I'm geeked!
Yesterday I went in to Walgreen's to shop and discovered that 2 of my articles had been published in March's edition of TODAY'S BLACK WOMAN MAGAZINE!
I also got an acceptance from Writing for Dollars for a piece of mine to appear in an upcoming issue as well!
ON THE HOME FRONT---OH HAPPY DAY!
I bought a new kitchen table, the 1st in more than a decade! It is gorgeous. I can't believe that it took so long to take the plunge. Actually, the purchase was the result of my son breaking the chair to my previous set.
It's great how good can come from bad! Now I'm motivated to improve some more stuff around the house. Of course it goes without saying that March/spring will bring about gutter repairs, painting, yard work, etc.
I'll try to get a jump start this year.
PEACE!

DR. SCOTT AND WENDY SHOW!
Wow! What a blast!
I was contacted a few weeks ago by the "DR. SCOTT AND WENDY" Internet radio show for an interview regarding my weekly column, "JENNIFER'S GEMS".
It lasted about 30 minutes or so, and touched upon celibacy, dutch dating, and other topics related to dating and mating.
It was my 3rd radio interview thus far, and it's been really cool breaking into another medium.
And hopefully, I'm getting into the swing of things with each one!
...Can't wait to see where new horizons will take me!
Hope you'll join me.

EVERYTHING'S COMING UP ROSES!
February is becoming a month that I'm loving!
To date, this is what I'm digging:
MY NEW BOOK (As a contributing author) "GRAB YOUR TIGER" is available online through www.grabyourtiger.com
I JUST RECEIVED A CHECK FOR OVER $500.00 FROM ONE OF MY CLIENTS!
I JUST SIGNED AN AGREEMENT TO HAVE 2 PIECES PUBLISHED IN TODAY'S BLACK WOMAN MAGAZINE.
I JUST SOLD 3 ARTICLES TO A REGIONAL PUBLICATION IN TENNESSEE.
I RECEIVED A REQUEST TO APPEAR ON THE DR. SCOTT AND WENDY SHOW.
AT THIS RATE, 2007 COULD BE MY BIGGEST YEAR EVER!

SIMON SAYS... AND ROSIE RANTS!
Rejection is a part of life. As a professional writer for more than a decade, this is something with which I am intimately familiar.
I have been rejected by some of the best and worst publications possible---ESSENCE, NEWSWEEK, WOMAN'S DAY, and more.
As a creative artist, I know oh too well that it comes with the territory!
You pick yourself up and keep on going.
In fact, some editors and publishers have been so harsh in their criticism, that if I had not been confident in my ability and thick-skinned I would have folded under the pressure!
But my persistence paid off. Years later, I can now boast a portfolio that some would envy.
With that being said, I can't quite figure out why all the hoopla surrounding Simon Cowell, Rosie, American Idol and the contestants.
Granted, his words could perhaps be a little more tactful, but Simon's caustic comments are considered as entertaining as the "talent" by some of the millions of viewers.
As the expression goes, "If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen."
That's my 2 cents!
