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.

Each year I make some very specific commitments to myself. They’re not New Years resolutions per se. They tend to be anchored to my birthday and are borne of introspection and a desire to make changes to certain aspects of my life that I find to be inadequate or unfulfilling. As a result of these promises to myself, I’ve made progress towards becoming more the … Continue reading Now…
In my country, when a person is beset by a run of bad luck, elders will comment that maybe they killed someone’s white fowl (chicken). I’m not entirely sure what it means, other than that you’ve done something to provoke someone into wishing or orchestrating a series of unfortunate events in your life. For me, 2019 was the year of the White Fowl Chronicles. I … Continue reading Living and Learning…
Hi there! Let me just preface this by saying that I love you. Honestly. Thanks for reading my blog and just all around being an awesome person. Keep that shit up! But today, today, I’m going to hurt your feelings a little. You know that shit you’re going through? The things that you’re waiting for God or the universe or whatever divine principle you believe … Continue reading Manifest Your Own Damned Destiny…
I should be baking today. I should have been baking since last week. I couldn’t. I’ve been flat and I couldn’t figure out why until today. It’s amazing how the subconscious mind notes and reacts to events and memorials even before the conscious mind can acknowledge them. I spend a lot of time on Twitter these days. I’ve found a small tribe on a platform … Continue reading The Path is the Destination
