My year is ending with me alive and still employed (thank
Goodness), my son alive and employed (thank Goodness), my dog doing more okay
than not, with a second Divorced Divas of Comedy show in the planning stages, and with this that I have yet to hold
in my hands. A slice of my life is
included in here. It’s a thin slice as
we were given strict word limits.
The Bronx Memoir Project vol. 1 is available on Nook and
Amazon. The slices in there span
generations and cultures, all culminating in the Bronx. I am proud to be included in it; I would’ve
felt regretful if I hadn’t submitted anything.
After struggling with the challenge to keep it short while still giving
a sense of my life and feeling very conscious of this being archived Bronx
history where I wanted to feel sure I wouldn’t regret my words, I was finally satisfied
with my submission.
On January 1, 2015 at the Nuyorican
Poets Café on East 3rd Street,
there’s a spoken word extravaganza that goes from 2pm to midnight and is
FREE. Anyone can come for any amount of time.
They appreciate if you donate a paperback for Books Behind Bars. There’s also a limited open mic throughout the
day amongst the 160 scheduled
performers (of which I am one). Each gets 3minutes. My 3 minutes will be somewhere between 4 and
6pm. This year, the event is titled, The Shadow of the Geode.
Please pass this along to people you know who would like the option to attend such an event to start off 2015.
Let’s aim to have an enjoyable, sharing, and productive year in all
the many ways we each do that.
Affectionately, Mindy
