When Love Cracks You Open: A Lesson in Self-Love
It's Time to Get Back to My First Love…Writing. I’m so full of lessons that sometimes it’s just easier to write than to record a video. So today, I want to talk about love and relationships — and the many lessons that can come from them. My latest one? Whew. It was a...
Healing Through Music: A Playlist for the Fellas
Because men need space to heal, reflect, and grow, too. Music has always been a source of healing—a way to process emotions, find clarity, and step back into your power. But let’s be real: men don’t always get the same permission to express what’s on their hearts. The...
Healing Through Music: A Self-Love Playlist for Growth & Reflection
Sometimes, healing doesn’t happen in silence—it happens in the rhythm, the lyrics, the moments when a song feels like it was written just for you. Whether you’re working through heartbreak, learning to love yourself again, or simply needing a reminder of your power,...
The Sun and The Moon: A Love Story
The Sun and The Moon: A Love Story I’ve been thinking a lot about Orange Moon lately, and the more I listen, the more I see it through a different lens. For me, the Sun represents the man, and the Moon, the woman. It’s this beautiful dance between two...
Ebb and Flow
It’s time to guard my ears and my eye gates So much information swirling around that it’s too much to fit on my plate So many dating rules What’s truth, what’s a lie? And for me, being a single mom, Do the same rules apply? There’s so much advice about why I shouldn’t...
The Battle Within
What everyone sees on the outside is a man who’s trying But what’s happening on the inside is that he feels like he’s dying Or wishing that God will take the pain away And all folks ever tell him is that he needs to have faith and pray But they don’t see that he’s...

Sometimes it's easier to run to the bandaid than to take the time to properly care for the wound Unfortunately, Bandaids don't heal I'm hoping that you'll wake up and realize that soon The journey through healing doesn't always feel good but if you put in the work...
Be still and Know
I'm almost certain that the "Good Woman" "Good Man" discussion has been going on for years The internet gives it a chance to spread faster I don't believe there's a right or wrong What I do know is that as a people, we've always had to be strong Back in the day, Daddy...
Surrender and Rest
There's an inner voice fighting to be heard but there is a layer of sadness that drowns it out A layer of lies that causes me to listen to the voice of doubt What do you do when you're too tired to fight? When everything feels loud ...even when the house is quiet at...
Ex-Factor
"It could all be so simple But you'd rather make it hard Loving you is like a battle And we both end up with scars" These lyrics are from Lauryn Hill's Ex-factor, but this is the conversation that I had with myself this morning. It makes sense, It's Winter Solstice...
Don’t think your way out of it…take inspired action
Ok so I'm trying something new here. Normally when inspired, I share my daily lessons via Facebook! Why put all the goodies on there, when I could easily share it with you all here. I hope that I can make these posts happen daily, but we shall see. Anyway, on to the...
The Light
Usually, I just post my poem with little to no discussion about the inspiration or meaning behind it. My last few poems have been about depression and each time that I write, my goal is to find the light in the moment or be a light for others. This poem was written...
