I occasionally escape from Twitter to Tik Tok in an attempt to preserve what’s left of my mental health and wow, it’s been a trip. It’s an interesting space and similar to the Twitterverse, like-minded people eventually find each other and as you watch videos and like content, your ‘For You’ page can start to get … um… very specific. So it wasn’t a complete … Continue reading Tell Me What You Really Kink…
My own choice is a renewal of my faith and spirituality and to reclaim my personal and individual connection with my Creator. My life is simply better when I nurture that connection and give it the space and support that it needs to flourish. I accept my responsibility as a human being on this planet, to be a steward, to protect, preserve and replenish. Continue reading Watch Your Self…
Your pain is real and your desire for reprieve is valid and you have nothing to feel guilty about in wanting to get relief. Continue reading Relief
I want more people to join in the conversation. I am very open about my issues. In some ways because I’m willing to be and in others because I have to be. Doctors (and people in general, really) can’t see pain. So it’s easy for them to doubt what you are saying, to question what you are experiencing. For the ones who have seen me when I’m having my period, even some of them don’t quite understand. I can try to explain what is happening in my body, what I’m feeling, the near feral desire to simply remove my uterus from my person so the pain can just… go… away. And still, other than persons who also experience these kinds of pains, many don’t get it and even more don’t care. But I talk and I share and I am letting go of the shame. I take my days when I need them. I have spent so many days crying in office bathrooms, on office floors. Because I pushed myself to show up for work when I needed to take a break for me. So, I keep talking, I keep sharing. Continue reading I’m In Pain… Period
So much change is needed. So many improvements. So much work to be done. But there is no unity. There is no will. There is no deliberate coordinated action from those with legislative and decision-making power. And so, here we are. In a state of constant danger. Following in the footsteps of some of the worst countries in the world. Governed by those who care little about what happens to the rest of the population as long as they are comfortable and have the opportunity to get richer. I am tired.

I did a little poll on Twitter the other day. It’s an election year in my country and it always makes me very pensive. I live on a tiny little island that is known by the whole world, influences sports, culture & music, is populated by the most amazingly talented people on the planet, but is still plagued by violence and inequity that just manages … Continue reading Tis The Season…
Very few people become a billionaire by accident… Sure, there are tech start-ups that managed to create a product, app or service that took off and caused the company value to increase exponentially. And some of those tech entrepreneurs managed to sell their start up, that probably cost them thousands to start, for millions or even billions… But, by and large, when a new company … Continue reading The Bare Minimum…
Some people are poor because they’ve made poor choices. But far more people live in poverty due to systemic issues and/or historical legacy than due to a pattern of financial misbehavior. Most poor people were born into poverty and don’t have the knowledge or resources to escape it – J D Roth, 2018. I’ve been promising this post for the longest while now but my … Continue reading Yes They Can… But They Don’t Want To…
