What were you doing one year ago today?

Posted on Mar 16th, 2009 by Jamilah : Creative Thinker Jamilah

Do you think more about the past or the future?

Posted on Sep 7th, 2008 by Jamilah : Creative Thinker Jamilah

Always the future. I'm looking ahead to the next book, the next road trip, the next daughter-in-law, the next graduation, the next grandchild. The past was nice, and fun to remember sometimes, but we can't... More »

What in your life might you like to finish?

Posted on Feb 19th, 2008 by Jamilah : Creative Thinker Jamilah

Right now my goals are modest. I need to finish organizing my bedroom. That may happen tomorrow, if the spirit moves me. More importantly, I want to finish my current novel. It's the fifth, and last,... More »
