humanity
For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
The Root of My Heart
The things we value most in life stem from a place of happiness, a past time that was so wonderful we hold onto with a smell or a specific color or a song that'll help us to remember those happy moments. We carry on family traditions because in those moments we were at our happiest. Those treasured moments that are rooted deep in your soul, they're weighted in your heart and will forever be there like a stuck anchor on a ship.

Lonely Heartache
If you've read my prior work than you know I'm anti-love, anti-relationships, anti-kids, anti-everything basically. I have a tendency to push everyone and everything away. I don't want people to be emotionally involved so I like keeping them at bay but it's starting to take a toll on me.

The post covid normal will be like this!
I have favorite people. They spice up my life. And two of them are established in 1970, yes that is 50 years ago. So they pass a big milestone earthday in the most surreal of all years since. So enough reason to celebrate but no way to actually plan the celebrations that fit the occasion. As with most get-togethers, it is simply not happening any time soon.

Most people get tattoos because they mean something. I, myself, am covered. My sleeve is only hours away from being finished, but I am seasoned with a variety of artists work. I have my children’s names. I have a couple matching tattoos from past relationships, and no real ink addict would be complete without a few regrettable impulse pieces as well.

Nothing without a Queen
My Definition a Woman: To be a Black woman, it entails the kinks and curls of one’s hair, the fierceness in her eyes and the drive in her heart and mindset. Black women are the backbone of black men. Black Queens are the backbones of black Kings, pulling the weight to make sure her children are thriving. Black Girl Embedded in every day is a magnificence that is so easy to miss because they are so mired in the struggle and what society says they are. Black women know they deserve better, which is why they strive for the best. Black girl magic is the epitome of style, grace, beauty and doesn’t forget aging backward. They don’t know everything. They know a fraction of what there is to know, and They don’t think they ever know everything, but it’s important to them to constantly challenge themselves. To understand the world and the energies manifested within it. To tap into their abilities, to produce the most magnificent & lucrative things to be seen and felt into this world.

Rebirth in Gratitude
This art for my back piece was drawn by my friend Michael Heltebrake, an amazing artist who recently moved to Colorado from Reno, Nevada. The concept for the piece is of my own design that came to me in the middle of 2018 as I was reeling from a rather nasty divorce which was the catalyst for a massive life change which the artwork reflects with the Merkabah backdrop and the phoenix rising above. Yes, I suppose divorce is always a catalyst for change, but in my case it was a change that was past due, and very badly needed. I am so very grateful to have survived it.

Dear Stranger,
You saw me on the street. Randomly, as it seemed. You liked my smile. You said hi. You think I'm nice. I make you curious. There is just something about me that you can’t quite grasp. Yet, you think. But I know you. I know your kind. In fact you're making it way too easy for me. You have been waiting here for me all along. This is not by accident. There are no accidents evidentially. Everything happens for a reason. And you have just entered a world you hadn’t seen before. I'd like to give you a name, but you are just a stranger after all. Meet me. Enjoy the ride.

subleasing the heart.
We will always be competive with influence, and all I have to say is may the odds forever be in your favor and may you learn that being yourself is truly the unicorn of the world. Being the unicorn of the world is a hard task, and I know your heart is probably like what is this blog post even about? Well, I was helping a friend with her psychology homework, and instead of being a college student, I ended with some of the most poetic justice I think I Have ever done........ honestly, it was golden. It was like Maren's Morris singing My Church and sitting outside a dunkin with fall like weather..... Not that is a magical thing happening right now for me while I am writing this. If you know me, you know that song is my motto, my anthem, my literal everything in life. Just like realizing that your worth is so much more than a stupid boy who lied to you about the intentions he had. Does anyone else wanna be in their dream car right now singing this song at the top of their lungs? Fast forward two more years, and let's see if it happens. Moving on though back to the moral of this blog...... Stupid boys are everywhere, and you will have your heart broken more times than Starbucks spells your name wrong. Hearts getting torn is like Hallmark ending with a kiss at the end, inevitable. Listening to the sad songs, crying on the way home, watching all the sad movies to let it all out and being in the feelings has always gotten a way to make everything better. I feel like this blog is kind of all over the place and I think its the most raw I will ever be, maybe not .... I might write another one right after this and it will be completely unbroken, raw and it might help someone but right now if you looked at my posts, the only one I Have thats raw is the one about my sweet sweet momma...... I think that writing the raw unfiltered posts will get me no where sometimes, but its the thought that counts. I can not tell you how many broken hearts I Have had, and thought this will break me to shreds, but in the end somehow I am fine. Somehow I can breathe again, sometimes I can actually laugh at my own jokes...... It is funny how getting your heart broken can lead to bigger and brighter things. Also have you heard Maren Morris sing MY Church at SXSW? LEGENDARY>>>> ICONIC>>>>>>>...... and yes I meant for the greater than signs, because it is legendary and iconic that she did that..... Best break up song to be honest.... because windows down, this song blaring equals just pure happiness. But just know that no matter what is happening in your world whether it is a break up, losing friends, conflicts that are happening that you will always end up where you are suppose to be. I wanna leave you with a quote I came up with helping a friend out, and honestly I think its so mic drop worthy, that I hoped you enjoy this random blog post about knowing your worth, getting your heart broken, seeing the silver lining in things and everything else..... Enjoy this last paragraph because its iconic.... May the odds forever be in someones favor trying to resolve a conflict, and may you meet in the middle with someone. There is a silver lining in every thing, you just gotta pick the right crayon and color somewhat inside the lines to get a good picture out of it.

The Corona Diaries #3
THE IMPORTANCE OF STAYING CONNECTED DURING THE PANDEMIC: Humans thrive with social connection and physical contact. The increased risk of community transmission prevented people from attending social events and having physical contact with loved ones, unless they were already living in the same household. People from all over the world were struggling with this new guideline of social distancing with people outside of your household. To increase recreation involvement and socialization, we needed to be dependent on platforms such as Zoom. Even though places like the community centres and libraries were closed for in-person events and activities, they were still able to connect with each other virtually. Families and friends were encouraged to host virtual birthday parties, social events and weekly casual gatherings on Messenger or Zoom, as restaurants, bars, fitness clubs and amusement centres were closed to the public. Public events such as the Canada Day celebration and the annual Pride Parade had to occur online as opposed to at a public park or in a district such as downtown Toronto.

What we forgot
Seems like just yesterday when you walked down the street, could smile at whoever you want and not be afraid it would be mistrusted as something evil. Seems like just yesterday when I could openly love whoever I wanted and not have to worry about being shot, beaten or chastised.

The Trapped Extrovert
I am sure this sounds like a broken record to say I started this year believing this would be my year. That I would make certain things happen for me, achieve certain goals, and expand my group of friends which had, and still kind of is, non-existent.
