I love using my Libra-inspired love of symmetry to edit the photos and videos that I make. My whole life, I’ve used this skill AGAINST myself. Perfectionism. Orthorexia. Fear of not fitting in. Now I’m channeling my gifts to produce beauty; instead of subjugating beauty to harsh judgment. I’m on the road the healing, y’all.

Multilingual Soul Speak
They say bilingual children start speaking later but when they do, they speak with fuller, richer language. Or similarly how quiet toddlers that speak later at times start off speaking with full sentences. I feel like I am multilingual in a sense. I speak academic, I speak 9-5 job life. But I also speak spirituality … Continue reading Multilingual Soul Speak
Beyoncé’s Decisiveness
I love the YouTube videos that show her speaking from her heart on what feels right for the presentation of her show and what does not. She has a vision. It speaks to her. She wants to manifest it. She makes decisions. Even if it’s hard. She trusts her gut. And she commits. Dang girl. … Continue reading Beyoncé’s Decisiveness
Spoken Word and Education
I haven't done much formal research into this yet, though my cousin told me to look up Lori Baudino. I've been listening to a lot of rap recently. Again. Damn, these people are talented. Dude, let's reform education so that people have the option of learning through spoken word and rhythm. In fact, that's actually … Continue reading Spoken Word and Education
Twists and Turns and Staying with Truth
Last night I went to a stand up open-mic to do stand up comedy for the first time since 2014 (which was the year I did stand up ;)). I had all my notes prepped. My hubby and I ended up getting there an hour earlier than when one signs up for the stand up … Continue reading Twists and Turns and Staying with Truth
Mornings Are Mine
Last week, I blogged about my early mornings, as well as my self-expression and creative outlets. Truth is, my greatest creativity comes in the early morning! The first time I was introduced to the concept of waking up at 5 am was when I read Don't Sweat the Small Stuff... by Richard Carlson, PhD. I … Continue reading Mornings Are Mine
Beyoncé Appeal
I love how performers flirt with their audience. Like literally, 'you can look, don't touch' (Best Friend - Saweetie ft. Doja Cat lyrics—their performances are too strippery for my taste, but that's a great line.) I've always wanted to be a performer. I've also always wanted people to pay attention to me. The problem is, … Continue reading Beyoncé Appeal
My Flow
I'm so grateful I have a job that doesn't drain me of all my creative energy and leaves some left over for my beloved hobbies. It even ignites my creativity in its own ways. And I find my role as a nutrition educator and counselor quite fulfilling. Do you feel you have energy left over … Continue reading My Flow
Why School Kills Creativity Part 3
Really this may as well just be the title of my blog site, y'all. This comes up so much for me, if but indirectly. Usually it's pretty direct though. I just ordered oak tag on Amazon. I had flashbacks of doing a book report in 5th grade. But this ain't no book report. This is … Continue reading Why School Kills Creativity Part 3
In the Words of Doja Cat…
I have Doja Cat to thank for my becoming more confident in my self-expression. When I watched her interview with MTV a couple months back she said she is doing what she loves and she is so happy others enjoy it—cuz she gonna keep on producing her style. The thing is, the video she made … Continue reading In the Words of Doja Cat…
