Why is Everyone Trying to Look Like a Kardashian?
I have a complaint or more like a pet peeve. I really dislike when people, especially women, try to be someone else. When they don’t embrace their own unique beauty and try to fit into a mold. The current mold I see everyone trying to fit in is the corsetted (waist trainer) waist, big butt, full body makeup, hair extension, overdrawn lips of the Kardashians. Don’t get me wrong, I am not knocking the Kardashian’s or the way they have been able to make millions off of just being a Kardashian. What I am saying is why are they and everyone else all trying to look specifically like Kim. Kim is…

Take That Step Into Your New Life
Until you decide that you are no longer willing to live your life just being comfortable, you will not step into that new life. You have to decide for yourself that where you are is not where you want to be. You have to decide what you want your life to be. The power is with you. No one can decide for you. You have to take a good look at your life and ask yourself a few questions. What do I want my life to look like? What really makes me happy? In 10 years, I see myself doing what? living where? Really think about your answers.…

Cluttered House Cluttered Mind – Midlife Purge Part 1
This is part one of the three-part Midlife Purge series. Your house is a reflection of your life and right now my house and my life are a mess. I have always believed that if your house is clean and clutter-free then your life will follow suit. Being a single mother of four, who at various times has ran a statewide non-profit out of my house, has not allowed me to take my own advice. For nearly 30 years, I have lived with clutter and chaos. Oh there have been times at least once a year where it all becomes too much and I go on a purge, throwing stuff…

Hope in a Jar
Retinol in the morning and placenta cream at night. Wash your face in cold water it will tighten your pores. We will do anything to save face. My entire life I was told do not under any circumstance put soap on your face. It will dry out your skin and make you age faster. It seems to me that gravity is the culprit here not soap or warm water. It seems that gravity is pulling my face down and causing sagging and wrinkles more then any thing else. Maybe I should have been told to walk on my hands as much as possible and that would have counteracted it. Now I’m…

Salvation through Discipline
When you’re a writer the first thing you do in the morning is write even if it’s just one sentence or one word. You write. That is the discipline that I learned from participating in the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). I have wanted to be a writer as long as I can remember but I had put if off in order to be a mother and build a career. I always meant to do it but life kept getting in the way. Then I heard about NaNoWriMo in November 2014 and I said why the hell not. I decided to put me first for once and see if I could…

Dear Miss (or Mr.) “I Need a Man”
Don’t be afraid to be alone. You don’t need a man to complete you. You need a man to compliment you. If he’s not supporting you on your journey then you need to get rid of him. You are already doing it all by yourself.
