The Elephant in the Room

This is difficult to blog about but needs to be addressed. I remember the conversation very well. I decided to work on my page for FB monetizing. I told my former boyfriend, and he shared his delight. When I began, I immediately hit a snag. I have always followed all rules for my pages, but…

Pinch Me!

The coolest thing happened today! The above photos are from my TikTok, where I post my art most of the time. I used I WANT U by DAEGHO months ago, and the artist came across my post and liked it! I am so honored 🥰 Things got even better. The plaque I received for my…

The Mistake I Won’t Make Again

While the internet has become a vital tool, there are some aspects that I’d rather avoid at all costs – that of connections via my phone or computer. It is already difficult navigating life, dating apps and internet interactions have those who are generally meek acting bolder online because they’re hiding behind a screen. It…

Uplifted

A lot of what I witness now happens for two reasons – people do not change, and they hope you haven’t. My ex said this perfectly last night, and I couldn’t agree more, “people love their bullshit.” When you are unaware, haven’t healed and have no idea what’s going on, everything triggers you. People can…

Sustaining Effort

People don’t like hearing great things take time. Yet, anytime I’ve rushed anything, it simply never worked. While forcing anything also fails you, building over time is way more sustainable. Establishing yourself and remaining consistent are key. I’ve come to realize that no matter how much I say this, it falls on deaf ears. I…

To Embark

The sun sets over Colorado, another day to begin soon. I idle on how I feel, and realize that the older I get, the more others don’t seem to change. I’ll be 39 next year, I’m rolling in accomplishments, yet still silently think on what ifs, and so on. I used to help people often…

Jealousy is a Disease

Right as I was celebrating my good fortune, someone let their true colors show. Let me explain this as clearly as possible. I changed my Facebook page to professional mode. I only have 32 friends. I obtained about 390 followers during the time I made that decision. 110 more would make me eligible for monetizing…

Age Old

To you this slightly uninteresting – maybe even unimportant. Pointless, if you will. I’m sharing it because it’s apart of who I am. I have been doing hair, of all types and styles since I was 15, with no former training. It’s just a gift. I had one trip to the salon for what are…

Getting Back on Track

A lot has happened this year that has my household reeling, except that I also don’t want to forget what got me here in the first place. Taking my time. I’m guilty of thinking I can remove chunks of time to get to a destination faster. But I spent the majority of my life doing…

When It’s Forced

This is a topic that’s hard to explain. Reason being is because it is my personal experience, and people seem to not make sense of it. You can call it luck, fortune, opportunity, blessed. Whatever you call it, three things happen. First, people act like it’s out of this world and that it would never…
