What color do you feel most comfortable wearing?

Bright Bold Vivid Colors like Red, Orange and Purples

What is your favorite type of dog? (can be anything from a specific breed, a stuffed animal or character in a movie)

Beagles. Like Snoopy. When I was a little girl I had a Beagle named Dolly to whom I told all my troubles since I was bullied in school and always getting beat up. I Loved Dolly very much.

List at least five favorite flowers or plants.

Roses (My Mom’s Favorite)

Tulips

Sunflowers

Dandelions (I suppose these are considered weeds but I like them)

Cacti

Basically any type of flower or plant my room-mate plants in the backyard or that I can find in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden!

What would constitute a “perfect” day for you?

Spending time at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden or at the Beach nearest me which is Coney Island and walking through Central Park taking in the sights and watch folks enjoying life.

Complete this sentence: My favorite place in the whole world…..

Can’t name just one. I Love the Brooklyn Museum, The Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Coney Island plus Central Park.

What inspired you this past week? Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination.

I find the architecture, stores and restaurants located in the neighborhood where I work to be fascinating. Also since I get off work at 12:30 am at night I get the opportunity to explore Night Photography. I like the way the street lights reflect and glow plus the whole ambiance of taking pictures at night. A whole different vibe.

The seven yes 7 day work challenge. My motivation. That stack of bills that needs to be paid. Ignore all Life hacks, Life Coaches and Day dreamers. Be realistic. At heart I am a practical person.

Even with working pretty much non-stop I still make time to take photos.

When you leave a room, do you turn the lights off behind you or keep the lights on throughout your house most of the time?

Usually I turn the lights off unless I’m going back into that room.

What do you feel is the most enjoyable way to spend $500?

#1 ~ My brother Stephen

#2 ~ Me. I rarely have any extra money to spend on myself even for my basic needs much less the much touted Self-Care that everyone blogs about. I’m working class so what little money I make usually goes towards bills.

Complete this sentence: My favorite thing to do on my cell phone is…

Read my email and write blog posts. WordPress has an App for Android cell phones.

What inspired you this past week? Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination.

My vacation. Going to the beach at Coney Island and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. I Welcome any opportunity to get out into Nature. I just really really wish I could spend more time in Nature. Just being outdoors helps me a lot but I gotta work and earn those coins so until next year 2018 farewell to the Great Outdoors!

Good morning everyone. I thought I would switch things up a bit on Share Your World. I will still be asking four questions, but the fourth question will be the same each week. The last question will be about anything that inspires you.

What was the last URL that you bookmarked or saved?

An Annual Compendium of Black Photography that Was a Revolutionary Act

In 1973, a small band of black artists published the Black Photographers Annual, Volume I, a book that changed the history of photography in America.

An Annual Compendium of Black Photography that Was a Revolutionary Act

Do you believe in the afterlife? Reincarnation?

Yes. Whether it is Heaven or Reincarnation I don’t know. As my Aunt Gladys told me once, Nobody has come back from the dead to tell us! And I mean dead for several days! As a Christian I believe in Heaven. I want to see my family again. I want to be reunited with my Loved Ones who have Gone onto Glory. I would not want to be reincarnated because who in their right mind wants to return to this horrible world called Earth!

If you were or are a writer do you prefer writing short stories, poems or novels?

Poems. My specialty is Poetry. I have dabbled in short stories but I suck at character development, story lines, etc… It’s best I stick with Poetry.

What inspired you this past week? Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination.

My brother Stephen Palmer. I am on vacation so we spent time together this past weekend. Friday we rocked out to the music of the late great Robert Palmer. He goes back to his Group Home Residence today. Here is a video of a walk we took through Mt. Prospect Park yesterday Sunday. Stephen was enjoying some chocolate flavored popcorn thus the popcorn lips.

If a movie was made based on your life, what actor/actress would play you?

Jada Pinkett Smith. She is a petite Black Woman like me. Eartha Kitt if she was still living. Love her Cat Vibes. Also both women are Fierce and Feisty like me.

If you could be famous for one thing, what would it be?

Controversy. Stirring up mix. Outspoken with No filters. Blunt. Straight. No Chaser. No wait, I’m already famous for that. Guess I met the requirement.

I am the 21st Century version of the Warrior Goddess Judge DeBorah whose story is in the Bible book of Judges Chapters Four and Five.

List some of your favorites types of teas.

Green tea. Yerba Mate. Moroccan Mint Tea.

If you had to describe your day as a traffic sign, what would it be?

A Work day is Slow or Yield. A traffic sign that describes my life is Detour.

What are a couple of things could people do for you on a really bad day that would really help you?

Buy me lunch or dinner!! Take me to a Beauty/Health Spa. A trip to the beach.

Irregardless of your physical fitness, coordination or agility: If you could be an athlete what would do do? Remember this is SYW, dreaming is always allowed.

I would be like my fictional character and alter ego the Nubian Ninja! I do admire Venus and Serena Williams. Also Misty Copeland.

Optional Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

Always Glad for weekends. Those two days I have a little Me-time. Work days are devoted to my job. I was supposed to go out Friday but due to the extreme heat I elected to stay near home. I did go outside in the backyard. I look forward to next weekend, vacation in August and retiring next year. Basically when you work full-time you spend most of your time commuting to and from work. Then when you’re off you still have to do laundry, clean house and grocery shopping. You exchange on job for another. Then back to sleep. I’m so exhausted by the time the weekend comes so I usually wind up cancelling any plans I made to go somewhere. I made that one exception for Curlfest. It always astonishes me that people have energy to travel engage in hobbies. I’m preparing an art project and only force of will power will help me get it done even though it is something I want to do.

What is your favorite cheese?

I suppose Cheddar or American Cheese. I enjoy a great many types of cheese but as it contains high amounts of salt I must limit my intake. Bad for those of us with high blood pressure.

Are you left or right handed?

I am right handed. Stephen is left handed.

Do you prefer exercising your mind or your body? How frequently do you do either?

Both. I exercise my mind by watching educational videos on YouTube, reading and of course since I work in a museum viewing artworks on a daily basis. Thanks to the NYC MTA and the poor bus and subway service I have the opportunity several times a week for unscheduled exercise after being let off the subway train 10+ blocks away from my intended destination.

Complete this sentence: Hot days are …THE BEST!!!! I LOVE Hot Weather. My skin, hair, nails and mood improve and brighten up. My hair grows faster and my skin does not suffer from those horrible winter rashes. Summer is my Favorite Season!! I get more done and can spend more time outside in hot weather as opposed to cold weather. Also I can wear my lovely summer dresses!

As long as the temps don’t go over 90 degrees. 100 degrees is not only uncomfortable but dangerous. I drink lots of water. Give me 70 and 85 degree days all year long! They are the best.

Optional Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

Making phone calls to my various elected officials to alert them to vote against trumpcare, keep Medicaid and improve services and programs for adults with Autism. By calling my various Congresspersons, Senators, Reps I hope to get funding restored for the programs and services eliminated due to budget cuts. Always wearing my Autism Advocate hat. I am an Autism Activist!!

Also I had lots of fun at Curlfest on Sunday. Even though it was a really hot day in the park I spent lots of time dancing and having fun!

Looking forward to my vacation in August.
