In a world that congratulates self-promotion and personal branding. We get lost in a rabbit hole of videos of strangers trying to peak our interest. It seems in this high paced culture we aim to rule, rather than serve. This builds a sense of safety and community. It creates power, control, and promotes personal status. … Continue reading Personal Hustle culture

My best friend, Paige, sent me an uplifting email today. I also discovered national long distance best friend day was today.

The path forward
I am flawed and not perfect, and I have made mistakes. I am also resilient, and kind. I am enough, I am worthy exactly as I am. Negativety has flooded my life lately, in one form or another. I have walked through more fires before and I am still here. Someone I once considered close … Continue reading The path forward

Calling the Shots
Lately, my life has been disheveled. If only powerful men faced the same scrutiny as women do in life... then maybe, just maybe, the world would have a chance to get better. I chose my path in my own personal life, and I accept what will happen, because I am holding myself accountable. I have … Continue reading Calling the Shots
Blue Light Glasses

I have been willing to compromise my identity, create new surroundings from nothing. I have perfect vision, once told that my vision was so good I had depth perception. It is probably … Continue reading Blue Light Glasses
