I have to admit, I started the first 2 or 3 waking hours of 2009 sorta in the dumps. I hear so many heart wrenching stories in my profession that when you couple that with the bleak forecast for 2009 and beyond, it can be overwhelming.
Eager to change that negative course, I got dressed and [...]

Today, I want each and every one of you to promise me that you will pay attention to your bodies and listen to the signs it gives when things are not going right. Stop taking 6 Tylenols a day, talking about you are doing okay. That is not normal. Let me repeat: THAT IS NOT [...]

It’s Not Easy Being Green – From “The Sesame Street Book and Record”
It’s not that easy being green;
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves.
When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow or gold…

As, I type this, I am literally fighting back tears. I am so proud of Barack and all of those who forged the trail that lead him to this day: the day a black man became the Democratic nominee for president.
For the last 3 days, I have been suffering with a sore throat (I diagnosed [...]

As soon as I opened my car door, the phone rang. I can still hear the words, Where are you, baby? I knew something was wrong. I just didn’t know that it was something that couldn’t be fixed.
Death came for a dear friend and fellow attorney today. He was at [...]

Tomorrow. I am totally uneasy with this trip. I was asked to go, was kinda feeling it at first and then changed my mind. But, I was all scared and allowed the “reasonable time frame in which to cancel” to expire. I just couldn’t disappoint. Now, I’m all disappointed. [...]
