Solitude is a good friend of mine. I especially love when I’m feeling relaxed and there’s no socializing required for me. Zero communication. Relaxed mind, body, and spirit; now that is Heaven on Earth. I know that in those moments, I’m in a good healthy place. There was time, I wouldn’t allow myself to reachContinue reading “Solitude and I”

Dr. Suess
Before I knew anything about Roald Dahl, I loved me some Dr. Seuss. I think I loved Dr. Seuss for longer than I should have. I wasn’t the best childhood reader, but that didn’t take away my joy for reading Dr. Suess. I’m reminded about Suess because lately my little one has been talking aboutContinue reading “Dr. Suess”
Let Yourself Expand
Do you feel the desire to expand in new ways? That is a healthy desire. Do you ask yourself questions like, What can I do to set goals that aid in my expansion? That is a mature response. Side note: You don’t need to be validated to grow, you just do it. And don’t forgetContinue reading “Let Yourself Expand”
Writing Tech
What technology do you use to write? I’m a Microsoft Word user. I appreciate their “Read Aloud” feature, so I can hear what I write. This feature doesn’t work so well with creative writing like prose and poetry, but it works for most other types of content. I also enjoy using AI. I will quoteContinue reading “Writing Tech”
Writers Life and Uncertainty
I am someone who struggles with uncertainty. I’ve missed many events because I didn’t know or understand what was going to happen. Agendas, guest lists, and syllabi all significantly lower my anxiety. It’s funny, before I realized that those things give me peace, I would get frustrated when people would ask questions about events IContinue reading “Writers Life and Uncertainty”

I am looking forward to this weekend. There’s some fun things going on in my novel. Connections and details can finally come together. I have the weekend to play with some different scenarios and I will ask myself, is it time to begin working on my prose? I’ve been saving that for last. I justContinue reading “TGIF”
These Hoof Videos
I don’t know what it is but these hoof cleaning videos always grab my attention. Some of these beautiful animals get long sharp things impaled in their hooves. It causes abscess and it looks to sad and painful. I don’t always have it in me to watch the ones where the animal is hurt butContinue reading “These Hoof Videos”
Good Morning
I’m so grateful for my Mother’s Day gift from my husband. I’ve been eyeing that mushroom coffee drink for years now but never bought it because coffee is way cheaper at Walmart. On Mother’s Day he sat and drank it with me. He also made me a cup this morning before work. This evening heContinue reading “Good Morning”
The Things in Life that Matter Most are Free
Money has its place but the things in life that matter most are free. I had an amazing day! I had my girls, my mama, and my husband right there with me all day. We had plans with B plans that were just as good. But the truth is as long as my family showedContinue reading “The Things in Life that Matter Most are Free”
Mother’s Day
I’m beyond grateful for all the mamas I’ve had in my life! I’ve been raised guided loved and accepted by so many powerful women. My mom and my Nanny (grandmother) were the first two strong women to raise me. And then as I grew women of all colors and ages continued to guide me toContinue reading “Mother’s Day”
