When the Shift Settles

There were small things that occurred, and I kept going -“maybe that’s why this person lied.” You know – a little recognition and people want to be your friend. They see your follower account and assume you have some magic recipe. I still worry if I’m doing enough. I do recall all that I do,…

To Click the Link

My favorite thing…is when someone likes the link for my posts. But they never click to read them 🤭 It doesn’t upset me, it’s funny. The human race runs off of surface appearances. What it looks like rather than what it feels like. To that I say – it isn’t support. Yet, I am aware…

Bandwidth – A Poem

The type to float through the nightPretend not to tryCoast till tears dryI remember finding myselfAfter I lived too long in hell. Now I have the chance to build upBetter than beforeWatch my spread my wingsWatch me fly and soar I hand a better chance becauseThe past has been left behindNo more milk to spillNo…

Needing Something Else

What’s a common misconception people have about happiness? Happiness can be obtained through so many routes, thinking you can feel it with another or a material item is a mistake. It means you depend on others and or cast blame when you are unhappy. While being a mother or a wife can come with said…

What is this Monday!

First things first – protect your peace at all costs. I don’t know what that means for every individual, I just know it’s crucial. I woke up to an email from a company wanting me to join their affiliate program. It’s a startup company, and I am more than happy to participate. I’ll share the…

Home

The quiet of a Sunday morning can be compared to nothing…it wins the week. The fans are humming, the sun is still rising. I’ve been through hell. Somehow, I came out unscathed. Someone finally looked at me and gave me peace. I didn’t have to do a single and dance, they simply just care. I…

Protect Your Peace

Back in 2019, the owner of Urban magazine told me something that I will never forget. He said, “be careful who you deal with. You’re on your way up, you don’t want just anyone attached to you.0 At first, I laughed to myself. I didn’t consider what I was doing at the time – great….

Quality Over Quantity

What quality do you value most in a friend? As I’ve gotten older – I value outright honesty and integrity. I had a bout with someone recently because they lied – they kept suggesting we’d be friends. I can’t make out their entire motive, but they were trying to attach themselves to me. When I…

Grateful to be Self Made

I’m finding the silver lining in being self made once again. Before I faced myself and my fears, I would kind of complain about it. It was disguised as me being overly independent. I didn’t feel like I was heard enough. As I’ve gotten older, I realized how much of a gimmick everything is. It…

Foundational Imagination

This is a great question, because I think experiences in life etch your confidence out of you. Children are a great example of confidence, even given their environments. We seem to think a kid can be delusional – pretending to be a knight or a princess. But they believe so deeply that they are, and…
