Food for Thought (#4)

“[B]eing unstoppable is simply about taking the next step.” – Christine Kane

A year ago today, I published my first blog post (with no real idea what I was doing). A year later and I’m still blogging, still with no real idea what I’m doing *smile*, but with more discipline and a better idea of my blog’s personality.  

This blog is proof that moving forward is all about taking the next step.

A dear, dear friend of mine passed away last week. I don’t what to say about it or how to write about it. If I should write about it. (If I can write about it.)

But not writing about it here … well it’s like it didn’t happen, like she didn’t exist.

And she did.

We were friends for 15 years.

I love you, M.

“Being able to sing good ain’t all about having a good singing voice a’tall. A good singing voice helps. But when you come up in the Hard Shell Baptist church like I did you understand early that the fellow that sings is the singer. Them that waits for programs and arrangements and letters from home is just good voices occupying body space.”

— Alice Walker,
from the short story “Nineteen Fivety-five,”
in the collection You Can’t Keep a Good Woman Down
