Vulnerability The funny thing about the word vulnerability is that someone, a few months ago, told me I needed to learn to lean into mine. He wanted me to be vulnerable to him. The thing is, I hadn't felt safe (protected) with him for him to see me for me. How could I? How could … Continue reading 5:34 AM

Liebster Award (2nd nomination)
Since this is my second nomination, I will not be nominating anyone, but I wanted to take time to answer the questions that were presented. 1) If your hair could talk, what would it say to you? This could be scary. 🙂 I think it would say Fierceness pulls those magnetic energies you are meant … Continue reading Liebster Award (2nd nomination)
The Monster Within

Breaking the Chains
Last night, I took a quiet stroll through the park where we had our first meet. You wanted somewhere open, somewhere where we could enjoy the weather and get to know one and another. We only had an hour yet, that hour turned into two. We spoke about our families, education, future dreams, and so … Continue reading Breaking the Chains

Equality Recognition is not BULLSHIT
In response to the #trending Zoe Saldana articles circulating about her Husband taking on her last name, I just couldn’t keep quiet much longer.

4:36 AM
I received a call early this morning from someone from my past. It had been almost a month since I last heard from him. He felt betrayed as he worded it because I had started to date someone else. I was at a loss for words; I was merely trying to get on with my … Continue reading 4:36 AM
