The Reality of Education
Growing up, my dad always told me the reason to get an education was so that I could learn how to learn. Seems redundant, but the ability to have an open mind willing and able to learn has opened so many doors in my life and career. And as a result, I am now addicted… Read more

What being fired taught me
I KNOW it’s cliché, but being fired taught me that when one door closes, another one opens. But that’s not what I was thinking as I was listening and processing the words my Principal told me when she was telling me that I was terminated after telling the exact same thing to my coworker about… Read more

Technology is the death of romance
As some of you may or may not know, I have been on the struggle bus of romance for most of my adult life. The past year I’ve spent pursuing someone I kept telling myself was worth it. But in reality, I should have ran away when he dumped me via text message the first… Read more

2021: Not that 2020 won, but that we be growing
In my last post, I went over the highlights of 2020. For the record, I got that upgraded car on the last day of 2020, a Subaru Forester which has been a great addition to my single mom life with Aria. I also unexpectedly met another great addition to my life. I started texting this… Read more

2020 Vision: Let me reintroduce myself
This year has not been the one I imagined it would be. I’m not going to lie, when 2020 started I had high hopes. I had hoped things between my daughter’s father and I would work out. I had hoped to run the Chicago marathon for the second time. I had hoped to be a… Read more
