Dive Deeper

By the end of this month, I’ll fulfill a promise I made. Last year, I told you all I’d be more authentic. And I do think I’m striving closer to that goal. So, let’s get real.

As I write this post, I’m dancing to Craig David’s Hot Stuff (Let’s Dance). It’s an old fave. And more truth- dancing is incorporated wherever it can be in my life. What can I say? Life is difficult and I slip joy in wherever possible. Look for a song in each blog post so you can join me.

Reading over some previous posts, one thing I want to improve on is our conversation. The one between me and you. Think of the new blog as a place where we can catch up.

Here are some answers to questions you all asked while I took a break.

Are you okay? Where have you been?

Yes, I’m all right. I experienced a bout of depression at the beginning of the summer and chose to first and foremost take care of me. I made some important life changes as well to aid in this process. Now that it’s December, I am a healthier woman for taking the time to pause, and encourage others to do so when they can.

What are you working on?

Oh, wouldn’t you like to know! Let’s just say it’s something that I poured a lot of heart and soul into. I’ve been a busy gal working on all of these updates. And getting back in touch with the deepest parts of myself. Details forthcoming. BUT! As of today (Dec. 11), I’m happy to announce that one of my poems just got published in an anthology!

Um, details about this puppy?

Yes! Lillibette is our newest family member. This beautiful diva is quite the queen. She’s a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. And if someone said she was a fairy’s steed, I’d believe them. If you catch the obscure reference in her name, you get big kudos.

Let’s make this a fun blog post to jump back in. I want to dive deeper into who you are, friend. So, spill the tea. Here are some questions for you:

What music inspires you?

2. What book have you read more than once?

3. What is your life’s slogan?

Share your answers in the comments. In the meantime, let’s dance, shall we?

P.s. Have you peeped those shirts yet? Cuz you’ll want to.
