I’ve spent a good deal of my life striving to do for others. Mostly because I was raised that way. Mostly because I think, I know, it is the right way to live. No matter what I’ve been through, I still keep to that mantra. However, an adjustment was required. Every hurt that I suffered,… Continue reading Day 90.

I was sent a post from Instagram today (credit: @healer_prince) that read as follows: “Most of you were never my friends. I was just yours.” Powerful statement, huh? You might take offense to it as soon as you read it. Or maybe, just maybe, it gives you pause. Maybe it makes you think. Let’s start… Continue reading Day 89.

Family. Ripe avocados. The smell of a fire pit/place. Gerbera daisies. Quiet streets. The first coffee of the day. A new pack of gum. A found lip balm. In-season watermelon. A good pair of hoops. An old book. A new book. A first kiss. A familiar kiss. Sunshine. Thunderstorms. Warm cookies. Fresh fallen snow. Snap… Continue reading Day 88.

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.
