Envy-Ferno!

December 5, 2017 by savvydiva

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. It’s called Jealousy. The word itself, when spoken loudly can make someone shriek in disagreement and denial, because one doesn’t want to be labeled […]

Somebody Prayed for Me!

February 5, 2017 by savvydiva

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 […]

Stumbling Into Fall

November 14, 2016 by savvydiva

Stumbling. Fumbling. Fall. Colorful leaves, warm, rich colors, and mild temperatures are the best combined elements that ignite my senses during the autumn season. I’m a Fall baby, and I wholeheartedly embrace it. The weather is in transition mode where the mornings call for a lightweight jacket or thick sweater; and the late evenings prompt […]

GUIL-TEETH

October 23, 2012 by savvydiva

A friendly alert blazed through my phone which was buried in my purse, setting off reminder tones of an upcoming appointment I scheduled three months ago. It always amazes me how fast time flies, especially when you’re having a blast eating foods and drinking beverages that have been placed on the “do not eat” list […]

Tardy…but Hair!

December 20, 2011 by savvydiva

My seven year-old son was ecstatic about his role in his school’s Christmas play, and the morning of his performance was the same morning I would reveal my new hairstyle. I morning conversation included his stage fright, his cool outfit and his calming muse…me; okay, okay, and his dad. Sonny Boy and I agreed that […]

Hygiene and Hand Washing, It’s a Requirement!

June 17, 2011 by savvydiva

I’m often amazed at grown individuals (mostly women) who refuse to utilize the free water and available soap (sometimes scented) to wash their hands after spending a few moments alone in the bathroom stall. It’s none of my business what they have done in those individual stalls, but it becomes my business when they walk […]

10 Things Girlfriends Should Never Share!

May 23, 2011 by savvydiva

To have a set of girlfriends you can rely on for support through every important milestone in our lives is a blessing. Even when you’re in need for a shopping spree, you have a set of girlfriends you will call to support your shoe addiction, or your pocketbook infatuation. Girlfriends share everything, sometimes too much. […]

Bathroom Stalls – Does Size Really Matter?

April 14, 2011 by savvydiva

Is it me…or should there be mandatory size regulations for bathroom stalls? I believe routine potty time should exclude concussions. For the past few weeks, I’ve had a cloud of wonderment hovering over my head, trying to decipher the reason for my discomfort during my personal time of release. I know my head is big […]

Hoarders — Why do we hold onto things we don’t use?

April 28, 2010 by savvydiva

I’m surrounded by items that have begun to pile up (small controllable piles) as unnecessary frustrations. Perhaps if I’d learn to recycle more at an earlier age, I wouldn’t harbor these thoughts. The three main items that force me to grind my teeth on a daily basis are… Underwear – my underwear are categorized under two headings…menstrual cycle […]

Jealousy

February 11, 2009 by savvydiva

If you haven’t realized by now, Jealousy is universal. Racially, the emotion is definitely universal amongst the female gender. I have experienced dozens of jealousy issues with my girlfriends, and it definitely doesn’t discriminate with age. You think after you’ve stormed through the high school and college years, you no longer have to worry yourself […]

Unrealistic Reality

January 11, 2009 by savvydiva

I snuggled with my man, burrowing my face in his chest, tickling his nose with strands of my untamed hair, and realized I was missing the Real World. In a panic, realizing I’ve already missed eight minutes, I jumped from his embrace to find the remote. Now, to appreciate the addiction of the unrealistic version […]
