No, I did not have a child who then went and had another child. But I am a grandma in every other sense of the word. And to be clear, I don’t mean gives-you-cookies-and-tissues grandma; I’m talking grumpy-hates-everything grandma. Or … Continue reading Oh My God…I’m a Grandma! (The Grump in Me)
If I had to pick my most annoying habit, it would be that I like to correct people. Grammar, semantics, spelling, wrong answers, misquoted statements – if it is wrong, I will point it out. It’s a problem, and I … Continue reading Musings: A Taste of My Own Medicine
I woke up in a weird space today. For some reason, I feel the need to reach out to old flings, flames, and friends. See how they’re doing, say hello. Must have been last night’s dream. I do this sometimes, … Continue reading Nostalgia
I was very young when I met my first boyfriend. Besides the fairytale novels that I’d spent many a night reading, I had no idea what the ideal partner was supposed to be. Should he be funny? Considerate? Tall? Emotional … Continue reading Are Relationship Standards Holding Us Back?
There’s something they don’t tell you about heartache: It doesn’t just disappear. I haven’t written a blog post in well over a month and every day has felt like a foggy, unending existence. I remember posting Finding Myself and thinking, … Continue reading Finding Yourself: Not So Easy
2020 was a terrible year for many people. People died, here one day and gone the next. Others lost their jobs, their homes, and their livelihood. Not many people can say they had it easy. And amid such pain, loss, … Continue reading Count Your Blessings

I was complaining to a friend of mine the other day about how I never meet people who share my interests, which is both true and frustrating. She looked at me all blank-like and said, ‘well, how can you when … Continue reading Finding My Crowd
One of the most important things I learned this year is how to pick my battles. Throughout life, you will meet all kinds of people, many of whom won’t share all your beliefs. And while your beliefs are central to … Continue reading Pick Your Battles
The demons we fight are ours to fight alone, no? At least some of them are. Ever since I was a little girl reading Cinderella and Snow White, I’ve dreamt of a knight in shining armor who will come and, … Continue reading The Demons We Battle
Spoiler alert! You might not want to read this if you’re still watching The Resident. I just finished watching season 3 of The Resident, and my heart is in tatters. All for one simple reason; AJ Austin and Mina Okafor … Continue reading The Resident: Cupid’s Arrow Is Broken
Originally posted on 7 September, 2020 I recently turned 21. In previous years, I have counted the seconds to midnight. Waited with bated breath for the calendar to read September 6th. I have then flooded my status wall with pictures … Continue reading 21
28 August 2020 I struggle with the several demons that share my head. On a bad day, two or more will fight for the top space in my thoughts. I will wake up obsessing over my body (there is nothing … Continue reading Old Soul
I just discovered Outlander. And so far, so good, although I still can’t decide whether I love the movie or the book more. What can I say? I’m a sucker for a good historical romance. I gotta say, though, no … Continue reading Of Books and Movies
