Hello, beautiful people. I have decided I need to take a short break away from WordPress. It’s long overdue.
I will be back at it next Tuesday, March 26, 2024, with the next “A Tuesday Snapshot” photo prompt. I hope tomorrow and the upcoming weekend and Monday will be kind to you all.
For now, I’ll leave you with a few images of a dish I cooked last night: coconut curry shrimp (jumbo) with red & green peppers, Roma tomatoes, fresh garlic, onions, spinach, and Jasmine rice.

I’ll see you guys next Tuesday. Be good to yourselves.
I am a lover of music. I’m certain I do not have to tell any of you this.
Jennifer Patino and her husband have an awesome website (The Jam Files) where they review artists, get nostalgic about their favorite songs, and share just flat out great writing on top of it all.
I’ve written a piece for this brilliant venture, and it was published yesterday.
You can follow The White Rabbit by clicking the link to read below. I hope you enjoy your time spent there.
1. I am currently reading the above book, Boys and Girls Screaming by Kern Carter. Kern is a vulnerable and incredibly talented writer I met through the platform Medium. He uses language in a way I do not see used often, and he is also unafraid to write from various different perspectives.
So far, the book is tearing at my heartstrings and has kept me more than engulfed in it since I began reading it this past Monday night. Here’s a snippet of the synopsis, just in case you’re interested:
When Ever’s father passes away suddenly, she is devastated. Not long after that, her mom has a stroke and Ever’s anguish becomes almost too much for her to handle. That’s when she gets the idea to form a group she calls Boys and Girls Screaming. Along with her brother, Jericho, and her best friend, Candace, Ever wants to bring together kids from their school who have suffered trauma so they can share their stories and begin to heal.
2. The second thing for this Thursday is a favorite quote of mine from bell hooks. I don’t think I really have to say much about bell. You can google her name and read about her on various research and informational sites and you’ll find out she was a writer with which to be reckoned. She had a way of placing words together that you typically wouldn’t see, but bell would make them work and WORK, they always did. I have three of her books in my collection and I intend to purchase more.
She died in December 2021, leaving quite a literary legacy behind.
I am not into AI like that, not really. I am actually afraid of what it can do and how far it will go.
My best friend, however, loves tinkering with the known-unknown, and she did a few entries of me in some AI app (don’t ask me cuz I do not know, 🤣😂😆). And the results are frightening yet intriguing, too.
I want to share a few here so you guys can see the results. There are also some toddler versions of my AI’d self as well.
Enjoy. Or, maybe don’t enjoy them. Either way, here they go:
