In its 18 years of existence, one of the cores of RJsCorner has been and always will be “Having My Say” where I write about what’s on my mind. I always do that in 400 words or less.
The phrase “Having My Say” came from a book I read entitled “Having Our Say – The Delany Sister’s First 100 Years”
For the last twenty years, I have re-read the book each year. This is one of the most insightful books I have ever read. It was published in 1994 when both sisters were over 100 years old. These two African-American women lived through an entire century and had a lot to say about their lives.
RJsCorner is patterned after this book. I am like the Delany sisters in that I have never parsed many words about the circumstances of my life or the world for that matter and don’t intend to start now.
Another core is:
“Think For Yourself, Question Everything, Never Stop Learning”
I call it my Trilogy of Life. This 2027 version of RJsCorner has one noticeable change, and that is I have quit trying to catalogue all my posts into a half a dozen different topics. I have done that because I have been a life-long list maker, but another theme is “Simply”. I intend to make my ninth decade on this earth as simple as possible. Hence, I will just tell you what I got to say and leave it at that.
Finally, Let’s Get This Straight
RJsCorner is a personal blog that sells nothing and accepts no contributions.
That way, I am accountable to no one for what I put here but myself .
