Perhaps I’m feeling a bit more at ease with the universe, and therefore, emanating positive vibes from every atom I am composed of. I just came back from a 4 day vacation in the beautiful country of Jamaica where I enjoyed the food, soaked up some sun, and got hit with a surprise proposal during […]

There are days where I bite off so much more than I could chew that I honestly should be given the Heimlich maneuver 24/7. It’s almost amazing I haven’t choked on my responsibilities and reached an inevitable death from taking on so many tasks at one time. I have always loathed the idea of putting […]

What an incredibly wide array of emotions I endured over the past week. Social media can be an immeasurably powerful tool, but it can also be quite dangerous as well. Reminds of the eloquent speech by Ben Parker in Spider Man when he says “With great power, comes great responsibility.” And while he is definitely […]

The times are unprecedented and the phrase ‘the new normal’ is being tossed around quite a bit as of late. One way courses being implemented in grocery stores, mandatory requirements on facial coverings and masks when out in public, all businesses deemed nonessential shut down for the foreseeable future.

Everyday a lesson learned and once again a new chance to make things right or repeat your history of making the same fucking mistakes over and over like a a repetitive conundrum of disaster. We are all currently living in Lemony Snicket’s series of unfortunate events and the entire world is in disarray. I’m sure […]

If you are a resident of planet Earth, your life is currently being overrun by an inundation of information in regards to the current Coronavirus pandemic. Whether it is the influx of infographics, advice, and statistics posted by the government and official health corporations, the social media “expert” who feels compelled to give their opinion […]

It’s beginning to look a lot like fuck this. Call me the Grinch, call me Ebenezer, call me whatever, I just don’t care anymore. I am just so tired and exhausted from this holiday, cooking all the food, cleaning, putting in extra working hours, keeping up with my fight camp training, trying to secure the […]

We’re approaching a brand new decade, act like it. We need to progress as a people and leave the petty, undermining, and offended bullshit in the past. The roaring 20s are upon us, and it would be awesome to emulate another period of growth and expansion as with the previous century without the depressive economic […]
Read moreAin’t Nobody Got Time For That
There is honestly such an abundance of negativity in the world and I simply refuse to be a part of it. Everywhere I turn there is someone being critical about what another individual is doing with their life, and all the ungrateful and unappreciative attitudes that go with it. We are all so consumed with […]

Sometimes, I just can’t. I can’t seem to muster up the willpower to play the dutiful housewife or doting mom and I just want to be left alone with my dog snuggled up on the couch watching Netflix and eating crackers and cheese. Maybe even throw a glass of wine into the mix if I’m […]
