    2024: The Year I Reclaimed My Table, My Peace, and My Power This year, I’ve learned one of the most liberating truths of my life: Just because you share history, kids, or memories with someone doesn’t mean they deserve a seat at your table. Let me say that again for the people in the back: History does not…

    Alright, y’all, let me share some things while they’re on my spirit. Healing? It ain’t for the weak, and it sure doesn’t happen overnight. Healing is a process—a messy, unpredictable one.

    Recently, someone told me I’m glowing. A few weeks ago, I would’ve laughed it off and kept moving. But now? I receive it fully, because this glow comes from doing the work—closing chapters, letting go of connections that no longer served me, embracing new beginnings, being poured into, healing old wounds, standing in my power,…

    PEOPLE CHANGE! Wild concept, I know, but hear me out. Just because you’re holding down the fort in the same old mindset doesn’t mean everyone else signed up for that too. People grow out of immature nonsense, drop negative thinking, discover healing, and even start taking accountability (smirk). And guess what? That changes their entire…

    Grief is something else. One minute you’re out here living, feeling carefree, and then suddenly—bam—you see something. Maybe it’s a football jersey, a red bird, or their favorite food, and your emotions just hit you. Once it happens, you can’t stop it because your feelings have already started to take over.

    I never fully understood when someone called me a bag lady but now I do. I’d like to look at it as packing the BS away for another day, but that was quite the contrary. Let me explain, you know how some folks save every shopping bag… A huge shopping bag stuffed with hundreds of…

    I often speak on the importance of boundaries, but it was a lesson I struggled to apply to my own life, especially with my mother. Her presence was a constant source of frustration, a relentless critic echoing in my mind. The love I craved felt conditional, offered only when I catered to her needs or…

    I’ve never liked being labeled as resilient. It’s not an accurate description of who I am. Sure, I’ve faced my fair share of challenges – weathered storms, dodged bullets, and dealt with ridicule – but I see it as just part of life. We all have to overcome obstacles in our own way. To be…
