By Joy Lynn Clark 1/26/2023 I came up during the, “safe sex” era.  “Wear a condom” and, “stop the spread of HIV/AIDS”.  Unprotected sex freaks me out.  I am a single mother and I have been burnt before.  Ever since, I have vowed to never go through that kind of stress again.  The times that I did go raw dog and it didn’t work out, I worried all year long as I returned to the clinic for my pregnancy test and then HIV test.  Then six to eight months later I return for another HIV test just to be sure.  I got lucky this time.

By Joy Lynn Clark January 26, 2022 A couple of months ago I passed this guy on the street while driving and he signals me to pull over. I didn’t really think that his ride was all that but, when I caught a better glimpse he actually was hot. I was a little intrigued by his accent so we exchanged numbers. We talked for a while and texted by phone. This guy was a refreshing change from what I’ve been getting lately. I should’ve went out but, I thought this dude was kind of broke but I still liked him.

First off, I let go of my studio lease. I got tired of driving all the way to Louisville and, my studio was near this heating duct that was just ringing constantly. -the noise was getting into all of my half assed stuff that I made. Next, I chose to reach out to some of my old friends that I haven’t spoken to in a while. Thirdly, after crying my…

By Joy Lynn Clark April 21, 2021 I recently took a trip to Illinois for business and pleasure. I wanted to connect with family and friends and I also had a bit of work to do. I took a quick trip to Burr Oak to make sure that the head stone was raised. On my last visit to the cemetery one of the headstones was sinking into the ground. Everything was fine on that note, so I quickly left and sat to visit family and friends. I stayed at my dads house. He was cool. Next, I spent the day with my mom. She was cool too. Next I went…
