This morning, my daughter commented that when it was light it would be wake up time. But I explained to her that mornings actually start in the dark. And even though I was sitting on the toilet at the time, I couldn't help but do a little jig of excitement for my new realization. G … Continue reading Mornings: The Dark Before the Light

Self-Actualization Realization
What does it mean that I am self-actualizing and crystallizing my thoughts on self-love while still deep down sabotaging myself at the core and reliving my worst unhealthy patterns. I guess I’ve evolved to a new level. I guess I’m at a new vantage point. I guess I’m challenging myself in new ways. I really … Continue reading Self-Actualization Realization
Black is Beautiful

Of course, my first reaction was to second guess my recent actions...Was it the F bomb I dropped a … Continue reading You Got This!

As in my nutrition career, it gives me great … Continue reading Humans Are Complex

Projected Intimacy
A challenge I had when dating was that whenever I would share my writings with the guy, I felt closer to them. Even if it turned out they didn't read it in the end, I immediately felt close just by merely sending it there way. Why did I connect to easily? Was my soul reaching … Continue reading Projected Intimacy
