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…

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…

There Was a Shift

Yesterday, I was hoping views would go over 100 by next Monday on ABY’s website – I woke up to 130. The Fray is outperforming other creators on TikTok with the same follower count as me. And, it’s closing in on 29k reads for my website. The Fray has taken over. This is incredible –…

Updates on 🥀The Fray🥀

As we are starting a new chapter, I realized I had to edit and begin again. I’m not new to this, but the goal has changed a little. I didn’t know the exact direction for The Fray, but it has done so well! While the animation is done as shorts, it is so incredible seeing…

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…

Rent Free in Your Mind

Here we go again. I hate competing because my goals are my goals alone. The fact that people need to lie to feel better about themselves tells me everything I need to know. I had an exchange with someone recently, and when I walked away I realized the same thing was happening, again. The –…

Reaching My Goals

I have been through a lot, which is an understatement. I won’t go on a tangent! But life after the obstacles that once thwarted my every and are now removed is…magical. Understand that I realize more obstacles can come my way – I speak of overcoming generational trauma and karmic relationships. Since the beginning of…

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…

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….
