Balls of Beauty

What a weekend-like...no...what a GREAT weekend. Totally unprepared to be OFF for a new federal holiday Friday so it felt like a Saturday throughout the day. I had been gearing up n mentally preparing for this Fathers Day weekend which for the last few years was spent wit my boys. As I am refining myself, I am putting vulnerability on the line more often than not as reality becomes clearer the older I get. My growth is allowing me to either get closer to things or people who

Growing up I used to watch "Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous" where little ol' me could never relate to such a lifestyle of celebrities. Those types of shows grew into MTV's Cribs and other reality show docs to where I'm sitting on the couch fascinated by it all. I have no fairytale story of rags to riches here. No silver spoons scattered in the kitchen n definitely no "generational wealth" to live like #BlingEmpire (I love that show). To be honest, I've never been into desig

Who would've thunk it...meeeee....lil' ol' me here again!

Tis the season to participate in Lent n give up something for 40 days to signify Jesus's fasting. I've only participated in Ash Wednesday once n it felt weird with someone rubbing dry ashes on my forehead...also note I am not heavily religious to claim nothing but a higher power that guides me so there's that. But I do make slight attempts to "give up" something around the season. Soooo what am I gonna sacrifice? I will be giving up on NOT giving up. Often times as a procrast

Currently as it stands we are anxiously awaiting for the announcement of one of the biggest elections in our nations history and I meeeean on edge! Covid numbers goin up higher than a giraffe's azz at a Snoop Dogg concert and although we've gained an hour with daylight savings time, I still need a nap. My body is randomly tied, my appetite fluctuates to full meal or popcorn for dinner. I am balancing working full-time, juggling being a full-time student and oh...I'm a mom! Em
