Where I’ve Been…
August 7, 2022It has been so long since I wrote anything that I’m not even sure if I still know how. This last year has really thrown me for a loop. Just when you think things can only go up, I was faced with the hardest challenge yet that knocked me so far down I didn’t think I would get back up. Without getting into too much detail, my son went through a very scary mental health crisis. I felt helpless and alone. I feared the worst and had to dig deep to find the strength to support him through his darkest…
Wants vs. Needs
I’m beginning to think that I’ve past the point of no return. I have entered the sweet spot of enjoying my freedom living the single life. Trust me it takes a lot to get here but I’ve finally settled into…
Who Needs a Man?
It has been months since my last post and I was beginning to question if I’d ever write again or have anything to write about. Since I wrote about my failed “Cuffing Season” back in November, I had to quickly…

Finding Clarity Through the Fog
Finding Clarity Through the Fog It’s been months since the last time I wrote but today although uncertain of what the hell I want to write about I felt the need to try to express the emotions that are coming…
We the People of the Divided States of America
Today I have to speak about what has been weighing heavily on my heart. Normally I write about healing from divorce, navigating new relationships and the reflections of dating in your forties, which can be exhausting, but often times humorous.…
Sex in the Suburbs
What better way to lick my wounds and mend my bruised ego after another failed attempt at finding love than to binge watch five hours the Sex in the City marathon. Judge me all you want but what the hell…
Reflections of Each Other
I opened up one of my journals last night after waiting for a phone call that never came. As I sit here reading the words of affirmation that I wrote last year suddenly I was saddened by what has happened…
Get Your Mind Right
These are strange days we are living in. We are forty days into quarantine and one day just blends into another. Going into the grocery store feels like the apocalypse is coming with everyone wearing facemasks and hoarding toilet paper.…
