I was looking at old pictures and came across some from a period of my life I can only vaguely recall. It was in the midst of that current turbulence four years ago, but my oh my, did it just spiral thereafter. Don’t get me wrong. It isn’t all bad. Some pretty amazing things have… Continue reading Eventually
Author: Step One 101
My work is usually centered around the impulsiveness of life and my reactions to it. Be-it controversial or relateable. I usually write about anything that comes to mind and I ensure that all of my work is metaphorical and allows the reader to create the event in their minds as they explore. I have always viewed writing to be another form of artistry and expression and I am excited to see where it takes me!
Just Call Me God
Alpha and Omega.Ancient of Days.King of Kings.The one who split the sea.Mountain mover...."My daughter... just call me 'God'".---I sat with my thoughts this morning and asked God for a meeting.

Rest. You’ll Need It.
I just closed off the work year at my day job and was ready to go full force into my business and other interests. It had been a push and pull type of year that had me on my feet constantly. Full of excitement and hope - I had a weekend in between to rest.… Continue reading Rest. You’ll Need It.
Excuses Excused.
At some point in our lives, we are expected to have released enough of the trauma that raised us and met us along the way because years later, the same type of betrayal or reflex from an unfavourable experience should NOT still bring tears to our eyes. At one point, you are now to blame… Continue reading Excuses Excused.
The (Money) Elephant in the Room
I find it hilariously funny how we all speak about wanting to make money. We are open to sharing money, but then we are put in the position where we have to beg for our money back, and it feels like a taboo to speak about! It is a sensitive matter. I, too, have been… Continue reading The (Money) Elephant in the Room

One thing I have noticed when I am almost approaching… Shark Week – is how my will to do anything plummets to the ground along with my mental strength and self-confidence. I feel like a delicate flower in that instance that is also ready to throw grenades at anyone laughing too loud. It is a… Continue reading The Syndrome
Testimony Time
I stood in line and tried to hold it together as I waited to give my testimony. People said how God helped them succeed. And I was just happy to be there. It shook me to the core. “Don’t cry, by all means, just say what you need to and move on.” I saw the… Continue reading Testimony Time
Watch This Space
Today I worked at an art gallery that had a little café in it. I ordered hot chocolate and a croissant. Thereafter I began completing the tasks I had for the day. I worked until I took time to notice my waitress did not come back to check on me. The distance between me and… Continue reading Watch This Space
Occupation: First Born
The job description lacked detail. We were born into it not knowing, and we progress blindly - not knowing. I watched in a trance induced by trauma of the current happenings in my life as some of my family got ready to lay my uncle to rest outside of town. In the numbness, I started… Continue reading Occupation: First Born
Bawling on a Budget
I think we can all agree that the economy is not as we remember it. I genuinely thought I was having a difficult week, then it became a difficult few weeks – and now it has been quite some time filled with financial instability and increased financial requirements… I have lost my mind fifteen times… Continue reading Bawling on a Budget
