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

Post Decluttering Blessings
My New Home Foot to the peddle and an unquenched desire for substantive change, my 2018 post-Thanksgiving drive back to Atlanta was far from boring. Ears glued to my JB wireless speaker (car too old for Bluetooth capability), I had story time with Marie Kondo's audiobook The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up. I soaked it… Continue reading Post Decluttering Blessings
Fabric Joy
After giving away two large bins of art supplies and probably the equivalent size of three body bags of fabric, I silently and privately mourned the loss. Luckily, in the practice of the KonMari Method™ I kept all things that bring me joy, which in short is two large college size trunks of fabric! Joy..................… Continue reading Fabric Joy
My Namesake
This summer I took my 20th trip to Africa and my first trip to my namesake, Kenya. I decided this year I had to check it off the list because I was tired of the annoying question, ”Have you ever been to Kenya?” When I reply “No” people look at with me with such dismay… Continue reading My Namesake
Be Still……
I’m All Over the Place, so being still ain't a strength of mine! Stillness has been forced up on me since last August. It was as if God said to me “child sit your butt down somewhere and listen; be still.” I did as I was told and listened and impatiently embraced stillness. It was… Continue reading Be Still……

Don’t Be Careless
Don't Be Careless With Other's Hearts “Be the one who nurtures and builds. Be the one who has an understanding and a forgiving heart one who looks for the best in people. Leave people better than you found them.” - M. J. Ashton As the media spreads red hearts and roses across our screens and… Continue reading Don’t Be Careless
Part II – Celebrating Black Men
After hearing Kameron Corvet’s live performance of “Led Me to You,” I bought the CD and played the song on repeat for a month straight. No NPR on the drive to and from work — only Kameron singing sweet melodies in my ear. The song gave me a little bit of hope during my five months break from men and dating. The lyrics were a reminder that every failed relationship serves a purpose, and just maybe each… Continue reading Part II – Celebrating Black Men
Hygge: Kenya Style
In my last post I wrote about the Danish practice of hygge. So that people aren't left wondering "what is Kenya talking about now," I decided to go into more detail for y'all! Three years ago I made a career change and it feels like for two of those years my personal life became secondary… Continue reading Hygge: Kenya Style
