TWO SCRAPED KNEES

Words can't begin to express my current

state. I am elated. I am grateful.

I am blessed. And, you best believe,

I'm an author ;)

Two Scraped Knees is a memoir

detailing a few of my experiences.

Shared to inspire and motivate,

I welcome you into my world.

Listening Ears Project: You & Your Happy

I'm beginning another venture entitled,

Listening Ears Project,

 and this time around, 

I want to know when are you the happiest!?

Draw it out, write it out, send poems, letters, pictures....whatever!

Just answer the question**

And, no judgment here!

Send your info to

ListeningEarsProject@gmail.com

but please DO NOT include your name

or any other identifying information in

the body of your email.....

I don't want to know who you are,

I'm just curious about you

and your 'happy.'

In other words, remain anonymous!

I do ask, however, that

you're creative, honest and that the

information is legible**

So, go ahead, I'm listening!

ElectricTongue: Bare.

Everyone knows that fashion is my thing, it's what I do.
However, what I really want is to become bare.
With that special someone.
Remove everything from the outsiders.
Peel away all the convoluted layers.
And, just be.
Oblivious to what others say. Turning deaf ears towards what others think we should be and do.
Ready to define ourselves and what we are and what we want and what our love is.
Bare.
Transparent.
The ability to see right through each other and appreciate it. No, love it.
Here, with us.
Absent is the ability to cry lonesome tears.
Absent is the ability to laugh only with crowds.
Us. Two. Are. Enough.
Us. Two.
Where secrets aren't an option and acceptance is accepted.
Where hurt is long gone and peace is persistent.
Bare.
To touch. To feel.
Us.
Where protection isn't needed because us are the truth.
Because us is real.
Because us is both bare.
Giving all. And, getting it all back.

Runaway (It's Pure Genius!)

It's been a long time coming, almost three years but alas, my book is complete! And, a copy is on its way!! EXHALE..... Thank God for keeping me focused despite the many setbacks and, of course, a big wooohooo to my family who continuously holds me down.

It's inspirational. It's my life. For those who think you know, trust me, you haven't a clue. Two Scraped Knees.

To Ban or Not: Kanye's Cover

Introducing.....

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy!

Looks like Wal-Mart is the first to ban the cover,

who or what entity will be next?

Kanye made a valid point, however,

that in the 70's, nudity was rampant on album

covers. So, how is it, that in this progressive

'New World,' such depictions are labeled

'inappropriate' and therefore, banned?

And, what implications does this have

on creative expression?
