In just a few days you will be gone from me. Not from this earth, but your physical presence. And although I carry you in my heart and my soul, my senses ache for you. My eyes weep for you.My nose misses your smell even though you’ve played all day. My hands miss your hugs… Continue reading Mom Miles Away

Tug of War
Since I was 17 years old I’ve had a job. I’ve worked in fast food, waiting tables and been a therapist for the last 10 years. I love having a job and making my own money. ‘Cause at the end of the day, secure the bag, sis! In my twenties I never questioned going to… Continue reading Tug of War

Friendships and Pandemics
This year, I like so many others, had hopes and plans for this year to be the best yet. We all had trips planned, events to go to, friends to visit and gatherings to attend. Nothing out of the ordinary. Until all of a sudden the idea of such things are definitely out of the… Continue reading Friendships and Pandemics
Brown Skin.
Whew. Here we go. Before 2020 everyone was saying this is my year. 2020 is about to be LIT. Hot girl summer all 2020. 2020 is going to be the best year yet. Baby!!! We were all wrong. 2020 has come in here and put the brakes on for everything we had planned. But isn’t… Continue reading Brown Skin.
