I was in the middle of writing my post for today when I got distracted. I was listening to my ipod and searching for some appropriate music when I heard Harvest for the World by the Isley Brothers. That is my serious Thanksgiving song! "Gather every man. Gather every woman. Celebrate your lives. Give thanks for your children. Gather everyone. Gather all together. Overlookin' none. Hoping life gets better for the world....When will there be a harvest for the world?!"
Anyway, I was listening and then decided to read other blogs and web pages to help my juices flow. I checked out my girls' blogs The Crones' Kitchen http://thecroneskitchen.blogspot.com/2007/11/what-heck-is-crone-and-whats-up-with.html and Living Out LOUD http://livingoutloudnow.blogspot.com/, as well as my brother-in-laws webpage http://www.fiyastarter.com/ (it's satire at it's best folks). Then I took a look at my namesake's webpage, Still Me - The Cool Mom's Guide to Staying Hip http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/artsandliving/features/2006/still-me/ (because I think I am still hip;). Well, I have to say...job well done (as usual)! You made me look good girl! Check out the article at this link http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/26/AR2007112601063.html.
Thanks Jill for reminding us to be thankful for what we have (loving and caring families) and who we are(strong, beautiful, intelligent, funny,...Black women). Make sure to always, always, always...continue traditions (they are soothing to the soul and good for your kids), put love into your cooking (it makes things taste so much better. i know people say they put in their toe, but it's really love), and remember to carve out some space in the kitchen (yeah mama kim) for the womenfolk!
Thanks Jill!
