think! Who do we owe it all to?

Tracing back you may give tribute to the school teachers of Paris 1888 or give tribute to the Egyptians of 15th century BC. If you dig deeper trying to fill the void of missing something or the void of needing more, then look around, see the bright side. And know that somewhere trying to claw its way through the monument of books, is this classic one dying to be discovered, dedicated especially to you.
​
Finding that unique read in stacks and aisles of books galore can be a bit daunting. This is when good recommendations would come in handy. But do keep in mind this one thing while in search of that special book:

Quote of the Month

3/21/2019

 

“I know pleasure, when given it clears the air.” The quote is promiscuous by nature, of which it immediately plants in the mind, "Yeah, I know exactly what the author was thinking." It would come as an afterthought to think, "Maybe the author meant something else entirely,” as it sinks in that the quote is relatable in so many ways. Because indeed its intimacy imparts a much deeper expression.   
​
The heart of the matter is that something must happen in order to clear the air. And yet, something has. And that, my dear, is spring.   

That’s right! Spring has come and moved out the brutal winter stubborn about leaving because in some places it’s still fighting to stay.   

Aah, what pleasure springtime brings. We feel it, we smell it, we hear it. In our minds, we even taste it. What great pleasure springtime brings. And to celebrate it we spruce up the house, the environment with some spring cleaning. Out with the old, in with the new.   

And what better way to celebrate than with plants that clean the air. There are many to choose from as I have posted a few that caught my eye. Click on the images to learn about them.   

But wait! So the quote originated with you thinking about spring? Yeah, I hear you, and the answer is no, far from it.

But I ask you this: Doesn't it bring pleasure when something unsettles you but suddenly it doesn't any more? When you have a meeting of the minds, and when something is said or done and that something makes a world of difference, no matter how small this something may seem, but nonetheless significant, because it fulfilled a desire? A desire to feel at ease--precisely what's needed. Suddenly the air is lighter. You're lighter and breathing more freely. And there it is, right in that moment, Pleasure.

Yes, I know pleasure, and when given, it clears the air.

Honoring Black History

2/7/2019

 

SOME years ago, when I was teaching a graduate seminar in fiction at Columbia University, a well-known male novelist visited my class to speak on his development as a writer. In discussing his formative years, he didn't realize it but he seriously endangered his life by remarking that women writers are luckier than those of his sex because they usually spend so much time as children around their mothers and their mothers' friends in the kitchen.

What did he say that for? The women students immediately forgot about being in awe of him and began readying their attack for the question and answer period later on. Even I bristled. There again was that awful image of women locked away from the world in the kitchen with only each other to talk to, and their daughters locked in with them.... ---Paule Marshall, From The Poets in The Kitchen---
 
The visual is a clear reminder of how far we have come as women. And in honor of Black History Month, I make a tribute to all black women standing tall in their unique, phenomenal ways.   

​And, a special honor to Paule Marshall's lifelong achievements, and for her narrative "From The Poets In The Kitchen". I first came across the article in The Norton Anthology of African American Literature, but you can find the article here:

Quote of The Month

2/1/2019

 

"Images are life's most cherished moments quoted with wings." This expression came to me while coming up with creative ways to market my then-new book, and has since become one of my favorite quotes. It's beautiful--if I say so myself--and its effectiveness will forever ring true. Endlessly will I find new ways to express it.
