Obligation, Acceptance and Knowing the Difference

A couple of weeks ago, I was watching an episode of Lovecraft Country. I heard a quote that sent a shock through my body about family. It resonated with me because it identified the key differences between the obligation and acceptance of the concept of the idea of families and how we view them. It…

#ConfessionsOfALocdGoddess: The Water Retwist

So last night, I did a quick retwist on my hair, because these COVID roots were not cute anymor, ok? It wasn’t my best work, but it got the job done and I only used two key things: water and oil. I had my gel ready, and as I started, I quickly decided that I…

We Did It.

Almost four years to the day, the world watched Donald Trump stun the world and become President of the United States of America. I remember the night like it was yesterday and my stunned reaction I will never forget. It has been a long and wild ride with Donald Trump as a president, and as…

It’s Best to Be Still and Don’t Speak

Sometimes, Sundays are just for sitting and staring. Today, my Sunday is representing a practice of the art of being still. Because I realized I move too fast; I speak too much. And sometimes it’s better to just move slower, be still and not speak as much. I do my best to practice as much…

Cancel Culture Ain’t for Me

The wave of “cancel culture” seems to be the bandwagon of sorts that has created an ultimatum-type response; you’re either doing it or your not. And depending on what side of the fence you’re on, you will either be supported or criticized. It seems as if it doesn’t take much these days before the whole…
