Yep, I'm basically going to tell you every time a write-up that I contribute to The Maria Antoinette goes live. Because of my enduring love for your support of my writing efforts. And because this self-promotion-as-a-writer thing (which we will discuss later) is a new goal of mine, and unlike my goal to avoid bread, …

If you've been here for a while or recently stopped by to take a look at my little corner of the Internet, you know that I am Ghana-born, partially Ghana-raised, birthed by a Ghanaian woman and man, product of Ghanaian ancestry. Honestly, I've never wondered if there was anything else in my blood. I just …
Confetti Explosions and Things of that Nature.
It's official. Like really official. I've been sitting on this news for a while until it was official official. And now... ... I was chosen as a guest contributor for The Maria Antoinette, a beauty/hair/lifestyle/fashion website. !!!! That in itself was amazing to be chosen. But even better? My first contribution to the site is …

connecting…
And while the wires and strings and synapses connect, sometimes blogging and writing and This Square Pegging fall by the wayside. Nevertheless, I'm here now, dear reader. Well, I've always been here--but life and changes and connecting made it a bit harder to remember to talk about the process with you. This platform wasn't far …
Blogvember #30: The Final Day.
Well, dears, today ends 30 days of Blogvembering. Went by pretty fast, no? I enjoyed every minute of it, even those moments when I was about to drift off into sleep and recalled with panic that I forgot to blog. And I admit to cheating when those times happened by combining days, but a blog …
Blogvember #12 and #13: Le Weekend.
#12: That quote to the left about sums it up. Our sense of humor. Our laughter. Our love. (Because, yeah, I'd traipse through a fire and/or super humid room for her, fro or no.) Those times when la bestie utters words that change my life. My goals to always be there for her. She arrived …
Blogvember #11: Friyay.
My bestie is coming to town this evening, you guys. The bestie! Needless to say, I basically want to tap dance out of here so we can start our fun. And yet morning just began, so...Anyway, she's my first visitor since I moved to Texas. Wonder how she'll react to the absence of furniture. Bon …
306.
No, not the number of tears I've cried. I'm actually doing much better here in the Lone Star State! We'll get to the specifics in tomorrow's post, but for now, I'd like to acknowledge that number. 306 is the number of people currently following the adventures and antics of This Square Peg! It was official yesterday. That …

Yes, I moved. Yes, I hitched up my lady pantaloons and made the decision to start over with new people, new new places, and new things. Yes, I wept when leaving my mother, my brothers, and my sister. Yes, I continued to weep on and off days after arriving in the Dallas area (specifically Carrollton) and …
Odes.
As the days dwindle down and my time in this metropolitan area rapidly passes me by (funny how time never flew when I had no plans to leave; a.k.a., life), I was reflecting on a few things that I will actually miss about living/working in this area. (Positivity, right?) Walk with me. Somewheres, VA, where …
