Writing About Lives

My good friend Cupcake Brown, whose memoir “A Piece of Cake,” chronicled her journey through foster care, street gangs, drug addiction, alcoholism, prostitution to the world of corporate law at one of the nation’s biggest firms, has resigned.

In her own words:

“The decision to leave was completely mine. I left for several reasons. First, I’m taking a much needed break (last year’s book tour was brutal). Second, I wanted time to pursue other projects including doing more speaking, writing the script for the film version of APOC, and possibly writing another book. Third, and most important, God said “It’s time for a new season.” Remember ya’ll, change is good. So often, we tend to be afraid of change. However, when I look back over my life, it’s very evident that every change I made put me directly in line for a blessing. And, each blessing was better than the last. Furthermore, I know that the finger of God never points to where the hand of God cannot reach.”

All the best to you Cup!

Rowena,

You absolutely blew me away for my birthday with your generosity. In fact, you made the day. I figured I would just sit around, goof off on the Internet, take a few phone calls and eat Hagen Daaz. ( Caramel)

But the fried rice you made and
The birthday cake (carrot).
The Thai lunch you purchased.
The movie you treated me to. (The Borne Ultimatum)
The walk through Barnes & Noble.
The stroll around the Upper West Side.
All made a beautiful crescendo on this, my 41st birthday.

Much love,
–
Samuel

PS: I’m gonna have a little slice tonight – just to make sure it’s okay when you have your slice tomorrow.
