Blessings of a Bigger Body

Sometimes, traveling alone is like traveling on the moon. I am hyper-aware of what needs to be done to get to where I need to go. It’s as if someone turned up the dial on my brain and heart to feel things deeper, breathe in deeper, and see the world…

Ain’t no Shame in the Crying Game

I’m Grateful for Finally Feeling Gratitude

My grandmother used to say, “You catch more bees with honey than vinegar.” She also used to say, “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.” She was a complicated woman. These past few pandemic months, I’ve been trying really, really hard in bringing more gratitude in my…
