I’ve noticed quite a few, “Top Posts of 2011″ and the like from writers in the blogging community.
I however have decided to choose from the much smaller collection from whence this blog began.
Why? Because I started out as an irregular, complete novice. Who still does not post everyday. However, come this year a whole lot of things are changing. The face of this site for one. Come February it’s going to be shiny and new, a hub for all that I do. More on that later.
This collection here? Is for me to share with those whom want to get to know me better, or those whom I really, really, like and want them to know me better. The awesome part about that is that it’s often a combo of the two.
It’s also a source of inspiration, for me – to come back to and meander over how I’ve evolved as a writer, found my voice and developed my mad blogging skillz. Because. Like I said. I plan on doing much more of this. In many ways. As an advocate, as a story-teller, as an ambassador and paid writer. But most importantly, for me and other women like me out there. Because the writing stuff? It heals. It empowers. It unites.
So. This curated list will be the first step into my second coming. A more frequent, constantly learning, embracing the everyday that is me. As a writer. Gone the name acronyms will be, it’s about to get straight-up – the edgy that is me, REAL in here.
Without further ado…to serve as reminder to me. Kicks in the pants to me and FYI’s for you. So pull up a chair. Pour yourself a glass of vino. (I’m publishing this in the eveing people, as I pour myself a glass). Dig in.

OMG, that is my perfect lunch…if only i had it infront of me now, i’d be in heaven…
It’s a mouthgasm…if you let food take over your senses like that. Mmmmmmm….
My fav dressing is
1 garlic glove crushed
3/4 Olive oil
1/4 Balsamic Vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard ( I like Maille Cognac Variety)
Couple dashes Worcestershire
And if I have it 1 tablespoon of FRESH thyme or basil finely minced
I put it in a food processor, but you could just use a whisk and crush the garlic with a fork.
Yes, yes. Mine was SIMPLE and FAST. You Amazonian twerp. You should guest blog regularly here. Seeing as how you are almost as good as me. Just like your man is almost as good as mine. Maille Cognac Variety Flavour Kisses! But really you throw down in the kitchen too sistah, and that dressing looks yum!
