Itinerate knitter and writer jabbers on about just about anything. This is my third adventure in blogging. I was "Ask Dr. Mimi" on the defunct Thriveonline.com several years ago. I also posted as "The Snap Diva Sings" on fraughtwithperil.com. Wrote about pediatric health questions on the former; Nichiren Buddhism on the latter. In the interim, I've been writing offline, mulling over submitting my work (mainly personal narrative and satire). I'm not sure where this blog will take me.

10 Things Every Black Woman Should Have- My List
This article came across my timeline today via @urbancusp, "10 Things Every Black Woman Should Have"- http://www.urbancusp.com/newspost/10-things-every-black-woman-should-have/
I tweeted my list earlier today. Here is my list:
10 Things Every Black Woman Should Have
1. A sense of self- self love is an important part of self worth
2. A sense of history- know your ancestors, your community and those not like you
3. A sense of time- stay in the present- learn from the past, don't give up on your future
4. A sense of laughter- find the joy and gratitude in each day
5. A sense of family- Be it family of origin or family of choice- get past the anger, the control and make peace
6. A sense of sistahhood, find commonality and spend less time pulling each other down
7. A sense of brothas- yup they are part of the sky; yes they are human and needed too:)
8. A sense of youth and children- as they are more than our future, they are also our present
9. A sense of value-it is not about the hair, the clothes you wear or the bling you sling- you are a pearl of immeasurable wealth
10.A sense of community and politics; vote, participate, demonstrate, be an agent of change, not just an agent of critique
What is on your list?
Triple snaps, front and center!

I would gift those ten senses to every woman I love, if I could. So glad to read you!
Finally, I think I may have found my community. You were recommended by a blogger, Claire Marie O'Brien,

Number 3 hit home and so did 5. Thank you for those reminders.
