There was a time when I did not honor my body. I did know how to be in this body. I did not know how to live in this body. I did not know how to listen to this body. And I most certainly did not know how to respect this body. I consumed things without consideration...
The world will gaze at physical beauty and fashionability. It will praise accolades and achievements. It will showcase talent and broadcast drama. It will make room for conformity and allow subtle resistance to seep into the cracks. It loves the bold and exalts...
When I’m feeling amorous one of two things happens... I’m highly productive because romantic feelings ignite my creative juju. I’m not productive at all because romantic feelings cause me to daydream like a lunatic. Both are beneficial in their own ways. When romance...
Your kiss is soft and hungry. You know just how to touch me, gentle but forceful. You ask me what I want, then tell me what to do. You are unapologetic about your desire. Your needs are my needs. Your satisfaction is also mine. You take your time, there is no rush....
Whoever said “love means not ever having to say you’re sorry,” may have been onto something (that means you, author of Love Story, R.I.P.). But in my experience, love has meant saying I’m sorry - a lot. The people I love or have loved, know that I mess it up. I get...

My mother is the queen of clean. In that way, I'm not my mother's child. But one thing I do know is, a made bed changes the energy of the entire room. As a child, we were required to make our beds every single day (even if we were running late). My mother ran our...
I’ve come to learn in my forty years of “infinite” wisdom that personal boundaries are vital. If you think you can get away without setting them or abiding by them for that matter, you’re dead wrong. Although I have to admit, I am not in love with rules. In fact, I...
