Unpredictable Father
Day 49/366 of my writing journey in 2024. As I prepare for this significant art show, a pivotal moment in my life, I find myself at a crossroads. The desire for my Mother's presence tugs at my heart, yet the reality is inviting her would inevitably bring my Father along. I have set boundaries with my Father due to his tumultuous past and unpredictable behavior, prioritizing my mental well-being. My Mother, a product of a generation committed to their partners, remains by his side despite the pain it brings. The longing for my Mother's support at my show is profound, but the risk of my Father's presence looms, potentially overshadowing the event with his actions. And so, I pen down these thoughts, grappling with this intricate family dynamic.

It Was Right Under My Nose
Day 48/366 of writing in 2024. Often, we tend to make things more complicated than they need to be. Sometimes, we are so close to our problems that we fail to see the solutions right in front of us. Lately, I have been feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, even writing about it in my recent pieces.

Overwhelm Part 2
Day 47/366 days of writing pieces in 2025. Be careful what you wish for. I wanted 2024 to be the year I quantum leaped into another version of myself. A daring more courageous version, who takes more risks with her creativity and leadership. And it’s all happening at once and I welcome it. But I’m so exhausted from all the extra nuances that have come with it that I’m wondering if my nervous system is ready for all of it. And so the only topic I wanted to write about today was a continuation of the overwhelm I started feeling and wrote about several days ago. Read it here. Even though I’m still sleeping great at night (I wrote about my sleep regimen here ) during the day I’m still in overwhelm.

Better Sleep Now
Day 46/366 days of writing pieces in 2024. I’m a bit of a sleep Queen. My regimen is on point. In fact it’s so on point my ex boyfriend teased me a bit when we first moved into together because of my sleep routine and how particular I am. But by the end of our relationship, he had adopted a lot of what I do into his own routine. I came home one day to find him asleep during a nap wearing my sleep mask!

Overwhelm Happens
Day 45/366 days of writing pieces in 2024. Confession: I wrote this piece yesterday while my hair color was processing at the salon because I’m so short on time right now. I think it’s important to keep it real. Life happens.

How to Be Your Own Valentine Any Day of the Year
It’s Valentines Day. My feed on social media is filled with opinions about it right now. People making fun of people for celebrating. People drowning in feelings of sadness because they are single, etc.

Burning Down The Shame And Awakening Sexual Expression
Day 43/366 of writing pieces in 2024. We had just arrived at the campsite. Natalie and I were trying to figure out where to set up our tent. We didn’t want to be in the center of all the action because we knew there would be loud music into the wee hours of the morning. Yet, we didn’t want to be too far away. Luckily there were options.

Throwing Darts Winning At Life
Throwing Darts, Winning at Life I’m not a crazy girl. I’m not one of those girls that you think about when you hear that country song “Before He Cheats” by Carrie Underwood. You know the one, where she’s slashing his tires?

Marshmallows
Day 40/366 Days of writing on vocal. Everyone needs that one friend that you can have healthy banter with. My friend Ann is that one for me. She’s a writing professor at a college so I always go to her for writing ideas. She’s also the one friend that I send inappropriate memes to. I think we all have this person in our lives.

What I Once Learned About Love From A Bath bomb
Day 39/366 days of writing in 2024. I wrote this article a few years ago but dug it up and revamped it after several conversations with clients, colleagues, and friends recently. Everyone comes to me when they want to learn to love themselves more. And believe me, if someone would’ve told me back in my twenties that I would become the “Goddess of Self-Love” I would’ve never believed it. Yet here I am, loving on myself more than just about anyone I know and what a beautiful way life is now. With Valentines Day coming next week, this is the perfect piece to publish today.
