Greetings and salutations!!! 2020 and all the confusion continues, and I'll definitely talk more about Pride and Black Power in a subsequent entry. Moving on is a momentous step--no matter how it's done. Ending relationships, taking leaps forward without a safety net, but having the training necessary to do what is required in order to...

USE YOUR WORDS!!!
This is going to be a very short, very direct, and very punchy entry (well, short is a relative term for me). During this time of quarantine and pandemics, we all realize that life is short. It can change at the drop of a dime. Everything that we've known can be upended. Now is not... Continue Reading →
Brideshead Revisited: Part 1
Greetings and salutations!! It's been an incredibly long time since I've blogged, and I apologize for that. My blog has mainly been therapeutic and as I've continued to heal and grow, my desire to write has become less and less. That being said, I find myself with a lot more time than I used to...

Tales from the couch: Part 8

The reason why this session was contentious was because she pointed out... Continue Reading →

Tales From the Couch: Part 2
Greetings and salutations! I had another good session today. It's amazing how a different perspective can provide so much clarity and insight into what's going wrong and what's going right. I post these so that what I learn is fresh in my mind and I can refer back to them. So with that being the... Continue Reading →
To Be Or Not To Be…*trauma warning: suicide*
To be, or not to be, that is the question:Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to sufferThe slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,Or to take arms against a sea of troublesAnd by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,No more; and by a sleep to say we endThe heart-ache and the thousand natural shocksThat flesh is... Continue Reading →
