One Year Later…Learning To Live Without My Father

29 November, 20180

I struggled getting out the bed this morning. I had to fight myself just brush my teeth. But I did it, I got out the house today. Today marks a year that I have been living without my father. If i am being honest, I have been holding it together all year just to unravel and fall apart on this day. I knew I was taking off today. I would do nothing but see my son off to daycare, lay in bed, and wallow in my tears. But a wise man suggested not mourning my father but celebrating him instead. So that's Read more [...]

"When a baby is born so is a mother" - Unknown Being a mother is serious business.

To taking 30-60 minute cat naps and calling them sleep. Today makes 30 days that I have been a mother. I survived the first month of forever. Want to know a secret?

Why Aren’t You Receiving The Love You Are Simply Trying To Give?

30 August, 20180

Once humans are past the bloom of youth, they began to crave the type of love that we were created for: Eros. Some people search their whole lives for this romantic type of love and for the most part it is very trial and error. Most people pull from what they have seen from the adults they grew up with. Some have tried to mimic movies and books that they have read. Whatever the case is, this love is a learned love, you learn to give it and you learn to receive it. Sounds easy. The problem is, Read more [...]

First Time Mommy Chronicles: Losing Baby Fat

27 August, 20180

Three weeks, two mom boobs, and one fupa later, I am standing in the mirror looking at my new body. We are so pressured to snap back. There are a million articles on how to "lose weight fast after your baby", that women are not healing properly. Granted I have always been a bigger girl. But If you know me, you know something I'm extremely proud of is the fact that I lost over 80lbs before and swore to myself I would never see 275 on any scale again. Although I had gained some of my weight back before Read more [...]

I Hate Being Pregnant

18 May, 20182

If you know me, you know that I can be a bit of a brat. I love my freedom, sushi, a good cocktail, and of course travel. However; this isn’t me saying that I’m upset about not being able to go to Bali this winter, or the fact that I can’t even take the edge off my day by having cocktails and sushi with friends.

For the women who are unable to have children, or who struggles Read more [...]

Baa Baa Black Woman Have You Any Strength?

24 May, 20170

I read a status on Facebook the other day that said "Mama Pope is just another Angry Black Woman complaining about a Black Man"... Clearly they didn't get it. I have been long wanting to write about "Mama Pope's Monologue" since I watched the Season Finale, but didn't know exactly what to say. Until now. The words that Mama Pope spoke came from the core of a black woman's soul. From Black women having to watch their men and children whipped, sold off, raped, and humiliated all while having Read more [...]
