Sorry, I've been gone for so long but this is what's been happening on this side of the moon....

Nobody tells you that healing doesn't mean anything until you see it in full view.

The ever changing tides in a woman trying to rebuild.

Its gonna be MAY!!!! And the catch up about how the sabbatical is going on the brighthand side is real.

.......just some early morning thoughts.

All sales are final. All skins must go! The finale to this literary mixtape.

....we've made it pass the climax....let's give this a different pic.

Its another Shameless Sunday in these parts and today I'm talking more about what the real process of facing yourself looks like.

......back down the rabbit hole.

It's time for some Shameless Sunday poetry, if you will. Enjoy the mindscape.

….Just a rambling kind of day.

It is literary mixtape time. What is that you may ask? Think of it as a chapbook, in audio form. One step down from an audiobook, one step up from an journal entry. This project is about the death of a star. And the birth of an orbit. Here's to the journey!! *there may be things here that can be triggering so tread lightly, but remember - Ain't No Victims, Ain't No Saints.

......True journey ship requires grace.

I am on a sabattical.... by design & by choice. Sometimes we all need a break. This is mine.

2023 has been a HELLUVA year, but as one heads for a sense of renewal, it is safe to say that what needs to go will go and what needs to stay will stay.

As we're closing out this year, it is important to recognize the strength, the power, the playground and the yard you walked out of before you take off. TRIGGER WARNING: For a brief second, there will be some heavy things here so please consume at your level of comfortability.

Its almost closing time for awhile so let's talk about the send off, the next stage, the in-betweens and what starting over looks like in loose form.

I have recognized that I am losing sight of all the things I love, the things that push me and make me who I am and what that all looks like in the end. So, what is the best way to reignite if you never have the chance to shut it all off??

.....a beautiful day in the neighborhood starts with you. But how do you force one to see what's been blocked out? You tell me......

Time to start powering through these memoirs with some added stories along the way. Of Date Trees & Sea Salt — The Starving Gypsy

Today's episode is a bit random, a bit about life, freedom, who you are, who you want to be what it means to take the first step through the looking glass.

I have been underground lately. Somewhat by choice and also cause life has just been far too busy and hectic. Time to talk about all the projects, life as of late and what being o the otherside of growing looks like.

.....multiple times of "not knowing my place" brought us here today. My question is always - If I am me and I govern this body and these actions, then who else is supposed to know my place for me? Just another day in the office really.

Closing out this quarter seems a bit different. And as I'm taking more and more things into context, we found ourselves at this rant, of sorts.

What does it take to be the person you fearlessly want to be?

.....sometimes lessons and inspiration come from the most unexpected places.

Today, I found myself breaking apart the good, bad, in-between and down time that comes with this business owner, hyper-creator life. There's layers.... and sometimes, peeling back those layers means that vulnerability is seen as a guard dog instead of a badge of protection as it often is.

Today, we're starting off the week with the motto of "Use Your Words". It pays to not only be honest with others, but most importantly, yourself and your placement in the world.

Its not over. Now, we will talk briefly about the house, my takeaways from being in Charleston a brief amount of time and what it looked like to come home.

.....Its time to unpack!!! This trip took and gave so many things that I had to split it between two episodes. In this first one, we're going to talk about some of the lead up to the trip, all the gifts the FAA gave and rolling into the first service like a zombie. Gear up, this one is all storytime.

Well, we are embarking on a new set of journeys together. As I'm driving around, I often think about things so here we go....

Its that time again.... when I sit and reflect on where I've been, what I've learned, who I am and what I want next to look and feel like.

Sometimes, you have to sit with certain parts of yourself to understand what is happening fully. I have not been the best at choosing people to be in my life that actually look out for the quieter portions, but I'm starting to feel like that whole thing is meant to be interpreted and defined as life goes along. I have to find my way back... to me. Cause that's who is about.....now.

Global Warming.....this #@!% is crazy.....

......cause being the catalyst of change in everyone else's world but your own is exhausting. Welcome to the Dollhouse.

As we further dive into the layers of significant change in this lifetime, it was necessary to bring up the moments that define us....and how some of that healing process comes back around full circle. We are here today, I am here today. *this episode may contain some difficult subject matter. Please enter at your own risk.*

.....today's event prompted some things, but such is life.

What does it all look like if you put all of your effort into you???

What does it look like to take ownership of your person? I have often wondered if the places I have landed in, at times, have been crafted specifically for my journey and my experience. I say this because I know 1000% that I would not be who I am and continue onward to who I am becoming if these things didn't occur. Art by the amazing GDBee

Its the last day of the 10 in 10 and somehow, along the way, I became a different person again. So, if we keep this momentum going, this year is going to close out on an interesting note.

Today, we're talking about self care, starting the new season off the right way, my newfound love of The Challenge and the adventure that lies ahead. Happy #nationalpodcastday!

We had to continue the story which involves 14 hrs of driving, Motherly love and all the shenanigans.

Time to break apart one of these work adventures that comes with a few lessons and random madness.

.....this started with me talking about an origin story and in that breath, I realized something bigger here. That's what it always is. Something is always bigger. Also, Congrats to Sheryl Lee Ralph & Halle Bailey for being fearless and dynamic.

....I know y'all don't like to read these days so I took the liberty of reading the interview for you. And elaborating on some other portions. Meet Demeatrie Funderburk - CanvasRebel Magazine

Sometimes it's all of everything, all at once.

Childhood causes bruises...black and blue. Sometimes by them, sometimes by you. But, one day, you have to wake up and choose....you.
