This post is dedicated to my lovely mama and the following young ladies who I am very lucky to know (aka my heroes/our future): Victoria, Esther, Mia, Maria, Neeka, and Zoe. I was in weird mood last night. Not a bad mood or a sad mood. More contemplative. Sometimes this happens after I spend time… Continue reading Days 85-87.

I was recently asked on a social distancing date. I think a little bit of background is beneficial, so I’ll digress for just a moment. The gentleman in question is educated, well-traveled, professionally accomplished, and just an interesting person all around. He is also kind, intelligent, and funny. Bottom line? He seemed like a good… Continue reading Day 84.

Today is a double-up kind of day. First of all, I have a lot to say about something (which is shocking, I know). Secondly, tomorrow is my pop’s birthday so I’m going to be disconnecting from everything to celebrate the crap outta him. I don’t do that often, but he’s totally worth it. I had… Continue reading Days 82 and 83.

A very close friend of mine asked me if I think there is one person meant for each of us. One soul mate or one true connection. I responded in the most honest way I could. I don’t know. There are so many lines of thinking when it comes to this topic. There are some… Continue reading Day 81.

I don’t want to bore you here, but I think another recap is necessary. So real quick, here is the conversation I was going to address today: One individual challenged the idea of systemic racism, or was at least inquiring about it, and asked if an acknowledgement or acceptance of the idea of systemic racism… Continue reading Days 78-80.

Lucky number 7’s. Doesn’t feel so lucky right now, huh? I mean, I feel lucky. There’s a lot of people that probably don’t feel lucky. I am going to start with a very, very quick recap. You know, like how a good Netflix series takes you on a spin through the last episode so you… Continue reading Day 77.

Well hi there. I was shut down yesterday because I decided to have a quiet day of reflection. I wanted to pause and take the day to really consider the state of the world. I wanted to think critically about what I was going to do to help shift things. I happened to have three… Continue reading Days 75 and 76.

Ignorance. Privilege. The cost of a life. These are the topics I cycled through when considering what I wanted to write about today. I’ve covered all of them. More than once. It’s hard to know where to start right now or what to focus on. Ignoring that we are still in the throes of a… Continue reading Day 74.

I gave a great deal of thought to what I wanted to write about today. There are a few things that have been at the forefront of my mind. And yet, I keep circling back to the same thought. I keep coming back to the topic I touched on in yesterday’s post. I keep feeling… Continue reading Days 71-73.

I want to make a very sensitive and important point in today’s post. Perhaps more important than anything else I talk about because in many ways it is sort of the root of everything else. Power. Did you get the shivers reading that word? Excitement tremors or fear-filled quakes? I’m usually erring on the latter… Continue reading Day 70.
