Dear Readers, Have you ever had a mind that never stops thinking? I do. I get it from my father. Each week, I ponder about what I should write about for my blog. I look for signs or a topic that speaks to me. There are times that nothings speaks to me and it is…
#201 spoken word poetry
***I spent my days last week listening to spoken word poetry by Rupi Kaur. To my surprise, I was gifted her new book later in the week. Strange right? (Thank you Joanna). Synchronizing is what my therapist calls it. Enjoy this random spoken word poem. Kind of want to do an open mic night soon…

#196 a full bathtub
My best friend gifted me a bath bomb and I’ve never used one before. Believe it or not I don’t really like to take bathes because they take a lot of time and I’m usually on the run. A nice hot shower usually does it for me. Oh and I also hate how when I…
#195 an empty bathtub
I sat in my empty bathtub. After fighting back tears multiple times in the day, for the sake of being called emotional. I finally let myself sob. I sobbed silently so that nobody else can hear me. It was one of those days that even the slightest thing was going to set me off. After…
#194 creativity and feelings
Being creative is such a gift. It’s something that we all have in ourselves but I think it takes a lot of courage to actually be creative. There was a time in my life that I had so much fire in me. I was on a roll. I had a full-time demanding job and I…

Mom The ocean is magical. Think about it. The ocean is 75% water and we have only discovered 80%. I like to take my mom to the beach a couple times a month. I never liked the beach when I was younger but lately, I have been enjoying it. At first, it was an act…
