Solitude and its power has to be one of the most underrated things to value. I have been wondering why I feel so calm with everything going on around us in the world. It was not until I began writing that I realized exactly why I am in a state of calmness. It is in… Continue reading Solitude
Keep The Same Energy
Isn't it funny how adults will acknowledge that children are sponges in all areas, BUT energy and emotions. I have always found frustration in adults not allowing their children to have emotions as it relates to being sad, mad, or frustrated. Especially when children are picking this up from the adults around them who are… Continue reading Keep The Same Energy

How can you teach your child(ren) who they are, if you have no clue who you are? A question I struggled with answering since separation from my child's father. As shared before, being alone is something I never had to experience. From teen-adulthood I formed an identity around my relationship further losing sight of a… Continue reading 24
“Oh Sh*t!”
Kids or sponges?
Re-Learning Them!
Have you ever taken the time to try to re-learn your child? Maybe not, because it is not often that you are given enough space to even think about re-learning them, but maybe it is time to start creating that space. In a world that makes it a crime to take a break as a… Continue reading Re-Learning Them!

Also crazy to think how effective the break was for me. I… Continue reading Summer Break Is Over

To hear that Georgia has some of the strictest child maltreatment and abuse laws, not due to the fact that… Continue reading It’s Ok To Take A Break
Mommies Are Human Too
There was no point before or during my pregnancy that I ever saw myself as a single woman with a 2 year old. Time after time I have looked at other women and not understood how one could conceive a child with someone they knew were not fit for longevity together. It was not until… Continue reading Mommies Are Human Too
Happy Mother’s Day
Motherhood is hard. And if you’re conquering it, I have nothing but love, gratitude, & respect for you. We live in a world where Mother’s are not readily afforded the level of respect & uplifting, as it’s deserved. Mother’s are given one of the most difficult tasks of conceiving, carrying, birthing, raising, shaping, & preparing… Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day
Sleepless Nights
Imagine having to deal with everyday stressors of parenting, on top of having a black son in this life we live in. There is something different in me as I began to write this entry. Something I don’t usually feel when I set out to publish. I usually try to go in with a clear… Continue reading Sleepless Nights
