Dark Girl Documentary

Hello Readers,
 
My blog for today is that I would like all of you to simply take time to watch a preview of an upcoming documentary. Here is the link:

It's incredibly powerful. I could see myself and hear my story through all of these women.

Monday Madness Has Me Considering Tanning Beds

I'm referring to today as "Monday Madness," because of all the rain we are getting here in the Midwest. I remember how I used to hide from the sunnow I bask in it. Last week I mentioned I was on a cruise, but failed to mention the super dark tan I got while I was there. Well, now I am starting to peel and would not mind going to a tanning bed to regain that luscious deep bronze look I had. Would anyone of you go to a tanning salon, or have any of you ever been?

Enlightening Cruise

Hello Blog Readers,
I have been away on a much needed vacation. I took a seven-day cruise and visited many different places. It was interesting to sit back and watch different people on the ship and on the islands. I was with my husband and children, but was surprised to find that two black men continued to hit on me whenever they saw me alone. First off, I have to admit it was very flattering because they were indeed gorgeous and had perfect physiques to boot! I also have to admit that I was surprised to see that they were hitting on a few other sexy chocolate sisters I had seen on the ship. They seemed to be there with a family reunion group, though I didn't ask them too many questions, because I'm married and didn't want to show too much interest. During our brief conversation, we talked about my observations of Puerto Rico. I had not been there in 20 years and found there were many changes.
I loved the way the Puerto Rican people seemed to embrace everyone. They showed no distinction between darker or lighter people; everyone just seemed to show respect and love toward the tourists, as well as each other. I make it a point to closely observe this type of thing in different settings because it interests me so much. Also, I saw a lot of interracial couples on the ship, and most were black women with white men. This seems to be more and more prevalent than in the past. It was a very interesting cruise. 

I realize I have touched on several topics in this blog post. Let me know your thoughts on any topic I've brought up, and also let me know if you have cruised before and if you like it. Make this a great Monday!
