Okay, that title is being hella dramatic but bear with me here.
I get iffy about Mother's Day. I still have a mother here and I'm one myself. But I always feel there's someone missing. For those new to my blog, I lost our first son, Ethan, several years ago due to incompetent cervix and subsequent premature birth. He lived for two hours.
Ever since his untimely passing, I feel a

So, we recently moved. Yeah. I didn't mention it at all on this blog because well, it was hella short notice and honestly speaking, we're still moving. We moved from our wonderful neighborhood of Highland Park to nearby neighboring Pasadena. Not a bad shake!
I can't get into details about said move other than the new owners of our rent-controlled apartment had a vision that didn't include the current residents.
The aging process is so interesting because you never know when certain things will kick in and how they'll snatch your edges off.
Kinda like that.
So, a while ago, my husband and I adapted a vegetarian lifestyle for 30 days. While we're not vegetarian or vegan, the experiment did have a permanent impact on our lives. For one, we definitely don't consume as much red meat as before. Two, we're

Growing up, I can remember the first time I heard about a mass shooting. I was already in college when Columbine happened. My roommate and I, with our friends and neighbors, were gathered around her small TV in our dorm room and we watched the news with horrifying expressions. We
It's funny how life can sometimes do a complete 180.
You never quite know where you'll finally end up. You don't know the many twists and turns life will take you. Something you once thought was in the bag, may not be so secure, after all. Life is funny that way. No matter how much you use your planner, how predictable and mundane your routine is, you can never be
I decide to switch up the vegan posts a little but venturing outside of my comfort zone and going to a vegan restaurant. I've been to vegan restaurants before and I've enjoyed them. However, vegan restaurants can often be a hit or miss. Some have their flavoring down to a science and some should pick up a seasoning book, but I digress.
So, I've heard a lot about one of
I really don't talk about my family for a variety of reasons. Mainly because there isn't that much to say. I'm the youngest of four, have two parents, and several nephews with one lone niece.
Over the weekend, my father was honored as a Civil Servant for the annual Black History Gala in Palm Springs, my hometown. My dad and I have had a very complicated relationship which I'll talk
Who said I was sane???? LMAO. No seriously, as I began this serious journey, I decided early on, “I’m a brand. You will find me everywhere with my ideas on everything. Like Kim K, without the porn tape and cosmetic work done on her, but more talent."

Honestly, y'all ain't gon' do that to the Queen.
As I watched her Golden Globes speech last night, I was enthralled. I was hyped. I had tears in my eyes. It was powerful. It was awe-inspiring. It was everything.

And of course, the internet started to get hype with the loud musical chorus of 'She Should Run for President!' followed by a choreographed number of, 'She Can Save Us!'

At least for me.
I've never really been keen on doing yearlong resolutions I'll make either on December 31st or first thing when I'm kinda awake, kinda sober, kinda coherent on January 1st.
And I'm supposed to keep these resolutions all freakin' year??
It's not that it's impossible; anything's possible if you put your mind to it. But let's keep it one hundred for a moment - do you honestly believe you're
