Transparency Tuesday: Family Dynamics
Happy Tuesday y'all! I found myself so sad last night as I laid in bed talking with my hubby. I shared with him a truth that I often gloss over as it relates to my relationship with my mother. I don't have a lot of expectations for people because I have been constantly let down by those whom I love the most. And while I am OK not being able to depend on those I love even for what seems like the simplest of things it still hurts when you can't. I never got to really experience

She's back!!
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

Book Review: Rome by Grey Huffington
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.

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

Not enough time in the day…
Y’all there is legit not enough time in the day. I have been going nonstop since 5 AM. There’s so much that I wanna catch you all up on, but I just don’t have the bandwidth right now. I am just making it to my bed and sitting still (or laying down) for the first time ALL day long. It has been an ongoing saga all day. I barely remembered which day it is but what I do know is that I survived it and I found joy in a lot of things today. I really can’t wait to catch you all up on
