Here.

Since late October, it’s been a dark season. I truly didn’t think I would be here again, but here I am. I’ve needed to pull back from all that I had excitedly put into motion—my book, my business, my first representation on a Board of Directors, my volunteering.

DBFF’s

You are your community. You become like the people you hang around with. If your friends/family complain, and bitch and are Nancy negatives…you’ll probably have these tendencies, too. Given COVID-19 or where we live, good influences IRL might be hard to come by. <insert digital media>.

COVID-crazy vs. COVID-clarity

COVID-19 has been the ugliest b!tch and the most magnificent blessing. It has, no doubt, been one of the most challenging seasons for me personally, but has also brought the most clarity and calm that I have ever experienced.

Calling my shot

I’ve always let other people have so much influence on my life— my profession, especially. Much of my work life has been driven by money and climbing the ladder. I’m also an extremely hard worker, so I throw myself fully into each role, trying to rock the sh!t out of it like no one else has.

Black with envy

Envy. Gosh, envy is so powerful and so incredibly ugly. For me, it’s the root of all unhappiness.

Take me to church

One of the foundational perks of going to church is community—friendly faces, small groups, relationships, accountability and support. At this point in my life, I’m seeking the exact opposite.
