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.

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.

Negative Space
I am clinging to some key signature pieces that mean the world to me.
I’m depressed periodically during the pandemic, why wouldn’t I be…
I prefer to stay alive. Death is harsh and terribly final. I'm not done living yet.
America is the racist “New World” we thought it to be, nobody is surprised.
Black American people who are descendants of American Chattel Slaves and our real (not performative) allies, I love you truly. Please take care of yourselves. May God keep, Blessed and cover us as we move forward living in this racist "New World". -- #MommyFab
