Author Spotlight & List of Must Reads

Friday afternoons are when I love to escape and spend time with myself.  I always find myself in the place I feel most comfortable and at home, a bookstore.  As I was going through the endless aisles of books in Chapters, one jumped out at me, ‘The Book of Night Women’ by Marlon James.  So we’ll start there…

Hello Kitty, It’s Nice To See You Again

Today I drove down to Whyte Ave, parked my car, fed the meter, and headed into the Perusia Spa (clean, quiet, and friendly employees).  I did not turn back, I did not listen to my intuition nor did I give in to my fear.

In The Upcoming Week

Hello my darlings, just doing a post to let you all know what’s happening in Nikk’s world this week…

Damn It Leo!

*Sigh* Have you ever met someone and immediately sparks started to fly?  You get that nervous feeling in the pit of your stomach, you aren’t sure if you have to use the bathroom because of the regular milk you took in your latte that you knew you shouldn’t have had because you’re lactose intolerant or if it’s the proverbial “butterflies”?!

A Series of Unfortunate Events

So instead of doing another list of random rants, I thought I’d do a bunch of mini blogs combined into one.  They’re random thoughts that I wanted to elaborate on.  So here we go…

Perverts, Memories, & Random Thoughts

Declined, Cleanup on Aisle 5

Today as I cruised the aisles of Walmart in search of the perfect tin of Milo, I had the strangest sensation of being watched.  I looked up from my grocery list and down the isle, low and behold, I was right.  There stood this creepy little Black man hiding behind a shelf, then peaking, then hiding, and so I rolled my eyes and put four aisles between us.  I continued my search for the Milo and felt pretty confident I’d lost him until I heard:

Yours Truly Pt. V: Me First

Dear Dr. Scum Bucket,

Hate is a feeling people tell me not to keep in my heart.  It’s equated to poison and I can see why.  Ever so often, I get this immense anger inside when my mind comes across you.

365 Black: I’d Just Love To…

I believe there are certain careers that one shouldn’t go into for the sake of a cheque.  If you aren’t genuinely interested in the well being of people and/or aren’t human enough to care for people of all races then please stay out of our hospitals, social service systems, and most of all our classrooms.

Yours Truly Pt. IV: This Little Light of Mine

‘Yours Truly’ has been brought to you courtesy of the ever deLIGHTful Sunny D of Spoken Word. What I truly admire about Ms. Sunny D is that you can tell she writes from her heart and gives you 110%.  I also admire the fact that she’s a great a mother (obvious from certain blog posts) who’s raising a smart and beautiful child.  A child that will one day grow up to know her mama is her bestfriend and she can go to her for anything life throws her way.  Go check her out, you won’t be disappointed and as always, please feel free to comment and give your advice.  The floor is yours Sunny…
