Visual Artists, Writers, Collectors, and Creatives, here’s a chance for you to become a part of something magnificently gargantuan.
I hope to see your work in Portraits, the upcoming digital magazine, launching in March.
Portraits on Tiffany is a blog full of artistic goodness, “funkdafied” music, and reminiscent reflections. I am happy a digital magazine is being produced by such a worthy artist. If you haven’t visited her website yet, I invite you to do so soon.

Gloria Aduwala, known as “Nana Glo”, is sunshine and spiritual positivity. Kelsey finds her outside enjoying a spring breeze after a period of consolation with her father, Kazi.
Nana Glo greets her first grandchild with a light-hearted smile and a bear hug.
“What’s ailin’ ya, child?”
“Why didn’t you tell me, Nana Glo? I’m adopted . . . but I’m still family.”
“Child, what’s this I hear?! Why didn’t I tell ya?! That’s fuh ya parents to say. Not ya Nana. Ya still family–everything how it’s ‘sposed to be, child. Ya where ya should be. Ya loved right. Ya clothed, fed, and got a roof over ya head. Ya where ya should be, Kelsey Aduwala.”
Kelsey turns to hug Nana Glo–sinks her timid teenage face into her nana’s bosom–lets out a loud sigh.

Sunday dinner: BBQ Pork belly. I don’t typically eat pork. However, I had a craving for it, so I have learned not to deny myself what I want, but to eat it in moderation when I have a certain craving. Sunday, February 16, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt

The weekend always passes by so quickly. It’s as though it is trying to leave before we can tell it how much we love and need it. I think if I start giving it a bit more money to coax it to be my forever partner, it’ll probably stay put. I doubt it, though. It’s like a rolling stone–so many hats, so many homes outside of mine.
Have a fantastic week ahead, beautiful people! Peace and blessings!
Haven’t you gotten your copy of my new book: a collection of serial tales & flash fiction, Séduire (E-Book and Paperback) yet?
Valentine’s Day isn’t a favorite holiday of mine. Love should be shared and expressed every day. There doesn’t need to be a special day to show that you love, care, adore, and wish to be kind and give to your loved ones and others.
But, here we are.
Addendum: for those of you wondering about the garlic and honey, it’s a natural medicine. It has major health benefits and is rather inexpensive as well. Here’s a YouTube (one of many) about it.
I will do a roundup post each Saturday (or Sunday if I run out of time!). So please be sure to participate before time runs out! I can’t wait to read your stories. 😀 I hope that you’ll be back for next week’s Six Word Story Prompt. Have fun! Thank you for participating. Until next week, folks!
