Comparison Is The Thief Of Joy
Comparison is the thief of joy, right? And it KILLS our mindset when it comes to our kids. Think about it. “My child is not walking yet, and hers is walking already.” “She breasted for a year and a half, and I only made it 10 months.” “My boy is fast just like that kid.Continue reading “Comparison Is The Thief Of Joy”
Update Your Self Care
Girl, why are you struggling so hard to take care of yourself? Why are you chasing that thing that has always calmed you down? What you used to do to feel better? How you have coped before?

We Need To Talk
Please allow me to speak on behalf of the entire population of women globally and beyond if that happens to be a thing… “We need to talk” is the Queen Mother of Distressing Words. Definitely gives me spicy arm pits.

Counting The Minutes
I’m tired. Really tired. Are y’all? I never want to wish my life away at all, and I try not to want time to hurry up, but I’m ready for this break. There will be no girlbossing starting Friday.

Stupid Stuff I Do
I’m a real piece of work sometimes… I log into Zoom calls and can’t get in, then wonder what’s wrong. The meeting is tomorrow. I make a point to buy heavy cream for my coffee at the grocery store, because I’m out at work and can’t enjoy my coffee without it. Then I leave itContinue reading “Stupid Stuff I Do”
