I will be one of the featured presenters/poets at  the Black History event in celebration of Black Poetry: Call (Volume II):  A Literary Celebration, at Cellar Door Books, 5225 Canyon Crest Dr, Ste 30A/B, Riverside , CA..  I will read poems from my published collection of poems, "Confessions" (lnevitable Press) and my poems published in the anthology, "2012 Writing From Inlandia".  I will also discuss my latest publication in the soon to be released, "Street Lit: Popularity, and Analysis" (Scarecrow Press).  I will also discuss iconic African Americans within my family and whom I have had the pleasure to meet.  For more information about my latest projects and upcoming projects, I invite you to view my google+ profile which will give you links to my social media and webpages.  There are many things going right in the world today.  I invite everyone to help me to celebrate and show others how much beauty and creativity there is in the world that we are blessed to witness.

Fear of Being Alone

The fear of being alone can be devastating if you don't learn to love your own company. Even people in relationships can feel alone with a person lying in bed next to them. Stop expecting someone to come into your life and fulfill it, that's your job. They should be there to enhance it, not to be the reason you're alive! ~ Michael Baisden

Often times fear of being alone causes us to compromise our goals and values just to keep someone (anyone) near.  Discovering that you enjoy your own company is more empowering than most people can imagine.  Once you have learned to enjoy being in your own company, you will find yourself seeking the company of others who enhance your life and vice versa.  Self-fulfillment begins with building your own self-esteem and perspective of self-worth.
