INTRODUCTION

I know the title may sound like this is going to be Diary of Mad Black Woman part Deux….

But I’m not mad…or angry…or sad….. despite what CNN may be telling you about the state of single black women in America.

Like most young adults (black, white or other) I have looked at my life and said to myself: “Self?!!? What the heck happened?? We made plans….we followed the “rules”…..How come we ain’t in the sweet spot like THEY said we would be?? ARE YOU MFN KIDDING ME???”

Sweet spot equaling husband, house, flourishing career, fabulous friends, a bank account that knows no end, 2.5 kids and a kitten (don’t like dogs). Not to mention having Jesus on speed dial for answered prayers….

I just wanna be….I just wanna be…I just wanna be SUCCESSFUL…..

Yea Trey…I FN feel you too!!!

But I digress…..

Anyway….the more I looked at my life…the funnier it got. The funnier it got, the more I started thinking that maybe, just maybe, somebody else is going through the same thing. Love it or hate it….this blog is about life as I see it. I believe that there is a story being told, but none of the people telling it look like me. Soooooo…… I’mma tell my own story, my way, and YOU (folks out there in blog-land) are invited to watch, pray, help, cheer, boo and/or co-sign (whatever!) as I tell it. Hopefully you’ll find some of my encounters funny…..Hopefully you’ll find ALL of it encouraging in one way or another!
