Obama vs. McCain
In this election, WE REALLY HAVE TO GET IT RIGHT. We have to get the point of our decision, because the consequences and the stakes are higher than ever before. This may sound like spin, but I will spend the remaining days of this campaign unraveling the choices for myself and those who join me in this dialog.

Beverly Mahone
I am wife, mother and grandmother who decided to leave Corporate America after more than 25 years (in radio/television news) to pursue my passions. I decided it was time to step out on faith and pursue my desire to become a published author. In June 2006, my debut non-fiction book, Whatever! A Baby Boomer’s Journey Into Middle Age was published. The book takes a look at issues affecting baby boomer women, including menopause, dating after 40, raising children, midlife employment issues and aging gracefully.

 

Pittershawn Palmer Pittershawn Palmer
I am a writer. But I am human first. I am a female, a woman, a spiritual soul who goes beyond all this world has said I should. Writing is my profession and only one dimension of me, a multi-dimensional creature with various thoughts and beliefs that transcend me, the writer-a small part of the goddess I am and will always be.

African Americans Are Spellbound. Mental enslavement is the act of blindly and deceitfully maneuvering a person into servitude while that person believes he/she is thinking for him/herself. In realizing that one is mentally enslaved, one can begin to constructively take strides toward freeing their mind from the shackles and re-building a solid, intelligible, unshackled, independent mind state.
