Work Friends

“Yo, why do you have me legit processing you quitting, in therapy?” I’ll get back to that quote in a bit. Before I began my current job, I hadn’t held a position for more than two years. Prior to my current one, I worked at/for Amazon, my college’s cafeteria (making the best sandwiches ever), Target,Continue reading “Work Friends”

Thirty, Flirty, and Thriving

July is my birth month. Yes, I am one of those people who turn their one day of birth into the longest celebration possible. The reality is, it mostly results in a few free meals from random restaurants with birthday rewards, some sort of gathering on my actual birthday, and me saying “it’s my birthContinue reading “Thirty, Flirty, and Thriving”

Contentment

When I woke up on July 17, 2022, I didn’t expect the day I experienced. I planned to post a Mental Health Monday blog about turning 30. I decided to postpone that and the one you are reading was written a couple hours before July 18, 2022, a few hours before I plan to postContinue reading “Contentment”

AABC – June 2022

It has been a while since I updated my Adventure Awaits Book Club blog content. I posted an introduction blog back in May.

The Cranky Lizard

For this Mental Health Monday post, I chose to share the random story I created while playing with my son. My son’s energy is unmatched. This child is like the energizer bunny and just keeps going until sleep is forced upon him. My energy level is tragic. After working a full-time job, managing our home,Continue reading “The Cranky Lizard”

10 Songs for Mental Health Support

We’re only a few posts in, but I felt like doing something a little different for Mental Health Monday! I’ve accumulated a list of songs over the years that make me feel some type of way. They mostly have an encouraging message or have relatable lyrics. Most of the songs are ones I heard onContinue reading “10 Songs for Mental Health Support”

Michael B. Jordan

Happy Mental Health Monday! Michael B. Jordan has no idea I exist. I don’t typically write about people I don’t personally know. This post honestly has nothing to do with him aside from briefly mentioning he’s beautiful and how he’s a small factor in my personal mental health. I think many people who are notContinue reading “Michael B. Jordan”

Who Has the Answers?

“If a person comes into your classroom, turn your body so your side is facing the front of their body. This way, if they shoot you, they are less likely to hit any vital organs.” “Get into a corner of the room not visible by the window in the door. Someone will check the doorContinue reading “Who Has the Answers?”

Lupus Awareness Month x3

Happy Wednesday x3 This is post three focusing on Lupus during Lupus Awareness Month! Lupus did not exist in my mind until meeting Samantha in 2013. Selena Gomez brought a bit more awareness to the world when she shared her diagnosis. (Selena, wanna play Samantha in a movie based on my book GTS one day?)Continue reading “Lupus Awareness Month x3”
