What is true love anyways? I feel like Carrie Bradshaw just typing this out loud, but I can’t help it. I’ve asked my mom, I’ve asked my cousin, I’ve asked my friends. Their response is always a pause. And a pondering face, like they wish they could give me the answer, but they’ve been askingContinue Reading “Love galore.”
The other morning while in the shower – where I do all my best thinking – I thought about what my Rich Dad, Poor Dad story was. What created a duality in my identity?

I don’t remember if itContinue Reading “I Am Not A Cat Lady: The Bad Night, Part 2.”
Today I was struggling to think of what to write. I thought my life had suddenly become dull and boring, but it turns out I just didn’t want to say what was actually on my mind. I wanted to shove my thoughts into a pocket deep, deep, deep in the back of my mind. NowContinue Reading “Real talk.”
“I don’t want to be treated as your equal. I want to be treated a lot better than you.” Blanche Devereaux made me sit up when she said these words. No, I wasn’t up in arms, I was in full agreement. What felt wrong and contradictory to say, was said plainly. Suddenly, I felt itContinue Reading “The modern woman according to Blanche Devereaux. (Season 7, Episode 16)”
It’s easy to look at the road ahead and see nothing but obstacles. Trying days at work. Overwhelming workouts. Emotional roadblocks. And I’m not going to lie to you. There are challenges ahead. You’ve just got to make sure the challenges you face are the ones worth overcoming. The way I see it, there areContinue Reading “There are challenges ahead.”

If you follow DJ Khaled, you know a few important things: he’s positive, he loves his fans and his life, and he has a lot of catchy phrases. We the best. Fan luv. Lion. Boomin’. TheContinue Reading “The Keys.”
