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

Home Sanctuary
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
Spring Equinox – Birthday Detox 2020
The spring equinox is the kick off to my favorite time of year, not just because it is the launch of a month long birthday celebration, but because it is my reset season. For the past 3-4 years I have had to manage a two week conference during my birthday/ spring equinox, which pushed my… Continue reading Spring Equinox – Birthday Detox 2020
Intentional Love & Loneliness
Talking about loneliness is just as taboo as talking about sex; especially on Valentines Day. To destigmatize loneliness, I will share my intimate dance with this feeling. After decluttering my home I took a magnifying glass to other areas of my life that needed decluttering (people, work, time and mental and physical health) . Deep… Continue reading Intentional Love & Loneliness

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
KonMari’d – My Way
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
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
KonMari & Letting Go
My head is throbbing from over-purging! I am emotionally and physically exhausted. As I sit here I stop and stand before you in my polka dot red and white onesie with my right-hand lifted, I confess to you that I am an organized hoarder! Yes, Kenya the one who organizes Swap Parties and purges with… Continue reading KonMari & Letting Go
