I do not replace my phone for the newest model. I buy items they will last – silver, gold, genuine leather, silks, furs and cotton. Sometimes linen. I polish shoes, fix holes. I do my own hair and nails. I know the value in myself without all of those things. I define luxury in my…

Governing the Horizon
I’ve spoken about this for awhile now. Traveling some distance to reach my destination. Last week, I arrived at what I’d call a home base – or at least I understand the journey now and I know my path. Then this thought came to mind, and you can call it what you like. How was…
My Own World
I’m fortunate the retrograde has ended – my music is doing what it does best… Getting seen. This is my whole bit about competition – we are all in a league of our own. With that being said, I’m glad I chose this route. Making music – using it for my content…and getting paid later…
🥀For Women like Me – Nia, from The Fray🥀
I am sipping wine on this fake holiday, but instead of celebrating a country being usurped from those who already called this place home… I am celebrating 🥀The Fray🥀 Dear “black” girl, we did it. I’ve written a lot of books, and all the main female characters are a woman of color. I made sure…
A Busy Street
People are going to meet you where they are mentally, because they know nothing else. Unless they have taken strides to change their patterned behavior, they will present their lowest form to your highest form – and assume you’re the bad guy. The deflection, crude behavior, and insults are a defense mechanism coming from someone…
Dusty
Venus is exalted in my charts, in the place it should be. Venus in Pisces means it’s exalted. So my love for fashion, beautiful things and always needing to doll up is an expression of that. I am once again complaining about how dusty everyone is. I’m not saying you should be just like me….
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…
Positivity
We live in an our world littered by opinions. Do this, wear that, you’re this – you’re that. However, we seldomly hear kindness and truths. It’s hard being soft in a place that constantly demands you need to be harsh to survive. With that being said, I’d like to introduce you to Athul Kriprilani Ashok,…
It Wouldn’t Have Been Enough
We weren’t going to make it – my ex and I. Why are you bringing this up? I was working on – and still am, understanding that what I’ve done and the results of it are more than enough. Particularly because it is toxic to do otherwise. It hit me this morning, as I went…
As A Woman
My mother would say, “you’ll have a hard time finding someone. You’ve accomplished so much.” I have no desire to date a man doing less than me. And furthermore, who has less. It has been brought to my attention enough to know that when a man is lacking and not reaching his potential, he will…
