With my last few posts, it’s clear I don’t have to stress the overwhelming nature of this pandemic and quarantine is causing; however, there is one more population that is also dealing with the pandemic, and that is our beautiful babies. My daughter is 6, and despite her being so young, she is well aware…

Be Kind. Don’t Share that Post.
Please. For the sake of those you love and care about who get triggered by violence, do not share videos of brutal violence and death. I understand awareness is everything, but there are enough articles and information that gets disseminated that will paint the picture. And if you’re thinking “what if they’re lying?” Well, darkness…
Self-Care Check-in’s
I’ve been telling myself that I wanted to start a daily morning and nightly routine in centering my mind and enhancing my self-care. Part of it starts with a system of accountability. In today’s climate, we have a little more time than ever on our hands. This is probably the perfect time to establish a…
Essential Workin’
Day ……. whatever the hell in quarantine. First, let me sing praises to ANY AND ALL essential workers during this time. I know many people in this pandemic that have to work tirelessly to ensure health and safety of others. I do not attempt to compare or bring down any job; however, I also do…
Yea, I’m That Kind of Introvert.
About two years ago, my best friend showed me a video, that showed you the difference between being an introvert and an extrovert. Before watching this video, I didn’t really think I fell into the introvert category because I could be pretty social when I wanted to be. I figured I was pretty much just…
Part 1: Acknowledge Yourself and What You’re Going Through.
This is the first part of a blog series that I introduced back in September, titled A Journey through Self. My goal for this series was to help acknowledge, accept and take accountability for the journey through learning more about myself, the good, bad and ugly, and finally finding a way to get through it…
Self-Care Sunday: Sitting in Stillness
After a long and stressful week of working, or even after the day’s events, sometimes I just want to sit in silence. There are days when I will sit in my meditation space, and instead of journaling or doing a guided meditation, I will just sit there and watch the candles as they flicker into…
Toni Morrison- The Source of Self-Regard
Memory (the deliberate act of remembering) is a form of willed creation. It is not an effort to find out the way it really was–that is research. The point is to dwell on the way it appeared and why it appeared in that particular way. – Toni Morrison, The Source of Self-Regard
2019 Reflections
When I first thought of this post, I wanted to discuss all the things that I did not accomplish, that I have been kicking myself for so far this month. Instead of harping on what I did not accomplish, I took the time to remind myself of the things I did accomplish this year. These things…
Frustrated AF.
FYI: This will be a post full of a full fledged vent. Something I feel we all would like to do, but feel like it’s not allowed when blogging. Well, screw it. We’re going to jump right into it. I feel….lost. 2019 did not go exactly how I planned; scratch that, it did not go…
