So I said I was gonna write in May, but I didn't make It. The entire month of May, I navigated the challenges of my own mental health and the mental health of those around me and I didn't have the capacity to write about It. I fought the fight alone most days, but those who check on me constantly, like Mon, and the K-Squad, saw the spiral happening in real time and finally my homegirl said when are you going to call your therapist because this isn't you friend! I meet with my

Once you know, you can't unknow. So be careful when you ask for things to be revealed, if you aren't prepared to deal with the revelation.

Favorite quote: "I never really did fall out of love. I just learned to live without her."

Favorite Quote: "I'm not perfect, but she'll always get the best parts of me." - Hiram asking Mr. and Mrs. Solomon for their blessing to propose to Ximena.

Cause whose dream, big dawg?!?

Favorite Quote: "The way he looked at me made me blush, the way he protected me made me feel invincible, and the words he sometimes spoke over me seemed deeply rooted in a level of respect I appreciated more than I could articulate." - Nala

Healing is not linear. Lessons repeat until you learn to approach them differently.

Although every day is a day to celebrate women over here, I couldn’t let the day end without formally acknowledging International Women’s Day! I hope each and every one of you had a day filled with peace and that you found joy in at least one moment! In spite of the enemy’s attempts to steal, kill, and destroy I found joy in being able to worship in person today. I have missed church three Sundays in a row and that just isn’t my jam. My pastor delivered a powerful word (per u

Instead of doing a review, I've decided to link the previous 14 books, because the backstory is necessary before you get into Quasim and Blair's love.

I know that's hella cliche, but it doesn't make it any less true. People who are miserable want nothing more than to bring you into their hell. But just because they want to go to hell doesn't mean you have to join them. Respectfully, you can go to hell all by yourself. I took this one to tiktok first because I needed to express my sentiments out loud. This is a season of enforcing boundaries! If you are committed to living in a hell filled state, I will not being joining you

Pray for those who seek to harm you…I have to smirk at the thought of that because why would I pray for someone who clearly wants to be my enemy. Everybody that wants to hurt you won’t try to do it physically. There are those who intend to hurt you by attempting to tarnish your character or speak ill on your name. They are just as dangerous as those who attempt to physically harm you. But this morning’s devotion reminded me that you have to keep your eyes set and centered on

"Our commitments to those we love sometimes cloud our ability to truly exist. It's so easy to fade into the shadows trying to be what others need us to be."

Remember, when I was working out every single day! Listen, the way I have had to cut back on regular life things simply because I couldn't walk...like for real walk...has been the absolute worst. I pushed through for most of 2025 and it wasn't until I dropped a dumbbell on my foot in late September and there was no more pushing it until later. So I had a keratoma removed from my foot today after nearly a year of hobbling around and walking like Viola Davis in Fences… I tried

Honestly, I am in a mind space where all I can express is gratitude for how far God has brought me. So much has happened in such a short time span. I am struggling to find a way to write this current chapter which is weird. But whenever it begins to flow freely, I will let it. I won't hold back. Until then, I will just keep posting. I met with my therapist last Friday and she expressed how proud she is of me. I told her that she is phenomenal and I am grateful that she helped

Skylar is his plus one to a wedding, and his ex, Shelby, is in the wedding party. Sir...why didn't you tell her this?!?!

The funny thing is I was supposed to post this last night, but literally only got the title typed before my eyes shut completely. I woke up this morning tickled that my streak had ended but excited to start another. I moved last weekend and have been going nonstop for the past 7 days. In that time I have combed out my babygirl's locs that she had for three years, moved a whole house, judged a virtual reading competition, written papers, and mommed my butt off. It has been a

Seriously, there's no way these are the same 24 hours that we used to have growing up!!! How is it that every time I wake up, go to work, and blink it's midnight again. So much to do and so little time. Finding joy in the things I get to do! I hope you are too! love you...for real I do! Love, MichelleRena

Y'all, I ain't never been this excited to get my period. According to the Cleveland Clinic, " Stress can cause light, late or nonexistent periods — which may eventually create a hormonal imbalance" and baby the way my five o'clock shadow has been increasing over the past few months is a clear indicator that my hormones are imbalanced. I haven't experienced a period in nearly four months. I could feel my body tensing up from chronic stress. The last time I was this stressed ou

Available via KindleUnlimited, Physical book, and Audible Before we get started, I just want to say that this is the 5th book in the Grey List. Grey Huffington is an author that I found last year, and she has an extensive catalog. There are at least 10 people in this book that have their own books. The Grey List is about the Childers clan: Chemistry, Rather, Rugger, Roulette, Roaman, Range, Royce and Rome. Children of Richie and Rhea Childers. Chemistry has four brothers
