Most who read my blog know that when I first began this journey, I wasn't making money blogging nor did I even realize I could. But slowly, I found ways and resources to help me indeed make a living blogging. By the way, I am truly humbled and grateful for all that my blog has afforded me in so far as generating income. One of the many sources of income, I have utilized with my blog is to run paid advertisements and even sponsored … [Read more...]

I Write, Therefore I Am
Still dark as night out, as I roll over from my recent slumber, but don't stay there long. As my eyes adjust to the little light that is this morning for the first time in hours, I am possessed and my mind is working over time with thoughts of what I want to write. I do what comes oh so naturally to me by rolling back over, swiping my iPhone on, open up my notepad and the sweet release of words come pouring out of me once again. If you … [Read more...]
Sisters Helping Sisters With Compassion #1000Speak
"Keep your hands to yourself." Once upon a time ago tonight, my almost 6 year old, princess-crazed daughter (thus the princess, royalty references here often) needed to be reminded to show compassion and kindness rather then physical aggression even in her angriest of moments like after an argument with her younger sister. It is times like these, when she perceives that she isn't getting her way or a toy she wants in in her sister's … [Read more...]
It’s Rare, But It Does Happen Wonderful Wednesday
It's rare, but it does happen...

I PROMISE this space in 2015 will remain pretty much the way most have grown to love and expect it, but there is one change I have … [Read more...]
It’s Complicated With Sex And The City
It's Complicated... In my mid to late teen years, the phrase, "It's Complicated" always conjured up visions of a relationship just hanging on by a thread. It also envisioned the person attached to it not entirely sure if they wanted to actually be in said relationship. Whether the person uttering the phrase was my then boyfriend, myself or a friend or friend's partner, I think I heard this phrase often enough. By the time, I was in … [Read more...]
Confessions Blogging Gets Real Wonderful Wednesday
Sometimes more then one real wonderful thing can happen in one day. That is exactly what happened this past Friday when I attended an all day blogging event that I eluded to here.
