High and Absolving

My life is good. I’m not explaining , separating, stepping down, monologging, or sympathizing with mind created drama. That’s what this world is. I agree if the point has been made and it’s clear, beyond that is an obvious cry for help. The state of the world is not determined by who’s in office. If…

Triggered

While I don’t like choosing sides, I also don’t condone nonsense. No matter anyone’s stance, my everyday purchased or used items should not come at the cost of someone else’s life. I was at a point to basically milling my own flour, when my significant other brought up a very valid point. “If these industries…

Showcasing Contentment

If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say? On the billboard, I was show a picture of a stack of money, and under it I would say, “it’s not that serious.” Many people would get offended, others probably would be confused. It’s not for them, or maybe it is. For anyone who understands,…

Say Less

What are your biggest challenges? It’s encouraging to stand your ground, but sometimes silence is the best method. One of my biggest challenges is reacting. While I have gotten better, I feel if it keeps happening, it is obviously something I need to work on. My next challenge, that a lot of women will either…

As of Now

Are you a good judge of character? When I was younger, probably due to abuse, no, I was not. I felt because I had been hurt, how could I cast down others? I paid deeply for that thinking, people continuously abused my kindness and pretended they did nothing wrong. Now, even the slightest off behavior,…

Happiest

When are you most happy? Whenever I am in the presence of my significant other, or early in the morning, when my boys clamor into my bed, with sleepy faces and quiet responses. When I can rest, and clear my mind. Feeling the ache of my feet. Whenever I think about how far I’ve come,…

Helpful

Tell us one thing you hope people say about you. I hope someone says I helped them in some way, because it lets me know I unconsciously did so. I do not help for gratification, I hope what I’m doing helps steer someone in a better direction – gives them hope or realizes there are…

Integrity

What is something others do that sparks your admiration? I learned the word when I was 12, and hardly saw it demonstrated. People would prefer to be unscrupulous, always scheming to get their way, instead of doing the right thing. I call it the grey area…the void where people assume a little good and bad…

Less Perfectionism

What could you do less of? The absolute need to attempt perfection when I know it’s more than just a falsehood, and has hurt me in the past. It’s unrealistic and pointless. I prefer the cycle of life to what I was taught – to walk, talk, dress and seem a certain way. The moon…

Too Many To Name

What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year? I will name my top three- 3. Finishing The Fray! It is a 100k word Dark Fantasy novel. So many people have reached out about it! This novel is meant to reach Afro-Latina, African Americans and everyone in between! A lot went…
