Mind Control Tips
It’s a very popular trend to say hello to a new month on social media. As a matter of fact, if you google “hello February,” so many cute little graphics come up for you to post on social media. I wasn’t ready for the hello February’s. I’m excited about my birthday plans, but not actually … Continue reading Mind Control Tips
Protect your peace.
I absolutely love that more people are becoming aware of how important protecting their peace is.

My friend's blog on finding your inner peace is perfect for those who just don't know … Continue reading Protect your peace.
Don’t touch my hair
Why I feel judged by Naturalistas Growing up, I was introduced to the relaxer very early. My mom prided herself in always having my hair done for any occasion and any given day.

In today’s society, there are a lot more women who have … Continue reading Why I don’t want to be a mom.
Count it all joy.
At the end of 2014, I found an article about a blessing jar. It was a do-it-yourself product that required an empty mason jar, some paper and pen. I believe the directions called for you to write something you were grateful for every day, fold it up and put it in the jar. What … Continue reading Count it all joy.
Don’t die in your cubicle.
For the past couple of years I have been de-escalating calls and educating people on the difference between deductibles and co-insurances. I’ve upgraded to a nice little cubicle that often makes me feel like I’m drowning.
Alone, but peaceful.
While speaking to a friend about my misgivings on being single, I came to a rather disgusting discovery: I hate being alone. If you haven’t yet figured this out about me, I am very emotional. During the demise of past relationships, my anger and bitterness towards that person for whatever may have happened lasts for … Continue reading Alone, but peaceful.
The beauty in the journey.
We can treat this like an AA meeting. No one is perfect. My word is not law. But if my gift can help me heal and assist others in doing the same…I’ll share anyway.
