I decided to move forward by taking a humorous look back. Mothers and Facebook what do they have in common? Well they both have the potential to remind you of phases of your life you'd rather not reflect on (like the time when you had a jheri curl, or when you were a 98 pound weakling or when you wore glasses).

Both Facebook and Mothers also have a way of making you feel good. Reconnecting with who you were helps you to have some perspective about who you are and it is very valuable indeed.

I'm not gonna bore you all with stories of my childhood or high school years, but I will share two pictures that I recently came into contact with. The double exposure shot was on proud display at my Mother's place during Xmas and the high school photo is courtesy of my old classmate and current home girl Yvonne Napier who has her own blog coming soon. It's a shot of me and my homey Leon who passed away quite some time ago (I miss you homey).

It's ok for you to laugh at me. I got a kick out of doing it myself. Special shout out to my departed Uncle Leonard who taught me a lot about style and who helped me pick out the Velvet blazer I was wearing in the shot. Believe it or not it WAS stylish at the time...lol.
