Be Unapologetic AF! A Public Service Announcement

Why do we continuously feel the need to be sorry for how we choose to live our lives? In case no one has told you, you don’t owe anyone in life anything. You don’t owe anyone an explanation on the choices you make in regards to your life. You only owe it to yourself to…

2018 Checkpoint

We are officially six months into 2018. Take a minute and ask yourself these questions: What have you accomplished thus far that you are proud of? What have you done thus far that you aren’t so proud of? How can you make the remaining six months of 2018 just as good, if not better, than…

Stressed.

With every headline, I get more and more stressed. I wonder if my daughter will be safe in school. I wonder if my husband will be safe anywhere. I wonder if I will be safe anywhere. Everything going on around us, just breeds more and more disdain and leads to a level of skepticism that…

Dealing with Guilt

I’ve felt horribly guilty for neglecting my blog as of late. There has been so much going on, that I don’t even know where to start in wondering why I haven’t been blogging, I just haven’t. This is normal; to just not have the motivation or the steam for good content. Instead of forcing sub-par…

“But How?”: A Small Look into My Mental Health Journey

I’m somewhere between the boughs of exhaustion and extreme restlessness. I was on another Internet binge, searching for answers for my mental health. It had become some sort of a past time now; a hobby if you will, I sit up on Saturday nights, and instead of going out with friends, or spending time with…

Dealing with Downs

Most times, I enjoy writing things that people could relate to. I’m not like other bloggers; I don’t have a “niche” per se, I don’t have a specific thing that I want to talk about all the time on my blog. But, if you could ball my creative side up and put it into a…

The Lists of Self-Discovery

I recently purchased a book title “List Your Self: The goal and purpose of the book is to look at the lists outlined in the book, take your time and think about it, then write whatever comes to mind. The lists aren’t meant to be super short or pages and pages long; they are whatever…

Dear Discovery,

You made it clear that there was so much more that needed to be done. You allowed me to realize that there was so much more potential than what was being presented. This was a month of evaluation, but it took a totally different turn than expected. What wasn’t expected was to take a break…

My Free Time is Not Free

Lately I’ve been doing a lot of self-evaluation; an effort in trying to become a better “me”, if you will. I’ve been through some scenarios that have provided the shocking conclusion that my “free time” is never actually “free”. People spend an unnecessary amount of time trying to figure out what it is they want…

Took a Small Break, but I’ll be Back Soon

So, if anyone has been paying attention, the blog has definitely been a little DRY lately :(. I sort of hit a rut and a rough patch for the last couple of weeks in regards to blogging. Between work, editing my next book, working on some poetry and life; unfortunately, my blog took a smooth…
