The Time For Warnings Is Over
Since before the Civil Rights Movement began, we’ve been stuck in a perpetual state of “Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, and the other leaders of the movement are dead, so the fight is over.” People have been genuinely acting like what’s happening in America, and also in Canada, England, Ukraine and other places around the…

Do You Love Yourself?
For years now I have been talking about loving myself, but I don’t think until now I really thought about what it means to truly “love” yourself. I’m talking behind the scenes, when no one can see you or hear what you are thinking, do you love yourself then? Do you look in the mirror…

What! I Thought This Blog Was About Mental Health!
Okay, that’s fair. I don’t share a lot of stories about my personal life and what I am going through these days, I hold a lot to my chest and I don’t really talk about mental health the way I did when I first started this blog, but to be fair that was 5 years…

Critical Race Theory and What it Really Means
I think too many people that are “in office,” have forgotten their place in the world. I think that politicians in general, have forgotten that the reason the various royal families around the world put them in charge, is because they come from a long line of people who promised to work, for the people.…

Time To Get To Work….
I like many “strong” people have been told that I am strong so often, I quite often forget that I am allowed to ask for help, and because people see me as so strong, they usually don’t believe me when I tell them I am not okay. People want to believe that the ones in…

Did I Do It Right?
Years ago I said that celebrities beyond their power, wealth, and fame, are human beings with the right to speak on whatever topic they are so moved to speak upon. I wasn’t wrong, but I am curious, are we going too far with the cancel culture? Well, that depends on who you ask, and who…

Take a look at your life, and ask yourself some questions, this works whether you are single or not. These are the questions I’m asking myself right now, and honestly, the…

What Makes You Happy? Enjoy it While You Still Have Tme
We are O B S E S S E D with fame. We crave it, we desire it, we fathom what it would be like to have it all and be anything we want, but the truth is that the cage may be prettier, but no matter how high you get in the world of…

Dear Monday
I’ve been stuck watching The Royals, with little more to do than watch television and write. And I’ve been thinking about relationships. We do so much harm to each other, in an effort to pursue what we think will make us happy. As human beings, we struggle so much with emotions, and we don’t talk…

You Asked For This…That’s Why You
“Why Me?” This is how Ice Cube starts this song, and every time I hear that line, I laugh, because the first response that comes to my mind is “because you asked for this.” When you work towards a goal, and then something bad happens, like a person getting murdered or dying, we often wonder…

What Does “Systemic Racism” Mean?
“Blame the Patriarchy,” is a phrase that white, right-wing folks use, to make fun of us who are telling you that yes, we are in fact, blaming the patriarchy. For four hundred years, white men – in particular – have had control of this planet, and they are fighting for it with everything they have.…

Connection, Collaboration, Motivation
I have been thinking about what I want this year to be about. These are the three words that I’ve chosen. I want to connect with others, collaborate with them, and motivate others to see that the darkness that we’re struggling with, isn’t as heavy as it feels. There have been so many days in…
