You Didn’t Ask
Does anyone else think we have diluted the term friend? Notice how effortlessly it rolls off the tongue. When did we wed real friends -the ones who have our back-with every acquaintance that crosses our path? – how did the ladies from yoga, the ones we small talk with, get promoted to the friend category? […]
What’s In A Name?
This week’s post comes from an anonymous author- brace yourself for a genuine, honest, and raw voice. Anonymity is essential; her story is personal- I grasp this, and you will too. It is hard for me not to use a name; personally, I think she’s a rock star. If it were up to me, I’d […]
Use Your Words
My younger brother is the male version of me – he is curious, inquisitive, and pragmatic. There is one exception, he infuses fun into everyday life. He is fun(ny) to be around- I am a lot of things, but fun(ny) is not an adjective used to describe me. Friction does not exist in our relationship; […]
Brick By Brick
Hey, Y’all! Allow me to introduce my friend Stephanie. Our friendship spans decades, and it is hard to imagine my high school years without her. Even though she came in the latter part of high school, she is in every memory and in every moment. The friendship felt organic from the beginning. She fell in […]
If You Could See What I See ~Part One
Rejection is redirection ‘I am sorry to inform you that we cannot offer you admissions….’ and there it is the No. Weeks were devoted to preparing college applications. Editing essays and creating a portfolio to showcase his academic accomplishments and his personality. The rejection was disappointing; I saw his chest deflate. I respond the only […]
I Call BS- The Shit Shift
This Ain’t Daycare ~ Alex Toussaint Wowzers, 2020 proved to be relentless. Confession time, I relapsed. The gravity of Rona (aka pandemic, 2020) nearly gobbled me up and swallowed me whole. And for a hot minute, I lost my shit. My happy dance, my mojo, my positive vibes – all of it snatched up. The […]
No Man’s Land
Allow your breathing to anchor you ~ Ally Love My 40’s are whizzing by. My boys are older, spreading their wings, discovering their voice, and requiring less of me. Predictably my hubby shines bright in his profession. It is not faultless; headaches exist. Still, he excels—a success story under any lens. Me, I got stuck, […]
The Peloton…The Back Story
But did you die? ~Robin Arzon I purchased the bike under the pretense of a birthday gift for my hubby. Full disclosure is that my besties own one, love it, and always rave about it. I grew tired of listening to their constant chatter; I wanted in on the action. The Pelo arrived in late […]
To Be Honest
Hi, I am Mic! I interact, read, absorb, take pen to paper, and aim to make sense of this so-called life. I am genuinely interested in people and learning their stories. I ask questions. A lot of questions. To the point that it makes some uncomfortable. Most of us wear a mask, a protective shield, […]
