As A Mother

What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why? In 2017, I had reached my breaking point. I just brought my youngest home from the NICU, after he had been there for four very long months. He came three and a half months early. I felt something building I knew could not be avoided,…

First Place

Who are your current most favorite people? I usually don’t have favorites, because it causes competition. I’ll say I have a small group of people whom I admire for their traits which include selflessness, transparency, honesty and empathy. It’s hard to find genuine people now, so when it comes my way, I am forever grateful….

All Mothers Need Time

Do you need time? Every evening, when me and my boys are settling in, I tell them to give me a moment. They love jumping into my bed, and burying themselves in the blankets. The day has been long, so I usually like this time to myself. So I tell them very kindly, “I’ve been…

It Will Be Everything!

What will your life be like in three years? Firstly, my significant other is moving states so we can be under the same roof. That is literally the highlight of my life right now – not even my books or music hold a flame to that. Him and I running a household is everything. So…

Open Sesame

You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for? I hope this doesn’t sound cliche. If I had three wishes, I would certainly use it for mankind’s good and not my own. Money means nothing. Materiel items as well. Beauty too. All of anything that serves no greater purpose is not something I’d…

My Daughter

Describe a family member. I’d rather not dive into emotional hysteria today. Let’s choose someone who doesn’t need therapy! I remember dreaming about what my daughter would look like, and how much money I spent before she came into this world. (Haha) She was very quiet, then came to life around 18 months old. I…

Taking My Power Back

The sun has not quite risen yet, and the sounds I play at night are still droning on. It’s dark, quiet. I love it this way. Soon, I’ll ascend from my bed, drink coffee and begin my day. Laundry is on the schedule, and I also have to bake cookies. I couldn’t do this about…

Furthering My Hobbies

I’ve recently started playing around with essential oils! First,!8 tried jasmine oil, making roller perfume and a mist. Next, I tried bergamot, and cedar wood. I would also like to add vanilla and rose when I get a chance. The cedar wood and bergamot came out so well! This is for my s/o’s birthday, which…

Carnal

Under the influence of innocence. Nothing but black under the skirt. Assuming everyone wants a hit of it. Did it so much that it hurts. Love yourself far too little. Loved those others far too much. Posing as the victim in every situation. Constantly diminishing worth. Everybody does it. Just to feel love. A fraction…

Mothers

When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why? Success is a prism of topics. I want to address one seldom discussed. Motherhood shouldn’t be thankless, but it is. Anytime a woman goes through nearly ten months of body changes, emotional trauma, and pain like this… To…
