  • Becoming my Dream
    Everything I've done so far has been because I have an ambitious dream of becoming a writer and director one day. It seemed to lofty a goal at one point but I've been studying anyway. Even I felt I couldn't or wasn't talented enough I still moved forward. I told myself that if the time is gonna go by anyway then I might as well just do what I love even if nothing comes of it. Well I've been doing that. This podcast has been me practicing yelling a concise story. My Facebook group page has been me finding my voice and possible audience. My youtube channel has been me working editing. It's all for a reason. Now the season has begun to put pen to page, to create the world I've dreaming up in my head and prepare it so it cab finally come to fruition as a Netflix comedy drama series.
    I can't wait to take everyone along for that journey.

  • 2024; new year new start
    Being single is uncharted territory for me. I've been in a relationship since I was 19 years old. Lord help me navigate through. I've had to learn and acclimate quickly because I'm learning people will take advantage if you let them. It's sad but true. The road to hell is paved with good intentions and I'm sure people aren't being malicious but I'm just not used to this.

  • FREEDOM!
    I've left my relationship of 30 years.
    We met when I was 19 and he was 32. I literally fell head over heals, sight unseen. We were gonna go on a double date with my best friend and her manager from LACCMA. He said he had a friend who was recently single. I told him he could give him my number. He hadn't called for a month but when he did I was impressed because he wasn't a pushover like all the guys I was dating. He had backbone. I loved it ๐Ÿ˜ โค๏ธ
    We went on our blind date (before the internet & social media) on October 11, 1993 and have been together ever since.
    We've lived an amazing life together โค๏ธ
    Unfortunately, that chapter is over ๐Ÿ˜•

  • Paris Hilton's "The Memoir" & the end of my 30 yr marriage
    It took me almost a month to publish this because my life had suddenly unbearable to say the least. I had no idea what to do at the time but it's the week before New Year 2024 and I left. I'm never going back and I get to write a whole new adventure to the chapters that have been my life in a relationship since I was 19 yrs old. I'm happier than I've ever been in a long time. I'm still processing it all.

  • Love is Blind Season 5 is the best of them all.
    Lovev is Blind and other shows like it have become cultural phenomenon. It's so intriguing to watch people take the bull by the horns to find lasting love. It seems odd to find it through a reality TV program but it works for far many more people than anyone could've anticipated. Along the way we get to connections made, people getting vulnerable and people experiencing a whirlwind of emotions rapidly and in concentration.
    It's all beautifully fascinating when 2 souls collide, fall in love then marry. This season is pretty bad ass because it just takes you there to the depths of every single emotion you can have sitting down Watching TV.

  • Negative self talk can be overridden
    Every we struggle to keep positive. Life has so many twists and turns that's its hard to keep up. Our mission can be to pull the positive out no matter how hard. Some have it so much harder that counting our blessings is the only to know for sure we are truly blessed everyday despite life's twists and turns ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’ฏโค๏ธ

  • Group pages and their inability to be supportive
    This is a trigger based on my previous experience with the false premise of sisterhood on a Facebook group page. I believe in showing support for as many black people as I possibly can but I've noticed people do not reciprocate that same sentiment. The one crazy thing about social media is it shows you when people visit your profiles. People will go to your profiles and not like a thing. They won't comment. They won't subscribe but will still ask you to support them. My answer is no if you can't just support me too. What do I look like? You don't get something for nothing. I hate to have to be the one to say it but before today I haven't seen nit a single like from your name. Not 1. What does that tell me? It tells me your true character. So no. I'm not supporting without a tiny inference of support back.

  • The Internal Dialog of an Overachiever
    I was watching the Variety channel's youtube and watched Jennifer Coolidge interview Jeremey Allen. It's a series about actors interviewing actors. I was immensely intrigued about their conversation about their own insecurities even though they are so immensely talented. It made me think about my own struggles with how I feel I do when it comes to my work.

  • Skeleton Reacts on Tiktok and Maggiano's Little Italy
    She's my best friend who is now joining the rest of the world in enjoying social media. She has a unique sense of humor that makes all of us laugh and we are excited to share it with the rest of the world even though it causes so much controversy. It kinda makes it even funnier. We are having a ball watching the adverse reactions. It's just this woke culture is too hyper-vigilant and they just need to lighten up. Life isn't that serious and yall all need to learn how to take a step back and laugh more ๐Ÿ’ฏ
