My Second Quill...

I want to say somewhere around 2004 a lady by the name of Annette Moore who was my supervisor at the time, bought something for me. It was very special. The occasion was my birthday. Annette is the type of person that really shows an interest in whatever you are doing when she likes you and truly cares. That is how she is to me.

Another thing about Annette, is when she recognizes a great worker, she acknowledges them, and she, acknowledged me often. The job that I had, didn't really pay me what I was worth at that time and she knew that, and without my knowledge she tried a few times to win me a significant raise, it just wasn't in her power to get me what she thought I should have. However, to make up for it, she paid attention to my likes, interest and hobbies and always provided me small gestures of happiness, which warmed my heart time and time again. To know that someone cared about me and appreciated me that way.

With all of that said. What she bought me, was my second quill. I must share with you that I used it for the first time tonight to sign my very first published poetry edition called "I Just Want to Write!" to myself. A long awaited dream of mine by the way.

A lot of people don't know this but, I'm in love with words, paper, quills, ink, coffee, tea and anything that has to do with my lifestyle (a writers lifestyle). So, when someone takes interest in that and put thought into something they knew I would love, appreciate and hold dear to my heart, it's cherished forever. I don't often speak with Annette Moore but she means much to me and she knows she does. So, Annette, if you're reading this, I just wanted to say "Thank you so much for all you've ever done for me and especially when you gave me my quill."

Love always,
Until...

P.S. Annette Moore is known in the writers world, I only hope she's happy with these paragraphs. LOL! :)

Until Speaks: Harbor College Gym October 2014

I received an opportunity to speak to sixteen beautiful unique young women ranging from the ages of 18 through 23 in the Harbor College Basketball Gym after their game. This took place on October 30th of 2014 at 8pm. When I was first introduced, I realized right before I went up to speak, I was heavily nervous, however when I heard my name, I easily became comfortable.  I couldn't believe it because way before getting ready to arrive, I was contemplating back and forth, praying to God every five minutes asking him to send me some words, asking him to give me the right words to speak and that he allow me to have a positive influence with great impact; and as sure as I stood up in front of  those fresh new faces, I was good to go.  I thanked them for having me, and told them my name. After my name I began with " with that being said, I'm not here to try and impress you. I'm not here to try and razzle, dazzle my words for you. I'm also not here to show o...

Until's Random Progress Report 2014

Hey everyone! Did you miss me? I missed you too. Well, I just wanted to check in and say hello to you and let you know about the updated status of me. I've been doing well. God has been blessing me back to back and although in the mist of my blessings, I've also been encountering trials, however, I choose to focus on the good. So, what's new? As some of you already know, my book; I Just Want to Write! I'm so excited because it's been doing well. However, I postponed advertising it because I"ve had to really return back my focus on the Children's Zone of the Los Angeles Black Book Expo in which I am the Youth Director for because that has become a stressful situation. We've changed venue's twice, working on getting our third, but due to no fault of our own of course. So, deposits had to be returned, and schedule rearranging became more important because not only has the venues changed a couple of times, so have the dates. Now, I'm glad ...

Stressing about what ain't....

Hey everyone! How are you? I hope all is well. Well, I just want to share a quick thought with you. You know what I love about life sometimes? Is that sometimes someone can bring something to your attention and make you think it's something to worry about--and of course because you're a smart person, you don't just take their word for it you go and check it out for yourself. Only to find that it was nothing to worry about at all. All this time I was "Stressing about what ain't" and I feel so much better. The moral is, make sure you check things out for yourself, no matter how credible you think your source may be; because you  might find that it wasn't everything it was all hyped up to be. Have a great day! Until...
