Lagniappe

“Lagniappe” is a category all it’s own for this blog. The word means “a little something extra” in a good and unexpected way. I’ve heard lagniappe described by others as a random act of kindness of sorts, like when you buy a dozen donuts and after arriving home your realize the baker gave you 13, on purpose. It is an efficient word used to convey the giving of an unexpected, small gift, oftentimes by someone you barely know.

Please feel free to use this space in just such a way. Knowledge is a gift we share with each other, so I look forward to reading what you post here whether it is a short review of a stellar performance or a film that incorporates issues of social justice in the theme or any other little nugget of information that may be of interest to other readers of this blog! Share something that is good to know!
