Song Of The Month – February 2021 – Brown Skin by India.Arie

LINK TO THE VIDEO Along with the addition of Brown Skin here, I may have included India.Arie in this list a few time before (maybe a time or two or three before). I guess it goes to show what uplifting music she makes, in particular, how good an album Acoustic Soul was and is.

Song Of The Month – September 2017 – I Am Not My Hair by India.Arie

My 1000 Word Project #2

I felt so positive after sharing my last 1000 words and was completely serious about doing it on a regular basis so here I go again. I was tempted to carry the story on from last time but I just wasn’t quite feeling it so I’ve started again. As you may notice, I have a thing about the more sci-fi, fantasy type story. Who doesn’t love a bit of The Hunger Games as jolly bedtime reading? It does feel a bit rushed to me but it also doesn’t take a long time to write a thousand words. I’ve found giving…
