Reminiscent days fill my brain, leaving no room in my gray hard drive for present day thoughts. Life has become so stressful that my mind switches to auto run. You know, the mode of self-defense and survival. The overwhelming flood of everyday stresses triggers the auto reboot switch to pop onto Hemisphere Avenue, located south […]
It Takes a Village
April 22, 2018 by Leave a Comment
The beating drums, African horns, babies, mamas, grandmas, and great-grandmas surround the circle of life in the woods. A village is a community comprised of a cluster of women and men that fill the cavity to develop and strengthen the young. This is my understanding of family and the extension of… My neighborhood is full […]

Have you read one or both of my masterpieces??? If you have…share your thoughts. If you haven’t, head over to our bookstore, grab a copy, and when you’ve completed the book — stop by and leave your review. Please be gentle. I have feelings, and probably will stop writing if you don’t like […]
Envy-Ferno!
December 5, 2017 by
Have you ever felt explosive emotions of abandonment, mixed with misplaced perceptions that a rival has come to destroy your friendship with your good, good, girlfriend? It’s okay if you have.

June 2, 2017 by

Life’s Deadline

Scratch paper and forgotten drafts — I was searching through my various journals, post-it-notes and scratch pads and noticed the massive amount of deadline dates and to-do-lists that I’ve created, but not necessarily completed. As I turned the pages, an animated inscription etched invisibly across my forehead, outlining my hairline with the word loser. I […]

Untamed Discoveries — Some movies that didn’t necessary catch my attention when they first appeared on the big screen, have now raised my carefully sculpted eyebrows when I binge watch through my streaming accounts. It’s normally on a Friday or Saturday night, when plans fall by the waist side, either because I was no longer […]
Somebody Prayed for Me!
February 5, 2017 by
Each morning that I’m gifted with a new day of life, I jump start my day with a moment of silence, reflection and prayer — just before I settle into my daily routine of drop-offs, pick-ups, and drive-by errands. As a woman and mother, I find myself praying for the well being of others. I […]
Fumbling Into Fabulous Forties
November 22, 2016 by
Fabulously Fumbling — I unintentionally apologize for every creative move I make, every second thought…and step I take. In exactly 1 day, I’ll be stumbling into a new age realm; the fabulous 40s. I remember as a teenager thinking being 40 meant your life is over, your toes will become crooked and your smooth skin […]
