Photo by: @Khaparazzi I’ve got a story for y’all… So a few weekends back, my spouse, myself, and our son are by our pool grilling.

When I was younger, I had all kinds of ideas about what kind of mother I wanted to, and was going to be. Largely, this was modeled after my own mother’s way of mothering me, but it was also a commitment I had to showing up for little life (or lives) I created in all… Continue reading This is What (Bereaved) Motherhood Looks Like

No, I’m not talking about Cinderella’s evil step-sisters or those creepy twins from The Shining. I’m talking about these sneaky little mofo’s that show up in life right when times are already hard. How do they show up? Shame = I am wrong | I should be something/someone different | who I am is not… Continue reading Siblings From Hell: Shame & Guilt
There are times when you notice things about yourself that seem a bit foreign. They’re things that you don’t recall doing or thinking… ways of being that seem unlike the you, you remember.
