He wanted sparkly nails. His sister obliged. Was just gifted this giant coffee table from a friend who thought it was copper. It had turned completely black. But I’ve started cleaning it.

Forever 21, Why Do You Hate Me? | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2008.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2008. Dear Sir ('cause I know a woman would not be behind this): I have an issue with the sizing at your store. I know, I know. The name of your store should be a warning. I'm not 21 - not even close. I know that my needs could be better met in a store called "Forever Mid-Thirties". Or "Despereately Clinging to My Youth". But still, your budget prices and sassy fashions beckon me in again and again. During my . . .
Wednesday’s Child: Gabe & Micah
Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .

Mommy, I want to fix my skin so it will be white || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2008.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2008. Ohhh . . . my heart is hurting tonight. This evening Jafta opened up about how he feels being the only brown person in our family, and it was devastating. He's really never commented about it before, and we try to keep the dialogue open. But tonight he said the following, Mommy, I don't like my brown skin. I want it to be white. I want to take my skin off. I don't want this hair. I want hair like daddy. I . . .
