The Intro

Greetings, everyone...I'm here with my first blog!

Believe it or not, I'm shy...

Here I am, a writer by profession, shy to say whats on my mind. But, that could be because of a number of reasons: 1. It's almost 3am and I'm hella sleepy; 2. I'm so sleepy I forgot the second reason; 3. oh, yeah, because this is my first blog!

It's still ironic. As much as I burn my friend's ears off about so many things, love, work, Islam, travel, literature, magazines, being 25, marriage, marriage, marriage...the words are like, nah, man, we aint leaving your head, we ain't going out there!

But, atleast let me explain my url name: well, 'Honey, I Love' is a book of poetry that I fell in love with as a child who practically lived in the library. The poetry expresses the democratic love that children often experience. The narrator's poetry reflects on things like, the softness of her mothers arm; trying on her mothers coat and purse and feeling so pretty; 'getting down' with the Earth Wind & Fire and the Jackson 5; jumping double dutch and rhyming to the beat of the rope hitting the ground, and many other things. I definely saw myself reflected in this book as a young girl; the narrator and I certinaly had the same musings and according to the illustrations in the book, we looked the same, too: earth toned complextion and a shiny black afro - she was me.

I'll be back, though. I have a feeling this is going to be fun...
