I took a moment yesterday to process. My responsibilities came pouring in one after the other with some slight inconveniences sprinkled on top for good measure. I was exhausted, I have been exhausted. My mental state and drive were challenged by events that were so different from each other. From writing proposals to following up… Continue reading The Echo
Car Lipgloss
Being female, you need a backup for your backup. If you have lipgloss, there has to be one for your car, one in your handbag, one at home, one at work… I do this mostly with sanitary pads because you just never know when you will need them! So, they should be everywhere you are.… Continue reading Car Lipgloss
20/24 Vision
I was on Instagram and I saw a girl about to bungee jump. She was suited up, in her harness and all she had to do was jump. She started to cry, changed her mind and wanted to quit. Her sister was cool and calm and tried to encourage her. She was probably anxious too… Continue reading 20/24 Vision
The Hollow-days
“No. Not now. Not here.” I constantly whispered that to myself. On Christmas morning I had what I have recently recognized as a “grief attack”. Grief attacks are like emotional anxiety attacks that are a result of the grieving process when you have lost a loved one. It persists in people who have not fully… Continue reading The Hollow-days
Waste or Wait
I am at the bank.I hate the bank. The lines, the finding out you forgot a certain detail and have to come back next time... As I stand in line, I am a few people away from the service table. I could turn around, but I have been here for a while so I would… Continue reading Waste or Wait

I recently went on a safari getaway with my friend. We were in the middle of somewhere with no signal most of the time, and it was absolutely lovely. As we went on our second safari, I said I wanted to see a hippo. At that point, we had seen a lot of animals. I… Continue reading Be Specific!
If You Knew
I see a lot in traffic. I see people dodge bullets they never even knew were aimed at them. I see cars emergency break before they hit into other cars that cost ALL of our cars to fix. And the driver never knows. If they knew, they'd drive slower and fear every movement. They'd be… Continue reading If You Knew
Right Now
In retrospect, we all have the same goals. Body, health, business, career, education, family, relationships... we all want to win in every area of interest. I acknowledge that, of course, we have different paces, focuses, and resources. I might not have the same 24 hours you do. Please don't forget that. In our pursuit to… Continue reading Right Now
Portion Control
I remember “kick-starting” my weight loss journey for like the 9 trillionth time a few years back. Whenever I try to embark on this particular journey, I try to make a purchase that signifies its beginning. The last time I tried, I bought a plate. Not just any kind of plate, I got those sectioned… Continue reading Portion Control
Show Me
One of the scariest prayers I’ve ever prayed is for God to show me something. This prayer is made when you are at wits end and the only thing that can make sense in that moment in time is the Father’s intervention. You see what you see but you want Him to point it out… Continue reading Show Me
