As most of the U.S. knows, here in the Southeast we had received quite a bit of snow in the last two weeks. This is not as rare as seeing a white crow but it is certainly not a normal occurance for us. I am grateful to live in a little odd-ball city that is, … Continue reading Shoveling Snow (and Ice)
Every day at 3 p.m., this notification from my calendar pops up. I put it in there probably a year and a half ago, maybe two now. Sometimes I dismiss it without thinking about why it is there. Other days it grabs me by the collar and stares deeply into my eyes forcing me to … Continue reading Need v/s Want
Ever thought that a “girl dinner” of a pickle, half a bag of cashews, and some peanut butter crackers was the ultimate “f*ck you” to the patriarchy? What if that is just a “f*ck you” to you? What if the real revolution looks different? Continue reading Dinner for One: Anti Girl Dinner

Besides kicking off a journey into spirituality, another big game changing move I made was to split myself into three people. Yep, correct.

I can tell you about how my … Continue reading Vunerability

I have to learn to stop asking the universe for things. I told someone at the beginning of last year, “You know what? If I lose Y, the world better be prepared for what comes out of me because the art that comes out is going to be something.” I heard the death nell in … Continue reading Asking
When I was growing up, it was my greatest desire to be “daddy’s little girl.” I knew I was my mom’s “girl” but I felt that since I came first in the line up, I had dibs on being the apple of my dad’s eye. Somehow, this dialogue was born that my sister, the secondborn, … Continue reading Made in His Image
That line from Shakespeare’s Hamlet struck me at my core the first time I remember hearing it from the stage. I had liked Shakespeare from the moment I was assigned the memorization of “Sonnet 116,” but this line may have cemented my devotion. “To thine own self be true.” A command. An imperative. A plea … Continue reading “To Thine Own Self Be True”
