I don’t like labels. I don’t even like my name (yay for pen names!). I am me. Thats the only label that matters. But I do have facets of my life. One of which is spirituality. It actually started organically as a child, but growing up in a catholic family, it was immediately shamed out…

Its a privelage. It honestly is. For so many people being able to relax or enjoy life is dependent upon being financially secure. What I mean by that is they have enough income to cover basic needs, savings, retirement, and then enough to do activities to enjoy life. If that is you, yay! If it…

How do you build a comfortable life for yourself (and kiddo) when you’re single? And, please don’t say find someone with money to marry because that never works. Stop basing life choices on hallmark and lifetime movies trying to force women into traditional roles of exploitation. Please and thank you. If you want an easy…

The myth of security and protection If you want to build a life for yourself, don’t go to USA. In fact, don’t stay in the USA. According to the Labor Rights Index, The USA scores lower than India, the D.R. Congo, Myanmar and a host of other countries. But what about the high wages? They…

So much. It means so much. I am so tired of people not understanding the absolute soul deep toll it takes to raise a child. Full credit to the multiple African cultures that created this and teach this. Dealing vs Ideal Yes, you can do it on your own, but no that isn’t how it…

That is the vibe. Not just today, but it has been for a while now. But today, I am going to vent about it. Millions of people around of the world are fed up with the USA’s B.S. If you have ever been in the lower economic spectrum, you know how lack of funds can…

And how I want. And in the way that is best for me. And at my own pace. And from the institutions that I want. Why am I learning, continually, at my age? Because I love to learn! I talked about this a bit in a few posts, but doing what makes you happy is…

I feel like single moms often dismiss or undervalue our “wins”. I am still in the habit of doing this, but I am more mindful of it now. Why is it important though? Because the name of the game is ‘consistency’ and the reward is our very important friend ‘dopamine’. Celebrate! No, really, you need…

If you’re reading this from the USA…you need to move. Out of the country. Every single strategy, side-hustle, “coach” advice, etc. they have all been (nearly) destroyed by the current administration. Or are on their way to being destroyed. If you want a quick breakdown of what has been happening, and what is in the…
