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….
Grateful to be Self Made
I’m finding the silver lining in being self made once again. Before I faced myself and my fears, I would kind of complain about it. It was disguised as me being overly independent. I didn’t feel like I was heard enough. As I’ve gotten older, I realized how much of a gimmick everything is. It…
The Leap
I had to type out a pitch on the spot. If The Fray hadn’t already become substantial – and if my follower count was low… There would be no animated series. We’re talking about this today because I keep coming across people who put themselves up against me. First and foremost – what I do…
🥀Nearly 5k Views!🥀
Before I begin – this is extremely hard. I don’t think I make what I do look easy. There is no guarantee people will like, view or comment on my content. The goal is to finish and try anyway. Throughout where the video is posted, it is sitting at 4.8k views! That is so wonderful,…

Wonders Never Cease
Despite what it looks like, I am new to spreading my wings to gain new heights. Mostly because I prefer a slow pace. But I realized if I continue in one direction, as if nothing else matters, I’ll end up stuck. A lot in my birth chart suggests I am extremely mutable, but the way…
We Are Cooked 🍳
What do you mean…am I Ai? He apologized, but still. Can’t you tell I’m human? Are we that shallow…that women can’t be exceptionally attractive without markup, Ai and filters? It is a scary world we live in. Also…maybe don’t make yourself the topic of my blog? Weird. At any rate, it was a typical conversation….

Reaching Millions
The Costs, the Point, the Rewards Being self made means you work on solutions to get your content seen. It requires trial and error, patience and perseverance. I don’t do this to compete…it is for the love of all that I do. Now I get to assess what’s been done! Did my ads work? What…
