Book Review: Relationship Goals by Michael Todd

OK…. I just tried to write a review that was objective and highlighted some positives from this book. But I erased that mess because it wasn’t my authentic thoughts and feelings. Part of my reason for writing this blog is to be my authentic self and while I NEVER strive to offend anyone, I’m not…

Thunda Thighs: Black Business Review

First of all, I had no idea that Thunda Thighs was a Black owned business! I ordered a pair last month and wore them for the first time last week. imagine my surprise when I was reading an article about Black Owned Fashion Lines to try in 2021! As a fluffier woman I can barely…

Forever Isn’t Long Enough

I always thought forever seemed like a long time until forever didn’t seem long enough. Growing up I read beautiful stories of great loves growing old together. In my mind, those couples went from 25 years old to 85 years old and those 60 years together seemed like a VERY long time. More time than…

Election Day Angst:2020

As election day 2020 drew closer and closer I had no feelings at all. I exercised my right to vote, as I have every election since I turned 18. I vote because I remember how my elders were not afforded the opportunity to vote. I vote because people literally died for this right. I vote…
