When is Reality Too Real?

When is Reality Too Real?

Reality television has become one of the most popular forms of entertainment.  I’m starting to believe that I am the only person in America that is sick and tired of reality.  Don’t we watch television to escape the stresses of everyday life, which for many of us is real reality?  When [...]

A Woman’s Pain

A Woman’s Pain

As I laid on an operating table a few weeks ago, I was suddenly struck with feelings of anger, resentment and pain.  Why was I going through this? Yes, I chose to have a tubal procedure done, but I didn’t plan on suffering in pain.  I only chose to have no more children. Why is [...]

So What Is It That You Want?

So What Is It That You Want?

For both my personal and professional lives, I use social networking (i.e Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc) quite a bit.  During the course of my day, I’ll sign into my accounts to stay on top of my network, update my status or share important information.  One of the things that I also do is to address [...]

It’s interesting.  Yesterday, I had a conversation with [...]

How Transparent Is Mayor Bing’s Administration?

How Transparent Is Mayor Bing’s Administration?

Since Monica Conyers resigned her position from the Detroit city council, the fabled halls of the Coleman A. Young Building have been strangely quiet. There has been little noise from the office and city council’s offices, respectively, except for the firing of Police Chief Barren. It’s interesting how there was supposed to be this transparent [...]

Crumbling Infrastructure: Silent Warnings

While people think of safe borders as the biggest determinant of national security, perhaps the bigger one is a strong infrastructure. Should we forget this, then it will guarantee our downfall.
