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…

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…
Take Your Time
What is something you wish you could tell your 20-year-old self? As I have gotten older, I’ve slowed down quite a bit. I was raised to “hurry up and get it done,” and honestly, why? So I did. All of my days – rush here and rush there. I wish I would have taken in…
Fake Support
I felt the icy cold familiarity of proliferated small talk. The sense of needing to prove yourself through a conversation meant for strategy and help. Then came the lies. Then came my favorite of time all, “I bought your book.” No, you didn’t. I can check to see if someone’s made a book purchase. Obviously,…
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…
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…
When You Climb
Is it me or does something always try to loosen itself when your realities shift? The moment you realize you accomplished a great feat – suddenly you can’t find your keys… I think it’s from anticipation – it’s a mixture of fear and excitement. Maybe we can work on the fear part. Today, I was…
The Mother Wound
On your quest to rediscover who you are, you often, unfortunately uncover injuries from your upbringing that bring about terrible memories. While we talk about lack of love or abuse from fathers often, I think we don’t divulge enough on abusive mothers. First and foremost, despite how my mother was, I loved her. However, love…
