Excuse Me, Are You Listening?

 

I absolutely love the library.  Every chance I get I visit one.  I love picking up the papers that tell me about what it going on, the various newspapers and watching people read.  I find it most interesting to watch the differences between the magazine readers and the book readers. 

Dear Readers,

Dear Readers,

 

In this edition,  we start our 14th year.  It has been really amazing thus far.  We are having a celebration in conjunction with the Lansing Black Chamber of Commerce at their February mixer on Thursday, February 12th from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the Plant Professionals.  They are located at 16886 Turner Street, Lansing, MI 48906.  Please RSVP to reshane_lonzo@yahoo.com before February 7, 2015.  The place is beautiful!

Thanksgiving, Christmas and the holidays are the perfect time to plan dinners and try new recipes.  This holiday season, I can truthfully say that I am somewhat unprepared.  

 

It has been an interesting two weeks.  I am on a cleaning splurge.  Happy new new year.  I plan on having my paper hoarding in order.  I did the kind of cleaning that makes more of a mess first.  It was the best type of cleaning.  It is even better when you use your shredder so much that it overheats. It is wonderful when you get to take trash to the dump and recycle items that can be. 

 

As adults, we may get caught in a rut of doing the same things over and over.  When that happens our children and others around us get caught in the same rut.  If you have not noticed we have been printing stories about travel.  Some places are as far away as China and others are close like Royal Oak, MI.  We have a responsibility to ourselves and those around us to encourage travel and broadening of the mind.

 

There is a lot going on in the world. These are very complicated and challenging times and may be depressing for many.  Mental illness and depression are serious business.
