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.

Sisters Helping Sisters With Compassion #1000Speak
"Keep your hands to yourself."

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 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...]
