Almost got through three non-fiction books this month. Cutting back on social media has definitely been worth it. More balance. Better life experience.

Shopify merchants are now able to sell directly through ChatGPT. Wow. There is just so much happening so fast.

I say this often: if you can get solar on your home, do it. Energy prices will continue to soar. Greedy utilities will keep stacking public commissions to push through rate increases.

Can't believe I randomly watched an hour and a half YouTube video on foot health the other day. 😂 I'm about to change my sneakers because these are not the same feet I used to run around barefoot on.

Launched my refreshed author site. This was LONG overdue! The trickiest part was figuring out how to showcase 20+ years of work, but I got it. Through paths. Because my work literally grew up with me.

I've never heard of this kind of solar power, but it sounds intriguing.

Column | Can’t put solar panels on your roof? Plug-in ‘balcony solar’ may be for you.
Balcony solar promises to cut energy costs and grid reliance for renters and apartment-dwellers. I did a trial run at my home.

It's always a trip to not feel a book and see it rated 5 stars on Goodreads...vice versa, too... to LOVE a book and see it rated 3 stars. Reading is so subjective. 😂 #booksky

I can't stand alarm clocks. They're a violent way to wake up. I find leaving the blinds partially open and waking up with the sun much more peaceful and efficient.

Black authors’ houses are historically hard to preserve. Here’s why (plus, a few to visit).
In a recent report for The Guardian, the author Nneka M. Okona described the pull of historic literary sites. “I wanted to see more homes of the Black literary forefathers and foremothers, th…
