Not Every Man Who Desires You Can Walk Beside You
Any man threatened by your independence, your intellect, your spirituality, your sensuality, or your refusal to play small is not for you. He may be fascinated by you. He may desire you. But he is not built to walk beside you. Men like that don’t want a woman; they want a dimmer switch. They want…

Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker, and All My Favorite Friends
What makes you feel nostalgic? Watching my favorite cartoons from childhood.

Missing My Mommy
My mama left this world 15 years ago today and it hasn’t been a day in those 15 years that I haven’t thought about her. Especially now since I’m getting older, going through perimenopause and it’s many questions I would love to ask her. Like did she cry like a broken hearted woman one minute…
