In light of a discussion that started on this blog a few posts ago, I would like to ask any folks who live in Maine who are either non-white or who hail from working class or even more humbler roots to consider doing a guest post here at Black Girl in Maine. One of the reasons I started this blog …
In case you are interested in the follow up to my last post, I am posting the column that was accepted by my editor…which has spawned a conversation with my editor and a meeting for next week. I will keep you posted on whether or not, I will keep writing professionally since its really just a side thing I do …
If you are sensitive to discussions about race, do me and you a favor and just skip this post…I am talking race today and it might start feeling a smidge uncomfortable. What you are about to read is a column I wrote for a local publication that was rejected by my editor on the basis that maybe when I am …
Just zooming by for a quick post…summer has finally arrived for more than a day up here in Maine and I want to embrace it since knowing Maine weather, if I blink it will be gone. However since coming home this afternoon and while I am enjoying a bit of downtime before we all come together as a family, I …

Obviously I had no plans to be blogging this weekend but this morning when I was making the rounds in cyberspace, I stumbled across a discussion that I just had to write about.

You may have noticed I have been slacking on new posts this week…just wanted to say all is good up here in Maine. Yeah, the weather has been crap lately (in the month of June, we only had 9 non-rainy days) and yes we did have that fellow I wrote about who decided killing a couple of young cats would …
I’m feeling a tad down today, just got back from my Weight Watchers weigh in only to discover that I had not done as well as I thought I had in the past week with reigning in my eating habits. I am a lifetime member of Weight Watchers, I have now successfully kept off the almost 50 pounds I lost …
I’m home early from work today and the little one is still at daycare (I need a moment…don’t even go there) so I am flipping through the telly. A simple thing I don’t get to do often since either I am required to play with girl child or else she requires use of the telly. So I park over at …

Perhaps if you need to kill some time or have a quiet moment you can check them out. http://ravingblacklunatic.blogspot.com/ Check out this cat, I have been a fan of his work forever. http://www.whataboutourdaughters.com/ Good stuff here as well http://sweetersalt.com/ A Maine blogger who talks fashion and food…the best of both worlds http://paganchild-starmommy.blogspot.com/2011/03/keeping-focused.html A new blog that offers words of wisdom for all of us. http://mscleaver.com/ Another Mainer who for Lent is giving up pants, she is also a crafty gal If you have any links to good blogs, feel free to leave em. It’s my hope to make the Friday Round Up a regular feature at my new home specifically I would live to shine some light and love on smaller bloggers.
