Time Will Tell

I am at a crossroads in my professional life and I am mentally working tirelessly to not let it affect my personal life, which for the first time in too many years is making me happy.

I need a job change, but there are a few roadblocks (not bloggable at this time) preventing me from just jumping ship and moving on so I need some creative attempts to break out of the j-o-b situation. I saw a couple of articles on Yahoo! that people can make money from blogs. I have long thought that blogging would be an excellent outlet for me to express all of my frustrations with the world and spread the joy virus that is my belief that we can effect change, but more on that part later.

Therefore, this is the first blog to see, before I put money into it, which I may do a nominal amount to help me commit all the more, to see if I can do this, continuing building a personal future, try to keep my head afloat at work just slightly, and build a path out.

I intend to use this blog as a means to expressing thoughts on the world and me. It will appear minimally twice a week to start: Wednesdays and Sundays. A Tuesday launch for this new Wednesday/ Sunday publication is perfect since I am sure there will be more idiosyncratic morsels to come. A reader of this blog will be forced to think about me, the world, and her or his own body and soul. Future topics will be feminism in 2010 as embodied by others and me; hate; education; sexual health; Detroit; sisterhood; relationships; and pets, to name a few, but as the older set used to say, "the world is my oyster" so there is no telling where this blog will go.

I know me and I know that most of the posts will be lengthy but to maintain the commitment, I will post short essays as well.

Stay tuned world wide web (do they say that any more?) and see what Deena, The First Sister in Detroit does.
