  • Auntie Liz

    I have once again been made an aunt, this time by my sister. There is nothing like seeing your niece (or nephew) for the first time. I’ve been blessed with two blood nieces, one of whom entered the world today. As I sit and write this I haven’t met her yet, but I know I

  • Book Month

    It’s finally here. The month my book comes out. Never thought I’d say those words. Especially given the shit I’ve been through in the last 2 years. But anyway, It’s book month. Which is a little bit exciting, but also terrifying. Mostly I’m not sure what I expect out of this experience. I don’t know

  • The Moment You Realize

    Have you ever had a moment when you realize that you’ve done the thing you’ve been working so hard to do? Like you’ve been working towards this abstract goal, and you finally reach it, but you don’t realize it right away and when it hits you you just completely lose it. I’m there. I’m right

  • Plants

    I’m kinda like a houseplant. I need some sun, water, and some food and I’d really rather you just leave me alone. The problem is I’m a houseplant I’ve neglected, and I’m struggling to survive. I love my plants. Though, I’ve managed to kill quite a few. Even ones that I’m not really sure how

  • The next few months

    I’m having wrist surgery the first Friday in May. I’ve had a torn tendon for a few years now, and conservative treatment only brings temporary relief. So, I am biting the bullet and going in to get it surgically repaired. They will also be killing the nerve so that way if I re-injure the tendon

  • Surviving Versus Thriving

    I think we all know the difference between just surviving versus thriving where you are. I can honestly saw it’s been a hot minute since I felt like I was thriving and not just simply surviving. But when you live in a place where you feel safe, and when you have the ability to do

  • In my 9-5, I don’t think that people understand what I actually do. It’s not just shits and giggles and happy thoughts. It’s a lot of hard work, time, and document review. It is truly a lot of hours just going through and figuring out if what you’ve given me is helpful or not. And

  • The World Today

    You ever just have the urge to cry? And I don’t mean just a small cry, but a whole body sob. To just let it all out and not care who sees or what anyone thinks. Because the last few weeks have left me feeling like it is the only way to feel less overwhelmed.

  • Chaos Ensues

    As per usual, my life has been nothing short of chaos. My mad dash to the finish line in order to finish this book has me up all hours of the night. While also navigating the feelings of acceptance of the state of our world, it makes for long days and sometimes sleepless nights. Because

  • Family

    I was having a decent week. I couldn’t wait for the weekend so I could shut my brain off from work and get a few things done around the house. Well. Then my brother called – he had been in a car accident and was asking me to fly halfway across the country to be
