Growing up I always despised the smell of alcohol. I had an uncle who used to over indulge and always smelled like a brewery.

Bye Alopecia!- A poemstory
I wake up and stare as you shine in glory. Whatever! You don’t scare me. You don’t define my past or future. You tried to take my self-esteem. You almost did. I survived. Ha. From the moment you took my scalp, I feared the stares, points, and eyes of sympathy. Some empathy. Take yo tired... Continue Reading →
Mom Jeans….
I chaperoned my 8-year-old daughter’s 3rd grade field trip to the High Museum of Art this past week and let’s just say, as a 29-year-old mother of three, I don’t know if I’m supposed to wear mom jeans or not. Nope, I don’t mean the new stylish, fit and make you look sexy mom... Continue Reading →

Unfortunately, I’m a working mom
I've been off from work (due to a surgery) going on 4 weeks. Although, I was restricted from doing some activities, such as heavy lifting and driving, I've loved being at home.

Why I Stayed: Life After Infidelity
I didn’t stop instantly loving him like I wanted to. Like I thought I could. The years we’d been together, the memories created, the love shared, and the vows spoken didn’t just *poof* and go away like I expected it to. I was angry, hurt, pissed, and disappointed, but I’ll be damned if... Continue Reading →
