'Lem be a Lady
Three people walk into a bar...No, this is not a set-up for some crude or racist joke, it is the start of my amazing Saturday night in Harlem! After a trying Friday, complete with one stressful dinner in which I made my first attempt to take both my 8 month old and my 2 year out to a nice restaurant with no help, a major leak in my building causing the fire department to come out, and thwarted plans for partying like a grownup, I needed some me time.
Dadurday was the perfect opportunity to explore and think and just see what the day brought. Well, I went down to Cedric to have an early dinner and think about my next destination and I met an interesting gentleman at the bar. I began talking to him and soon his female friend showed up and before you knew it, we were on our way to an amazing rooftop terrace. To make a long story short, we ended up spending the next 4 hours eating a lavish meal, drinking champagne and enjoying the most amazing 360 degree view of the city I have ever seen! Turns out he is a millionaire oil tycoon and she is an international woman of mystery!
Needless to say, I did not have to pitch in on the bill and, as an added bonus, me and hubby were invited to an exclusive yacht party next Saturday night. Can you say "jackpot"!

Dopplegangers
So, be careful what you manifest is the lesson of the day. Because of my 'fro, people are always calling me Erykah Badu or some other hair icon. So, I said that that made me want to get famous so people can call Erykah my name. Imagine someone saying "Hey Muse" to Erykah Badu. I love the compliment, but who wants to be called by someone else's name.
Anyway, since I have moved to Harlem there are at least two women (powerful women at that) that are mistaken for me or who people say look like me. I need to hurry up and make my name, Muse, stick before I am the compared and not the compared to. Manifesting!

Helicopters Over Harlem
Three ghetto birds hunt by my rooftop
Humming, hovering, hawking
Wingless and wanting
They wait patiently for the worm
-The Muse
