Tuesdays w/ TJae: Old Houses

Happy Tuesday Reader! As you might imagine, I have been thinking a lot about old houses lately. Certainly, that's in part because of our ongoing conversation series, but also because of where I live. Many of you know that I live in house that once belonged to my aunt. It's a space important to my upbringing. I spent a lot of time here in my childhood. In some ways, I love the house almost as much as I loved the woman who lived here. In late July 2020, at the height of the pandemic and in the...

Reader - I'm not sure if you already know this about me, but I love game shows. While the news is so overwhelming and so many things conspire to drag me down into the abyss, game shows are a great palette cleanser. I love watching people put their whole bodies into the competition and, even better, I love watching people win. Do you share my love of game shows? Which ones are your favorites?How about other past times that light you up and take your mind away from the plights of the world? BTW...

Hi Reader! We had an eclipse yesterday. How are you feeling? Is the world still on its axis? Do you feel stronger? More powerful? What will you do with your new powers? *After a reminder from my daughters, I was able to catch a tiny glimpse through the cloudy sky with my 82 year old neighbor. That feels a bit like magic. A thought . . . I'm sensing an overwhelming fatigue and complacency that's not necessarily linked to the "whelm" I described a couple of weeks ago. If you live in the land of...

Happy-ish Tuesday Reader! Sort of how you shouldn't go to the grocery store when you're hungry, it's also probably not the best idea to send a newsletter to a few hundred people while you're experiencing any state of whelm. Yet, here we are. Did you know you could just be whelmed? I feel really anxious today. I have a sort of unhealthy fear of bridges and the repeating images of the tragedy in Baltimore (where I just traveled a few weeks ago) are adding to a storm brewing in my heart. Add to...

Hi Reader! I know it's not Tuesday. However, it's a Leap Day and it's also the anniversary of a day that changed everything for me. Happy Official Birthday 100 Voices! On February 29, 2020 - before the world shut down (C19) and before it cracked open (G. Floyd) - 100 women gathered around tables to engage in an authentic, grace-filled conversation about race and culture.In that room, around those tables, we heard from our neighbors about their lived experiences. We shared our own stories in...

Hi Reader! Welcome, or welcome back to Tuesdays w/ TJae. I hope your week is off to a peaceful start. Here's my thought from Sunday morning. Maybe it will resonate with you. An Experiment? Ms. Sessum's 5th Grade Class at Windsor Village Elementary School in 1982; Tracie Jae and her classmates. In a recent conversation with one of my classmates from 5th grade, the person said, "We were an experiment. You know that, right?" They went on to say, "Think about the people in our class and how...

Hi Reader! In case you're new here, or maybe just don't know the story, lemme share something really quickly. This newsletter will always (almost always) reach you on a Tuesday. It will not come with any degree of regularity, but I hope that when you get it, it holds something you can use. Why Tuesdays? Well, alliteration, of course. Also, whenever I would leave my Grandpa James, he would say "See you, Tuesday!" no matter when we'd see each other again. So! See you Tuesday. New Year; New...
