Pretty Much

Is your life today what you pictured a year ago? Everyone tried to change me. I got used, lied to, cheated on. I’ve been arrested, I even tried to kill a man. I’ve dated rich men, I’ve dumped them too. Being who I am on the inside has kept me sane. I have changed or…

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…

My First Born

Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc. The first day as a parent was interesting. I just had my oldest son, who came on time. Ultrasounds confirmed he ate up his “food”, so my labor was induced! After he was born, the nurses fawned over him. I…

A Stroll

Taking in the sounds, animals, pieces of nature I can visually gather…taking a walk is my favorite physical activity. Sex is epic, needed even. When the cause and affect isn’t present (ie. my s/o) a stroll is on the menu. You can think – evaluate even. Breathe. Enjoy your music, ignore your phone. Then you…

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…

Yes, Often!

Do you ever see wild animals? Seeing wild animals, even here in Denver is actually more common than people realize. I’m observant though, I’m enamored by most things around me. The number one thing I see the most are hawks, soaring and searching for food. I have gotten as close as several feet, watching one…

Flaws and All

What is one thing you would change about yourself? Not a thing, really. I wouldn’t fully be myself. I accept my flaws and all. Without them, I’d only be a fraction of who I am. Etching parts we don’t like about our self out of the equation doesn’t ensure you’ll be better off. Working on…

Night Time, Please 🌙

Are you more of a night or morning person? I prefer the slowness of the evening. Mornings are meant for moving around, getting it together. Out the door, cleaning, or starting a project. Both clearly serve a purpose, but I love laying in bed right before I fall to sleep, looking over passages, talking with…
