Emotional Detox Smoothie
*cough*
Happy Friday (Saturday) Night (Early Morning) Love and Light to you! Welcome to another winning week of awesome!
Under normal circumstances, I don’t ever claim *cough* because I don’t believe in it. *Cough* to me is the exact equivalent of Voldemort to the wizarding world. I don’t even like to say the word out loud. Meanwhile, I’ve found me some uncomfortable symptoms and while I will never admit defeat to the word *cough* itself, I will accept that I’m not feeling the hottest I can fee...

Your Beliefs are Powered By Your Beliefs…
Well?
Happy Friday Night Love and Light to you! Welcome to another winning week of awesome!
What do you believe? Do you believe in magic? Do you believe in miracles? Do you believe you’re healthy, wealthy and wise? Do you believe you’re sickly, poor and dumb? Do you believe every one of your needs are met? Do you believe you aren’t enough; don’t have enough and will never be enough? What do you believe? What do you believe about yourself? What do you believe about the world? What do believe abo...

What a Difference a Day Makes
This is what joy looks like. Maybe.
Happy Friday Night Love and Light to you! Welcome to another winning week of awesome!
I had the most amazing day today. Technically, I don’t celebrate The 4th of July. You will not hear me say “Happy 4th” to anyone I like. And yet, every year I end up non-celebrating somewhere with other non-celebrating people, probably having a
decent time, not being dutiful patriots.
This year I got to hang out with my dad, my Aunt Bonnie (who is also my God Mother–I call her...

Nothing is the Path to Everything
and so it is…
Happy Friday (Saturday) Night (Morning) Love and Light to you! Welcome to another winning week of awesome!
You wouldn’t believe me if I told you half of the stuff that’s going on behind the scenes of my actual life. You wouldn’t believe me because sometimes fact is way stranger than fiction. Sometimes the people around us, (people we may love, people we barely know, people we work with, family, friends, etc.) are so entrenched in their stuff, they wouldn’t know sane behavior if it...

#TheLOVEisReal
Happy Friday (Saturday) Night (Morning) Love and Light to you! Welcome to another winning week of awesome!
WE had ourselves a ball Thursday night. A brown girl superhero had a drank (well, several) whilst some really amaze-balls souls and I liberated my second novel, which (you know by now) also happens to be the second book in The Stellar Trilogy– AAAND we did so with so much LOVE, I’m still pinching myself. We all got to see Book 2: Awake for the first time, at the same time. Theunveilingdid...

Meet Kai…
*swoon*
Happy Friday Night Love and Light to you! Welcome to another winning week of awesome!
Roughly 8 years ago, I wrote a book. It didn’t start out that I wanted to. I used to keep journals religiously, and in one of my red journals I had written down a few paragraphs of an idea I had of some stuff that was swimming around in my head. On one random day I barely remember, I read those paragraphs to a friend and that friend practically begged me to sit down and write the book. I had exactly ZE...

Garden Wisdom
…
Happy Friday Night Love and Light to you! Welcome to another winning week of awesome!
I was just telling my social media fam a brief story about a girl who found gardening and it changed everything. That girl is me. What had happened was, I stumbled upon the beginnings of a tomato on one of my tomato plants. See, this doesn’t sound like much, but when you understand how it came to be that I even have tomato plants at all, a bit of reflection is almost mandatory.I have never cared much for dir...

Sweet Potato Corn Chowder (with a Thai vibe)
Sometimes you just need comfort food. God knows I do. So what do you do when you need a food hug and it’s 84 degrees outside?! You make a soup that is comforting, full of flavor and still light at the same time. This is my take on a fall/winter classic–the always comforting potato corn soup. But instead of using cow’s milk, which can make a chowder heavy, I opted for a good quality light coconut milk, like the kind they sell at Trader Joe’s. And instead of using all white or red potatoes, I l...

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings…
L.O.V.E.
Happy Friday Night Love and Light to you! Welcome to another winning week of awesome!
Under normal circumstances, LIFE and I get along swimmingly. Under normal circumstances, I just wanna dance and let LIFE herself have her way with me! Hon-tee, I have such a love affair with my life sometimes, it catches me off guard and I wonder if I’m sane. But alas, I am not.
It’s unfortunate that the last few weeks, this here Friday Night Love and Light has been a touch on the quasi somber side. LI...

Come Get Free with Me…
Happy Friday Night Love and Light to you! Welcome to another winning week of awesome!
Ever heard the saying: “you don’t know how strong you are until life beats the crap out of you with a wood plank repeatedly to the side of your face?” No? Yes? I’m here to confirm officially that I am one strong sista diva chic. Between my dad’s in and out dance with his heart and St. Mary’s hospital, keeping my family together, holding a space of love and light for those who are used to...
