As I get older, I try to adapt the mindset that 1) I am not perfect, and 2) I cannot allow people to make me feel like I have to be Superwoman for everyone. I am a people pleaser. I always have been; and fear that I always will be. I definitely know this about…

Atonement and Apologies: Why they MUST Go Hand in Hand
When I was younger; I didn’t understand the concept of being accountable for wrong actions. I was told that I needed to apologize, but it wasn’t until I was older that I learned the importance of a behavior change that actually accommodates the apology. When dealing in the spaces of consequences and mistakes, apologies are…
#GivingTuesday
In the spirit of Giving Tuesday, what better way to support someone than to donate to their passion, their dream, their life’s work? Not many know; but, I have my own publishing company that I have now published 3 of my 4 novels under. My dream is to one day be big enough to have…
Let’s Be Different This Year.
So my birthday was on Sunday, and overall I cannot complain with how things went. I had some me time, bought myself a nice outfit, even decided to put myself together instead of sitting around in my sweats all day (my original plan). Throughout my day, I saw this post on Instagram, and it felt…
The Toughest Conversation I Couldn’t Navigate With My Daughter

So, a lot has happened since my last post. Good things, but things nonetheless. So, I moved. I fled the nest that I’ve known for 27 years of my life. It was very scary at first, and I don’t really think my body and mind have settled into the anxiety, but I did it and…

I believe there is true discernment in allowing yourself to differentiate from the two. A lot of…
Happy Birthday, Kynn.
My child, Please forgive me, for I may not always do my best by you, but I would give my life for yours at a moments notice. I may not always know the rhythm of your existence, but I will dance beside you anyway. My timing may be skewed; when you need me I may…

10 Years Ago..
I made a choice to embark on a journey of lifetime sisterhood with some of the most beautiful souls I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. In 10 years, babies have been born, relationships have evolved, we’ve been apart of weddings, we’ve been there for each other no matter the distance or the time apart. We…
