What A Time To Be Alive…Part 4

2014…I began having issues with the HVAC system. My finances were shitty. I lost my support through my grandparents and aunt because life shifted for them, too, so I could not afford to replace it. The system was old, the townhouse was built in the late 80s, and the systems the Home Warranty companies were… Continue reading What A Time To Be Alive…Part 4

What A Time To Be Alive…Part 3

After learning I was pregnant the same night I graduated from undergrad in 2003, I knew I wasn’t going to be able to work 12-hour shifts as a nurse since that meant I was either going to miss my baby waking up or putting them to bed and I didn’t want to miss either. When… Continue reading What A Time To Be Alive…Part 3

Yesterday’s Fitbit/“Awaiting Carrier (FedEx) Pickup”/The Devil Is Busy/Women’s History/Competitive Spirit Chronicles…

I made it through last week’s Spring Break with y’all’s nephew, his gaming schedule and expensive eating habits, only to get home Sunday night and notice the face of my Fitbit was coming off on one side. I was too tired to investigate so I rested and decided I would deal with it yesterday morning.… Continue reading Yesterday’s Fitbit/“Awaiting Carrier (FedEx) Pickup”/The Devil Is Busy/Women’s History/Competitive Spirit Chronicles…

You Better Celebrate Your Work…before a white woman takes the credit 💁🏾‍♀️

Many will agree that social media has created a platform for people to constantly compare themselves, show only their “good sides”, and for people to gain virtual courage. Others will talk about how this current generation posts too much, and in fact, I have a shirt that reads, “You Post Too Much.” However, while I… Continue reading You Better Celebrate Your Work…before a white woman takes the credit 💁🏾‍♀️

“Thank You For Being A Friend…”

We ended 2021 losing America’s Golden Girl, Betty White. We learned today of the loss of a father/friend/mentor to many, as well as, an incredible history maker…Sidney Poitier. Before losing both of them, I lost a dear friend by the name of Ms. Peggy. If you want to learn a little more about her, she… Continue reading “Thank You For Being A Friend…”

A Change Is Gonna Come

Having a relationship with Kellie Easton results in me: 1. Being in spaces I didn’t even know existed. 2. Showing up because I know it must be important if Kellie invited me and 3. Never really quite knowing what those spaces entail. Today though…starting early this morning, I was in a space that offered some… Continue reading A Change Is Gonna Come

“Will you walk into my parlour?” said the Spider to the Fly…Part 3

I later learned from the sister and the niece about all she had been dealing with, and how they were in search of someone to make sure she ate when she returned home. In the midst of trying to find someone, the sister said she was going to keep her for the time being. I… Continue reading “Will you walk into my parlour?” said the Spider to the Fly…Part 3

“Will you walk into my parlour?” said the Spider to the Fly…Part 2

One set of neighbors included a mother and daughter who were memorable for their smiles, calmness and fancy attire. The daughter retired from teaching in New Jersey and returned home to care for her mother. I saw the daughter at Sam’s in 2016. She didn’t recognize me so I had to explain where we met.… Continue reading “Will you walk into my parlour?” said the Spider to the Fly…Part 2
