Grab your greatness by making a difference in the lives of others. #Mommyfab #EfabulousHB
And it’s more of the same
And moreso will I only be seen through my words and it be the only escape from the invisibility I have always felt deep in my heart as a Black American woman.
A change has come…
Life ebbs and flows. A change soon comes. #MommyFab
The 10 year challenge.
I did a 10 year challenge in 2021 after I did my big chop. I struggle. So many beautiful parts of me are in my past. Yet, so many broken, sad, and hurt parts of me are in my past and linger in the present. I seem to languish with one leg in the NOW, … Continue reading The 10 year challenge.
Finding purpose outside of work
Many Black American professionals find themselves struck between providing for themselves, their children, their families and quietly being unfulfilled and ignored at work. #MommyFab
Coming full circle
If you come to my house, it feels like a home. And for the first time in my life, I am no longer running .... I'm happy here in this place, I made a home for me and my modern family.
New Year, Not New Me, New Decade, Glad I am still here.
I'm happy to be alive, writing this blog post because things could have went a lot differently. Upwards and Onwards #2020.
Creative Block and being a Black Mom Blogger
For the last half of the year, I've experienced a huge CREATIVE BLOCK. I've also questioned what I'm doing in the blogger-space. It happens. #MommyFab #WriterInLieu
Life isn’t coming up roses and that’s okay. That’s life.
Life isn't coming up Roses and that's okay. Indeed that is life. #MommyFab
ONE THOUSAND WORDS!
My Dad told me that "A PICTURE IS WORTH A 1,000 WORDS". I'm a word person. Words matter. Words cut. Words heal. Words hurts. Words without action though are meaningless fodder for life. I don't take pretty pictures. I take pictures of things that excite me, that interest me, that please me, that upset me, … Continue reading ONE THOUSAND WORDS!
So you get a little wiser with time
Things become crystal clear in your 40s and 50s. #MommyFab
Life as a slice of pie
You deserve rest and pie. Period. #MommyFab
The need for rest
Sometimes I just sit down. The fatigue wins.
And so the locs
I'm not original. I mean I am an original but I do things that are trendy. Everybody and their 2nd cousin has started a loc journey. And gotdamnit they should!!! My God, the freedom. The freedom for a Black American person to wear their hair as it grows out of their head is monumental to … Continue reading And so the locs
When the bad people, bad things, and bad situations go away
Not all things loss are a loss. Sometimes they are a divine win.
Sometimes I forget and then I remember
Sometimes I run out of spoons. #MommyFab
The illusion of oneness
Unity does not exist. Maybe oneness is a concept that's been eradicated. #Monnyfab
Create space
Life is short. Create space for YOU. You deserve it.
When the bottom falls out…
... something that suddenly fails or becomes unable to continue in a normal and effective way. That's the definition of the phrase "when the bottom falls out". I have known this feeling almost consistently in my life as a Black American woman. Especially, when it comes to people. I had to learn that some people … Continue reading When the bottom falls out…
