Well, the first 9 days of February have been an external internal battle. Internal battle of not letting external affect my mental space and an internal battle of why I am suddenly letting the external affect my internal peace. I haven’t been feeling physically 100%. I’m on the tail end of a cold and can’t shake the cough and sinus drainage. Sexy. I know. I … Continue reading A Lesson in Irritation

Some people need someone to feel complete and happy, and I’m pretty darn complete and happy with me. I don’t knock those who need someone, but I am an advocate at learning to spend and love yourself. RuPaul says it best: “If you don’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?” Continue reading THE $23.69 LIFE LESSON
There are days that test your patience. The days that make you want to take out the frustrations on others, yourself, or both! I had one of those.
