I have chosen joy and my home as my sanctuary. If I am not at work or stretching out my ache bones in a yoga class or dancing away my stresses on someone's dance floor you can probably find me chillin' in my sanctuary. Now that I have KonMari'd (yeah I added a "d" to… Continue reading KonMari’d – My Way
In honor of mental health awareness month and in the spirit of oversharing, which I have the tendency to do, I have invited my therapist/sex therapist, Lamarr Lewis, to discuss how our mental health shapes our dating experiences. To make it in this new dating era one must be mentally and spiritually equipped with the… Continue reading Mental Health & Dating
During a two day visit to Portland, my dearest mentee, Surbhi, showed me the beauty of sacred spaces. Embodying hygge, she had her very own sacred space in a living room nook. Sipping tea, excited to be once again connected sharing time and space we reflected on the power behind having a peaceful space to… Continue reading Sacred Spaces
Not only did 2020 dispel the viscous rumor that I don't have a green thumb and graciously taught me how to grow all things green, it unveiled the power behind cultivating intentionality, self-love and solitude. As a self-proclaimed serial monogamous, lover of love, flirt of all flirts and a true dating enthusiast, in 2018 I… Continue reading Cultivating Intentionality, Self-Love + Solitude
During one of my daily check-ins with mom (a digression from our outburst of laughter and news updates from her on R. Kelly and Trump) we got on the topic of how many places I have lived. Not states or countries, but actual residences. The total was well over twenty, maybe 25ish! Last year my… Continue reading Home Sanctuary
Being that I am all over the place I could not just sit my butt down and be in stillness during quarantine. Besides staying healthy and sane I had thangs to do, visions to manifest and goals to achieve. Little did I know that my trip to LA in January for a c-suite workshop would… Continue reading I’M CERTIFIED
It's fall y'all! As the days become shorter and my time playing in the sun lessens, it feels like I tripped over my own feet and fell right into this season. I didn't see it (fall) coming! Did you? Fall is when I take a big international trip and bask in the slower pace of… Continue reading Hygge: Fall-ing Into Peace
The death of Chadwick Boseman was a shocker. Unlike most people I didn't post a photo or voice my pain. I went inward, like I do with most tragedies. If you haven't noticed, I am always a week, two or three late in my responses. Don't take my silence to mean I am not grieving or… Continue reading Be Your Biggest Advocate
Therapy entered into my life as a child of divorce. It was always an option for me. Ultimately, obtaining a Masters of Social Work was my way of contributing to the world. My skills have helped others, but equally I benefited from self-work with my therapist. I am able to take the calls from so… Continue reading Therapy – Get You Some!
Trauma and Loss was about healing. The blog stats were off the charts, some who read were touched, empowered and inspired. Others were concerned, speechless and heartbroken. The day after the post I opened Lion's Roar (my Buddhist magazine) to an article titled, " The Healing Power of the Truth by Eve Ensler. Y'all.....she was… Continue reading The Healing Process
We close shut our eyes and pretend the impact of past experiences are closed chapters, yet residual pain hibernates. Triggers are often little whispers of our suffering. The long-term impact of trauma on our physical being, in most cases, we silence. In an effort to find my way through the suffering I exposed life’s clutter… Continue reading Trauma and Loss
