I’m fairly certain that I’ve posted a blog entry with this exact title before. Because it’s true. I’ve always been blessed with good friends, even though many times in my life I’ve nevertheless felt alone in the world. After my mom, grandmother, and dad died in 2005, which coincided with the break up of my [...]
If you are a regular reader of CoParenting101.org, you know that I *heart* Talibah Mbonisi, founder of WeParent.com (a resource devoted to African-American co-parents) and our co-host on “Co-Parenting Matters.” Below is an awesome cross-post from WeParent penned by Talibah in which she talks co-parenting, Spades, and playing to win.

I was pretty okay when I left the house. By phone, Techboo had done his loving cheerleader thing. The first time I read [...]
