My hair is like my personality; it’s wild, stubborn, has its own way of expressing emotion and attitude. It’s curly and goes every which way, no matter what I do, no matter what I say. It fights against the orderly and sane, springing forth from my head like a snakes on a M-F**’ing plane, gone […]
When my dad and I used to go for coffee and long conversation, he impressed upon me the importance of being a good listener. He told me to always make eye contact, let them know you are listening by nodding your head, asking questions when the narrative was unclear or a term unfamiliar. He said one […]
I asked myself – what can you do in the face of this enormous and monumental time in history? How can you be an instrument of peace, of unity and hope? The answer came back simply and with little to no fanfare – Honor thy Father and Mother Again, this can mean many things to […]
It is nearing the close of 2020 (see ya!) and the New Year is approaching and with it, the whole New Year’s Resolution or as I have adapted New Year’s Intention. This year is a four-part intention to help me work on the four areas of myself and my way of living that I feel […]

I went to traditional public high school for about a year and a half; of that year and a half, I attended classes maybe close to a full year. It doesn’t sound like that much time now, but that was a very crucial time, developmentally speaking. It was the basis for how I *thought* the […]

Today we memorialize (remember) those who gave their lives in service to our country. Veterans Day is a different day, celebrating all veterans, living and deceased.
