Tug of Time

In case you need a reminder, it's mid October.  It's that time of year when white girls all over the country eat, drink and breathe pumpkins.  And while they raid stores fulfilling their annual obsession I'm sitting here having a minor panic attack because this year has flown by faster than my relationship with that...

Scar Tissue

There are things that will happen in this lifetime that are devastating.  Some things you'll see coming, others will blindside you and you won't believe it.  When something bad happens in our lives, we take preventative measures so that it doesn't happen again.  We favor an arm, we close off a part of ourselves we...

Mozart & Understanding

'Music brings the people together'  -  Madonna /  lyrics from Music I love music.  A lot.  Songs take me back to specific places, moments and people in my life.  It is nostalgic, thought invoking and the cheapest therapy you'll ever find.  Music saves, empathizes and unites in a world that can't seem to do any of...

Wait for It

The average person spends five years waiting.  If that didn't just make a single tear fall down your cheek or make your head wanna pop off, you have more patience than I will ever know in a lifetime.  Five years is a really long time.  I will have spent more time in traffic than I...

For Moms with Tiny Humans

"My son spit on me today."  This is a text message I received from my best friend followed by "I want to stab him in the face with a fork."  Meanwhile, I was reading a book on my couch wearing whitestrips and a charcoal peel-off mask.  Talk about a Freaky Friday dynamic.  I don't know...

Impact

I was thinking about all of the people I've ever met in this lifetime and it got me wondering what kind of impression I give.  How do I make people feel?  What kind of vibe do I emit?  There is so much concern about which path to choose but I'm equally curious about the path... Continue Reading →

I Believe in a Thing Called love

People watching is my jam.  I find relationships, especially, extremely fascinating.  I love looking around a room and observing couples.  I wonder how they met, who made the first move, how long they've been together, how many kids they have, what their last argument was about, if they still like each other...the list goes on...

What a Girl Wants

What do you want?  What are you looking for?   These are both valid questions that I have a very hard time responding to with direct answers...or answers that make a tiny speck of sense.  Now maybe this is because I'm a Cancer and my mind runs at Olympic speed at all hours of the...

Birthrights & Braids

I've developed a serious obsession with the Middle Ages.  This goes beyond Shakespeare, which we all know holds an atrium in my heart.  Maybe it's because I'm having serious Game of Thrones withdrawals or maybe it's because I'm doing whatever I can do to avoid the fact that chokers and platform shoes are trying to...

Reality Confessions

I have a confession to make:  I watch the Bachelor/Bachelorette.  I also realize that makes me an idiot.  In my defense, it's more background noise while I catch up on emails, write and shop for shoes I've found on Pinterest that have been discontinued since 2002.  But back to the point, guilty as charged.  I...
