Feels like home…


I know this neighborhood, it’s where I grew up, laughed, cried, shared my dreams. It’s been nearly five years and I’ve seen a lot of people come and go and yet, it is still home. When a blogger leaves, and returns, I’ve got the same address, so I am happy when they find me again.

I’ve been traveling down these mean streets for years, and even with old friends and new neighbors, the atmosphere, the love remains the same.

When I want some inspirational healing, I check out SLC or Tia’s Real Talk blog. When I want the raw deal in news, I check out my blog brother, Rawdawg Buffalo. When I want to hear what the young people are thinking, I check out Cami, or Dessex, or On1Grad. When I want to get down with my homy, I check out 12kyle. When I want my stuff real with that intellectual swagger, I check out Rich’s House. When I want to reminisce and feel that old world connection from someone who knows I check out Keith’s Place. When I want feel like I’m not in this thing alone and get some real down home messages about life and love I check out my sisters Lovebaz, BluJewel, Curvygirl and Capcity. When I want to be soothed by love and pain, I check out Green and Moanerplicity. I used to get my erotica from Kiki and Lea but both of them stopped blogging…come back. When I want to get my laugh on, I check out my blog brother Cortney Gee. When I want to be tantalized, teased and informed, I check out Don. When I want to be in the company of the highly intellectual but with a touch of eccentric…I hang out at Carey/Carey’s place and when I want my entertainment uncensored and real, I check out Eb the Celeb, NicoleBitchie and Yaz’s house. I have so many places in my neighborhood to visit, so many delights and enlightment, like when I visit Jackie Edwards, SEVEN , Hunnie or CLNMIKE . I have places that leave me laughing and astounded, like visiting Dejanade. And now, I have some new places to go that bring me joy, like hanging out at A free Spirited Butterfly’s place, or Dani’s spot, Eclectic Concepts, LoudPen or StrongBlackwomen’s spot and KIT’s as well as Rippa and Black Folks Don’t Swim. And who can better give you a great recipe then Darius, or Anali’s…. What I’m trying to tell you folks is that our neighborhood is filled with the best of the best, the versatile, the stylish, the spiritual, the funny, the real and the raw…and this is our community.


That’s why fam…no matter where I go, or whom I visit…you all will always be my Homies!

Ain’t no place like home…

Peace!
