1. Proud of My Heritage: Celebrating Black History With Music When my assignment asked for an inspirational song, I was having a problem with tagging just one song. I find encouragement in various types of music. Especially, depending on what I may need inspiration for. In example, different work projects... (posted by Ronyae 95 days 3 hours ago.)

2. The Introverted Extrovert I was asked a question if I was an innie or an outie ... and once I actually put thought to it, I came to the realization that I am BOTH! I do not know if that is possible, and how did I come to be both. But I do know now, after research, that I... (posted by Ronyae 102 days 5 hours ago.)

3. Celebrity Deaths Within a year's time, we have lost celebrities by untimely deaths. No matter the cause of death, their [celebrities] short-lived lives will always remain with their fans. A celebrity doesn't actually realize how much of their life means to other... (posted by Ronyae 104 days 23 hours ago.)

4. Be My Valentine? I enjoy celebrating, and especially any holiday or special event/time in history. I do not follow most commercial rituals for celebrating like going all out on certain shopping frantics, or cooking huge meals. But I do take pride in knowing that I...

5. Laying Low Through A Storm We've all heard it before, and especially when bad weather is approaching: Lay Low! The storm is coming! Well, metaphorically speaking, 'lay low' is what you must do when a storm enters your life. Be it financial, family, personal, or any other... (posted by Ronyae 111 days 2 hours ago.)

6. Relax ... A very small, five-letter word with such a huge action - relax! Sometimes I get so busy with day-to-day activities and responsibilities, I tend to forget how to relax. There was a time when I would turn to my writing as a form of relaxing. But... (posted by Ronyae 124 days 23 hours ago.)

7. Taking A Break ... And, A Breather! In the words of a 4-year old toddler when he has carried his own luggage up a flight of three steps, "Whewww!" Even though the toddler only had the three steps, and no more to travel, I have many more steps to climb - metaphorically speaking. I... (posted by Ronyae 153 days ago.)

8. Can Friendships Withstand Relationships? Love songs and movies have socially outlined a great romance in the form of two lovers starting out as childhood best friends. The young ‘friends’ share a childhood crush, but refuse to act on it simply because it wasn’t... (posted by Ronyae 261 days 23 hours ago.)

9. Block Tales: The Dirty Deed - Health Clinic Block Fair Shamera was excited about the Block Health Fair; today was the day she would learn how to work what was in the foil wrapper. She was so afraid, she couldn't even say the name of it. But, she knew it was the only thing standing in the way of... (posted by Ronyae 1 year 62 days ago.)

10. Block Tales: The Pregnant Man Jerri had lived on the block since he was 18 years old, as a female. Seemingly because at the time, Jerri didn’t associate with most of the neighborhood children of the same age, nobody noticed the change … until he arrived after...

11. Block Tales: Rubie and the Gunshots Rubie Tedor ducked her head farther under the covers as she counted the gunshots, and knew what area the shots were coming from. She may only be eight years old, but she knew all about hearing gunshots. Usually, multiple shots with the same sound... (posted by Ronyae 1 year 130 days ago.)

12. 7 Year Case Against Detroit Mayor ... He's "Not" Guilty! An alleged wild party, the mayor of Detroit, and a stripper going by the name of "Strawberry" [Tamara Greene]: it's a scandal all in itself, and the year was 2002. But the real scandal didn't actually happen around the time of the alleged [wild]... (posted by Ronyae 1 year 250 days ago.)

13. It's More Than One Way 2 Save the Cat! Pardon my term, but hey - I'm only 'Telling It Like It Is'! (smile). This article is for the awareness of females protecting themselves. Please be open-minded in wanting to help save lives, thanks. Now, enjoy the column: Female contraception has... (posted by Ronyae 1 year 253 days ago.)

14. My Favorite Vacation Spot My favorite vacation spot became a vacation spot, simply because it's the only spot where I can go to "get" a vacation ... and, of course, it's my favorite spot to be. All children - young and old - loves the comfort of being home. Not just any... (posted by Ronyae 1 year 297 days ago.)

15. You Gotta Give To Receive This summer, I shared the vacation time slot with the students, and believe me, if I can truly help it, I will not do it again. Don't get me wrong, I love the children. But children aren't children anymore - a definite, descriptive word to label... (posted by Ronyae 1 year 299 days ago.)

16. Road Rage Gone Wild It's almost hard to avoid - road rage, when another driver cuts you off, or does something to nearly cause an accident. But recently, we've had a rise in the number of incidents of 'Road Rage Gone Wild' in metro Detroit. Many victims falling to... (posted by Ronyae 2 years 32 days ago.)

17. Sharing Toilets I may have said it once before about the weird information I come in contact with, while on Writer's Block Bay. I'll say it again: I hear/read some very weird information, here on Writer's Block Bay. So weird, that I have to share it with others... (posted by Ronyae 2 years 46 days ago.)

18. American Made, Not Sold I'm all for equal opportunity. But, I feel a bit aggrevated when I want to support American made products, and the person behind the counter can barely speak English. As my uncle and I travelled through five states, I noticed every gas station... (posted by Ronyae 2 years 59 days ago.)

19. 2010 Census: Just Do It U.S. 2010 Census has created such a buzz among its required surveyors; incorrect mailing adresses, controversial race options are just a couple of recent complaints made by Americans. But these complaints, although a major issue to some, is just a... (posted by Ronyae 2 years 67 days ago.)

20. Black History: Reloaded Sitting around the fire barrel with a few sailors on Writer's Block Bay, I realized how our recent POTUS has emerged, and ranked nearly top of Black History Projects. I don't have anything against recognizing the accomplishment. Nor do I feel that... (posted by Ronyae 2 years 93 days ago.)

21. History Shared on Black History Holiday When I'm exiled to Writer's Block Bay, I generally find myself with more time for research.

22. Primary Bread Winner: The Lady of the House Sitting on the dock of Writer's Block Bay, puzzled by a recent emotional storm: my mate's financial status took a plunge at the same time my book sales, and publishing client list skyrocketed. I had seen the situations as divine; my good would... (posted by Ronyae 2 years 120 days ago.)

23. Excuse The Expressions: “Wow, We Have ‘White Folks’ in the ‘Hood” All of you know that I have a disclaimer, notice, and much more to state before we delve into this, right? I'm smiling with you all at this very moment, as you prepare yourself for what's going to follow a title wait, no, my title (well leave it... (posted by Ronyae 2 years 128 days ago.)

24. Unrelated Twins It was a strange shocker when Lori and I came across two people with the same names as a set of twins on Facebook. It wasn't unusual that the people shared the "same name"s. It was unusual how the two people weren't even related, and had the... (posted by Ronyae 2 years 137 days ago.)

25. My New Year's Resolution: No More Resolutions Even as a child, I never quite understood why a person waited until the new year to do things different in life; I made changes as they appeared to be needed in my life. And yes, even as a child. When I was 6 or 7 years old, I decided that I... (posted by Ronyae 2 years 151 days ago.)
