  • Scrambled Eggs, Lightly Dusted

    I’ve been watching MeTv Toons for over a year and whenever I hear the familiar voices of Magilla Gorilla, Woody Woodpecker, and so many others, I’m taken aback to living at 7246 South University back in the seventies. I am a little girl again. It’s Saturday morning and I’m nagging my mother to make me…

  • Music, Music, Music

    Three years ago, I went to a concert solo—and I had an absolute blast! I went to see Duran Duran, one of my favorite 80s bands of all time. And of course, the night was made even better by the fact that one of my many “don’t-know-they’re-my-men” crushes was there: the band’s lead guitarist, John…

  • Double Nickels Coming Up Shortly

    In just a few months, I’ll be 55 years old—and I can’t wait. To some people, that probably sounds strange, because society is obsessed with youth and soaked in ageism. But honestly? I don’t give a flying fuck. I’ve lived. I’ve survived. I’ve been through storms most people couldn’t imagine. Health scares. The heartbreak of…

  • The Magic Remote

    The dating scene sucks. Like, majorly. If you scroll through social media, you’ll see a lot of women just tapping out—done with the games, done with the nonsense, chilling like a pack of villains, secretly plotting to take over the damn world. But let’s not lie to ourselves: every woman gets horny. At least I…

  • Are you seeking security or adventure? Am I seeking security or adventure? A mixture of both because in order to go on adventures, one needs money. Which is a form of security. I mean, how will I go on a tour of Europe if I’m broke? Money means I will have the means to travel…

  • Downtown

    Sitting here thinking about how when I was a little girl, I thought downtown Chicago was the most magical place in the world. So many people to watch, and stores filled with stuff I loved, like dolls and books. The skyscrapers and the restaurants. Wig stores😂🤣💀. Everything in the world to a little black girl…

  • Self Reflection Friday

    I am a woman who is a big kid at heart. I still love cartoons and collect Barbie dolls and at times, I have wondered if this was normal. So I did some reflection from within and decided that yes, it’s normal to like cartoons and collect dolls as an adult but…. What does that…

  • How important is spirituality in your life? How important is spirituality in my life? Spirituality is not just important to me—it is essential. It is the thread that weaves meaning through my days, the quiet knowing that I am connected to something greater than myself. It grounds me when the world feels uncertain and lifts…
