Hello blogverse people, how have you been? It’s been a hot minute or two since I’ve typed any words on this blog, to be honest, the thoughts spinning in my head have been all over the place. Gremlins causing chaos, especially Gizmo, making the want to write non existent. Life has been a shit show the last two years and it is difficult to smile during a shit show, even a fake smile doesn’t want…

These last two years have been nothing short of challenging; like brewing a hot cup of coffee, forgetting about it, reheating it and forgetting about it again. The endless cold coffee cycle on a busy day. My anxiety has made it’s peace with this horrible Corona virus and it’s endless variants that recharge the chaos. Honestly, let’s create new delicious variants of donuts to go with that cold…

Time… it’s the ultimate thief, stealing our minutes continuously and without remorse. Usually, it’s theft is rapid to a point where blinking may cause you to miss something. Yet, the last couple of months have seemed to switch gears. June and July were captured on video and edited to create a slow motion cut… You’d think that anyone who noticed the speed change would marvel in it, but there I…

Playing the Hero role came naturally, so easily the mask slipped on and fit like a glove. Helping others while placing your own pain on the back burner and your monsters under the bed. Hero, it became a way of life…it became an addiction.. However, that heroic mask has attachments that bare down on your shoulders with a weight that is ultimately unprecedented.. The level of expectations brings…

There it is shrinking in size, smaller and smaller as the speed of the car maintains its forward course… Watching this city, this state that helped shape me into the woman that I am today, become more and more blurred is placing anxiety in my stomach… Leaving the familiar for new adventures..new opportunities..new scenery and hopefully some mental clarity. This place, my place, has now…

Change…a concept in life that some excel at while others fear it. I, myself, have always adapted to new challenges and new surroundings quite well. I may be the quiet chica who stays under the radar, but that’s just my process of observing the current change that has entered my world and figuring out the method of madness that is required. Change, in itself, is not only a good thing, but it’s…

Rare… from day one this word has been the shadow attached to the bottom of my feet. A word embroidered with rules and regulations, an invisible contract that I, somehow, unknowingly signed. I used to hate the word Rare and I mean flat out hated it. As a kid, my mind tied the word Rare with confusion and even sadness. Tossed into a life where professionals spilled the worst comments… “You’re too…

What if we are meant to be, our two hearts meant to heal one another, our souls meant to electrify… What if we meant to make each other smile, you know, that ridiculously stupid happy smile… What if we were meant to make each other laugh until our cheeks blush red and our sides hurt… What if we’re meant to be create every beautiful moment together, to create an unforgettable life… What if we…

Short days slipping into long nights… Cold sunshine, rainy thunderstorms and snowy scenes,, a beautiful concoction all biting Jack Frost’s nose… Cozy sweaters, hoodies and fuzzy socks accompanied by mugs of hot cocoa and movie marathons make for the perfect weekend… Comfort food and conversations shared with the family as the fireplace crackles on… Winterverse is the season were time speeds…

How to Get Inspired by the Uninspiring — by Derra Nicole | Stoney deGeyter

I had the privilege of being a guest author over on Stoney DeGeyter’s blog…below is a snippet of my post as well as the link to read the full blog. Enjoy guys. ☕💜 “So, a few weeks back I was working on a blog post about defying the statistics attached to living with a rare disorder… then life slammed in, as it usually does. It started off simple enough, a small cold that I tend to come down…

2020 has departed, may it rest in pieces. 2021 has arrived and these fresh 23 days of this new chapter has been cautious as well as hopeful. Sure, these new strain of COVID that have hit are alarming, but between the vaccines that have rolled out and the continuation of staying safe, hopefully the virus will soon die out. Just last November our country voted for its President, a leader to lead…

This year, 2020, has been an extremely impactful punch to the gut, heart and mind. We all rang in this last year with aspirations, goals and plans. We had this hope embedded into the next 366, the year looked merry and bright. Who would have ever thought that the events that dominoed could ever be possible… From masks becoming part of our daily routines when stepping outside (heck they’re even…

You ever feel it?

That feeling of weight pressing on your mind…that gnawing sense in your gut…

The eerily comfortable calm before the downpour of the storm that causes every goosebump on your neck to rise with caution…

Something has to change…something’s gotta give…

I can’t shake whatever this is, I’m not even sure if this feeling is bad or good…it’s all on the fence..I need a clue…

So, here I am…

Sitting at my desk, sippin’ on a hot cup of coffee, listening to Zero by ID and working on a collab for Mental Health Awareness month…

Writing about this incredible journey…figuratively driving down memory lane, revisiting the old stomping grounds of my childhood and adulthood (thus far)…

It’s crazy how all of these memories hit fresh…to, in a sense, mentally relive the…

Hey You,

I have so much I want to tell you, so much I want to share. But, short and simple is how I’ll write this letter. Feeling every possible feeling in this moment, broken yet relieved, cowardice yet strong..

For some time I have fought the Monster, too long now that I think about it. Round after round we went, left hooks and southpaw punches thrown, in the end always striving to get…
