I’m Not Running Away from Myself Anymore.

I never really understood why certain men were fascinated by me. I’m not talking about those who wanted to destroy an inner piece of me, you know, by taking advantage of the fact that I was easy. And that’s the thing: I was easy. Given the right time and moment, you could have had me like ...

I Am A Woman… A Queen.

Why else would you expect me to settle for anything less than love in its purest form, as if my desires to make love to you, birth life with you, be ravished by you, and merge completely with you could be contained or constricted by fear that we might actually be bound to one another?

A Letter To My Former Self‏.

You’re learning to let go more too, and that is no easy task, especially when you so desperately want to be loved like you know you deserve but failed to receive as a child, no matter how vehemently this may be contested by those involved.

The Secrets Behind Why Women Over 35 Give No F*cks.

Many of us have been married. Many of us have been divorced and even remarried… and if you’re me, that would be married, divorced, married, divorced. Love may have left the building, but we know it’s just a matter of time before love kicks the front door down and takes us on another adventure.

Defining Depression Isn’t Easy; Living It Is Even Harder.

I don’t want to draw attention to the fact that 90 percent of the time, I am fighting with every ounce of energy to just get by and be as present as I possibly can in a world that expects everyone to be in a constant state of outward happiness and enthusiasm... a world that only defines ...

Everyone Deserves Their Sacred Union.

But, the only things that we definitely know are: Are we staying true to ourselves there? Are we feeling more empowered with, or without, our partner? The answers to these questions are our final answer. Sometimes, the wisest thing to do is to accept the picture, and take our hearts out of a ...

We Are All Alone.

Recently, I have personally come to know several single mothers. I hold great reverence for each of them, as I cannot imagine being solely responsible for the upbringing of another human. Yet they have done so, beautifully. Every time I hear another one of these ladies’ stories, I stand in awe ...
