Sheer Good Fortune with Toni Morrison in Radar Magazine

Hey all, my article about my voyage to Virginia Tech where I met and interviewed Toni Morrison and met Maya Angelou and Nikki Giovanni, was published in Radar Magazine in December 2012. As you may remember, I took the voyage with my literary sisters, Joneia P. Brown and Kimeko Farrar. If you'd like to read the entire magazine online, check it out at Radar Magazines.

For all you that would like to read just my article, here it is. Hope you enjoy!

In My Mailbox Monday & My Birthday!

I had a great weekend. It was my birthday! So my gift to myself was a pair of Jill Scott and Anthony Hamilton concert tickets. Everyone knows I love Jill Scott. I am more than a fan, I'm a fanatic. If I didn't have a family and stuff to do I'd be a stalker. So of course I nearly lost my mind when she sang all my favorite songs and I nearly fainted when Jill Scott shook my hand! Yes, my hand! So my right hand is now officially known as the Jill Scott hand. I am no longer right handed, I'm Jill Scott handed. My daughter bought me Jill Scott's latest cd, The Light of the Sun, and I've been playing it like crazy.

So that was my weekend. Also, I checked my mailbox and inside was a magazine called Radar Magazine. I leisurely flipped through it as I read page after page and lo and behold my photo was in the magazine under the women in business headline. Talk about surprised and elated. :-)

I also received a book for review by Wayne Zurl called A New Prospect.

Well that was my weekend. It was relaxing and enjoyable. No blogging, no kids, no writing, no nothing and I liked it! But today is Monday, so back to my regularly scheduled program. :-) It was good while it lasted.

What kind of great things did you do this weekend? Did you get any awesome books?
