I imagine that if I were an alien who just landed on planet Earth and was stationed in the United States that I would find the people here very strange. For most of us our lives are spent at a frantic pace rushing to and fro, never stopping to smell the roses and live in the moment. We carry gadgets …
Greetings! As you can see we have a new look here at Black Girl in Maine. I have officially moved into my new space here on the interwebz. I am still working on putting it all together since I am quickly learning that the downside of no longer using a free WordPress account is that I need to get more …

My ex-husband had decided not to send my son back after a holiday visit and after several months of trying to work through the legalities of the situation, I couldn’t take anymore. I had to see my son, I didn’t know at …

As a modern woman I have always liked the idea that I could have it all…a family complete with kids, loving partner, work that fulfilled me, you get the picture. Yet in the past several days I have been grappling with a low level malaise and sudden realization that at least for me (I refuse to speak for anyone else) …
Warning I am in a pissy mood…so if you aren’t in a pissy mood, feel free to catch me some other day. I woke up Sunday morning, still reeling from the great relocate Dad to Maine project that ended abruptly and without resolution. After all my Dad leaving while it’s nice in the short run to have my house back …
This past week has been a fucking head trip…no, seriously. For readers that follow me on Twitter you know my world has been spinning off its fucking axis. Right now I am trying to just process everything but the short of it is that my Dad is back in Chicago. At some point I will do a post mortem on …
