It’s been sometime but here we are. When someone ask, how are you? We are so quick to give a conditioned answer. I’m good, I’m fine, I’m okay, I’m well. But no, really how are you? Breath in and let it all out... I’m listening.

Enjoy the journey, stop and smell the roses, and don’t worry you’re exactly where you’re suppose to be.

The lies we tell ourselves and the lies we are told by others.

I should name this “as always” because of how many times I used those words. But HELLO!! I’m still HERE, still kicking! Thank you for sticking with me. You just listening means the world to me!

Shit happens

Don’t be so quick to write people off, maybe you’re just not in the same season.

Conversation with my sister Mahawa. I remember when we wouldn’t even step outside without our hair done. If my hair isn’t done the days canceled. Fast forward to now I see my hair as just that hair, not even mine. Just something that’s on my scalp. We must step back and think about what we are giving our energy to. Not only with hair but with everything. We as people must die from comparing and imposing our expectations and ideas on others on things. Beauty is not to be imposed, it’s to be created”.

Meeting someone new can be so exciting! It’s a good practice to start off on the right foot, honest, and transparent. How do you accomplish this without coming off too strong? I feel just being who you are can be the answer to this. Because no matter how prepared you aim to be, everything happens on its own. Let’s enjoy the moment and not focus on things we can’t control.
