THE EMOTIONAL WOMAN

Wishing you a lovely day filled with joy, laughter and fond memories. ~J.R. Randle

Incidents Revealed, happens to be one of my favorite literary projects. I started writing about the unusual life of Karmyn Washington and her family, over three years ago, while living in Ferndale, MI. This fabulous, funky and special location holds a dear place in my heart. Somehow I came alive, opened up and became feverish with new ideas, unique characters and unsettling story lines. Which brings me to Intervene, Ohio ... and the Washington Red-brick. I hope you enjoy the Sneak Peek of Incidents Revealed. ~ J.R. Randle  Auntie Nettie, stood tall with her long legs the color of copper pennies. She had a smile that lasted a lifetime, and a shape that curved the way Blue Bird Drive had. My Auntie Nettie kept her hair in curls, where as; my Alma wore her’s long and straight. James Sr. said that when Alma and Auntie Nettie were in their teens they looked almost identical. You could barely tell them apart, then after I’d come along Alma gained a small ...

On the eve of my 37th birthday, I find myself thinking of Year 36.  Have I accomplished all that I desired? Am I happier this year than the last?  Have I inspired others to follow their passions as difficult as it may seem? During Year 36 ...have I given back to the world in the amount that I believed?  Have I lived the very best life that God has to offer ...an unlimited abundance of bliss, prosperity, opportunity and love?  Have I explored new continents, embraced unique people or relocated to an unimaginable location thousands of miles outside of my comfort?  No  {I have so much more to accomplish} Yes {I am thankful to be alive} Hopefully  Yes  {Although I expect to give more in Year 37} No  {Although I expect to live more in Year 37} No ...Yes ...Partially  Good Bye, Sweet Year 36  My time with you has definitely been adventurous!  Excited, I await Magnificent ...

©Core Group Marketing Transported beyond my normal existence I find myself roaming free, exploring the world, my mind remaining clear.  Conceptualizing and visualizing this new world that I've become attached to ... where I now live and breathe. In movement, unable to permanently be grounded I've taken residence in NYC, Midtown to be exact. Today, I find myself positioned high up on the twenty-first floor. Embracing the city life from a writer's view: Consumed with various sounds ...pulsating, over-powering. Awakening my soul. Composing wishes with my words. I feel invigorated. Reborn. Writing from my pied a`terre window,  I've fallen in love with what surrounds me. These vivid images of inspiration I welcome within. The people ...the vehicles ...the food being sold. I will soon be returning to Detroit as I am only here temporarily. Transported beyond my normal existence- living the writer's life. In a dream-like state observing, creating ...st...

Without divulging any of his personal thoughts or secrets. My brother clearly expressed his disdain for how fast the seasons change. The deeper the conversation evolved the clearer it had become that my brother not only spoke of changing seasons but how sudden one's life can transform. A metamorphosis of experiences, memories and love, simply rearranging itself into one unusual cluster of brand newness. The strong, powerful relationships you once held close are now pieces of delicate petals left to scatter in the remembrance of your mind. The affection and fondness you treasured and shared has ...

Nobody heard him, the dead man, But still he lay moaning. I was much further out than you thought, and not waving but drowning. I was much too far out all my life, And not waving but drowning.~ Stevie Smith, Poet

It's being willing to walk away that gives you strength and power - if you're willing to accept the consequences of doing what you want to do.  ~Whoopie Goldberg
